Arcadonisian Civil War (MT,Open)

[Arcadonisia]

Suburb of the City of Snowborne, District 2 of the Rebel Nation of Coastbourne

Jakob never could fully understand the conflict raging between the Humans and his people, but he quietly assured himself that their differences could be set aside for everyone's best interests and that full blown civil war could be avoided. That reassurance was quickly eroding when some of his human neighbors eyed him and his family with suspicion, slowly pulling handguns from the trunks of their cars and walking towards them. Jakob turned to his wife, Charlotte with fear in his eyes and spoke quickly and quietly, not to scare his two daughters beside him. "Get in the car and run as far away as you can." "What? We're not leaving without you." said Charlotte, her voice cracking with emotion as Jakob handed her the car keys. "Charlotte, do as I say. Go. Now." By the time Charlotte reached the car door, her husband confronted the two men to spare her some time. Her two children screamed in horror as their dad was gunned down. As they sped off down the street, houses were burning to the ground, bodies of the deceased littered the pristine lawns.

When they reached the outskirts of Snowborne, explosions rang out as human assailants used molotov cocktails to burn down native homes and business. Rebel controlled helicopters tore through the air, firing at resisting civilians fighting the rebel forces in town square only a half a mile away. Charlotte sped down the deserted highway and was stopped by a road block, patrolled by rebel soldiers. As soon as they spotted her, they knew she wasn't human. they cocked their rifles and walked towards the car, ordering her to step out. Her children watched as the soldiers handcuffed her, beat her, called her obscene names and forced her to her knees facing her children. She mouthed the words "I love you." before they shot her in the back of the head.

Sol Vera, District 7, Arcadonisia

All of the civilians outside the Palace stared in shock and horror as large television screens set up outside detailed the first attacks of the Rebel Forces. The Arcadonisian nation was now split into two, the Rebel controlled nation of Coastbourne containing the four southern districts and the Arcadonisian controlled northern three districts. Many of the citizens fell to their knees sobbing, mourning the deaths of loved ones and fearing for the lives of their kind as they were trapped in Rebel controlled areas, unable to leave under fear of being shot.

Inside the Royal Palace, the various rooms were emptied as servants and government workers were released to comfort and to spend time with their children. Only the King and the essential government officials stayed behind, deciding the next steps to be taken. Inside the War Room, A large projection of the nation and two territories was displayed. Minister of Defense Alex McConnell was informing the military generals and the King of the situation currently underway. "As of right now, our nation has been split. Rebels are currently seizing control of the southern districts, restricting us of some of our manufacturing facilities and the ability to reach out to our neighbor nations by naval forces, while we have control of all major sea ports and a small majority of military bases. I suggest we make it official and declare war."

Several of the generals in the room shifted in their seats, assessing the options, while some of the armed forces commanders rose from their seats and spoke out. "Declare war? Are you mad? This is just a little scuffle, it'll soon pass with limited intervention." Alistar sat at the head of the table, weighing in on the information being told. His mind was already set. "Commander, i'm ordering you to stand down. The decision to declare full out war is my choice and mine alone. Although it seems that our neighbors to the south have forced my hand in this situation. As of now, my kingdom is under siege and It is my duty as King to protect my people, native and human. McConnell, send out the word. We are now in a Civil War. I don't need to remind you all that if we don't act quickly, then we will be faced to choose which holocaust will begin." Alisar silenced the entire room and left to compose a letter to be sent out to all nations willing to listen.

To the Nations of the World,

My Kingdom has fallen into a Civil War and will soon face a devastating holocaust. I call upon those willing and able to support me and my Government to save the lives of my species from extinction. Due to the Rebels seizing the southern districts, half of our military equipment and soldiers have been stolen in an effort to aid the rebels in the race to exterminate all non-humans in their domain. I ask that you aid us in our darkest hour.

Alistar Gregorio IV
King of Arcadonisia

[Haichianga]

Haichianga supports you Arcadonisia our army is being prepared for the war.

[Arcadonisia]

To the Government of Haichianga,

The people of Arcadonisia and I are grateful for your decision to aid us in this dark time. We hope that you will send out word to others so that we can reunite our broken nation and spare the lives of millions being affected by the Rebel's actions.

[Lolloh]

OOC Are all these people human? You keep referring to them as not? And is your government democratic? I'm planning intervening, but I'd like a little more info, if it can be helped.

To: Alistar Gregorio IV
From: Prime Minister Harrim Harruki
I understand that your people are in troubled times, and these violent rebels bring nothing but death and destruction. We will see if we can conduct a war, though do not expect too many troops, as we are involved elsewhere with our forces.

OOC: The general population is split in half between the three humanoid species and humanity itself. Humans control the Southern four districts of Coastbourne. Coastbourne was founded by violent protesters refusing to accept the natives as equals and are fighting to expel the native population from their lands. There are humans that consider the natives as equals, so they remain loyal to the Throne and to their humanoid neighbors. They still reside in the Northern three districts of Arcadonisia.

My nation is ruled by a Monarch, but the people have the rights to democratically change laws and policies if they wish.

IC:

To: Prime Minister Harrim Harruki,

I thank you for considering to helping my nation. Any help that you can send is more than enough, and we'll be eternally grateful.

Alistar Gregorio IV

[The Great Tundra]

King Alistar,

The Great Tundra will send some specialists -exact numbers won't be shared for security reasons- to aid you in your struggles.Be informed that they are absolute masters with their respective weapons and each and every one of them has received rigorous training in irregular and urban warfare and they are thus very well versed with explosives and IED's.

This intervention will come at a price though. We intervene in order to restore stability, but not in order to restore you to the throne. We demand that, as soon as Peace is restored, all citizens are given the right to vote on a national referendum whether or not the monarchy should remain in power. We won't try to sway the referendum, but it seems that, given that half your population has risen in revolt, there seems to be a question of legitimacy of your government. Still, we do not believe in bowing to force and are willing to support government troops, if you are willing to accept our conditions.

Yours sincerely,

Tamara min- Mulayka, Head of Government

At the same time, Coastbourne:

Three black civilian airliners were flying through the air, being officially marked as AirMitanni transports. But they were not.
Inside, Colonel Daryush Javad checked his TAR-21 assault riffle. Plenty of other mercs from Mitanni were there with him. He was trained by SAVAK, and was member of one of biggest Mercenary firms in the world, Ivory Tower Security group. About 120 other mercs were on this planes with him, other 1000 was planned to be delivered in other transports, to act as guides, trainers, elite soldiers and special operators.
Now wrath of Shah was to be unleashed on Arcadonisia.
They parachuted on the ground...

[Arcadonisia]

Tamara Min,

I appreciate the friendly gesture to offer us aid, however I take offense on your offer. My family has ruled this nation for 932 years with the blessings of our people, and I expect to lead and protect my people, even If I must sacrifice my own life. The Throne will live to see its domain restored and all of its people in peace. As for you questioning my authenticity to rule, I will inform you that the Rebels broke from my Kingdom because they have an agenda that includes the extinction of my species. So in short, my answer to your requirements for aid is a strict no.

Alistar Gregorio IV
King of Arcadonisia

[Mitanni]

The Mercs parachuted and begun assault on local village, which was to be cleared of non- humans. Mitans wanted to give a gift to the rebels. So, when they parachuted, they divided themselves in three platoons. They later marched towards village, calm and grim like angels of death.
Two platoons formed line in front of village and begun their assault. Non- humans were rounded up, they won' t be executed. But they were rounded up while Mercs - with ivory tower logos on their chests.
At the same time, a video was sent to King Alistair IV. It was uploaded on YouTube video of Ivory Tower Mercs rounding up non-humans.

Inside the War Room, Workers on the floor were receiving information on the reinforcements inside of Coastbourne being provided by the nation of Mitanni. One of the workers rushed the report into the King's room and handed the paper to Alistar himself. "What's this?" "This is the intel from Coastbourne's reinforcements." said the worker as Alistar read the report. Several moments passed before Alistar made his statement on the report. "So. It seems the traitors of Coastbourne are receiving aid from Mitanni to hasten the extinction of my species. Now that they are on the ground, It's time to deploy soldiers to meet them head on." Alistar turned to the worker and gave him instructions to tell McConnell to alert all military bases and prepare for deployment of Three battalions to eliminate the enemy forces. In secret, Alistar ordered for the mobile installation of Class II and III Hellfire Missiles to strike the enemy military installations should the assault and rescue mission fail.

Inside Fort Davenport, Colonel Austin Smith received the order and rounded up his men. "Listen up. We are being deployed to Coastbourne to eliminate all foreign enemies and to rescue and natives being trapped. Before you leave, move to the South Hall and pick up your grenade belts, pistols, and M4 Carbines. Take as much ammo as you need and meet at the pick-up site." As soon as they were released, they all synced up their locator belts and silently armed themselves for the fight ahead of them.

[Mitanni]

Mitanns were good soldiers, capable of fighting. They were militaristic society fueled by constant hatred and fear of Arabs. Now this were not arabs, it were Arcadonisians. Who to Mitans were nothibg else than bunch of homos who had too much freedom. And it was time to end this land of freedom once for all.
In the city of Coastbourne, defences were being readied. Mitans knew asymmetric warfare and knew how to help this people organize defence. The defence was made of mobile, semi independent strongholds ready to be abandoned when needed. There were plans for ambushes in series being readied. In four hours, entire city was ready to be defended.
Daryush looked on horizon. He knew that Arcs will come soon - but they would die. All of them.

[The Great Tundra]

*Transmission* ...Operatives, you are on your own. Security forces will not, repeat, will not come to your aid. We cannot know for sure whether they are hostile yet, but INTEL suggests that several hundreds of Ivory tower mercs have arrived in Coastboarne, ready to cleanse the non-human population. We have to intervene, whether Alistair wants our help or not, as his forces are clearly not prepared for this kind of warfare...*Transmission ends*

Codename Lone Wolf, upon hearing this message, knew what to do. He had feared as much from the royal family, but they'd see reason when he and the others where the only thing preventing the complete eradication of humanoids in the south. He had come to Arcadonisia via the southern border, and so he had already passed several rebel strongholds. It would be one of them that would have to fall now.

Looking at his watch, he knew it was about time. *BOOOM* An enormous tremour went through the earth as Lone Wolf watched a mobile barricade collapse after his homemade napalm had torn a hole into the supports. The lucky Mittans on top of the barricade had a merciful death, but the ones hiding in their mobile fortress, although surviving the initial blast were now trapped by solid walls of fire and ere slowly roasted. Just to make sure tough, Lone Wolf picked up his trusted Dragunov and prepared to pick off any survivors. None of the 14 mercs that were within the compound according to his INTEL made it out alive.

After his little skirmish, Lone Wolf needed to gather support. The Royal family and the security forces might not be on his side, but if he could signal to the humanoids that there were people out there ready to help them, able to help them and skilled enough to train them to defend themselves, they might just have a fighting chance. He got out his spray can and started writing...

[The Great Tundra]

Codename Ghost Warrior had spent the past two days in hiding, gathering INTEL for today's hit. He had, upon arrival been able to spark a small cell of armed humanoids, that would no doubt come very useful as this civil war would drag on. Then the dispatch came through... no government support, black ops, enemy territory and hundreds of skilled mercs. He loved it.

Unfortunately, on of the humanoids in his cell was captured and tortured, revealing the names of all the others. Ghost Warrior knew that they had been collected, tortured as to his whereabouts and where now about to be executed. He could see them through his scope, as he was scanning the faces and the masks of the mercs below him. They were five in total, one of them had corporal's stripes. He'd be his prime target. Hidden well behind the remnants of a window front on the fifth floor two blocks away, Ghost Warrior was lining up for his shot. He was very sorry for Axel, as he was beyond a doubt the first humanoid about to be executed, and there was nothing he could do if he wanted to save them and not lose his moment of surprise.

As the two mercs returned from putting Axel up against the wall, Ghost Warrior switched of the safety. Breathe in. Breathe out. Bang. He timed it perfectly, so that the first shot coincided perfectly with Axel's death. Reload. Bang. Reload Bang. Two more of the mercs were down. The other humanoids had flung themselves to the floor and by now the remaining two mercs had ducked for cover. For a split- second, one of them showed his head, but that was all Ghost needed. One more, and then he'd be reunited with the three remnants of his cell. They had at least been clever enough to go into cover. Unfortunately, Ghost couldn't find the last merc. Suddenly he saw one of the humanoids run up, to fast for him to recognise who it was, and lunged behind a wall. Shots were fired. Then, a bit later, Thom returned from behind the wall, holding up the merc's rifle in salute. All five were gone, and the resistance had taken foot...

[Wasted Colony]

Dear King Alistair,

Forgive me my supposed arrogance, but I'm sure you must have heard of the work just two of my specialists did. We have no way of pulling them out with the current situation surrounding the Ivory Tower Mercenaries and we would like you to reconsider our offer. We did not mean to insult you we merely want to state that we are there for stabilisation, not to prop up your regime. My operatives are currently setting up cells involving the local population and training them in the asymmetric warfare necessary to defeat these mercenaries and rebels, but these skills are transferable. I am sure you understand...

I wish I could commend you for any military action against rebels or mercenaries, but so far there has been none. Understand that we want to fight on the same same, but be not misled, we will fight for the humanoids, with or without your permission and with or without your help. Consider carefully whether you want to make them your enemy, considering that two of them just reduced the number of highly trained mercenaries by 19 in just two days.

Yours faithfully,

Li mo- Yuanweh, Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Covert Operations

((Sorry on behalf of anyone's confusion, the last comment (by Wasted Colony) was by me, I accidentally logged into my different account))

[The Great Tundra]

Alahana, if you are willing to do so, our operatives could get your troops right to the front lines, ready to tackle the mercenaries and rebels at the roots. We are, as soon as you give us the go- ahead.

OOC: Just for everyone's information, Alistar is a Humanoid along with all the others that reside in the nation.

IC: The war planes were ready in a matter of hours. Colonel Austin Smith was aboard ARC-1, which was surrounded by ARCs 2 and 3. The pilots got on their intercoms and signaled that they were ready for lift off. "Command, this Is ARC-1 signing on. launch protocols are complete are are waiting on clearance for lift-off, over." The intercom static buzzed as instructions from Command were being given out. "Take off is authorized. Lock your coords to the town of Snowborne, over." As soon as the coords were punched in, the turbines began to warm up as the sped down the runway. As soon as they got enough speed, the planes lifted off the ground and sped towards the blue sky ahead.

Everyone aboard the planes were nervous. The war planes were carrying class I and II Hellfire Missiles, one of the most deadliest weapons that the government has ever built. "You don't suppose that they'll detonate with the turbulence do you?" said one of the soldiers. "Of course not." said another, "Don't get your panties in a wad." Colonel Smith just sat there in his seat, waiting for a chance to reclaim the stolen lands that the traitors took. He couldn't help but to wonder what would lay ahead for him and his men.

War Room, Sol Vera

"You can't be serious.." said McConnell as he glared at Alistar, who was gathering his age-old weapons and stashed them in his messenger bag. "I'm as serious as possible right now Alex. My duty is to my people. I made an oath that I would die trying to defend this nation and I intend to fulfill my promise." McConnell let out a frustrated groan. "I just don't know what you have to go out there. That's what soldiers are for! You're a King, not a soldier." "Am I now? I was there 33 years ago when I led my armies to victory at Achron and restored the Throne, Alex. Just because I'm 53 doesn't mean I'm old and ancient. As far as i'm concerned, I'm barely out of my 20's physically and mentally. Age is just a number." McConnell lowered his gaze and replied softly "I meant no disrespect." "I know" replied Alistar. Within an hour, Alistar was on a private jet preparing to catch up with the airborne soldiers. His only wish was that he could lead his people to victory.

[Mitanni]

But at the same time something evil appeared on their radars.
They were brought here covertly, hidden in big cargo planes, and unloaded on rebel controlled airports. Small, but verry manoueverable, AS 12 Shahin ( eagle ) - newest development from Mitan military - took of the airport, to combat planes of "arcs".
They were being piloted by one of most skilled pillots in whole Shahdom. Only veterans earned their ranks in ivory tower security group, and were paid well.
Soon they dazed towards planes of Arcs, engaging them in dogfights. New Shaab shor range thermal guided missile were put into action. Arcs were facing big problems.

Kuhrsaw smiled. Arcs had no knowledge about asymmetric warfare. It would soon become bad for them.

[The Great Tundra]

Dear Immortal Dreadlord,

Whilst we understand your motivations to support the rebels in this struggle, do you not have any reservations over the ethnic cleansing which they engage in? Whilst our own forces are committed to creating stability with as few human losses as possible, we are very committed to preventing a humanitarian crisis from developing. We hold your nation in great respect((seriously, how do you do your weapon schematics? They look superb)), but if your empire supports the ethnic cleansing undertaken by the Ivory Tower Mercenaries who rushed to the Rebel's help, we will try our hardest to hit back.

We do not want to engage in warfare of any type with your forces, so please reconsider your action and instead support our mission to prepare the people as a whole to defend themselves, if they wish to even against King Alistair. We are as dubious about supporting an oppressive monarch as you are, but we don't think that the ordinary civilians should suffer for the failings of his regime.

Li mo- Yuanweh, Head of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Covert Operations

[Arcadonisia]

The ARC series war planes neared the LZ when they spotted enemy targets awaiting their arrival. "Attention soldiers, we have hostiles inside the LZ. Strap yourselves in and prepare for evasive protocols." All the soldiers strapped themselves in and hoped that they wouldn't get shot down. Moments later, the echos of gunfire could be heard outside the plane as hostile fired at the planes. The planes split up and fought with the enemy planes until an open window was available to go on the offensive. The pilot in ARC-1 flipped on the fire-ready switch which activated the launching mechanisms for the Class I Hellfire Missiles and zoned into the heart of enemy resistance. "Command, permission to initiate launch sequence, over." The intercom buzzed as Command gave their approval. "Launch sequence approved. Initiate strike,over."

The pilot jammed his thumb into the red button and the missile flew out of its cartridge. As the bomb fell towards the ground, the remaining war planes protected it from enemy gun fire. The targeting mechanism short-circuited and fell only 1,000 feet away from the enemy positions. Once the missile exploded, the super-heated flames quickly spread from building to building, trapping enemy units inside buildings, being cooked alive. the downward winds propelled the flames towards the LZ but then died out, giving the planes a small window for landing.

OOC: "The general population is split in half between the three humanoid species and humanity itself. Humans control the Southern four districts of Coastbourne. Coastbourne was founded by violent protesters refusing to accept the natives as equals and are fighting to expel the native population from their lands."

I'm up for an alien genocide.

IC:

Firmador announces its support of the Human forces in Coastbourne fighting for the homogeneous genetic line necessary of a modern, superior, nation.

[The Great Tundra]

It looked bad. Li's prediction had come true, almost word for word. Intelligence indicated that the Mittan Mercenaries stationed around Snowbourne had launched surface -to- air missiles to deal with the, predictably, dispatched ARC transport planes. Disjointed messages, intercepted by a spy satellite, also seemed to indicate that the King was missing, together with a private plane.
"Li, Sir, you have to see this..." the information analyst shouted across the Situation Room. "What is it?" Li answered as he made his way to the table cluttered with ordnance maps and satellite images. "Looks like the heat signatures of some basic surface- to- air missile, but..." "But?"
"...but the Arcadonisian Air Force has missile deflection systems, that, although not top, will make scrap of normal missiles"
"So you are saying that these missiles are different?"
" Yes sir, most definitely. For one, they are travelling faster. They are also deployed differently, as is clear from these Satellite Images"
"So what is it we are dealing with here?"
"Honestly sir, no idea. It could be anything from a missile with an altered fuel discharge and payload delivery up to a tactical thermonuclear warhead. I guess we'll just have to wait and evaluate further intel". Li furrowed his brow. His specialists knew they'd be in a sticky place, but if his fears were confirmed, their situation just got a lot hairier. "What do you suggest we do then?", Li asked the analyst.
"Best bet is to send through a dispatch with coded signal, hope that some of our operatives are within the vicinity of these missiles and are able to stop them. Otherwise I just hope that these things aren't nuclear"

A Few Miles off Snowbourne

*Transmission* ...missiles are a top priority target, especially as it seems likely that the King is on one of the planes currently targeted. Ideally establish weapon type, but primarily disable these weapons... *Transmission ends*

Codename Cold Night assembled his AK-47 assault rifle and loaded up an extra magazine as the dispatch crackled into silence. He wouldn't have much time and Igor's motorbike looked rather old and rusty for the couple of miles she'd have to cover before reaching the missile sites. At least she knew she could reach them in time, if she set off soon. She stuffed her extra mags in her rucksack on top of her demolition packs, strapped her AK around her back and her Tokarev to her thigh. She gave a short tug on her kevlar vest, to ensure that it was tight enough and then set off.

After fifteen minutes, she reached the town outskirts, but it was already obvious where she had to go. The truck tracks in the snow all led in the same direction, and by the amount of tracks, she knew she'd find the missile site. Acouple of minutes later, as she came to a stop on top of a snow covered hill, she saw them. Three deployment systems with over thirty missiles being unloaded. The place was swarming with Mercs, at least 30 of them were swarming about. If she did this, she had to do it quick and with surprise as her friend. in her clothes, she wouldn't stand out against the snow, but the sheer number of mercenaries guarding the missile site made a sneak attack impossible. As a precaution, Cold Night smashed her radio. She'd be able to find or build one easy enough, but she could not risk their codes falling into enemy hands.

She sped her bike down the hill, steering towards the missile truck. Two Mercs rushed out to halt her, but before either could do anything she opened fire on them with her Tokarev. One of the mercs managed to shout for help, before her bullets punched through his cranium. She knew she had to be quick. As she jumped off the bike, three more mercenaries came running towards her, alarmed by the two dead guards. She lept onto the truck when the first bullet struck her. Thanks to her kevlar, it solely broke two of her ribs, but it was enough to wind her. She knew that this had become a suicide mission. Disregarding her followers, she flung her rucksack with the demolition packs in between the missiles. By now, the mercenaries were on her, opening fire. She ducked away under the first salvo, but the second one took her in the chest and threw her to the ground. One of their bullets had dug themselves deep within her shoulder blade and she had to do all to prevent herself losing consciousness. It was too late for the missiles that were already loaded, but she'd be able to stop these ones at least. In a last effort, she lifted her Tokarev and fired onto her backpack. "Great Spirit, here I come" she whispered, before her world became consumed by a giant fire ball.

[Mitanni]

The problem was that there was no heart. It were.all semi independent strongpoints capable of surviving destruction of one, and they were made to withstand the bombardment. Hellfire missile turned the buildings into ruins - which was great, because it only made defence easier.
The incomming troopers were struck by Shilkas being brought here by Ivory Tower. And when they have landed it turbed into massacre.
It was series of quick attacks, made by use of Sniper rifles and LMGs. Quick attack, quick retreat and if soldiers followed escaping mercs, they fell into another trap. There were no frontlines here. Arcs should fall into chaos, allowing mercs to slowly encircle and destroy chaotic units.
In the air, Shahins were showing their class. Attacks were.carried from all sides, to encircle and destroy enemy.
