From the desk of the Grand Marshal of the UDAF:


Greetings from the United Dominion,

The United Dominion would like to known if the production rights for a few of your products are open to the world. We find it easier to buy the production rights then make massive orders because of the factories of my father’s company, TWI. Below will be a list of the product we would like to purchase.

Production rights for LY46 'Hellhammer' .50cal handgun
Production rights for Lyran LY1002 'Hellsbreath' thermobaric hand grenade
Production rights for LY4A1 Wolfhound MBT

Get back to us when you can.

Signed,
Crown Prince Khaldun
The Grand Marshal of the United Dominion Armed Forces

Leafanistan
TO: Senate of the Glorious Republic of Leafanistan
FROM: Lyran Governmental Trade Department

RE: Production and development

With respect to the Senate, the Senators, and those who look to them in trust

Your request has thusly been forwarded to the Protectorate Research and Development Commission, who will commence their development shortly, of that I have no doubt. While I cannot give a time frame for their endeavours, rest assured that the work will be completed.

United States of PA
TO: Pennsylvania Defence Ministry
FROM: Lyran Governmental Trade Department

RE: Multiple item DPR Request

You have our deepest apologies for our error. We had looked up the wrong nation for your clearance codes and authorisation and have found that you do indeed have an exemption allowing you access to the –C variants of the LY908. As such, that purchase, for 3,000 of them, is accepted, at the stated price of NS$330bn.

Your ensuing purchase order, for;
10,000,000 Helios II ATGMs-$1.05568 Trillion
50,000 Warshroud Nettings
2 TRA-92 Eiko Attack Helicopters
5,000,000 LDPU Sets

is also accepted, at a price of NS$1055.68bn. A convoy will sail before the week is out, for direct delivery to your ports.

Further, Lyran orbital reconnaissance has determined that you have mothballed one of your Longsword-class ships. Given our projections and estimates, we ascribe this as likely due to lack of funds for maintenance.

We think it is a tremendous shame to be unable to utilise such a vessel, and thus make NS$100bn hereby available to you, so as to put it afloat, armed, and flying the Pennsylvanian ensign, once more.

The Holy Empire of Anemos Major
TO: Lord First Marshal Yrenthis, Holy Empire of Anemos Major
FROM: Lyran Governmental Trade Department

RE: LY4A2 acquisition and Fyrkondierikan Mountain Infantry

Lord First Marshal

We acknowledge the ongoing need to preserve one’s honour, and thus bow to your request to lodge full payment for the LY4A2s purchased.

We also note your desire to acquire an Ironheart Heavy Division, and gladly approve the purchase. The extensive aerospace assets that come with that formation will doubtlessly prove popular amongst your army aviation forces.

The Holy Office of War is indeed correct concerning the exchange of personnel. We thusly, in humility, accept your proffered formation, drawn from the elite Fyrkondierikan Mountain Infantry, and in turn lodge an offer of our own.

After consultations with Executive Command, Training Command, and the senior echelons of the 2nd Order, the decision has been reached to offer you a division for use for training your forces, in the role of an OPFOR formation. This division will be, after a period of two or three years, rotated out, and another provided in its place. Of course, should you require more… direct… services of the division in-theatre, that is entirely acceptable.

Logistics and technical support will be sourced through the 2nd Order, under Order-Marshal Ward. The first unit up on rotation is the 8th (Wolfspiders) Heavy Mechanised Division. They are considered very highly within the Protectorate. It was this unit that Colonel Natasha Krell assumed command of during the Lyran intervention in the Verenberg Civil War, and, upon her so doing, the 8th destroyed five enemy divisions in three days of heavy fighting on the outskirts of Kaiserhaven.

The Fyrkondierikan Mountain Infantry you have sent us will see combat, but will, in all likelihood, see interaction with Lyrans more so. Our experience in mountain warfare, while extant, is likely less developed than that of this formation and, that being the case, we would wish to impart that knowledge to our forces in the most effective way we can.

Stand undaunted

Transeden
TO: Councillor Johannes Augustsen, Military Council of the Free Land of Transeden
FROM: Lyran Governmental Trade Department

RE: Use of force

The Free Land has been, for as long as we of Lyras have known of your existence, a model of responsible use of natural resources, and a benchmark for the concept of peaceful co-existence. It is, in many respects, a shame that you have come to us asking this question, although we applaud your pragmatism in so doing.

War has been one of very few constants in human history. That same history has shown, repeatedly, that those not prepared to undertake warfare oftentimes have it thrust upon them, regardless. Your decision to make preparations for possible conflict will, in our opinion, go some way to securing your country’s future, in and of themselves.

Further information is required. We therefore request permission to send an investigative and consultative detachment to Transeden to get a better knowledge of the situation on the ground.

Mokastana
TO: Generalissimo Ivan Canarias, Mokastana Military Headquarters, Juventud Island
FROM: Lyran Governmental Trade Department

RE: Small arms, aircraft, Skyguard and warships

Sir

It is with pleasure that we receive this communication from you, it has been too long. We are glad that the request, while serious and covering serious issues, is not scented with fear, despair or desperation. It was not so long ago that our forces fought side by side, and the rebellions against your government were put down.

Authorisation to acquire ‘Dauntless’, Skyguard and Warhawk –C is granted. Far be it from any to be able to claim that we allow our friends and allies to make do with second rate hardware.

As discussed via more private channels, we wholeheartedly agree with your decision to go with the HILAR. The capability upgrade that it represents will, we feel, be appreciated by your troops tremendously.

We are saddened to hear of your issues regarding piracy, and have a suggestion.

Do not purchase 1000 frigates. That will be a considerable degree of overkill. Acquire 500, and use the Warhawks you have purchased as long-range patrols. 1000 high-speed, very long endurance and well-networked aircraft will provide response times second to none, and cost considerably less to maintain than an equivalent number of ships, not that I for a second assert that ships are not helpful. Either way, it is, of course, your call, but that would be my suggestion. If you wish, I can forward your piracy issues to Executive Command, who can analyse the issue and get back to you.

Special Forces Detachment 1, 7th Order, showcase a good cross-section of Lyran infantry equipment. Any of that, as per your determination about which is best, would work, as would any rendition you care to provide of any person or persons within Lyras. Warmarshal Krell (if you can dig up enough on him :P), Colonel Krell, Order-Marshal Lambert, etc, are all persons that would possibly be in contact with your personnel, and they'd fit in with any imagery you care to provide quite nicely.

Cheers for the creative thought.

OOC: Well, the skis are really a matter of the terrain Anemonian mountain troops are trained on; sure, it snows in Fyrkondierikan, but the area is so craggy that most of it is spent climbing. Which means you can use them to teach your SF troops a great deal about rock climbing indeed.

Right, so they use Anemonian standard equipment, with the exception of their weaponry... sorry, there are no pics for the BALCOTH, so you're going to have to make do with an Anemonian TEC-015 (1/2) Airborne Combat Helmet (they're easier to look around in, and are significantly lighter).

Here's an example of one of these helmets...

Nachmere Armed Forces | 101st Special Orders Group


The 101st Special Orders Group is a brigade sized force trained and armed for special operations in Nachmere and anywhere else. While most units in the NAF can use standard equipment, and are usually obliged to buying local made equipment, SOG 101 is allowed to purchase virtually any piece of equipment it requires, from any source.
We at the 101st SOG wish to order several of your products. While our order numbers are small, we are loyal customers and will return to you with other needs in the future.
We wish to purchase:

1)3000XLycos Combatant Machete- 300,000 NSD
2)10,000 Mamba Tactical Boots- 2,000,000 NSD
3)10,000 type 3 Blacktalon Combat Gloves- 800,000 NSD
4)10,000 type 4 Blacktalon Combat Gloves- 800,000 NSD
5)100.000 Multispectral Disruptive Pattern Camouflage Uniform- in the following patterns:
6)40,000 Woodland Camo | 30,000 Snow Camo | 30,000 Desert Camo – 8,000,000 NSD
7)250 LY46 Hellhammer .50 Pistols- 375,000 NSD

Total sum- 12,275,000 NSD

8)We are also interested in the purchase of 1200 BALCOTH helmets for 42,000,000 NSD. We realize the sensitive nature of this system, but considering the small size of the order and the small group of people to be exposed to the system, we urge you to consider it.

Should you confirm the sale of BALCOTH helmets, the total sum would be:
54,275,000 NSD
Thank you for your time.

RE: Longsword

Minister

The United Coalition's order for a single Longsword-class supercapital is accepted, as is the proposed payment plan. The vessel will take approximately 18 months to construct, and will be delivered within one NS month after that. Shakedown trials will be undertaken under Coalition control, although Lyran technical staff will be on hand to ensure optimal transfer of important maintenance and system architectural information.

If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are, after all, here to serve.

FROM: Lyran Governmental Trade Department

RE: Multiple item DPR Request

You have our deepest apologies for our error. We had looked up the wrong nation for your clearance codes and authorisation and have found that you do indeed have an exemption allowing you access to the –C variants of the LY908. As such, that purchase, for 3,000 of them, is accepted, at the stated price of NS$330bn.

Your ensuing purchase order, for;
10,000,000 Helios II ATGMs-$1.05568 Trillion
50,000 Warshroud Nettings
2 TRA-92 Eiko Attack Helicopters
5,000,000 LDPU Sets

is also accepted, at a price of NS$1055.68bn. A convoy will sail before the week is out, for direct delivery to your ports.

Further, Lyran orbital reconnaissance has determined that you have mothballed one of your Longsword-class ships. Given our projections and estimates, we ascribe this as likely due to lack of funds for maintenance.

We think it is a tremendous shame to be unable to utilise such a vessel, and thus make NS$100bn hereby available to you, so as to put it afloat, armed, and flying the Pennsylvanian ensign, once more.

To-Lyran Arms

That is of no issue, we just wanted to make sure that there was no mistake.


Now, as for the Longsword, it is true that we have had to recently mothball the oringinal one we purchased due to a recent downturn of the economy and the fear of a lack of Military Funds to keep both in operation as well as enough of the rest of our Navy, Marines, Army and Air Force to cover all of our territory. We will gladly take the 100 Billion, and use them to keep the Longsword in operation until our budget increase again, though it may spend a good deal of time in Harbor to save operational Funds.


OOC:How did you find out about the USS Lyras, < < > >
That being said, im tempted to actually roleplay as still having my old Military budget from before that bullshit issue. lost 6 Trillion is defense funds with a 40% increase in spending. Ah, i'll just take the funds out of UDS Revenue :)
In other words, conservatives are generous with their own money, and liberals are generous with other peoples money.

OOC: Aye. Not indefinitely, but as an interim measure, yes. We can handle that for at least two or three years before it starts to hurt. At that point we'd probably have to look at bringing some funds back from overseas (profits from Lyran Arms are actually NOT directed back to Lyras, but rather reinvested overseas... the return on investment over time, as you would imagine is astronomical), but it's certainly doable.
