This is common knowledge to the wider universe however as the nation is relatively it would be expected that some may not know of the Protectorate.

[Observation Post 13]

Central Planning Authority Actions TL;DR

1. Diplomatic exchange with Riftian Alliance Trading Company; obtained 1 bottle of Royal Sun
2. Take over of Mine OU-598 'Lazy', previously controlled by Katou; captured Lightstone weapons and Katou prisoners
3. Currently building factory powered using geothermal; robots using resources from mine to self-replicate

[Kasa Tkoth Sphere]

Losses Post 2. Really I just think doing this on Discord would be a little bit noncommittal.

• 1 operative KIA (Specialist Shan, Squad One)
• 3 Winker-type aerial combat drones destroyed
• 3 Aggressor-type skirmish drones destroyed

[Merrick Protectorate]

TL;DR

Both the MPV 'Matador' and the MPV 'Oblivion' will advance around the moon with the intention of using it as cover from sensor tracking. With the size of both ships and the distance from Sunryria it would be expected that some factions might have noticed their incursion into the sector. The Taskforce will then advance towards the spaceport and even and slow speed to avoid detection as long as possible.

*Seems like my last post got lost in the void... will find it expect a post before the end of the day*

[Irenton]

Nation Name: The Velvet Corporation / VIPR Group (Unofficially)
Motivations: Publically, the intention is to protect Cobb Larson's assets and get paid to do it. Unofficially, Imperial scientists are curious about Lightstone, and want to secure as much of it as possible - as well as research into its properties - for potential use in the future. The Empire deems Cobb Larson strong enough to hold onto the Lightstone with covert Imperial assistance, but weak enough to not fully exploit Lightstone's potential or to resist a potential future Imperial invasion.
Orbital Assets:
The Indisputable (Publically) / IESS Mercy of the Mighty - Warrior class Destroyer
22 Dragon Dropships
18 Rapture 122 Tactical Fighters

Ground Assets:
Task Force Whisper
I. Special Operations Squad
Colonel "Whisper"
9 VIPR operatives
44th Light Ranger Battalion - VIPR Attachment
Headquarters
Ranger-Colonel Michael Tylin, 21 officers and men
I. Light Ranger Company
144 troops
I. Service Company
64 troops
141st Mechanised Reconnaisance Battalion - VIPR Attachment
I. Mechanised Reconnaisance Company
144 troops, FRV-98 Patrol Vehicles


Miscellaneous: The Velvet Corporation is a fake private military corporation and is actually just a front for VIPR - an Imperial special forces unit. VIPR's job will be more along the lines of spying on Cobb Larson, whilst the attached Rangers and Recon - from the regular army - put up the appearance of a genuine PMC.

Nation Name-snip-

[Royal Frankia]

CODE: SELECT ALL

Nation Name: The Realm Eternal, the Realm of Everlasting Light, the Realm Bequeathed to the Sacred Fire, or the Dread Realm/
Motivations: To support which either faction can successfully topple the conglomerate's yoke over this world and win concessions for the Emerald Pact. Such might range from the right to erect orbital platforms, establish bases upon the world, or build Sanctuaries from which missionaries might propagate the Faith Eternal.
Orbital Assets:
DKS By the Light of the Holy Fire


The Novoronda Destroyer has been dispatched from Arkhana the Most Blessed to escort the transports that bear the forces of the Royal Armee. From bow to stern, she stretches at least sixteen kilometers in length and nearly one and a half in length. She has been substantially modified to undergo this mission, in order to enhance her stealth capabilities and her survivability.

Kinetic batteries and lances are ever at the ready, to dispatch targets at long-range or deliver crippling broadsides should the party wish to board her. Quad turrets and point defense lasers are present, situated where they might unleash a wall of fire to intercept enemy ordinance and bring down enemy bombers that might venture too close. Granted, with the nature of the mission, this should not be required.

Not for many an age has a vessel of the Great Dread Fleet ventured this far, perhaps this but the prelude to the coming of the Armadas of the Wylid to sweep away the Old Order come again. Regardless, the fact is that the Rammenflieg has been sighted in the Void, with the flow of blood being now inevitable.

Miscellaneous: The Eternal Realm concentrates on overwhelming firepower upon the ground, in order to sweep aside all opposition and to break the enemy's morale. The Regulars of the Royal Army are meant to exploit any gaps made in the enemy line, and attempt to encircle the enemy in order to force their surrender. The shard rifle and the bayonet are utilized, as well as heavy infantry weapons to keep the heads of the enemy down.

Strategic Location Application
CODE: SELECT ALL

Location Name: Hollowland Refinery
Description: It is a crucial refinery and it is near the Prime Elevator. It can be heavily fortified, to repulse the forces of Cobb Larson and their allies. Such would allow for the landing force to gain allies and subjugate those that resist the Great Standard of the Wylid.

Looks mostly fine to me. I just need to clarify the orbital assets you have listed here. You say the destroyer is escorting transports, which seems to be implying multiple transport vessels. How ships, combat and noncombat, do you have exactly? Also, your destroyer seems to be doing a lot of things for a destroyer. Is it a destroyer in the naval sense of being a small escort/fleet support vessel or a stardestroyer in the Star Wars sense of being a battleship-carrier hybrid? Lastly, what is carrying the 80 aircraft that you have?

Ending the conflict as a motivation is a little bit too broad and not specific enough. Please tell me who, if anyone, the United Earth Government is supporting, why the United Earth Government is interested in Sunryria, what it intends to get out of the conflict, and how it intends to get what it wants.

Regarding orbital assets, the current standard is that you can either bring 1 large ship and a noncombat support ship or 2 small ships. If you would like to bring a carrier, please only bring 1.

Regarding ground assets, I just want to clarify that you're bringing 2 brigades and not 2 brigades plus another division.

The Destroyer is akin to a capital ship more than an escort, and has dropships that descend to the surface. Should have clarified that.

The Killercraft are on the Destroyer, as this has been modified to fit multipleroles.

Ah, I see. Capital ships aren't really suitable for this thread. Carriers have a special exception though.

[Royal Frankia]

My bad, let me explain.

It is a standard ship of the line that has been gone over and reworked. It is a transport, a carrier, a gunship, and a factory as well. Its purpose is to slip through a blockade and land forces, without the need to bring a whole squadron.

So, it is more a stealth frigate/carrier/transport than say what might be thought of a standard capital ship.

Its the 1st Brigade of the 21st Marine Division and I will reduce it to 1 carrier as this ship also counts a support ship.

Ah, yes. the good old "It's not a carrier. It's clearly a helicopter destroyer" argument.

Fine. I'll allow it. But I expect it to be played as such.
