The West Robin Islands War, [MT, OPEN, IC]

[Tobiasia]

The West Robin Islands are an archipelago of islands comprising four main islands.

The North Island:
Sparsely populated, further from Tobiasia, the largest island.

The East Island:
Largely populated, closest to Tobiasia, a medium sized island.

The South Island:
Largely populated, further from Tobiasia, a medium sized island.

The West Island:
Medium population, further from Tobiasia, a small island.

There are also 5 atolls in the archipelago, 2 near the South Island, one near the West Island, one near the East Island and one near the North Island.

The archipelago was originally claimed by Tobiasia, because it owns the East Robin Islands, some 400 miles away. However, other nations have recently set claim to the islands, knowing that Tobiasia has no military force on the islands.

OOC: Sign up and set a claim!

Rules:
No god modding
My word is law
This is a MT war
No nukes
Use pictures if possible!
Have fun!

[Tobiasia]

A Tobiasian destroyer of the 4th fleet speeds towards the islands. Tobiasia has publicly stated it's claim over the entire archipelago, but the main aim is the East Island.

[Aquilae Dominion]

The Dominion has recently announce their claim over the North Island of the West Robin Archipelago. While negotiations are hopeful for these claims to be recognized. Over the course of these negotiations, The Dominion has sent a few expeditions to the island and has even established a small naval presence on the North and west coasts of the island, hoping to sway the locals over to their side.

[Tobiasia]

The destroyer is now just two miles from the East Island, and four boats disengage. They are small carrier boats carrying 10 soldiers apiece. After minutes they land on the coast, and troops unload. A camp is set up, three miles from the main city in the East Island, Tarka. Two Stoat Main Battle Tanks unload as well.

Within an hour tanks are rolling down Tarka's main street. They meet little resistance, and soon the Tobiasian flag flutters in the wind. The local population are already quite pro-Tobiasia.

The atoll nearby is a different matter. A group of 3 frigates and an amphibious attack ship carrier are sailing towards the atoll when the get in sight of the previously volcanic island. The island looks relatively uninhabited, but this is a ploy. Beneath the atoll are a network of underground trenches and pillboxes, commanded by the infamous West Robin Resistance. The attack vessels quickly land on the beach, around 800 troops. But then the machine guns open up. Troops scatter over the beach, attempting to make their way to the ridge. Eventually the pillboxes on the beach are destroyed, but already 370 are dead or wounded. The remainder make their way into the tunnels. It is an unnerving experience, but the Tobiasians have the element of surprise. After just 30 minutes, the WRR have been pulled out and taken abroad the frigates as prisoners.

Tobiasia's race to annexe the islands has begun.

[Aquilae Dominion]

As more Dominion peacekeeping Forces arrived on the shores of the North Island, they quickly began consolidating 2 Bases of Operation in the small town a few miles in from the north coast of the island, and then in the largest city on the island, consisting of just under 9,000 people. nonetheless they had control over the majority of the island, mostly over the northern half. About 15,000 Dominion soldiers would be deployed over the next few days, just to keep order and lay dominance over their newly claimed territory.

[Eonstar]

Seeing the power vacuum in the West Robin Islands, the Eonstar high command dispatches the nuclear-powered battlecruiser, ENS Triumphant moves to the north edge of the southern island of the complex. When it arrives, a VTOL aircraft from the battlecruiser flies to remote areas of the island and plants flags there, flying around inhabited areas so as to avoid enemy fire. It can be almost certain that nuclear attack submarines lie underneath.

As the ENS Triumphant speeds towards the islands, the slower conventionally powered East Fleet moves to reinforce it.

[Great Palkia]

A fleet of eight high class destroyers from the 8th fleet are sent from Great Palkia to claim the south island and set up a military base for the approaching troop force of 12,000 highly trained soldiers and 80 marines. Each destroyer is carrying 200 soldiers each and leading them is the feared Great Palkia General, Mason Grey.

[The Federation of Kendor]

OOC:Sorry for not saying that i would join the conflict but i would support you, Tobiasia. Also while i'm a FT nation and has a lot of puppets, including MT one i'm too lazy to switch to my puppet now so i would RP in this thread as MT Kendor

IC:The Kendorians decided to help Tobiasia defend it's island. The 11th Destroyer Fleet, consisting of 12 destroyers has been dispatched to help Tobiasia fight the invader, also the Kendorian 5th Bomber Regiment, consisting of 10 bombers were dispatched. The unit were leaded by Admiral Frank Jonas and General Francorces Hentz, respectively. Also 5 transport ships, carrying 400 infantry and 20 tanks each has been sended to transport soldiers to defend the island. The Kendorians also hoped that they would get a positive relation with Tobiasia

[Hetrica]

West Island
The first troops landed on the beaches, supported by naval ships they advanced. Taking the cities and asserting control of the island. As they reached each town/city they would round up all who opposed them, and shot them. As tanks and artillery were deployed onto the island the population were rounded up. As they came to each town square they were forced to listen to the Hetrican officers. Giving speeches on how good Hetrica is, how good there army is, how they would make this island great, and finally came the last speech. Repeated in each town square. "Hello ladies and gentleman. We are renaming the island as Johnson's island, in name of our great leader. Here we seek to turn this island into a safe haven for all hetricans, so we are getting you to build this island into a military fortress. You dont have to help, in fact you have a choice. Build us this fortress, or be shot. don't you just love freedom." As the people roared in anger the tanks rolled in, the people would fall silent. They had no chance to fight back, they could only do as they were told. Johnson island was Hetrican now, and it was unlikely to change hands.

The Kendorians condemn Hetrica's action toward the locals. They decided to invade Johnson's Island and they started to send their 5 transport ships toward the island to occupy it, the transport ship is defended by the 11th Destroyer Fleet, which were equipped with Sky Clearer air defense system. The Kendorians also asked the Tobiasian to allow their plane and soldiers to be stationed in their military base to help defend Tobiasia's island and retake them if they got occupied by another nation

Johnson Island
The Hetrican forces dig themselves in, positioned along the coastline. Artillery and Tanks hide further back, ready to defend. The citizens are rounded up and are placed across the island. The Hetrican forces guarding them, the Hetricans are ready for a fight. They will not die down quickly.
Off the coast of Johnson Island
Hetrican ships and submarines are placed, ready to defend. They prepare for the oncoming onslaught.

Dear Kendor
We do not wish for a war, we are claiming territory to defend our glorious nation. We will fight if necessary, we have prepared our nuclear armaments and our space weaponry. (space station that fires long metal rods, nuclear weapons or conventional missiles) Please see reason, don't invade us. We will fight.
Thanks,
Nicholas Johnson

[Tobiasia]

Ladies and Gentlemen. We have just captured the East Island and two atolls nearby. A cheer is heard from the crowd. And Kendor is willing to support us. Another cheer. So we shall be giving Kendor one of our atolls to use as a base.

Meanwhile in the east island troops are running through the busy streets. Tanks drive through on their way to the front lines. On the Western side of the island is a network of pillboxes and trenches. Tobiasian troops rush through these keeping an eye on the closest island, the South Island, about 80 miles away, just a peak in the far distance of water. In front of them, the Tobiasian 5th fleet sails. With destroyers, aircraft carriers and frigates, this is a powerful force. Although Tobiasia is a long way away from the islands, using the East Robin Islands as a staging point works in their favour.

[Great Palkia]

As the Great Palkian destroyers of the 8th fleet arrived at the south island, they are met by a small force of natives of about 20 men. The natives were beaten quickly by the heavily armed Great Palkian soldiers but not killed. The Great Palkian soldiers began to build the military base for the approaching 12,000 soldiers and 80 marines using native slaves captured from the first encounter near a small town named Ecteva.

Meanwhile, the troop force of, 12,000 soldiers and 80 marines are being transported to the south island by 4 military transport ships. They are now only 120 miles east of the south island and will be arriving at the south island fairly soon.

[Tobiasia]

Dear Great Palkia

Although we oppose your invasion of the southern island, we are economic allies so I must warn you, Eonstar has a similar claim to the South Island, and will fight your claim.

Yours, Tobiasia

Hearing news of the appalling actions taken by Hetrica, The Dominon has decided to speak with Kendorian officials on a plan to utilize a joint military effort. Although The Dominon would like to avoid putting their own men into combat, they would be willing to provide offshore naval support, alongside sending an additional 20,000 Dominion soldiers to the North Island in case an inavasion would occur. The Dominion send the 5th Fleet, also known as Constantine's Fleet, consisting of around 30 destroyers and 2 aircraft carriers.

[Orostan]

North Island

Orostani aircraft swept over the island. Soon after ships came over the horizon. Several gigantic service ships began to build a port, and landing ships disembarked troops. Soon a base was constructed, and an airfield built. A town arose for the soldiers and their families there, with buildings literally shipped there.


Orostani News Broadcast

Anchor: Here is our guest, General Dan Stajetkov, here to talk about the recent settlement of the North West Robin Islands, Dan.
Dan: We have come to take what is rightful Orostani land, and we have a town of about 1,000 Civilians and close to 10,000 Troops there.
Anchor: Why so many troops?
Dan: I'm glad you asked. Other nations.... do not agree with our actions.

*bzzt*

[Eonstar]

The nearest squadron from the East Fleet arrives and sets up a naval and air defense perimeter around the South island to block any more non-Eonstar ships or aircraft from approaching (save those that are already there). Known Eonstar ships around the island now include one 45,000 ton battlecruiser, one 13,000 ton cruiser, four 8,000 ton destroyers, and two 1,800 ton diesel attack submarines, plus attendant support ships. A publicly undisclosed number of nuclear attack submarines now lurk below.

The other squadron (1 cruiser, 4 destroyers, 2 attack submarines, plus support ships) escorting two 70,000 ton carriers and four 26,000 ton amphibious landing ships is not far behind, now a few hundred miles from the island.

Helicopters and aircraft from both squadrons begin dropping passive sensors and sonobuoys in the ocean.

Meanwhile, 40 heavy transports of the Eonstar air force paradrop an airborne regiment (4,000 troops with small numbers of tanks and air-defense equipment) onto a part of the island, where they secure the area and setup a defensive perimeter. They begin construction of a makeshift airfield.

A small camera drone is sent to obtain pictures of the Great Palkian military using slave labor, and then leaflets with these pictures and a description of Great Palkia's actions are dropped across the island.

Notice from Eonstar Foreign Ministry to Great Palkia

The Commonwealth of Eonstar is sending a notice to Great Palkia that the southern island of the West Robins Island is Eonstar territory, as indicated by flags and presence across the island. Great Palkia must halt construction work on the island immediately, release the native inhabitants who're subjects of Eonstar, and begin withdrawing from the island, per international law.

[Eonstar]

Statement from the Foreign Ministry of Eonstar

The Commonwealth of Eonstar is deeply concerned by Hetrica's actions. We strongly encourage Hetrica to end its shocking actions in the West Robin Islands and leave the region. Though our own circumstances prevent us from intervening directly, we state our support for the Aquilae Dominion and the Federation of Kendor in rectifying the grave situation that has taken place in the North West Robin Island.

[Eonstar]

Message from Eonstar East Fleet to approaching Great Palkia convoy

You are approaching Eonstar protected zone. DO NOT come within 100 nautical miles of this island.

[Great Palkia]

The Great Palkian military base has been completed on the south island and the 4 transport ships wait 150 nautical miles away from the south island waiting for the command to engage the blockade. The Great Palkian military gets word of the attack threat from Eonstar and prepare for an invasion. General Mason Grey is wanting to set up negotiations with Eonstar for the south island.

Two aircraft carriers are sent from the Great Palkia naval base to aid the transport ships to the south island through the blockade.

[Tobiasia]

6 reconnaissance aircraft fly over the East Island, shooting over the city and moving into the open ocean, heading west. They fly near the West Island, taking photos of the area.

An hour later 3 frigates head towards the West Island, before taking up position around 30 miles away. They take aim, and fire their frontal cannons. All three shells hit a bank in downtown West Island

Later Admiral Sonya, commander of the 5th fleet, sends this letter.

Dear the occupiers of the West Island

We know that you are in occupation of the West Island. We stand in direct contradiction of this claim. You saw what happened to this bank in this island, and although we have fallen back, we will return if you do not give up your threatening rhetoric.

Yours, Admiral Sonya

[Eonstar]

The Great Palkian military base has been completed on the south island and the eight destroyers blew past the Eonstar blockade with little casualties to land the requested extra troops as well as 40 heavy tanks. The Great Palkian military gets word of the attack threat from Eonstar and prepare for an invasion. General Marc Lawson is wanting to set up negotiations with Eonstar for the south island.

Two aircraft carriers are sent from the Great Palkia naval base to eradicate the remains of the Eonstar blockade if they do not come to a negotioation.

OOC: See my OOC post. Need to sort this out: viewtopic.php?p=29099329#p29099329

[Tobiasia]

Four frigates, an aircraft carrier and two destroyers sail towards the South Island. They set up a blockade around 40 miles from the island. One destroyer fires, slamming a shell into the ground just 100 metres from the Town Hall. Admiral Sonya of the 5th Tobiasian Fleet sends this letter to Eondidas.

Dear Eondidas

Surrender, and we shall grant you the northern part of the South Island. Join us, and surrender to Great Palkias fleet or ours.

Yours, Tobiasia

[Great Palkia]

Great Palkia sends 6 destroyers and 1 aircraft carrier from the 12th fleet to obtain the two atolls next to the south island. Their plans are to clear the atolls for an airforce base.

[Eonstar]

Notice from Foreign Ministry of Eonstar to Great Palkia and Tobiasa

In light of the escalating tensions in the West Robin Islands, we are willing to pull out of the southern part of the South Island, if you agree to recognize our sovereignty over the northern part. Please negotiate so that we can avoid unnecessary bloodshed on all sides. This message has been forwarded to the East Fleet naval command and 1st airborne regiment so that you may arrange the transfer of territory and establish local relations to avoid any accidents.

We hope that we can come to a mutually acceptable understanding.
