If you go online to certain US web pages, you will find budget lists for classified and secure government projects in various fields. Next to each project name, is the exact amount used to fund it in that fiscal period.

Best of luck figuring out what Essential Temple, Steady Rhinestone, Pilot Fish and others are supposed to mean, though.
Players who complain about the inexperience of newcomers, but will only take part in an RP if it is closed, are a HUGE part of the problem they are complaining about.

Yes, the development of the FAB-9A Shadowknight stealth bomber was highly classified. In fact, the public did not know of its existence until about two years ago, when a spike in "UFO" sightings in the vicinity of Villa Island called for a government reaction. Hence, they released some photos of the new aircraft. Here is the Shadowknight.

We have a variety of black projects, many of them have leaked, but we cannot tell you exactly what they are. Some of the name are exotic extremophile research, stealth technologies and high altitude hybrid airship bombers, Heim-Droscher theory space test, molten objects and electromagnetism, space alloy applications, muscle suits, jungle optical camouflage, ionized plasma speed in particle physics as it relates to nanobattery ultracapacitors and ball lightning, The OESW (Office of Economic and Special Warfare) and DMH (Department of Mental Health) special insurgent soldier screening and selection program, and others.

Since modern 'black projects' are highly classified, we will share a project of ours from 2019.

The Ares-XII Nuclear Warhead is a massive, plutonium-fed bomb capable of flattening entire nations with an explosive force of nearly three gigatons. Hidden tests on the opposite side of the third Moon showed a blast radius of over 300 miles. Building one of these bombs costs over 10 billion Volmarks, but Volmachtia had produced nearly 800 of them by 2047, when six were used to obliterate the Boschemian Collective and Jammeridan Unity.

Stolitland's Defense Department is largely privatized. For the most part, whenever we develop something important or do something of great strategic importance, a press release is distributed to the major news outlets. This makes it quite difficult to perform a black op.

Thus, we don't perform any black operations.

That's not to say strange stuff doesn't happen. We've had several terrorist attacks over the years. The terrorist organizations make an attack, state their demands, and insist that if their demands aren't met, further attacks will follow. The terrorist cells then just disappear, for the most part. There has never been a third attack from an organization, and only once was there a second attack. Sometimes they hit our population centers; other times, oil refineries and other targets of high value to the economy.

Some people camping in the desert swear that they uncovered a mass grave filled with members of a particular cell, each member having been executed with a single shot to the back of the head. We were very interested in why this happened, so we quickly took possession of the bodies and all the evidence, analyzed it, and determined that these were not the terrorists. We then quickly destroyed the clothing and bodies, as a safety precaution. The blood attracts all sorts of pathogens and bacteria, of course. We were just looking out for everyone's safety.

We don't know why these people keep disappearing. It's not us, of course. We believe in due process. It's just uncanny. Someone should look into that. Maybe.

Yes we have done many "black" projects in the development of new aircraft, weapons, ships, missiles, nuclear weapons, biological weapons, etc. They have been classically known as rat projects because of the secrecy surrounding them and what happens to people who talk. During the 1980s a new stealth fighter was being developed one of the designers said something and was reported to the DoD who had him executed on charges of treason, and releasing secured information.

There *ahem* might have been a few tiny experiments on soldiers in the Enhanced Combat Humanoid Operations program. Synthetic fibers woven into bones and muscles, muscle density to increase strength, perfect vision and hearing, faster reflexes, various transhuman brain implants...you know, nothing major. At least, not on the surface, they're not hulking Space Marines.

Other than that, our Skunk Works pretty much focuses on more conventional R&D. Classified only for national security reasons, rather than difficult ethical/moral grounds.

Operation Backstep is a program, using the element Unobtanium from a meteorite in Slovitrea, to "fold" the fabric of space-time and allow forwards, backwards, and even sideways (parallel universes) time travel. At the time, only one incident has the program been successful, but it resulted in the complete irradiation of the Arabat island, and causing a mysterious area where space-time seems to be manipulated or even opened up, by the aftereffects of the experiment.

Another operation, Sentinel, involves a reported UFO crash on the dark side of the moon, and the reported secret missions there to cover up the crash-site's existence. No true evidence has originated about this topic, but odd energy spikes occur on the moon every once in a while, lighting it up with an eerie blue glow.

A more conventional project, SkyFire, was the plan to develop a new, supersonic stealth bomber with VTOL capability, in the early 21st century. The SkyFire prototypes were responsible for many of the odd "triangle UFO" sightings throughout the world.

Although His mortal brain is hidden away in an undisclosed location, He only plans to keep it for a "just in case" scenario. Consequently, any body He does appear to be inhabiting is merely an electro-mechanical representation of himself. Due to the limitations of the human mind, He can currently only consciously control one body at a time, but is able to switch freely between them on a whim.

In 1976, the Gallan Royal Air Force began a series of test programmes seeking to develop a high-altitude, long-range bomber powered by nuclear engines. The project was kept in the dark and off budget lists for several years, as the mission profile changed from a high-altitude nuclear bomber to one capable of carrying both nuclear weapons, and air-to-air munitions, with provisions for ECM. By 1983, over $20 billion had been put into the program, and several working prototype engines, and two mockups had been prepared. In 1985, budget overruns and costs began to sully the perceived effectiveness in the nearly decade-long programme; however the GRAF pressed on with the project and by 1987 nearly $24 billion had been poured into something that both Parliament and the Imperial Family derided as gross negligence. It would be nearly two years before the Air Force received vindication.

In late Fall of 1989, the YB-76 was unveiled on national television. The prototype aircraft featured four massive, closed-cycle nuclear powered ramjets, and six turbojets for takeoff, landing, and cruising. It was said, by the RAF, to be capable of evading most anti-aircraft through a combination of low altitude dash, and advanced ECM. The only aircraft capable of intercepting the YB-76 at altitude would be the American-designed YF-12 Blackbird, and possibly the Soviet MiG-25. Classified tests supposedly showed that the aircraft was capable of speed in excess of Mach 3.3, making it the fastest known bomber of its day.

In 1990, procurement for 250 B-76s at a total of $882 million a piece, despite Parliamentary grumblings, was approved. By 1995, all 250 aircraft had been delivered and were serviced at Gallan bases across the country.

As of 2016, several B-76s have been lost in accidents, and only two have ever been deployed in combat against a foreign country, both in late 1992.

On March 14th, 1999, a B-76 was reported as suffering a "catastrophic" engine failure, including fires in engines two and three that spread radioactive particles across a 400km tract of land in Southern Galla. The automatic halon fire extinguishers failed to function, and the automatic crew ejection capsule safely deployed, landing 52km southwest of Whippet Naval Base. The aviators were recovered by SH-3 Sea King helicopters of the Royal Navy within thirty minutes. The aircraft hit the water at Mach 2.7, completely disintegrating on impact. The remains were later found by a deep sea dive team in 2004 and the onboard nuclear weapons and engines, which had been lying at a depth of 2,000 feet, were recovered by salvage and taken for decommissioning.

December 13th, 2001, two B-76s were on a photo shoot with the Gallan Air Force, flying at 2,000 feet, when they encountered a large flock of seagulls that had somehow managed to position itself in the path of the aircraft. Several birds were sucked into the intakes of the lead B-76's turbojets, which suffered internal damage and aircraft began to lose altitude. As debris and burnt feathers poured out from the smoking aircraft, the automatic ejection system activated and the jet plane plummeted. At this point, the second B-76 had already sucked in multiple pieces of metal and more birds, and also began to go down. This, however, was not the end of it. One of the two trailing F-15s began to climb to a higher altitude, taking in a seagull at the same time, and turning hard to the right. This brought the F-15 close to the massive intakes of the B-76, leading to it be drawn into the aircraft. Several engines of the B-76 were torn out of the frame, the nuclear ramjets fractured and exploded as the fuel tanks erupted in flame, and the crew ejection capsule launched itself from the stricken plane as radioactive dust and fumes engulfed the rest of the flight. Thirty two aviators died a month later from acute radiation sickness. Fourteen had to be sedated upon landing and discovery that their aircraft, in absence of the sun, would be mistaken for supernovae.

The B-76 bomber is still in operation.

And despite the awesomeness of a nuclear ramjet powered bomber, this post is entirely not serious tbh.

Several Black Projects are currently under development by our government, although we are not at liberty to disclose their exact details. The following is a sample list containing our most major Black Projects and what they concern themselves with:

Quantum Universe - concerned with manipulation of matter and gravity
Blazing Trail - concerned with space exploration and colonization
Skyfire - concerned with space combat
Blinding Luminescence - concerned with the creation of a Dyson Energy Sphere
Hotel Bravo - concerned with Xanicea's preservation after a global disaster

To: The the person that has requested information

Your request for information on our Black Book projects titled "Sentient Program", "Operation Clementine", "Alpha Site", "Discovery Program", and the "God's Speed Formula" has been Denied, unfortunately all of these projects are currently Classified and will be for quite some time. However there is a Project that I can release information about, since it isn't technically goverment property. I have been constructing a new type of Naval Ship that seems to be outdated, but with our success in the "Discovery Program" It will change the course of certain events. Unfortunately it's still under construction so I can't release full details. All I can reveal however is that it will be Dominant in deliver destruction and liberation to Land, Sea, and Air. In due time more information may be released.

Chunc as a nation is pretty black ops. It tries not to be mentioned on other nation's literature or maps (and has sent assassin squads to kill those known to be researching it).

Assassination-for-hire is considered to be an export industry and is taxed.

Little is known internationally of anything Chunc does. It imports materials and equipment through infiltrators in other nation's trade networks and exports products using the same.
Chunc is: Futuretech. Non-serious or semi-serious. Near-human species dominated. Fantasy.

Please ignore any comments made by me IC, if the above does not fit your RP characteristics.
