The mist was slowly receding in the sunlight as three craft approached the island, nearly silent and, seemingly, gliding, twenty feet above the water. As they approached the island, nearly two-hundred feet out, the craft descended to ten feet, the crests of waves hitting the hardened silver and black metal plating. Without a second wasted, fifteen heavily armed bipeds practically flew out of the leading craft, landing on the beach in complete silence, only the noises of the tropical forest and the crashing waves to accompany the humming of their shimmering blue blades.

The leaves rustled as a small man, compared to the newly arrived creatures at least, who stood at about two and a half meters off the ground, came tumbling out of the forest. Four small red laser dots immediately converged on one spot on his forehead, right between the eyes, coming from four weapons, seemingly like human firearms, but distinctly different in appearance. As two of the bipeds approached him, he fell on his knees and silently screamed, as if something was attacking him, but nothing was visible around him beyond the laser dots on his forehead. Finally, after almost a whole minute of apparently unbearable pain, he pointed towards a low mountain further into the forest and collapsed, blood running out of his nose, ears, mouth, and eyes. The two bipeds at the front of the formation signaled the rest to move forward and 45 more bipeds jumped out of the three craft hovering by the shore.

As each team moved into the forest, two moving diagonally to pre-designated points arranged via satellite, with the other team moving straight forward to the base of the mountain that the man had pointed to. All of the groups were completely silent as the moved forward and did not even use hand signals. All sentients they came across collapsed in front of them, or, if that proved unsuccessful, were quickly killed by the blue blades each warrior carried. The island was in for a new dawn.


(ooc: next installment later tonight, this is on one of the 3 islands a bit down and right of my territory.)

The first team of the bipeds fanned out and slowly crept through the brush next to a monolithic structure at the base of the mountain. The building was covered in overgrowth, plants overshadowing it almost entirely, with the shiny black stone barely visible beneath the foliage. None of the plants actually touched the structure, and there seemed to be a constant two meter barrier between the building and all the plants around it.

The two bipeds that had ‘interrogated’ the man at the beach got up and slowly approached the structure. They kept their blades on in case a threat was to appear, but otherwise seemed completely at ease. They stopped a few feet short of the base of the steep steps leading up to the top of the structure, which barely appeared above the tree-line. There they knelt, promptly bowing their heads to the ground. After a few moments, they got back up and ascended the several hundred foot high steps, slowly and surely.

At the top of the steps they knelt again, this time for almost a half an hour, and walked up to the two large sheer doors at the front of the additional structure at the apex of the original, larger, structure. They both placed one of their four fingered hands, two thumbs and two fingers all in all, on a round indent in each door. The doors emitted a low hum and designs all over them shimmered in a blood red color.

The doors opened revealing a large room, one end of which was bathed in a faint green light. The two creatures walked into the room, their yellow eyes glowing in the relative darkness. They turned off their blades completely and approached the object emitting the green light; a crystal. One of them picked up the crystal very gently, pulled out a small metal casing with electric bands coursing all over it, and, very carefully, placed the crystal inside the padded box, where it hovered about a centimeter from each surface.

The two bipeds exited the structure and slowly descended the steps, rejoining their comrades at the bottom of the structure. They started walking back towards the beach, but stopped halfway at a large clearing they had encountered earlier, at which they began setting up a small camp. The two other teams were also setting up camp elsewhere in the forest, and darkness descended soon afterwards. At the first team’s camp, a small communications device was set up and they conveyed the communiqué to the mainland concerning the status of the mission. By next day they expected at least two colonial parties to arrive along with a small guard of The Conclave’s Templar Corps. The island was an immensely important site for The Conclave to obtain, considering the immense and immeasurable success already achieved there. So far the Expeditionary Force had only explored one twentieth of the island, and it was incredibly likely that similar sites occupied at least five other locations on the island.

A low thud resonated all around the forest, traveling immense distances on the island, reaching a small party of “pirates” with their own landing party on the opposite side of the island from the biped’s camps. The thud came from a fairly large structure appearing through a shimmering blue circular opening on the ground. The bipeds had transported a gateway to the island to quickly and safely transport more materiel and personnel to their location. Now the real takeover of the island could be accomplished.

Within two hours, several dozen of the bipeds came out of the gateway, and exactly two and a half hours after it had been placed there, a being came out which made every other biped bow down and rest their head on the ground. He was in a beautifully designed, completely black armor, with two scabbards on his hips, each holding what seemed to be a mix of a scimitar and a reaper. Simple blood red robes flowed down from the gold plated opening for his neck, covering most of his armor when he stood still.

An aide quickly stood up and gave him a data-pad containing all the information assembled concerning the island. A few minutes after Fenix gave back the data-pad to the aid, a low hum was heard on the horizon and six small fighters blasted over the campsite. They had been ordered to patrol the island, and they had a small observer science vessel to conduct different scans of the island for energy signatures and possibly other beings on the island.

Soon enough, they found three energy signatures immediately above the forest at similar sites to the temple already found. They found two faint signatures several hundred feet under gigantic mounds in the middle of the forest. They also detected encampments of humanoid creatures all over the island, one fairly large with an estimated population of 3,000 persons, all the rest with only a few hundred to a thousand at maximum.

They also recorded a feed of the “pirate” ship at anchor about 40 meters from the island, which had set up a small camp a few dozen meters inland as well. It seemed the ship was trying to contact some of the small humanoid encampments for supplies or to loot them. The pirate’s strength was estimated at 1,500 total, on ship and on land. Fenix ordered a party of thirty Templar, one translator and six Heavy Strike Infantry to the biggest of the humanoid encampments, and ordered a group of 45 Templar, Tassadar, and two translators, along with the six aircraft in the sky to go investigate the pirates’ activities. A small Shadow Patrol would go in first and capture about five pirates to determine their purpose and how well armed they were. They all hoped this could be ended quickly, with little noise and end with a settlement of the bipeds in control of the island.

OOC: I plan to send my own forces into the island, THS. I'll RP it a little later.

Posted by: Nedalia Apr 17 2005, 05:45 PM
“What do you think, Commander?” asked President Bren.

“I think we should mobilize about 2,000 of our troops, 500 of them NGM, and have them shipped over to the islands just south of here, sir. They are important strategically and for the safety of our nation.” The Commander answered, very sure of his answer.

“Very well, then. What do we know about these islands?”

“Well, a recent expedition, albeit a very small one, shows small communities, humans, which went against our theory that some other species populated the island. In any case, we shall face little resistance against them, if any at all.”

“I see. Well, I leave in your hands, just don’t destroy the budget with this little escapade. They are, after all, just two small islands off of our coast.”

“Yes sir, understood. I shall get General Broward on it immediately, and give him the necessary funds.”

Commander Horacio excused himself, and stepped out of the office. He ordered his escorts to contact General Broward, a highly gifted explorer with a very militaristic way of going about things. The Commander knew that he was the man for the job, but there was thing bothering him, something he hadn’t told the President. A few days ago, Nedalian patrol boats spotted a very technologically advanced hovercraft landing on the island, believed to be from Holy Saints. It was this single incident which spurred the Commander to convince the President to send troops to the very same island. He did not know what Holy Saints was up to, but he was going to take no chance. What worried him was the technological superiority displayed by the country across the canal. Nevertheless, he was convinced he was doing the right thing.

General Broward was already in the office when the Commander arrived. Seated on the guest leather chair, Broward had no idea why the Commander contacted him with such urgency. All he heard was that he was to ship troops to the southern island, known only as Temple Island by Nedalia.

“General, its good to see you made it here so quick. There is no time to waste.”, the Commander commented.

“Yes sir, please continue.”

“I did not tell the President, General, I just told him that in the name of national security, we should at least have a military presence on Temple Island, but….but it seems the country of Holy Saints has made advancements onto the island.”

“Yes sir, I heard. I also hear they technology is far superior to anything we have ever encountered.”

“Indeed, which is why I am going to ask you to dispatch NGM fighters to the island as well.”

“Sir, you are aware that the NGM fighters take no prisoners, be it civilian or military.”

“I understand, all I can do is ask them is if a battle was to occur, to keep civilian deaths to a minimum. But I feel we have no other choice…we must take this measure. I have no idea of the intentions of Holy Saints.”

“Very well, sir. I shall dispatch troops, both Army and NGM, first thing in the morning. Will we have air support?”

“I want to keep this low key for now, so currently, no.”

“Understood, sir. I bid you a good day.”

“You, too General.”

The General got up and advanced towards to the door, nervous about the expedition he has been asked to lead. The Commander, still seated in his chair, was just as nervous, fearing only the worst….

A small blur moved across the backdrop of the forest, just a few feet from the flames of the campfire at which a group of 7 pirates were sitting. Several more blurs were moving in, completely silent. The pirates were completely oblivious of their predicament until the last second, and not a single one was able to utter a sound. Two lay on the ground headless and the other 5, two of them apparently officers, seeing as they were better dressed than the others, were escorted away from the area into the shadows.

About three hundred meters away Tassadar, along with a small squad of Templar, was waiting for the Shadow Patrol to come back with the prisoners. The five men were pushed into the group and sank to their knees as powerful mental waves overwhelmed them. Tassadar was thankful that they had already set up a beacon back at the base camp, otherwise these creatures wouldn’t have submitted at all, and rather would have panicked. As he quickly extracted the information he wanted from them, a low hum was heard from one of the THS aircraft patrolling the area as it zoomed overhead. It had spotted something on the horizon and the Conclave was expecting a full report from the six aircraft in less than 20 minutes.

Posted by: Nedalia Apr 18 2005, 10:14 AM
Broward has sent in, for now, 5 units, each containing 100 soldiers, around 20 of them NGM. There had been no encounters as of yet, considering they had just landed on the island, but NIA HQ in Kafra were keeping close tabs on the forces that had ascended to Temple Island. There was a certain level of nervousness that everyone could sense; a sense of fear, perhaps. This could very well represent the first military battle with an outside force Nedalia has ever had. Nevertheless, Broward knew it must be done.

"Anyword from Operation Temple Savior?", Broward asked?

"Yes sir, we're with them every step of the way, thanks to the wavelength frequency. But if you're asking if they've made any contact, with natives or otherwise...no, not yet sir."

"Alright then. I'm heading back upstairs to my office. Alert as soon as anything happens."

"Yes sir."

-----------------------------

Unit 2, as they were known, landed on the island first. They made it across the passage safely, although the leader of the NGM group within the unit sensed that they might have been spotted. Quickly, he ordered the unit to delve right into the forest, as deep as they could get, and he spread the word to the other units. General Optam, the NGM leader of Unit 2, quickly motioned his hands towards the forest and the unit began moving. The other units were going to land in a matter of minutes, so the area had to be secured by then. After advancing what seemed about 40 meters in the forsest, General Optam spoke up.

"Alright, men. The other units will be landing very shortly. We MUST secure the landing spot. Split up into 5 groups of 20 each and meet back at the landing spot in no more than 10 minutes. Move, move!"

All 5 groups disappeared into the forest. Hopefully, there wouldn't be any deadly encounters...

As soon as the report of biological signatures reached Tassadar, he requested four Shadow Patrols to go investigate and cause havoc as necessary. The six aircraft had returned to their base a few hundred kilometers away; observers, however, were still in the air and cloaked, so far disregarding the new arrivals and focusing completely on the pirates.

Screams were heard from one of the pirate’s encampments as they met a squad of Light Strike Infantry, who quickly cut down the pirates in a flurry of blue blades. Sporadic rifle fire was heard from that vicinity as several more squads of Light Strike Infantry attacked the pirates. Further into the pirate’s camps low gurgles were heard as men choked on their own blood after their throats were opened with a deft swing of a silent blade. Confusion hadn’t spread behind the ‘line’ yet, but the pirates had already lost about 70 men to the fighting.

Further across the island, the four Shadow Patrols were closing towards the biological signatures found earlier.

In the main village of the island, Fenix was setting up relations with the natives but was wearing thin of patience for their inferior awe at the bipeds that had arrived on their previously insignificant island. Engineers arriving from the mainland were scouring the area above the two underground sites, under heavy guard. Fenix was hoping that all of this could be ended quickly so the last crystals could be recovered without too many losses or fuss. So far his hopes had held true, the pirates were no match for the highly disciplined personnel facing them.

Posted by: Nedalia Apr 20 2005, 09:27 AM
The soldiers moved seamlessly through the jungle, blending in with the surrounding perfectly. Infantry was still landing on the beach, and the immediate area was secured. General Optam was expecting 500 men total, with no naval or air support, and so far just about 400 had arrived. There would be no rest tonight for the NGM, as each soldier who hit the beach was given instructions, most likely to join a group already in the forest. They would have to set up a small camp in this location when the rest of the NGM arrived, if only to be able to situate a landing zone for supplies. No one knew how long this operation was for, or the enemy they were facing, if there was one. For now, they were just supposed to secure the area.


“You got a lock on the target?”

“Yes…how many do you count?”

“13, and they are definitely not civilians.”

“What do they look like?”

“Pirates. Kill the 6 pirates on the left, we’ll keep the other 7 alive.”

Bazooka mounted on his shoulder, a he fired the S-to-S missile, aimed directly in the pirate get-together. Blown to pieces as the missile hit, the soldiers moved in and captured the rest with no resistance.

“Take them back to camp, and warn the General that there most likely is more in the area.”


Back at the landing location, another soldier approached the General.

“Sir, there seems to be more of those strange beings arriving on the island. They’re obviously here for a reason, but it seems that they are seeking something.”

“Hmmm…gets more confusing by the second,” answered General Optam.

The last of the infantry were arriving, and all of the NGM were on land. It was time to move in and start securing the island. About 1 hour and 34 minutes had elapsed, and the groups had begun returning. As soon as everyone had returned, General Optam was going to order a push to the island’s main village.

Commander Horacio wanted to waste no time. While the units on Temple Island were capturing, questioning, and securing, he had already organized a 2,500 strong army, ready to be shipped out to the smaller island to the east, known ironically as East Island. The Commander figured if they were coming for Temple Island, then he might as well cover all tracks and not even give them a chance to advance onto East Island.

From what was known, there was about 6,000 indigenous natives on the island, although very little resistance was expected due to the fact they had no arms. The NGF (Nedalian Ground Forces) weren't going to oppress anyone, or even kill anyone unneccessarily. The Commander was simply thinking forward, and setting up a solid military presence of the island...He had to fight the Holy Saints somehow, otherwise they would just run over the area.

"Commander, 'Operation Go East' is ready to be implented, its just waiting on your word of approval."

"Sergeant, 'Operation Go East' is a go."

"Yes sir, once I inform the men in charge of the operation on the ground, we expect to be landing on East Island in no more than an 1 hour and 20 minutes, sir."

"Good Job, Sergeant."

The Commander looked out his window into the horizon. The sun was already showing signs that it was going to come up. The night had been a long one, one could only guess what the day was going to hold...

As soon as the reports came back about Nedalia’s incursion on to the island, Fenix requested an additional fifteen hundred, combat-ready, High Caste Warriors, of all different classes. These forces were set up and ready by morning. Space imagery had shown head signatures of ships heading toward the eastern island, and a small group of sixty Conclave Special Guard Infantry, Templars, and Heavy Strike Infantry had been dispatched with promise of air cover from the First Command of the Conclave.

On the top of the small mountain, with a dominant view of the island, sat three groups of Precision Infantry, known to humans as snipers, preparing their scopes and weapons to begin a wave of terror on the Nedalia troops known to be heading for the central village, from which Fenix had pulled out of once the Shadow Patrol reports came in. These Precision Infantry were known to never miss a target. After about twenty minutes of their reign of terror, a general assault on both the pirates and the Nedalia troops reported on the island would begin.

Not a moment of time was wasted, and once the first of the enemy troops entered the village, his head was blown off with a single bullet going thirteen hundred kilometers per hour. Soon full out war on the island would begin, Fenix was not in a mood for joking around when he had to secure the crystals. The task force sent to the eastern island was due to arrive there shortly before the human forces. There they were tasked with setting up a warp gate and receiving re-enforcements to smash the Nedalians.

As soon as the soldiers entering the village saw what happened to the Phillip’s head, they immediately retreated back into the jungle. Zeroing on where the shot came from, General Saunders, in charge of the unit being led into the village, split the group into two. Unit One was to wait in the area until further instructions, and Unit Two was to head up towards the low mountain a short distance from the site of the very first battle in Nedalia’s existence in the outside world. Saunders contacted General Optam, who was setting up base on the northern part of the island.

“Optam, we have heat. It appears snipers from the mountains…they know we’re here and they are ready to take us out.”

“Son of a bitch…Did you already sent troops to the mountain to destroy them?”

“Yes, and I’ve held off entering the village. You’ve got to contact Drown and tell him to be ready for a battle as soon as they land on East Island.”

“I’ll get on it right away. I’m going to contact HQ in Nedalia. We need more men.”

--------------------------------------------------------

Back in Kafra, President Bren was called up by the Minister of Defense, Gerard Louvre.

“Mr. President, we are on the verge on full-scale war with Holy Saints. One of our soldiers has gotten his head blown off by THS snipers, and the NGM will be taking no chances. Operation Temple Savior and Operation Go East have both become invasion of the islands.”

“This is not the way we want to go. This is not in our best interest. I must try a diplomatic approach. Leave me be.”

“Yes sir,” Minister Louvre said, exiting the Presidential Office.

President Bren thought for a little while, then proceeded to begin typing the telegram he would be sending to THS:

Today marks the first Nedalian soldier to have died from the bullet of another nation. I implore to reconsider your actions before it is too late, there must be a diplomatic solution to this. As of yet, we have not had any contact, and I suggest we sit down and discuss what is that is going on in these islands south of Nedalia. I urge you to consider my position, because we WILL fight back and we WILL move mercilessly and fearlessly against your positions on Temple Island and East Island. Reconsider your actions, and stop this hostility.

---------------------------------------------------------

The troops began landing on East Island, ready for combat. Landing on the western coast of the island, the Nedalian troops moved quickly to secure the area. General Drown had ordered the troops to shoot at will and annihilate any THS forces they might find. They had already spotted the landing site of the THS forces, and for now, it did not appear they had too large a force. The soldiers stood by for the General’s orders.

“Optam, this is Drown. We’ve surrounded the THS landing area, are we confirmed to move in?”

“Yes General. Move in, and leave no prisoners. Take no chances.”

“Done.”

With one movement of his hand, the soldiers began firing upon the THS landing zone. The Nedalian forces began to move in on all sides…



OOC: I’ll leave it to you to decide how many losses I inflicted, best way to keep it reasonable I think.

The Latin Confederacy observes the latest developments in this area with constant worry. In case you with any talks on the issue, Latao offers its diplomatic services to arbitrate between the parties.
Think of the lives of your fellow people.

Nadia Pumia, Latao Foreign Minister

Posted by: Holy Saints Apr 22 2005, 01:09 AM
The Conclave deems Nedalia's actions most reckless, as our takeover of the islands is an inevitability. What moved you to interfere with our matters still baffles us, and our forces are far superior to what you can bring to the ground. Surrender before you lose too many lives.

(ooc: just to site: my forces have some futuristic technology(basic shielding, lets say 2-3 bullets to take it out) due to the fact my race is alien and landed on the planet with previous knowledge of higher technology, hence the hovercrafts, energy blades, energy bolts, etc.)

IC:

300 Heavy Strike Infantry quickly and silently dashed through the forest once reconaisence reported the enemy moving back. Observers in the air noted the larger concentrations of enemy combatants and sent the coordinates to the squad leaders. Soon the bipeds began unsheathing their blades and slowed in approach as they neared the enemy. At last they blades hummed to life and the Infantry ran at the enemy. Full out hand to hand combat had begun, but a number of enemies had escaped and was moving around to attempt to reach the snipers and take out the vantage point. The snipers weren't alone, dozens of Light Strike Infantry were dug in around them.

On the eastern island, a fight had begun just as the warp gate was set up, and before a rocket burst into its side a full number of 142 various infantry had made it through. A wing of assault aircraft was called in to aid in defending the THS infantry in the area so they could set up another gate. Until then, about 45 minutes down the timeline, the THS forces were effectively on their own, and the first reaction had ended with 26 HSI dead, 12 wounded, 2 Templars dead and 6 wounded, and with no losses to the Conclave Special Guard which, because it had set up the landing zone, had dug in. Now just over 130 infantry were fighting for their lives.

Energy bolts and bullets zoomed across the landscape, and, unawares to the Nedalian troops, two small groups of the Conclave Special Guard infantry had been sent, cloaked, behind the enemy lines to try and damage the Nedalian Command on the island. Their cloaking devices would run out of energy within thirty minutes, however, so they did not have time on their hands. The first group peeled off and moved towards the front to create some havoc among the enemy troops before their cloaks died on them. The other team moved to the reported landing zone of the enemy to look for their commanders.

Back on the main island several hundred more re-enforcements poured through the expanded warp gate and another landing craft was sent to the eastern island with one hundred additional infantry aboard along with one heavy armored piece to break a hole in the enemy line before the air support came in.

Posted by: Nedalia Apr 22 2005, 09:42 AM
OOC: I armor all infantry with Hing, a lightweight yet very hard to penetrate mineral found in Mt. Hingdome.

ON TEMPLE ISLAND:

Battling for their lives, Saunders called on the unit to begin its retreat back to the main camp on the northern part of the island. The THS were getting the best of this battle, and Saunders had no choice.

“Optam, the enemy is bringing unbearable heat. We’re coming home. And from the looks of it, I would call homebase and start bringing in reinforcements. These scum mean business.”

“I’m on it. What about the unit you sent to the mountain to wipe out the snipers?”

“Last contact with them was just before this attack. I warned to proceed with caution, and retreat if they found too many to handle.”

While Saunders was bringing his men back, Optam contacted Nedalia and asked for an additional 1,000 troops, this time all NGM. Serious enemies required serious soldiers.

Nedalia losses from village battle: 22 soldiers


ON EAST ISLAND:

The battle ensued, and the tactic had worked. The Nedalian forces were just too many in numbers, and they kept landing. There was about 1,850 on the ground with almost 700 more on the way, and from what Optam told Drown, he had asked homebase for an additional 1,000 NGM just for East Island (he would be asking for 1,000 for Temple Island as well). With those NGM troops was going to come anti-aircraft artillery, incase THS felt threatened enough to send in air support. For now, this was strictly a land-based affair.

What the Nedalians were not expecting was the sudden appearance of THS infantry from seemingly thin air. Word got back to the base quickly that the THS soldiers had some kind of invisibility shield on them. The Nedalian troops had to guess where the invisible soldiers were, shooting wildly in all directions. The fluid that sprayed after a hit, however, gave the Nedalian troops some idea.

“You’ve got to be joking me,” Drown said. “Stop all troops from advancing to the attack site and stay here and defend the base. We can’t have the invisible bastards running around causing havoc here.”

At the THS landing site, Nedalian forces were taking losses but the sheer number of troops had inflicted heavy losses on the THS as well. They had cornered the enemy, who was defended some sort of dimensional gate. One by one, the enemy was falling…

Nedalian losses so far in the East Island battle: 165 soldier, 3 of them NGM


IN KAFRA:

President Bren just received word from the Latin Confederacy and immediately replied:

Dear Nadia Pumia,

We are, indeed, most disappointed that it has come to this. I personally sent out a message to THS in hopes of finding a diplomatic solution, only to be told that if I don’t retreat I will have my forces destroyed. I have no knowledge as to why THS decided to try and claim the islands, and in the sake of national defense, I sent troops over there as well. In all honesty, considering the brutality of these people, it has seemed like the proper choice. However, if you can find a diplomatic solution with THS, I will be more than willing to discuss it with you and them, and even meet. The ball is in their court.



OOC: Again, I will leave the losses up to you in hopes of keeping in reasonable.

Posted by: Holy Saints Apr 22 2005, 11:06 AM
The losses to the eastern island task force were mounting, but just as the battle seemed lost, 45 Heavy Assault Aircraft appeared in the sky. They began strafing the Nedalian forces on the ground and began bombing their landing zone with various plasma-based bombs, incinirating much in their path. An additional four hundred infantry had been called on to get to the island.
losses: 67 dead, 24 wounded and fighting.

(sorta haphazard, in school)

Appreciated war-parties: I have bought in the issue into our discussions in the National Executive Committee.

The gremium agreed to offer what's in our power to stop the bloodsheet on these islands. Let me state, that we wonder how far both parties go for such two islands.

We are willing to organize bilerate or multi-lateral talks between the parties, if they agree to stop any violent actions for the time of the talks.

Posted by: Nedalia Apr 22 2005, 11:28 AM
"Where the hell are those Anti-Aircraft Artillery Guns!" screamed General Drown as he witnessed soldier after soldier crumble and die underneath the mammoth explosions.

"They just arrived, they are being loaded as we speak. They should be ready to go at any instance!", the soldier shouted back.

Nedalian forces were taking cover wherever they could, with the THS planes effectively pushing the troops back, closer to the landing site. The AA artillery were loaded up, and had already began sending a barrage of AA missiles into the sky. The THS forces were on the verge of losing the battle before the planes appeared, but with the AA artillery now intact, plus the additional 1,000 NGM soldiers having arrived, the troops began to push, slowly and cautiously, back to the THS landing zone.

The THS Heavy Assault Aircraft now had the Nedalian Anti-Aircraft One Artillery to contend with; no easy matchup. If they did not start retreating the planes, surely they would start dropping from the sky. The officers in command had already witnessed the THS armor at work, and despite AA missiles having direct hits at the aircraft, they were still flying. They couldnt resist every missile thrown at them, however, and before long, they would start falling.

(Nedalian deaths on East Island now eclipse 500, around 3,000 men remain)

Posted by: Latao Apr 22 2005, 11:31 AM
We urge both parties to start talks before even more lifes are lost. The current situation would allow diplomatic actions, since both parties seem to control one island, but we must hurry - time is against us.

Posted by: Nedalia Apr 22 2005, 11:32 AM
Ms. Nadia Pumia,

As stated before by President Bren, you needn't try to convince us to hold talks; we are already willing. It is the THS with whom you need to speak to. We are on the islands simply in a stated need for defense; we cannot, and WILL not, allow those brutal beings to surround us and hold us hostage on our southern and western borders and shores. We are willing to agree to a cease-fire in order to begin talks. We await your prompt reply.

Dewars Strand
Minister of Foreign Affairs

Posted by: Latao Apr 22 2005, 11:37 AM
As the nation of Nedalia shown the will to stop the bloody killings and seriously wishes to talk, we invite both parties, including the Holy Saints to bilateral talks on neutral ground in the city of Luciaria in Latao, where both parties may explain their states.

During the talks, the war zone area is being observed by Latin forces, as we want to prevent further violent actions closely to our own territory.

Posted by: Nedalia Apr 22 2005, 12:39 PM
We ask Latao to only name the date and location, and we shall attend. We also have no problem with a Lataon peacekeeping force during an agreed cease-fire. I do hope that THS can think a bit more maturely than assuming this is an act of fear. We are taking these actions simply because we do not like seeing living beings die through unneccessary bloodshed.

Very well then. Latin ships and jets are on their way to establish a demarcation zone between the islands.

Please note, that our troops are armed for self-protection.

ON EAST ISLAND:

After an initial heavy retreat thanks to the Heavy Air Assault Aircrafts which attacked Nedalian troops, the soldiers began marching forward again, thanks to the AA Artillery. General Drown had received word that Latin forces were on their way, but till then, Drown would take no chances. He ordered the push to continue, the final target being the dimensional gate the Holy Saints forces had set up. Once that was eradicated, it would effectively destroy Holy Saints chances of occupying the island. What Drown was worried about was the fact his men were falling in large numbers. The aircrafts did a big number of the Nedalian troops, but the NGM kept all the units under control and turned the thing around.

Drown looked up at the rising soon. It was now about 10 AM, and the battle had raged on for almost 5 hours, since the break of dawn. Gunfire broke out on Temple Island about an hour or so earlier than the East Island battle, but, from what General Optam had told him, it was a much less intensive affair than what was going on here. Drown had also called in for an additional 1,000 troops which were due on the island in less than 30 minutes, bringing the pre-battle total to 4,500. After this one though, Drown would be lucky to see 3,700 still standing.

Nedalian deaths on East Island: 712….3788 troops fighting, including reinforcements.


ON TEMPLE ISLAND:

After word had come from Nedalia HQ in Kafra that Latin forces were coming in as peacekeepers, Optam called back all advancements, including the group that was sent to the mountain to destroy the snipers. Instead, he barricaded the road leading out of the central village and to the northern coast, stationing troops there. He had called all other groups back to the areas around the base set up in the north, not wanting a repeat of the East Island battle simply because he did not possess that many AA Artillery guns.

Unbeknownst to most, however, was his dispatch of NGM fighters in the jungles of the island. It was what they were skilled at, guerilla warfare, and it was going to be put to use. They were to remain hidden, and, unless the enemy advanced past the comfort zones of the NGM fighters, they were not to kill, simply observe and report. This way, he would know what was going on in the island without endangering the soldiers. He calmly waited on the arrival of the Latin troops, cautiously optimistic…

Nedalian deaths on Temple Island: 12

Posted by: Holy Saints Apr 22 2005, 05:11 PM
Through the portal on the main island, a force of 10,000 bipeds was ordered, and would trickle in over three hours. Fourteen drop-ships would be sent to about 5,000 feet above the eastern island and jettison 1,200 drop pods into the island from which 2,400 highly trained Special Offensive Operations Infantry would begin their assault. These units were ordered to exterminate with all necessary brutality and leave nothing but THS forces alive, the drop was expected within 40 minutes.

Another 2 wings of Heavy Assault Aircraft were called in to plasma bomb every sign of humanoid biological life on the main island. The 10,000 infantry would then comb the island for remnants. The wing of aircraft above the eastern island was down to 32 fighter bombers, but they had begun systematically destroying the enemy SAM sites. Fenix wanted nothing but the extermination of all possible opposition, and the Conclave had given him full authority to do so. Not a single humanoid would be left alive by nightfall, this was a certainty.

*Psyonic Broadcast to Nedalia Personnel and Latao Personnel in their respective diplomatic Corps*
Move all forces belonging to Nedalia and Latao before they are destroyed. You are merely objects in the way of our re-claiming, and if you do not capitulate within the hour your forces will be exterminated if on the islands or in the airspace directly around the islands by nightfall. This is your last warning.
We are still baffled by both of your nations' meddling. We see no point to your waste of valuable resources on something that does not concern you in the least.

Posted by: Nedalia Apr 22 2005, 06:39 PM
Message directed to THS, and also presented to Latao:

To the Personnel of THS,

You perhaps seem to forget that we are closer to the islands than you are. You also seem to be amusing yourselves thinking what we have on the ground on the two islands represents the force of our military. You are sadly mistaken.

We ask you, what is it that you are reclaiming? The islands never belonged to you, and nor did they belong to us. If you would so kindly look at a map infront of you of AO, you would see that if presented with the two islands, THS would effectively block the southern coastline of Nedalia, thus leaving us with no direct access to the ocean. This we cannot, and will not, ever accept. Trade would have to go through THS before it reached our southern shores, effectively putting us at your mercy were you to occupy the islands. So as you can see, it does affect us greatly, and not in the least as you so claim. Considering your brutalistic measures you seem to want to take, Nedalia as a whole might as well crumble and die if we allow your nation to do as it pleases.

From the tone of your message, your nation seems rather threatened, and ready to assault the island with all force neccessary. So in order to protect Nedalia, Commander Horacio, with the permission of the President, has already given the order for a fullscale invasion of both islands by Nedalian forces. The Strundanne AFB is on call, waiting for one order to fly our bombers into the afternoon sky and begin bombing of your positions on the islands.

Having said all that, we continue to stress that we would rather not be involved in a fullscale battle. The lives that have been shed on both sides should have sent a message to you. The Latin forces have come, on their own free will, to present a solution to this problem. We ask you not to involve them as they have done nothing but attempt to remedy this situation. We will not stand and watch as you attempt to kill forces who have come in order to help us end this disastrous outcome, for both of your nations.

Reconsider your actions. Agree to the ceasefire so we can sit down and talk. In the end, it may be your own lives that you save.

Dewars Strand
Minister of Foreign Affairs

[i]Just accept the fact that it is our reclamation, and seeing as no tarrifs are in place in THS territory meaning your nation would not be restricted in trade. We only wish to procure the islands, no more. We are sure that if Nedalia pulled away their forces from the islands we could work out a reasonable agreement on travel in the sector. As long as your troops are in the vicinity of our artifacts we see you as a threat, one that cannot be allowed to exist on these sacred islands. We must remind you that it was your offensive action of invading the islands which made conflict at all apparent. We have only reacted as deemed necesarry to protect our artifacts.

If Nedalia continues offensive actions, the current active forces of THS would be mobilised to quarter strength. This, compared to your full mobilisation capabilities, is an incredebly disproportionate number. Leave us alone and let us take these islands and your nation will not be crushed under a bloodied fist. Maybe once your nuisance of a force has been pulled out we can talk, but until then our forces on the islands are at war. If you continue aggression, you will only end up with dead bodies, you cannot stand up to our nation's military power. We hope you understand this all depends on Nedalian forces being retreated, otherwise no talks may be initiated.

Posted by: Nedalia Apr 22 2005, 07:46 PM
*Respond to Message*

Once again, it is not a matter of convincing us that you will allow travel to our southern shore, and that you will not be a threat to us. You have already proven otherwise. Since you talk tough, we will simply reply with tough actions. You can take your huff and puff tactics away, they don't work with us. We, as a nation, have overcome alot more than what you present. Do not be fooled.

May we remind you that you fired the first shot, and may we also remind you that you invaded the islands with no stated reason. Ofcourse we sent troops to the island, had you annexed the islands, you would have completely sealed off our southern shore, an unacceptable action taken by your forces. Any country would have done the same. We have repeatedly called for a cease-fire, a cease-fire you continuely ignore. Do not try to place the blame on us.

We have no idea of these crystals you talk about, nor do we have any interest in them. Since you pride yourselves in your advanced technology, then claim your crystals and transport them to Holy Saints mainland. I'm sure you can manage that, can't you? Call the ceasefire, and our soldiers will not fire a single shot as you search for your crystals. But, again I stress, you will not be allowed to stay on the islands permenantly. Claim your artifacts, we have no problem or interest in that little endevour.

Again, we attempt to reach to you and again we implore you to call the ceasefire. We have no problem, once the ceasefire is called, for you to go on your little exploration mission for your beloved crystals. However, make no mistake, the losses you will incur if you do not will make you think twice.

On the “island talks”-meeting, the Latin delegation puts its cards on the table:

Before we begin, please sign these contracts, that nothing discussed in here will leave this room.

Gentlemen, thank you for coming.
Since THS is not the only one capable of using clear words, I’ll make it clear and quick as well:
We expect, that The Holy Saints cede the island in the middle of the sea-channel between Latao and THS to the Confederacy of Latao. Otherwise, we will enter the war at the side of Nedalia, which we all know would bring The Holy Saints into serious trouble. In the other case, Latao recognizes the islands as territory of THS.
Not to comply with our will would be a bad idea for said reason, as we have the power of the FLMS and the Empire of Nova Roma behind our back.

As you see, the cards are newly shuffled.

Thank you, that's all.

Upon hearing the Latin 'proposal', Dewars Strand simply laughed, stood up, and excused himself. On the plane back to Kafra, Minister Strand contacted President Bren.

"Yes President, I attended the meeting, but I might as well not have wasted my time. The Latins basically threatened the Holy Saints, telling them that if they dont concede the large island between the two countries, then they will side with us in this war. And if they do come to an agreement, they will recognize the islands as THS land."

"What are the Latins doing? So much for their help then."

"Indeed, sir. Looks like this battle we will be fighting alone."

"The way its always been, my good friend Dewars. Its a shame that freedom means nothing to anyone anymore. If we concede those islands, then we shall be forever live under the mercy of the Holy Saints..."

"Sir, you're doing the right thing. We have been forced into this war, and we must fight...unfortunately, there is no way around it. The Latin forces should already be deploying forces on the islands."

"I gave the word to Commander Horacio to tell the military not to attack Latin personnel or forces, for now. They haven't made any wrong moves as of yet, and who knows, their intentions might prove right afterall."

"The benefit of a doubt, sir?"

"Exactly. For now, our reinforcement on both islands has reached 7,000 and 3,000 more is planned for each. All equiped with AA Artillery, and before long, we'll start sending tanks. But we are still holding our positions on Temple Island on the northern coast all the way up to the central village. On East Island, the battle ensues, the THS aircraft did a number on our SAM sites, but we recently sent more...so we should be good on that front. Troops keep landing, and we're continually pushing towards dimensional gate."

"Alright, sir. I will be arriving in Kafra shortly. Goodbye, and God Bless."

"God bless, my good friend."

After the guests left, the two initiators Nadia Pumia and Roger Omsec had a little chat

NP: Do you think they buy that ?
RO: Who cares ? We'll be the winner in both cases.

NP: How in detail ?
RO: We get the sea-channel-island in THS agrees. If they don't it might lead to the same situation - they can't fight two countries at the same time, especially not one protected by a strong alliance. And as insurance, we have Nova Roma and Starblaydia.

NP: How should I deal with Nedalia ?
RO: For now, the ball is up to the Holy Saints. We should however keep contact with them, we will not take any military actions against their troops; I think it's actually an option to support them.

NP: I see, our next move is not published before we get an answer from THS.

RO: Right. What are you going to do on this warm evening ? Come have a drink with me at the Luciaria beach bar...

Gerard Louvre, Nedalian Minister of Defense, was in the central village of Temple Island, awaiting the final paper work from the Holy Saints. In the previous 3 hours, right after the meeting with the Latins, Nedalian officials again contacted THS forces in an attempt to end the pointless bloodshed, taking it upon themselves again due to the fact that nothing was accomplished at the meeting. Upon heavy debate, an agreement was reached between the two warring nations.

Two days after the beginning of battle, and a total of 793 Nedalian infantry deaths (and the destruction of 6 AA Artillery), a cease-fire was agreed. The agreement stated that HS were to have the islands, but in return, they shall not intrude in Nedalia’s colonization of Land No.20, which was happening as we speak. Since THS were to possess the two islands, if Nedalia did not colonize the land, then they would have no free southern coastline, which would ruin the economy of the country. The 20,000 strong troops, the tanks, and the AA Artillery, upon the finalization of the paperwork, were to begin withdrawing and in an hour or so, begin landing on the Land No.20, which Nedalia had dubbed Sallam, which translates into peace.

Finally, the Holy Saints officials showed up with what appeared to be their half of the internationally recognized and protected agreement….

The HS' government requests the withdrawal of any Latin forces in the area, immediately. If Latin forces do not retreat in a timely manner, there will be consequences.

Fenix awaited the full retreat of all international forces before he would begin the extermination of the local humanoid inhabitants. The pirates had all either been killed or had retreated onto their ship, which was being hunted by one of the air wings deployed on the islands.

Posted by: Latao Apr 23 2005, 05:48 PM
We withdraw our forces to the island between Latao and THS where the new situation can be discussed.

Posted by: Nedalia Apr 23 2005, 06:57 PM
Two days after the beginning of the first international Nedalian war, which has been called ‘The Battle of the Southern Islands’, a cease-fire had been agreed with Holy Saints forces. The Nedalian troops, personnel, and warfare machines were being relocated to what is now known as Sallam. Generals Optam and Drown were spearheading the mission, already setting up base not too far away from the official Nedalian border. Two southern towns had already been contacted with, and meetings with them and the Generals were to take place very soon. The word from President Bren was to show them that the Nedalians and these natives were one; force would hopefully not be necessary in integrated the natives into Nedalia…

Screw you E.T - you don't have the power to do that, especially not at this time, when your troops are weakened. I tell you what the deal ist. The channel-island is to be separated. The north is for control by te Holy Saints and the south goes to the Confederacy of Latao.

Posted by: Holy Saints Apr 24 2005, 12:44 PM
If you wish for your destruction, so be it.

THS is fully mobilizing its forces, 156,800,000 troops(ooc: 3.35% of the population, just so ya know I'm not a god-modding bastard.) that are well armed and trained. These troops will be fully mobilised in 10 days, and they will be ready to invade your homeland in another 6 if you do not concede.

Our troops are prepared to destroy your nation and any other nation that wishes to interfere. Do not be foolish and waste away what could potentially be a worthy nation in the future. We understand that you are desperate to get something out of this debacle, but we are afraied that we simply cannot allow that. Now, concede or be destroyed, it is all in your hands.

The way, THS self-confidently acts amuses us. The day will come for the ones praying for the downfall of the Latin race, when there is no laughing matter for them anymore.

The situation between THS and Nedalia offered amazing potential. For reasons only god know, they decided overhasty to surrender. They wasted best chances to conquer your selfish nation and to take over these islands.

Our strategic interests are gone with the wind, as the situation changed basically with this fatal step taken by the Nedalian leaders.
The Confederacy of Latao shall therefore withdraw its forces for this time.

Be stated, that this move is taking place from a position of strength, not of weakness, as there is no reason for us to stay currently on said island.

The nation of THS should not imagine that this game is over – the curtain isn’t dropped yet. The question of the Latin channel must be answered.

Latao will be the world – Latao will be the people – We are the people!

Latao doesn't release sensitive information of this kind, that's why these assets arent exposed on our state's financial reports

Heil!

Don’t think Latao is weak. Unlike Nedalia, we won’t live our life in servileness. As for what u call “cowardice” in your overbearing way is what we pragmatically name “logic”.

Posted by: Nedalia Apr 24 2005, 02:38 PM
To the leaders of Latao,

The fact that you view our withdrawal from the islands as a sign of surrender shows your general lack of understanding of both the situation that was at hand and the reason for the battle, and points only to skewd sense of logic. Let us clear it up for you:

The Holy Saints invasion of the island would have sealed off the Nedalian southern coast, intentionally or not. This was a procedure we could not allow. While their invasion of the islands was over the re-claimation of some crystals of sorts, the reason for our advancement was in the interest of our southern coast. If the islands had become Holy Saints property with the current borders in place, then all incoming traffic to our southern shores would have to go through Holy Saints water, something we could not allow. Ofcourse, we did not fire the first shot, Holy Saints did. We continually asked for diplomatic talks, but that fell on deaf ears. May we also remind you that the one major battle happened on East Island, where THS had to call in heavy air support because they were on the verge of losing it. Even with the air support, they were unable to push the Nedalian back by much, thanks to our SAMs.

Your presence as peacekeepers were supposed to be a helpful presence on the islands; instead, you only displayed unneccessary imperialistic actions. Instead od mediating talks and stationing peacekeeping forces, you instead threatened THS, using Nedalia as pawns. We honestly don't know what you were expecting, for us to cry and sulk and accept that if THS gave you land on their island they could have the two islands? As you witnessed, that is not the case. As soon as your intentions were known, we took matters into our own hands and effectively sealed off the islands from you and shut your little imperialistic plan down. Now, we are rapidly moving our troops through the southern coast of Sallam (Land No. 20), thus assuring ourselves that our southern coast will still be as open as ever even if the two islands are THS property. So as you can see, the 'potential' between our nations is gone because of your mistakes, not ours. Do not cry about it, and do not sulk like babies because you thought you could outsmart your way to some extra land. Consider yourselves outsmarted.

Having said that, we do not have any hard feelings towards your nation. THS is another story all together, due to their brutal actions, but we're big enough to move on this little incident. We implore you to do the same.

We are sad, that the things destiny has brought us caused you to think negative of the Latin people. We opened south Oceania for you, but you did not recognize the historic chance for our folks.
You pointed out all key-facts yourself. You were so close to the end victory. Once, the channel-island would have been ceded to Latao, THS were weakened and the way would be free for our united forces to take the other two islands and then march straight over to THS. With THS and the channel-island in our hand, we’ve has all strategic basements to take the Eagles Nest, Nojika, Xile and Nova Mecia. The power to conquer entire south Oceania was at our fingertips, but destiny was against us.

And to address THS, where they think cowardice is a sign of strength, I say they are wrong, as the death is a badge of honor for Latin people.
THS has shown its aggressive potential and it’s too close to let this grow unobserved. We watch every move you take carefully, <INSERT PRESIDENT NAME HERE>.

There was a real chance my plan worked.
I guess some carpet-bombing of THS-cities and destructing their war manufacturing areas would have quickly brought the change. It's a question of effiecency, we need to operate fast.
First, we mount rocket launchers onto the channel-island to 'disable' your anti-air missiles then we follow up with an air strike. Officiers are politicians are shot immedietelly, civilists deported to work in Latin war factories.
Latao has a population of 1.5 billion, it would be easy to set up an occupatiance army.
Latao would have opened a door to hell in your capital city - it doesn't make a difference if red or green blood spurted.

OOC: Sounds like you had quite the plan there, considering taking over 2 nations whose total population is 4 times your own is always just that easy. So naive...

I doubt every ass is a regular member of your army. There might be some 'partisanen' as well ;-)

OOC: And I'm sure it is the same in your nation.

Latao has compulsory military service and they admire their leaders very much :-)

OOC: Considering you love NSEconomy so much, Latao:

billions of latinums are being blown on orbital weapons development


OK now ?
We'll blow THS back to Mars :-)

An old Military Marching Song found in the archives proves, THS wasn't always the Strong:

Oh let’s sing the Latao-song on the channel-island
When the Confederacy with its tanks drives to the Holy Saints
Oh their destiny will be in our hands

When the holy fleet goes down
We shall put them all on the wall
We will sing the Latao-song all the way
Oh the Holy Saints have passed away!

They cried in one week they will be in Latao
They vanished when we bombed their cities KO
They said the act isn’t done – as war prisoners they came home!

i think you've over dosed on those pills of yours Latao....

Nadia Pumia: Hm...I think the Nedalians are somehow pissed off on us...
Roger Omsec: That's the price of being a supa-powa. But it may not hurt when you do a trip to Kafra wearing some nice skirt to sort things out :-)

The Free Lands of Nedalia, while not entirely trusting of the Latao government, would encourage such a visit to happen, hopefully beginning the process of mending the strained relationship between the two nations.

The NEC-Planning meeting shows a full calendar…
Nadia Pumia: Hmh…the “Nedalia-Thing” is still on the table…
Roger Omsec: Uh…well, I hope they’re not blamed, but Nedalia doesn’t have priority now, we need the Foreign Ministry for the upcoming FLMS-talks, if it must be done now, Nadia shall send one of her employees there…
Pinos is busy talking to representatives from Starblaydia and Lamoni, which might come up to the final leaders when the detail-negotiations are done and I have several domestic meetings; my head still hurts from the boozing with Tyrannvs of Nova Roma.
