NBSBC New 24

Government sources have confirmed that Pirates have attacked a NBS Trading Corp convoy. Reports suggest that these Pirates had aquired a small squadron of old style Frigate-type vessels, probaly stolen from a foreign nation. These pirates appear to pose a severe threat to the safety of NBS ships as well as other nations ships. This morning Five Type-45 destroyers left New Portsmouth o a mission against these Pirates, our nations first deployment.

200 Miles out from New Portsmouth

The Five ship Squadron, led by the BSNS Intrepid, was on course for the last postion of the Trading Corps convoy. They were moving at maximum speed on the off-chance that there were survivors.

The Democratic States of Jakra is willing to offer it's assistance in hunting down the barbaric pirates who attacked a ship of trade.

Honorable President, John Henry Eden

... It apppers that an unkown number of Dr'klows frigates from the United North Navy Yard have been hikacked. Prime Minister Hume promises swift action, to the party or parties responsible for this act.

...We are now getting unconfirmed reports of the frigates in NBS water. The Prime Minister has issued this warning to the NBS:

"You will return the Dr'klows frigates without damage to UNS waters, failure to copy with said terms will be considered an ACT OF WAR and will be meet with maximum force."

Diplomatic Message

Should NBS ships encounter frigates and should they pose a threat the NBS national security, they will be engaged and boarded. These Frigates are suspected of raiding a NBS Trading Corp Convoy and will be brought to justice.

The Free Land of Erbanak have been hit by these pirates.

a convoy of 5 trading ships with 4 destroyer escorts suddenly went missing near where yours did. It is clear then, that whoever these people are, they are well equipped, and well trained.

And, since we are allies, it is our duty.

Thus, we have sent the flagship EPS Intercontinental, 2 submarines, 5 cruisers, 10 destroyers and an aircraft carrier. Whoever they are, they will perish for thier crimes.

Will NBS ships please note that we have confirmed reports of a Captain James Tylar on one of the Hijacked frigates. I repeat there is a UNS Captain James Tylar on one of the ships. Check the bording parties fire, I repeat check their fire before shooting.

First Destroyer Squadron

The Squadron approached the burning hulks of the convoy and began rescue operations

OK. We'll send in boarding parties before we destroy them.

Intercontinental

"We have arrived at the destination, sir, and are setting up a defencive perimeter around the NBS's rescue operation."

The Captain of BSNS looked up at the arriving allied Carrier group. Getting on the radio he hailed them.
"Welcome allies, good to see you"

Intercontinental
"You too, but look sharp. We've detected some unrecognised ships on our radar, to the north-east. They seem to be coming from a port there."

They set up a tactical formation and move towards the north-east, towards land.

To all Nations taken part in this mission:

We have suspitions to belive that a Far-left wing radical group, "Sword of Light" has taken atleast a small part in this situation. Please be aware this group has used suicide bombers in the past. Recommend using caution when engaging targets.

Signed,
Commander Scott Morgan, Merchant Navy

Intercontinental
"Affirmative. Our AA guns will be at full alert, and the boarding parties will be comprised of expendable troops."

The Destroyers picked up around 20 people backing away from the ships.

The Intercontinental picks up a radio signal from an unidentified source:
"Turn back, and cower, these are our waters. Any who come near us will be destroyed."

Just after that, all 12 radar signals are identified as Aircraft Carriers.

Intercontinental
"Ah...that's gonna be a problem...Er..We are really going to need some support over here, and a lot of it."

"Also, if Captain Tylar is on one of these ships, we're afraid he may not be for much longer..."

OOC: The Pirates are Frigates

OOC: ...do they have to be?

OOC: Yea, pirates stealing Frigates is realistic, stealing Aircraft Carriers isn't

OOC: who said they stole them? :D
And who said they had to be pirates? :D

OOC: Well the OP said they had been stolen, and you said that the Captain who Northen States is aboard, thus making them pirates

OOC: I didnt say he WAS aboard.
And this adds a bit of a mystery element.
Maybe they bought them?
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
Also, i said in my opening post that a convoy with 4 destroyer excorts went missing. A few frigates can't do that sort of damage, can they?

ooc: wow, this sprung up fast

ic: To: All nations involved
From: Office of Defense, Takaram

The Takaram government always takes the threat of piracy seriously, and we are willing to dedicate three Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyers and a Nimitz class aircraft carrier to assist with this situation.

General Ronald Strauss, Chief Defense Officer, Takaram

To: Takaram

That's quite a force there. We could really use it in disposing of these aircraft carriers.

"Well that's kinda bad then, because he just got picked up by one of our cruisers, with 5 bullet wounds in his chest and 2 in his head. Needless to say he isn't alive."

ooc: Wait, you can't just kill someone elses people. BTW where is NBS located on a world map?

OOC: And where is this little rule?

ooc: did you read the stickies?

"This is Prime Minister Hume, God damn this whole bloody mess! I want the Captain Tylar's body, he died for his nation and the least we can do is treat him with respect, he will be getting the Medal of the People. And to NBS: It is your fault that man died today his blood is on your hands. I want to talk with your. Needless to say we expect any of our ships to make it through this bloodsheld to be retuned to us post haste."

ooc: Well, I suppose if UNS is willing to run with it, we can. But still, read the stickies! That goes for all of you.

ooc: did you read the stickies?

OOC: ...yes


ooc: Well, I suppose if UNS is willing to run with it, we can. But still, read the stickies! That goes for all of you.

IC: To: Prime Minister Hume of the United North States

Woah, Woah, Woah!
Take it easy, it isn't the NBS's fault, it's these pirates that have the blood on thier hands.


To: all nations involved.

And it turns out that they are more than pirates. This is a very powerful rebellion force that has taken over the country of Karabos, and turned it to anarchy. They must be stopped, the whole world is at risk.

"Not their fault! We agreed on the terms, they take whatever action they need, but they were not to sink or kill any UNS. Perhaps if they took a more passive dircetion I would not have to tell his children their father is dead! I agree though we must stop them, expect the full support of the UNS Grenadiers to track down and kill these men."

DO NOT destroy any ships actually in the port, for you may kill innocents, and we don't want blood on our hands, do we?"

Doubt by trial

"Aye, aye." Commander Morgan picks up his radio mic.

"F-12 you are Good to go, Green Light on alpha but be aware their are friendlies in the port advise you stick to twenty-five mm."

"Roger that going for kill..."

Captain Morgon changes his radio fequency, "And thank you to whoever knocked some bloody sense into our Prime Minister!"

To: The Government of The New British Shores
From: The Department of Defense, The Grand Duchy of Noordeinde

Sir, Madam,

The Grand Duchy of Noordeinde is well known for it's Anti-Piracy policies. My country even tried several International resolutions at the World Assembly against piracy, but not enough delegates voted for those resolutions. Therefor my country started it's own Naval programm against piracy.

I just had contact with one of my Aircraft carriers, the Hr.Ms Kingston (http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WMBR_Invincible_Sea_Dart.jpg), which is in the area of The New British Shores, and will from now on help prevent pirates from their hostilities against merchant vessels.

The Hr.Ms Kingston (http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WMBR_Invincible_Sea_Dart.jpg) will stay for at least 2 months, and afther that the Noordeinde Congress wil decide if it's nessecary to keep the carrier any longer at the New British Shores coastline.

Onboard of the carrier are the following planes;
- 5 F35 Joint Strike Fighters (http://www.ois.com/images/stories/ois/f35_2.jpg).
- 5 US-3A Vikings (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9c/S-3_Viking_takoff.jpg).
- 5 Westland Lynx helicopters (http://proto5.thinkquest.nl/~lle0555/lynx_22.jpg).

Sincerrely Yours,
Collin Powel

Affirmative. It seems it is perfect timing, too, as there appears to be a number of enemies popping up from, seemingly, nowhere. It appears they are using the crowd as cover. It will be very hard to neutralise these people without some civilian losses.

The Hr.Ms Kingston (http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WMBR_Invincible_Sea_Dart.jpg) prepared Cruise Missiles, type boeing Harpoon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harpoon_missile), to be launched. We request coordinates from the ground forces of Hostile posistions so that we can take them out.

Capt. Johnson
Noordeinde Navy.

Woah, no way. There's way too many civilians here. It'll be more of a massacre of innocents than clearing of enemies. They're actually using the crowd as cover from our fire, so...

Ah, what the crap. We're sending the co-ordinates...now. Give us at least 30 minutes to get our troops out of there.

**Encripted Message to Erbanak and other Joint Forces**

I received the same information of my pilots in the F35 Joint Strike Fighters (http://www.ois.com/images/stories/ois/f35_2.jpg) about the many civilians. I immediatly ordered to stop the launch procedures. No Cruise missiles will be fired!

For your information, the 3 F35 Joint Strike Fighters (http://www.ois.com/images/stories/ois/f35_2.jpg) will be withdrawn onboard, and the other 2 F35 Joint Strike Figters (http://www.ois.com/images/stories/ois/f35_2.jpg), which were on Stand-by, will be airborn to back-up ground forces and maybe take out several hostile positions.

Capt. Johnson
Noordeinde Navy.

This is stupid. We don't even know how many enemies there are! We can't do anything! Snipers are useless, as the enemies are very hard to identify, and even if you could, you'd probably hit a civilian that got in the way. The only solution i can think of is to kill the soldiers blocking the exit, allowing the crowd to escape. But if we do that, they will just replace the soldiers lost. It seems the only thing to do is to make sure all of them, civilians and soldiers alike, are dead. Wait...hang on...I'm getting reports that the civilians are...helping our forces. They far outnumber the soldiers, and apparently are trying to disarm them, with surprising success.

Well...they did it for us, then.

**Encripted Message to Erbanak and other Joint Forces**

Great news. But indeed it seems to be a to risky operation to let Air-support take out hostile positions, therefor I ordered to withdraw all Noordeinde Airforce planes back onboard of the Hr.Ms Kingston (http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WMBR_Invincible_Sea_Dart.jpg), and go on with our original mission to patrol against pirates in international waters.

Capt. Johnson
Noordeinde Navy.

Good. The ground forces have captured all of the remaining enemy units, with quite a lot of help from civilians, of course.
It seems the soldiers were using these people as slaves in the port.

ic:
Several RHIBs full of Naval Assault troops left the 4 boats and headed for the shore. They sat there, checking their newly issued M8(the XM8 the US Army canceled) assault rifles. As they hit the beaches, they looked around, unsure of where they should deploy next.

ooc: Wait, I thought you two were working on this together and Erbanak actually had an idea of where you want to take this. Ummm.... awkward

Here's a fantastic bit of info, for you guys. The famous Black Guard of Erbanak is fighting in this.

What, you mean you haven't heard of them?

OK...basically, they are a load of convicts from the time before the Erbanese Peace Pact that were forced into military service by the corrupt and evil government then for small crimes. They showed high amounts of skill and determination, so they had their time on service extended. After the EPP, they were stuck to the barracks, they could never be normal again. However, rehabilitation attempts have at least given them personalities. They act quite a lot like mercenaries, buying their own equipment and generally deciding for themselves which war they want to fight in.

So then...you like? Well I bloody hope you do, because they won't be very happy if you don't.

ooc: Wait, I thought you two were working on this together and Erbanak actually had an idea of where you want to take this. Ummm.... awkward

ooc no they not working together

ooc no they not working together
