A Chance Encounter (Semi open/OOC/Sign ups)

[Washington Resistance Army]

Humanity, a powerful race and the rulers of the Milky Way galaxy. Ten thousand years ago the Emperor of Mankind launched the Great Crusade and began to reunite all of mankind’s lost colonies. Though many worlds were brought back into contact with one another, a large number of human inhabited worlds still exist throughout the galaxy waiting to be discovered. In the Imperialis Majoris sector of the Ultima Segmentum portion of the galaxy, a long since forgotten world has been uncovered by an Imperial fleet and contact will soon take place. Will you long for independence, or will you bring the wayward planet into the Emperor’s light?

Hiya, I’m WRA and I’m one of the High Lords of the Imperium of Man alliance/RP group. The premise of this RP is a small fleet from the Imperium of Man stumbling upon a human world in the MT timeframe and trying to bring them into the greater Empire. Naturally, the denizens of said world probably won’t like that idea and will resist. Anyone is free to join as a nation on the planet (no it doesn’t have a name yet) and IoM members can join and send forces to partake in the pacification campaign. Applications below. If you have an RP nation that's MT I would recommend using it as it would make things easier for us all Map will be made soon, someone be cool and make it for me

Rules
Standard NS rules, you know the drill
Myself as well as the other High Lords are OP and Co-OP
Be realistic, both sides will have advantages and disadvantages in this
No one liners, at least try to have a paragraph

For balance and to prevent a stomp, Imperial forces are limited to ten Imperial Guard Regiments per Imperial player. Equal to 100,000 troops for each of us if we max it out, contact me if you plan on bringing things such as Titans or Astartes. Reinforcements can arrive, but will take time.

[Ardavia]

Awesome. Here's my app.

Commander: Lady-General Loranne Rook
Number of ships: 2 Lunar-class Cruisers
Military forces: A single Astra Militarum Armoured Regiment with 10 000 men, two 5-man Tactical Marine Squads of the Iron Shades Chapter.

You know you're accepted, Organized States and UMN will post apps for the MT nations when they get up so we already have two nations on the ground. I'll get a roster up in a minute.

[Ardavia]

Going to go into a little bit of detail on my forces here.

The Ardavian Seventy-Sixth Armoured Regiment has 10 000 men and fields, as the Armoured Regiment it is, a lot of tanks and other vehicles. Leman Russ', Chimeras, Sentinels, the occasional Rhino, etc. As Militarum forces from a system with a Forge World, they are well equipped and armed, and also field the local Leman Russ Destructor, a Russ fitted with a Flamestorm cannon. Fielding nearly a thousand vehicles, the Seventy-Sixth Regiment is a formidable force capable of taking on most anything the galaxy can throw at them.

The accompanying Astartes squads are selected from the veteran First Company, and outfitted with some of the Chapter's oldest and most venerable wargear. Operating as Tactical Marines, for maximum flexibility in their roles, these Astartes are there to take on anything that's too tough for the Guard to handle alone. Each squad is outfitted with normal Godwyn-pattern Bolters, one plasma cannon for anti-armour, and one flamer used by the Brother-Sergeant. The veteran Brother-Sergeant of each squad is outfitted with artificer armour, and these Tactical Squads are some of the best the Chapter can provide.

100% approved, now with more Baneblade.

[Jinwoy]

This seems like an interesting premise. So, here's my app:

Nation Name: the Republic of Arenvite (Formerly Nova-Evenstotia)
Capital city: Neverastol (City 01)
Head of State: Marcus Sterling III ("Comrade Premier")
Form of Government: Totalitarian Dictatorship
Military Size (Active and Reserves): ~500,000 - ~2,000,000
Population: ~321 Million
Nuclear Arsenal (if any): 6 nuclear weapons with international reaching, with intention to greatly expand
Language: Local English

I'm in the mood of a country placed on the brink of an awakening when an massive external threat comes in.

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

I'll be watching this closely.

[Ardavia]

So, when's an IC coming?

EDIT: Also, I'm guessing orbital bombardment is out? Because that would essentially be nuking the enemy, considering the effective power of lance battery bombardment.

[Mefpan]

Application(Imperium Independent but Imperium-aligned):
Commander: Councilor-General Sanne Reik
Number of ships: 1x Huntress Class Cruiser (Point Defense-focused), 2x Geisha Class Frigate (Ground Support-focused) (Note: To ascertain the strength of non-Imperial vessels, imagine them one size class smaller than stated here)
Military forces:
- 1st "Death Leopards" Tankers Regiment ( -ELITE- Armored, 500 vehicles, roughly 5,000 troops)
- 6th "Ghosts" Tankers Regiment ( -ELITE- Armored, 500 vehicles, roughly 5,000 troops)
- 334th Schützen Regiment (Stormtroopers, roughly 6,000 troops)
- 358th Schützen Regiment (Stormtroopers, roughly 6,000 troops)
- 666th "To Hell and Back""Schützen ( -ELITE- Stormtroopers, roughly 5,000 troops)
- 7th "Eisenkreuz" Exosuit Company detachment ( -ELITE- S. Heavy Infantry, 70 troops)
- TOTAL: 27,070 troops

I've always wondered how this would work out. To advance Imperial goals, I propose subliminal propaganda by means of introducing them to the concepts of an eternal war by injecting agents into their society and publishing an incredibly popular tabletop wargame.

Brilliant plan, that.

I'm also curious to see what the locals will do once an external threat arrives.

Because even with the threat of technologically advanced forces coming upon them all, I doubt old enemies will unite against a common enemy that easily, and we might even get some turncoats looking to benefit from our technology.

[Segmentia]

Also, just to note, my forces will have an Inquisitor with them.

Both approved

Also, just to note, my forces will have an Inquisitor with them.

The Inquisitor is going to have a field day with this.

Accepted!

[Ardavia]

This is not a bump in disguise, please move on citizen.

With that said, is there a policy in this RP regarding use of psykers in battle? Because scare value of men throwing lightning bolts and oddly-coloured fire from their hands.

As long as they aren't planet busting psykers I wouldn't really see a need to limit then. If you have them use them, but keep in mind reinforcements are a while out.

[Organized States]

Alright, here's a rule I'd like to suggest from a previous tech-mixing RP I did a while back.

Alien Craft should perform roughly equal or only slightly greater to that of their closest RL counterpart...

[Washington Resistance Army]

We aren't aliens

Really though, things like our ships will remain in orbit and things like orbital bombardments won't really be used. I also put a limit on the forces we can bring to level the playing field more, case in point I'll only have 50,040 troops at the start.

[Ardavia]

This basically negates any technological advantage the Imperium has. And we're outnumbered well over a hundred to one. I can't be the only one seeing a problem.

I can agree with this to limit shit like orbital bombardment, though. Because if the Imperial forces resorted to that, nothing could provide even a remote challenge to their takeover.

Well, considering you guys have 75 caliber weapons as "small arms", this really shouldn't be much of an issue.

That was another reason for me bringing it up.

We only have 40 or so Space Marines in the fleet. The tech is supposed to be superior as a balancing fact. We have superior technology but are incredibly outnumbered and our reinforcements take much longer to arrive.

Alright, I still have some objections, but those will come up later on if needed.
