Open Letter to All SDL Nations: Greetings to our fellow SDL brothers and sisters from the Paladin Technologies HQ, Nedalian division. We have been hard at work on our Parawinger prototype, and we are glad to say we are very close to calling it a success. With enough experience under our belt to begin other projects, we are extending our hand to all those who might be interested in aiding our efforts to continue to protect the rights and freedom of our citizens. After a meeting with my counterpart in Lamoni, Mr. Charles Newberry, we have drawn up plans for our next generation projects which will begin work on immediately. With an almost limitless budget assured to us by our respective governments, we are pleased to announce our next ventures with full confidence. We will be working on them simultaneously. They are, in no respective order: - Next Generation Attack Helicopter - Next Generation Pseudo Cruise Missile - Full range of our newest line of Assault Weapons The Lamoni division will share the details of our projects in due time. We are asking any SDL nation interested in sending their engineers/scientists to aide us, either in Lamoni or Nedalia, to please respond accordingly, and we will most certainly accomodate. Afterall, this technology is for all of us. Stay safe. Best Regards, Jarsun Akhtam Paladin Technologies Nedalia Division |

Benjamin Valens is interested in merging Jay Industries with Paladin Technologies. Jay Industries, as you know, hold a near-monopoly on Falcania's technology. We have a massive workforce, and an impressive capacity for R&D. Am I in? |

OOC: Falcania; YES as agreed previously over MSN. |

Jursan Akhtam, head of Paladin Technologies, Nedalia Division, adjusted his tie. This was it, the big day. After the merger of Jay Industries in Falcania with the Nedalian/Lamonian operation, the new project was paying dividends, big time. The scientists were putting in work night and day, and it finally appeared ready to go out onto the market. By his side sat Mr. Newburry, head of Paladin Technologies, Lamoni Division, who would explain the more technical aspects of the weapon after he was done. Full credit went also to the Falcanians, ofcourse, for designing the thing, and making it sure it was, in blunt words, "sexy." The cameras were rolling, the press was getting anxious. Akhtam looked over to Newburry, who gave him a slight nod. He took one more sip of the water infront of him, and began: "Thank you for coming out, ladies and gentlemen. As you are all aware, today marks the unveiling of the Zimorodok Pseudo-Missile, the latest project to roll out successfully from the doors of Paladin Technologies. It has been a resounding success in our latest tests, and we believe it is the perfect time to make the missile available to our comrades in the SDL, in order to continue to protect all our citizens in case harm was to come our way. Ladies and gentlemen, the Zimorodok!" Akhtam signalled for the large white screen behind to come on, and a huge picture of the Zimorodok appeared, to the applause of the press in the room. "This is the Zimorodok Pseudo-Missile...A torpedo in a cruise missile, in a ballistic rocket, designed to destroy surface ships like aircraft carriers or battleships. I will now hand it over to my partner, Mr. Newburry, to further explain the more technical side of the Zomorodok." |

"Thank you, Mr. Akhtam," Mr. Newburry said with a polite nod. He then pointed to the picture of the Zimorodok. ( http://img88.imageshack.us/my.php?image=zimorodokexp0mt.jpg ) "As you can see; and as Mr. Akhtam has said, the Zimorodok is a special torpedo inside a cruise missile, inside a ballistic rocket. The ballistic rocket is 10 meters tall, and 1,880 mm wide. The rocket contains the entire package, which ensures that the Zimorodok can be fired from any SSBN (nuclear missile carrying submarine). The full package receives targeting information that is fed to the launching submarine by an outside source such as a satellite or aircraft. When lauched, it flies to an altitude of 98 miles in order to radar scan the target. After the target has been positively identified, the full package then drops to an altitude of 23 miles off of the surface of the ocean, where explosive bolts will get rid of the outer stage of the Zimorodok weapon. Once the outer stage is free, the weapon becomes a cruise missile that will dive toward the ocean while directly above the target aircraft carrier or battleship; since most naval radars do not look directly above the ships that they are the 'eyes' for. The missile then drops to 10 miles above the ocean while heading away from the target in order to get to an optimal torpedo range of 5 km. The missile will then turn back and get a radar fix on the target. After the radar fix is complete, the missile (which has a shaft diameter of 553 mm, a finspan of 750 mm, a 75 mm finwidth, a 1,700 mm wingspan, and a 5,500 mm length) components will then be blown off by explosive bolts. The result of this is to allow a torpedo (50 knot speed, 3,000 mm length, 300 mm diameter, and 5 km range) to make a parachute assisted landing into the ocean waters. The torpedo uses active sonar to acquire the target, and then goes 150 m beneath it. After reaching said depth directly beneath the target, the torpedo then heads directly for the underside of the target, which activates the triple stage warhead. The first stage is designed to create a crater in the underside of the target, while the third stage acts as a propellant to get the second stage inside the crater left by the first stage. It is believed that this will allow the explosion of the second stage of the warhead to punch clean through the target's underside. Most modern aircraft carriers and battleships have their fuel and ammunition stores at or below the waterline in the belief that this will protect them. The Zimorodok is designed to reach these stores in order to create an even bigger explosion that will conceivably sink the target. For best results, at least two Zimorodok weapons should hit the target. The Zimorodok has a maximum range of 500 miles from the firing submarine, though work can be started on a version that can be fired from land if requested. Any questions? |

The projects were rolling out one after another now. Since Falcania had joined forces with the Nedalians and Lamonians, it seemed no project was big enough to contain the scientists from the 3 countries. The latest project: the F-4 Bird of Prey, the new all-purpose fighter jet to be introduced by Paladin Technologies, as well as the Nedalian Air Force and Falcanian Air Force. Jursan Akhtam, leader of the Nedalian Division, looked over the sheet one last time. It was well known that any Paladin Technologies project was available to all members of the SDL; this went without mention. He smiled as he finished up reading up. This was one hell of a plane; he was impressed. The NAF was to place an order of 82 of these babies, totalling $2.87 billion; the Falcanian Air Force, 120, for a total of $4.2 billion.

To: Paladin Technologies HQ From: Ministry of Defense, Research & Development Division, Allied States of Myrtannia In the interest of promoting greater co-operation between ourselves and fellow SDL nations, Myrtannia would like to join in the joint technology development firm begun by Lamoni and Nedalia. We feel that Myrtannian military scientists have much to offer Paladin Technologies, just as Paladin Technologies has much to offer Myrtannia. Firstly, the Myrtannian government would like to purchase 10 F-4 Bird of Prey fighters for viability testing. Depending on how well they perform in mock air-to-air combat with the mainstay fighter of the MAF (F-35 Joint Strike Fighter), and the economic viability of using this new fighter, more may be purchased at a later date. We would also appreciate a concept design image of an MAF F-4 (colors are dark blue with an orange circle as national marking on the fuselage and wings... think Japan national marking). If accepted, the Allied States would immediately send one Dr. Carleen Agamao along with a crack R&D team of scientists to assist with Paladin Technologies. Dr. Agamao is a former MAF fighter pilot, and has twenty years of experience in the field of military science and technology. Signed, Gen. Jamaal Siner Research & Development Division Ministry of Defense Allied States of Myrtannia |

To: Charles Newberry, Paladin Technologies, Lamoni Division From: Ministry of Defense, Research & Development Division, A.S.M. After consulting Vice President Jett, we feel that the ideal destination for our scientists would be the Lamonian division of Paladin Technologies. Both geopgraphically and in light of the strong bonds of friendship between Halosen and Nephi. Dr. Agamao and her staff will arrive in Lamoni soon to begin working with PT ASAP. Gen.

OOC: I don't suppose that you could map out where exactly this place is in the Dominion? |
Posted by: Nedalia Aug 15 2006, 06:54 AM |
The Nedalia Air Force will take a further 55 F-4 "Bird of Prey" fighter jets, at a total cost of approximately $1.925 billion. |
Posted by: Khazaron Aug 15 2006, 09:56 AM |
OOC: For the map, there should be one on my NS Wiki page. Just click on the link that says something like Most Current Map or something, the area I talked about should be in the northeastern part of the map, towards the top. I accidently said northwest in my last post, so pretend like I said northeast. |

To: Charles Newberry, Paladin Technologies, Lamoni Division From: Ministère de la défense nationale, Oliverry I received your letter. A bit late it might be, but my department is willing to help everyone in Paladin Technologies to progress in the arm technology. Oliverry, it's a known fact, has 1940s technologies as land technology and 1970s technologies as both naval and air. So, we need help in modernizing our army. So, the Government agreed to send as many scientists as possible to Paladin Technologies to keep this major industry rolling. As you might know it, the Army is really needing arms. So, we're gonna buy 200 F-4 "Bird of Prey" at a total cost of $7 billion. If you've got any idea for a spending plan for $1.98 trillion, just tell me about it cause we sincerely need all the help we need. Signed, Roland Therrien Ministre de la défense nationale Oliverry |

Jursan Akhtam, leader of the Paladin Technologies-Nedalian Division, gazed into the mirror, readjusting his tie. He had a smile of content on his face; in just a few minutes, we was going to announce another member to the growing Paladin Tech. family: The AH-5 Condor Helicopter. With the final designs coming from Falcania and the production details from Lamoni confirmed, production on the AH-5 was to begin in all four production facilities: Khazaron, Lamoni, Falcania, and Nedalia. The brunt of the production was to be done between Lamoni and Nedalia, as Oliverry's latest order of 200 F-4 "Bird of Prey" fighter jets was to be handled by the other two factories. Regardless, delivery was still on track to be earlier than once expected, thanks to the efficiency of the brand new, state of the art factories. Akhtam turned his head; his aide was mentioning it was time to meet the press. Still wearing a smile on his face, and smelling of confidence and success, Akhtam walked out onto the podium, not only to announce the introduction of the AH-5 Condor, but also to announce the Nedalian Air Force's order of 212 helicopters, at a cost of $4.876 billion. As of yet, Oliverry was also receiving the AH-5 Condor, although the amount was still undisclosed. THE AH-5 CONDOR HELICOPTER

The Imperial Republic would like to place an order for 200 Condor helicopters, pending it's release for sale outside the SDL of course. We would also like to request an additional 200 Birds of Prey to revamp our aging airforce. |

As part of a major increase in our airpower capabilities, the Imperial Republic would like to order an additional 300 Birds of Prey. |
Posted by: Falcania Jan 18 2008, 07:59 PM |
As an exercise in capitalism, Paladin Tech would like to manufacture and sell an additional 300 Birds of Prey. What a coincidence! |
Posted by: Lamoni Jan 18 2008, 11:40 PM |
OOC: Hey Falc, Nedalia and I were thinking of maybe taking PT to the Jolt forums. Our descriptions would have to get a lot more detailed, but we could pull it off if we wanted to. |
Posted by: Manhattan Prime Jan 25 2008, 05:46 AM |
Cheers Falc - as for the Jolt thing, it sounds like a good idea to me. I'd buy from you anyway! |
Posted by: Falcania Jan 25 2008, 05:04 PM |
It'd be bloody brilliant as long as I don't have to put any more energy into it. I don't go to the Jolt forums, and I'm the busiest person alive. |
