Across the Blue Pacific (OOC, Planning, MT, App, Open)

Setting: The Year is 2019, and a variation of Smallpox, known as The Red Plague, has quickly spread across the planet and decimated the world's population. The outbreak simply didn't just blow over. Over two billion people died within the first year of the outbreak, mostly in undeveloped areas in Africa. However, the Virus continued to spread into Eurasia and South America until most of the continent was infected in some shape or form. Governments collapsed and anarchy now reigns across most of the formerly "civilized" world. American researchers, after months of research and quarantines, eventually developed a vaccine. However, with the collapse of most of the other world's governments, an executive decision was made to effectively hoard the vaccine to itself and a few of the nation's closest allies. With the OS and its allies producing and hoarding the world's supply of the vaccine, many members of the world's former Navies have turned to effectively becoming pirates in attempts to seize and hold supplies of the Vaccine. Our story will begin the largest of the World's oceans, the Pacific.

Factions:

OS Pacific Command (OSPACOM) is a Unified Combatant Command responsible for the Pacific Ocean area of operations. Pacific Command is the largest of the OS's remaining Military forces left in the world, and has since effectively absorbed the remainder of the Japanese Self Defense Force, the OS Coast Guard, and the most of the former Royal Quebecadian Navy into its ranks. It remains a large and formidable force, having assisted OS NORCOM in the restoration of law and order along with distribution of the vaccine on the OS and Quebecadian West Coasts and JSDF in areas of Japan. However, it finds itself undermanned from before its pre-outbreak strength, with many of its ships (particularly those in Carrier Strike Groups 11 and 9 having been infected or relegated to dry dock respectively).

ORBAT:
-Carrier Strike Group 1 (OSS Ulysses S. Grant)
-Carrier Strike Group 3 (OSS John F. Kennedy)
-Carrier Strike Group 5 (OSS Enterprise)
-Submarine Group 7
-Submarine Group 9
-OSNS Mercy
-Expeditionary Strike Group 7
-III Marine Expeditionary Force (OSMC)
-I Marine Expeditionary Force (OSMC)
-OS Forces Japan
-98th Infantry Division (OS Army)
-5th Air Force (OSAF)
-11th Air Force (OSAF)
-Remainder of 13th Air Force (OSAF)
-Remaining Elements of JSDF
-Parts of the Royal Quebecadian Navy

Territory:
OS West Coast (California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and certain Areas of Canada)
Pacific Commonwealth (Guam, Northern Marianas Islands, American Samoa, Okinawa and the Ryuku Islands)
Hawaiian Commonwealth (Hawaii, OS Minor Outlying Islands)
Leader(s):
President Adam Fowler (former Speaker of the House)
SecDef. James Garfield
Admiral Roland Garrison, Commander, OSPACOM

The Tigers is the collective name for a group of primarily Russian and Chinese Naval officers and sailors turned pirates. They are the largest and most well-organized band of pirates in the Pacific, controlling almost the entire South China Sea and slowly making inroads into the Eastern Pacific and Indian Ocean. They currently maintain the second largest fleet of aircraft behind OSPACOM and remain the number one threat to Vaccine distribution in the Asia-Pacific Region.

ORBAT:
1 Huebei-class Aircraft Carrier (PLAN)
24 Type 52D Guided Missile Destroyers (PLAN)
2 Type 52B Guided Missile Destroyers (PLAN)
6 Sovremennyy-Class Guided Missile Destroyers (4 PLAN, 2 Russian Navy)
16 Type 54A Frigates (PLAN)
1 Type 54 Frigate (PLAN)
4 Type 53 Frigates (PLAN)
21 Type 56 Corvettes (PLAN)
19 Type 22 Missile Boats (PLAN)
1 Slava Class Cruiser (Russian Navy)
3 Udaloy I Class Destroyers (Russian Navy)
2 Leader Class Destroyers (Russian Navy)
4 Kilo-Class Submarines (Russian Navy)
3 Akula-Class Submarines (Russian Navy)
1 Oscar II Class Submarine (Russian Navy)
1 Borei Class Submarine (Russian Navy)
1st Marine Brigade (PLAN)
1st Carrier Air Group (PLAN)

Territory:
Vladivostok
Hainan Island
Paracel Islands
Spratly Islands

Leader(s):
Vice Admiral Chen Jūn


The QDF is the remains of Australia's and New Zealand, roughly aligned with OSPACOM as to remove the Tigers as a threat to the distribution of the vaccine and open up the rest of the South Pacific to civilization. The Queensland Defense Force is the smallest of the factions in the Pacific, but remains a formidable force.

ORBAT:
4 Hobart-Class Destroyers (RPFN, RAN)
1 Canberra Class Amphibious Assault Ship (RPFN)
2 Collins Class Submarines (RAN)
3 Anzac Class Frigates (RNZN)
No.1 Squadron, RAAF
No.6 Squadron, RAAF
No.33 Squadron, RAAF
No.36 Squadron, RAAF
3rd Brigade (Australian Army)
16th Aviation Brigade (Australian Army)
7th Brigade (Australian Army)

I just got caught up on The Last Ship, so I'm so stoked for this! :) ... Even better is that this is taking place in the Pacific Ocean, as my World Map location puts me just west of Vancouver Island. Okay, so here's my thoughts on how I could fit into this RP:

1. Kingdom of Aigéantir as an ally to OS: Following the spread of the Red Plague, Aigéantir was one of the few countries to enter into a joint agreement with the OS to seek a cure to the plague. Either my navy falls under OSPACOM, and therefore works closely as an ally of OS for the benefit of access to the cure, and protection from Russia/China... or my navy is independent but allied with OSPACOM, and my nation has become heavily isolationist, not trusting others, and only somewhat trusting the OS, at least enough to work with them.

2. Republic of Aigéantir as an independent: After the loss of many lives, the nation lost faith in the government, and permanently abolished the monarchy. After some difficulty in restoring peace, a leader has emerged, who has managed to create a relatively stable community, though this has been done with great sacrifice. My nation will be more depopulated, and there will be areas and safe zones where some communities are growing and being re-established, while the masses are left to fend for themselves outside of these communities. Only certain people of strategic value or importance may be saved the fate of infection and death. Think a combination of Baltimore in The Last Ship and Crawford from The Walking Dead Game.

3. Empire of Aigéantir as an enemy to OSPACOM (May or may not be allied with The Tigers): Following the infection, one of the more ambitious monarchs took control, and established total dominance and order over the population. This worked to stop the riots, but did not stop the disease. A drug to temporarily halt the progression of the disease was created, but to ensure stability within the nation, the leader has insisted on raiding OS labs and supply runs in an attempt to cure the populace, and keep power by presenting an image of a saviour of the nation to the masses. There could be a possibility here of either working as a Tiger base, or an ally to The Tigers. If doing this independently, I'd have one more twist in there, which I don't want to reveal quite yet.

Anyways, that was some of the ways I could fit myself in there. I am an island nation, with an emphasis on naval presence, so let me know if you'd prefer to have me as an ally or not! ;)

1 is certainly appealing, but 2 simply seems more interesting. Now, in terms of Baltimore, what would be the more dominant faction, the more AVOCET/Granderson-type of people or the Warlord's Baltimore?

Keep in mind that the Tigers in my imagination are similar to the Huns, basically. They'd be very much like the Vyerni, for lack of a better term, but they wouldn't be inclined to share the cure with who they see as a threat.

Well, those in power would be the AVOCET/Granderson-type... a perfect utopia among the ashes, death, and destruction around them. The general disregard and lack of care for the common man would go against anyone who's playing a highly dutiful, moralistic outlook. I'd probably have infighting, but for the most part they'd be able to keep the peace through fear and an imposed class system on those deemed less than desirable. They could have work camps and such instead of pushing the unwanted people underground. I was thinking of taking it a step further by having it that only people of a certain age and ability could remain within their community (healthy, active, young - middle-aged individuals, with desirable education and skill sets; they'd get rid of the elderly, the disabled, the weak, and anyone not pulling their own weight).

For 3, I guess I will reveal my secret... the nation searches for the cure to take for itself, and give to its people, or so they say. Ultimately those in charge will get it first, but there are other reasons for the hostile actions: 1) The materials for the drug to halt the disease will not last forever in Aigéantir, and so even if the raids fail to find the cure, it's incentive for those sick, and somewhat enslaved due to reliance on the drug to acquire more materials to produce more of the drug. 2) Expansionism in a world where most nations are heavily depopulated and do not have a cohesive way to defend themselves or their people. The leader of the nation doesn't want his people to get better. He realizes the much more lucrative and practical application of a slave army/navy, that is willing to attack other nations all for the promise of a cure, that will ultimately only go to those in power. I suppose they'd operate differently than The Tigers, but the slave army's/navy's desperation and willingness to do anything to accomplish their mission makes them a formidable foe.

Very interesting. Honestly, I think that you being an independent faction would be the most interesting way to go about this. Perhaps as an Enemy both to the Tigers and PACOM would spur some potential collaboration between the two? If you've gathered enough material to be a threat to both PACOM and the Tigers, it could totally throw off both of the sides' differences, resulting in a temporary and uneasy truce, which then could break out into full scale war again, of course. :lol:

This Slave Army concept sounds quite interesting.

Sorry, bro. I needed Kitsap. It's the only base on the West Coast with a Dry dock large enough for muh carriers.

I have two options for you, I could give you a ship and you could run wild with it. Or, you'd RP one of the newer factions (like the Mexican Cartels now ruling Central and South America or this Tasmanian Defense Force I've been thinking about).

Fix the App. Change the names of the ships whose names seem frankly inappropriate, and give me a link or write something of decent length and content on the RP sample area.

And just as a note, Battleships are largely useless.

I was thinking of taking it a step further by having it that only people of a certain age and ability could remain within their community (healthy, active, young - middle-aged individuals, with desirable education and skill sets; they'd get rid of the elderly, the disabled, the weak, and anyone not pulling their own weight).

For 3, I guess I will reveal my secret... the nation searches for the cure to take for itself, and give to its people, or so they say. Ultimately those in charge will get it first, but there are other reasons for the hostile actions: 1) The materials for the drug to halt the disease will not last forever in Aigéantir, and so even if the raids fail to find the cure, it's incentive for those sick, and somewhat enslaved due to reliance on the drug to acquire more materials to produce more of the drug. 2) Expansionism in a world where most nations are heavily depopulated and do not have a cohesive way to defend themselves or their people. The leader of the nation doesn't want his people to get better. He realizes the much more lucrative and practical application of a slave army/navy, that is willing to attack other nations all for the promise of a cure, that will ultimately only go to those in power. I suppose they'd operate differently than The Tigers, but the slave army's/navy's desperation and willingness to do anything to accomplish their mission makes them a formidable foe.

Very interesting. Honestly, I think that you being an independent faction would be the most interesting way to go about this. Perhaps as an Enemy both to the Tigers and PACOM would spur some potential collaboration between the two? If you've gathered enough material to be a threat to both PACOM and the Tigers, it could totally throw off both of the sides' differences, resulting in a temporary and uneasy truce, which then could break out into full scale war again, of course. :lol:

This Slave Army concept sounds quite interesting.

Welp, looks like I'mma be AltOS again.

I'm always AltOS....

Sorry, bro. I needed Kitsap. It's the only base on the West Coast with a Dry dock large enough for muh carriers.

I have two options for you, I could give you a ship and you could run wild with it. Or, you'd RP one of the newer factions (like the Mexican Cartels now ruling Central and South America or this Tasmanian Defense Force I've been thinking about).

Hey. ;)

Regarding factions, I was thinking about basing them off real-life politics currently, we have an American faction, a Chinese/Russian alliance, a EU group, some sort of coalition between the smaller nations like Australia and New Zealand- hell, we could assume Britain backed out from the EU and formed its own British Empire fleet. And of course, you can't forget about the Midle-East/Africa or any religious groups.

Yeah, unfortunately, most of Eruasia is dead. So the British are really the only people I assumed might be around in Europe.

I removed the carrier as well as one amphib, one cruiser, and one destroyer. I added one supply ship as well as a passenger liner to the TF. Let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns, hioes, fears, dreams, aspirations, etc.

OS, If you'd prefer me to be independent, then independent it is! Being that I'm independent, and have a fair amount of control, is there a cap on number of ships I can have, or am I allowed to have as many as I currently have at maximum, possibly crewed with fewer people (depending on my whole slave soldier concept and all)? Currently I'm going with a lot less ships. Currently only 11 or so fully crewed ships.... Hey, you wanted me to be a threat, right? :)
