[The Fedral Union]

That escalated quickly...

??

Everyone posted being in there or going in there, I decided to follow suit and give a message... I assumed things were about to be underway?

[North Calaveras]

Maybe I should uave brought more forces.... oh well

[The Fedral Union]

Ehh I wouldn't worry about it. The Op will balance things out.

[Nyte]

Hmm... Choices, choices...

I'll probably get my next post up sometime on Sunday or Monday. Although I'd like to wait a bit more so the other people that were accepted can get a post in.

EDIT: I've got your back North Calaveras... Well, at least until I stab the Imperials in the back later on...

I don't like that my newer post is smaller than the one I had yesterday. But It's a post nonetheless.

[Nyte]

My post should be up later on tonight (I'm trying to give others a little bit more time to get a post in). Also, North Calaveras do you want me to send you some back-up? I'd appreciate it if you could let me know some time today preferably if you want me to or not...

Would make an interesting addition, though I did not intend for non-military to get involved. Perhaps you can set up base on the moon of the planet?
However, your people may suffer casualties. The Imperials, though tolerating aid to the rebels, and appreciating aid to themselves, may choose to target the aid if it seems like it gives the rebels a higher advantage.

Accepted.

Don't mean to be a pest, but how 'bout my app?

[Arkotania]

Some background...

The human-centered Benian Empire and reptilian Tnemeden Republic are currently fighting over the Songnam Major system, and since the Tnemeden are native to the Milky Way they outnumber the Benians 4 to 1. Insofar the Benians and their allies the Irons are holding, but they are committing most of their Milky Way forces since they are fighting the Uli in their home galaxy.

However, is has come to the attention of the Imperial Intelligence Office that the Tnemeden may support on side or the other, and hopefully bringing in an ally against the Benians. The Benians therefore seek to support the side they most agree with, the rebels, before the Tnemeden enter the fray (if they ever do). Since the Benians are fighting a two-front war, they can only really send in a division of Marines, who are considered elite troops anyways, but no space forces

As with you, the fate of the Benian forces will play a part in the Milky Way theatre of the Third Uli War, i.e. this is canon for me as well.

Name of Nation: The Benian Empire

Head of State/Government: Emperor Soren Tunner, Empress Shala Tunner

Involved Military Leader(s): Field General Travis Murtaz

Military Forces: ~10,100

Angosian Expeditionary Force, Field General Travis Murtaz commanding

477th Marine Division
-10,000 Imperial Marines
--4567th Regiment
--2901st Regiment
--2883rd Regiment
--980th Regiment
--3670th Regiment

40th Strategic, Tactical, and Orbital Recon Marine (STORMer) Company (100)

Which side?(Rebel or Imperial): Rebel

Short summary of why you choose to support the side you do: The Tnemeden Republic may support the Imperials, because they believe that they can win and gain an ally against the Benians. The Benians are supporting the rebels partly out of desperation for more allies and because they agree with the Rebel's plight.

Any other information you think relevant:
Though the force seems small, the Imperial Marines are highly trained killing machines, capable of turning the tide of battle if used correctly. They can break an enemy offensive or lead one, though they are by no means super-soldiers and are as mortal as any other soldier, despite the imagine that they try to convey. The STORMers in particular are the elite of the elite, capable of direct action as well as commando missions that are almost always a success.

If I'm accepted, can there be a possibility where the Tnemeden enter the war at some point, on the side of the Imperials?

Soryy about that. Missed this.

Accepted. As for your "possibility", yes. Anyone is allowed to make a shift of sides at any point. However note that while the rebels may gladly accept any support, even if the support comes from those who were once enemies, the Imperium will not accept any support from enemy nations that created problems for the Imperium(multiple successes for rebels, destroying of vital Imperium sites and equipment). The only way such a nation could join is if they can provide something that'll make it worth the Imperium's while to risk letting them change to the Imperial side.

[Senkaku]

Name of Nation: Li Qian Zhou (the Qian Empire)
Head of State/Government(list all applicable w/title):
Heads of state: Dowager Empress-Regent Yu-lan
Emperor Xiaolong
Involved Military Leader(s)(I don't expect your president to be standing at the bridge of the flagship of the expedition force...unless that's what you want):
Admiral Chao Zhang, General Kai Chuan
Military Forces(I only expect the actual fighting forces, logistics and support is optional. Note Rule#3):
Xianyang Fleet forces-
21 Jīn Jían battleships
8 Shén Chuí battleships
34 Jīn Guī armored cruisers
9 Army transport-craft
Xianyang Army forces-
17,000 Army combat personnel
1,000 Army support personnel
Xinhan Army forces-
10,000 Army combat personnel
2,000 Army support personnel
Which side?(Rebel or Imperial): Imperial
Short summary of why you choose to support the side you do:
Chao Zhang, Kai Chuan, and Chief Arsenal Magistrate Qin Li-Mei are part of the more liberal, reformist faction at the Imperial court, and have had some success in modernizing portions of the military in recent years, often somewhat covertly via the young Emperor, who is, though too young to assume the throne in his own right, much more liberal than his grandmother the Empress-Regent and possesses considerable influence. This time, however, they have had success in a direct petition to the Empress-Regent, and she has granted Chao Zhang and Kai Chuan a small command, with orders to essentially test their new soldiers and ships. Since it is a relatively minor deployment, in a large nation, supporting the government of that nation, both sides view it as a winning situation. The Empress-Regent believes her commanders will fail and lose much of their new, modern force- which would be fine by her- and the liberal faction at court is also pleased, as they get to flex the muscles of the new Xianyang Fleet.
Any other information you think relevant: The forces under Zhang and Chuan's command are well-trained, but inexperienced in actual combat. Their equipment, while good in terms of Qian military equipment, is usually slightly dated in regards to the rest of the galaxy. Many of them are young, and all are fierce patriots. They are all aware that this is, essentially, a live-fire practice operation, and are eager to see how well they can do.
Zhang and Chuan, meanwhile, while they are at their core politicians, are also both competent commanders, with some experience. They are well-liked by their troops.

All of the Qian high command and the court, including Zhang and Chuan, view this operation as a live-fire test for the new fleet. Its success or failure will become a major factor in coming decisions about the reform and modernization of the military. Because of this, Zhang and Chuan will be fairly cautious with their ships and troops in battle, and will not, unless absolutely forced to do so, carry out a particularly large campaign. Any diplomatic bonuses such as friendlier relations with Arkotania are viewed as a secondary affair.

[Raktio]

My FT nation doesn't have ground based troops (your infantry consists of boarding parties and guards/defenders)

[Nyte]

Oooohhhh. I've been a bad boy.

[The Ben Boys]

What are the names of some of the cities, specifically the one North Calaveras is in? I'm thinking of having my forces engage him and try to break what appears to be a stalemate in that city, as it would be interesting to see a division of what essentially is space marines against these guys.

[Arkotania]

Yeah. Ill be updating the map with city names.

For now, Id suggest just doing your best describing its geographic location, and perhaps tacking on a codename.

Ill be making a post sometime tomorrow, when I get back from work, as well as updating the map with city names(which I shall create during the slower parts of my workday).

[The Ben Boys]

Thanks Ark, much obliged.

Also, who can I refer to as the rebel leader(s) and where can I find some of the main camps? Would like to try and reference them or even interact.

[Raktio]

Is there any sort of space fighting going on in this?

[Nyte]

Is there any sort of space fighting going on in this?

There will be yes. However, the emphasis seems to be on what's happening on the ground.

I suppose I could make some mercenaries until stuff gets to space.

[Nyte]

Go for it. You wouldn't be the only mercenary force in the RP.

[Arkotania]

Thanks Ark, much obliged.

Also, who can I refer to as the rebel leader(s) and where can I find some of the main camps? Would like to try and reference them or even interact.

The settlements are intended to be the main camps.

The current leader is stated in my post, Commander Zanyl Merod(He's the leader of the entire militant branch. The political leaders are still in hiding for the moment).

The OP will be updated(along with the map) with city, settlement and continent names as well as the names of all involved leadership(as a list of reference). For the moment, anything addressed to the rebels will be directed to the commander.

The capital city will fall to the rebels, and that will be one main area that nations can directly interact with the rebels(it's an easy defensible city and once the shields are re-activated, the only way in is through the few entrances the city has, all of which will be heavily fortified).

There will be yes. However, the emphasis seems to be on what's happening on the ground.

I suppose I could make some mercenaries until stuff gets to space.

There will be space battles, but mostly small skirmishes till the situation on the ground settles(AKA one side ends up winning). Then it'll devolve into massive space battles as everyone scrambles to either prevent total domination of the planet, or achieve it.

Which side?(Rebel or Imperial):
Imperial

Short summary of why you choose to support the side you do:
While the SCAF High Command couldn't really careless if the Imperial Planet falls the main reason they are entering into the conflict is so they can control the vital resource facilities who's good are felt even within the Colonies. He who controls the Spice controls the Universe.(really they just have less people)


Any other information you think relevant:
The SC Military are strong advocates of biological and chemical warfare on enemy forces even if they reside within dense population centers.
Kinetic Bombardment is always fun.


*This represents total combat Personnel within the unit and includes everyone from infantrymen to tankers to Artillery men.
** These units represent an overall strategic reserve with forces that will not be deployed planet side unless major events or protracted battles are underway
