Landfall(IC|Open|Colonization)

[Osterreich-Magyarszag]

Aboard the S.M.S. Franz I, in uncharted waters:

Most of the crew of the S.M.S Franz I was asleep in their bunks, sleeping away the wee hours of the morning away. All but Midshipman Jorgen Klauf, who was on lookout duty. He sighed. 2:00 am in the morning and he was on lookout. The S.M.S. Franz I had been sent off by His Majesty's Imperial and Royal Navy to search out for unclaimed land in the farthest reaches of the earth. Nearly a month at sea and they had not seen a speck of land. Jorgen took out his night-vision telescope and searched out the horizon. He stopped. One area of the sky seemed to block the stars. Jorgen knit his brows together. The sea was calm- he should be able to see for miles. This area was only maybe 3 nauts away. Nearly falling over himself, he rushed over to the alarm, cranking it quickly, causing an amazing ruckus.

The other crewman rushed out of their bunks, trying to slide on their uniforms. The ship's captain rushed up to Jorgen."Midshipman Klauf, what is the meaing of this?!" Captain von Trapp berrated the young man. Hurriedly, Jorgen stuck out his hand in the direction of the spotted land. He shouted at the top of his lungs:"Landen Ahoi!"

When dawn broke, the excited crew organized a landing party. Jorgen himself was chosen, along with fellow crewmembers Alois Sturmfreid, Maximilian Suisten, Domokos Maryosz, and Edvard Mastoszy. They loaded onto a small landing boat, carrying weapons and some supplies to deal with hostile natives.

About twenty minutes later, the group had pierced deep into the jungle of the new continent. Domokos stopped."You hear that?" the man asked."What?" Alois asked. A short moment later, a stone-headed arrow smashed into Alois's helmet."Ahgh!" he shouted. The other men raised their MP40's. There was another rustle. A native leaped from the brush, slamming a stone axe into the helmet of Edvard. Regaining their senses, the other men fired their weapons, killing the man in an instant."Dumkopf," Maximilian insulted the native.

However, more natives lept from the brush. The men dealt with them effectively, and the battle was a one-sided victory. Returning to the ship, a larger force came upon a native village. After a short fight, the village was taken.

The new land, a week later:
A week later, Jorgen had become an overseer to keep the natives in control. The scholars on board the Franz I had been able to decode some of the native's language. They called the land Endturr, which they had best romanized as Endör, pronounced 'End-air.' the crew and natives had built a small village, which they plainly named Endörstadt, or 'Endör city.'

At the same time, reconaissance planes searched the area to make a map. They found that the continent was very large, at least the size of Africa.

Vienna, Osterreich:
Once Kaiser Otto II heard of the land fall, he immediately advertised for colonists and sent out a message to the international community to send out for other countries. He immediately got nearly 300 skilled men and women to send to Endör.

Meanwhile, he sent the following message to the international community:

To the nations of the world:

A new continent has been discovered by the Osterreichisch-Magyar Navy on approximately April 27th. The Continent is vast, untamed wilderness. Early reporst from the landing parties have shown that exotic spices, silks, precious metals, precious gems, oil and coal have been found. The huge continent is open to foreign colonization. However, we must warn that natives are extremely Violent. The continent has been named after the native's name for it: Endör, also romanized as Endoer or Endore. The map of the continent is enclosed:

I must oppose this right out invasion of this new Continent and the killing of it Natives.
We condemn this action in the strongest of terms. This land is clearly not free for the Natives have land. Continued settlement will not be tolerated, not will the killing of natives! I ask you to cease all activities immediately. This new land and how to deal with it should be brought before the WA Security Council and held in trust accordingly.

It is well that the landing party was attacked without provocation and defended themselves accordingly. After their encounter, they should have retreated. Did they not realize that they had violated the territory of the natives? The ensuing mass murder of the village cannot be tolerated. It is clear that this Continent is inhabitant with Native Nations. Therefore they should have the right for self-determination and protection that we as Nations share!

I commend the Commonwealth for it's help in this matter.

[Underium]

We shall keep the land that belongs to us now and allow the natives to join us, if they resist and become violent, naturally we will slaughter them.

RE: Arming and Training of Natives

Minister Swift:
The recent events in the new world has me troubled. As you are fully aware I have sent this matter up to the WA Security Council for immediate help. I doubt that it will get far, this land is rich in natural resourses and other nations will clamor for it. As a Native Richpoorian my people have been on the recieving end of invaders. This nation was born the same way as what is occuring in the new world. We have an obligation to our past to stop this from being repeated. It took almost 200 years for my people to shake of the shackles put upon us!

I am signing this order to begin to arm and train the natives of the land. I have already had Minister Luther to send out operatives to establish contacts with as many tribes as possiable. Work with Minister Luther and prepare me a report of the prospect of this campaign and when you can commence with it.

President Debbs.

[Underium]

Due to a recent situation we have decided to kill all the ingeniousness native's, we cannot afford to have many more people in our nation, or waste the resources trying to teach these violent barbarians, so far they have killed 5 of our settlers, and dozens more either missing or injured. So we will start shooting the natives on sight.

All over the new land gun shots erupted as the natives not already part of Underium were shot on sight, there villages burnt, and people crying everywhere. After about 2 hours the shooting finally stopped and the new Southern Underian Jungle was being cut down into a nice beautiful grassy plane. Trees were felled and fires from a few hours were put out by the dampening rains. Altogether the natives were all but extinct.

The natives attacked, but the crew had spent months at sea trying to find land, and they were not about to turn back. They continued to search the area, and when they came upon the native village the natives attacked them and theu attacked in retaliation.

Furthermore, His Imperial and Royal Apostlic majesty has allowed the natives to have a life of there own, as they have for howver long their traditions have stood.

And on an OOC note, could we please stop the one liners? Maybe get a coherent RP started?

IC
As nations began to began to colonize there claims, Endörstadt began to grow as more colonists flooded in. Skilled craftsmen started shops. The streets were paved and the city became thriving port. Carpenter settlers built homes and nobles started plantations and provided the natives with housing and food if they worked on their fields.

On a light note, the first factory on the continent has been opened. The Endör autofabrik, a car factory, has been erected and is to be opened in a month.

Meanwhile, since the Dual Monarchy has never had an overseas colony before, His majesty has established a new ministry, called the Auslanderreich, to handle the new colony. A governor has been established for the colony: Captain von Trapp, the captain of the S.M.S. Franz I, has been appointed by his majesty.

---

However, Osterreich-Magyarszag condems Underiums decision to kill the natives, but we will not interfere in your nation's buisness.

Meanwhile, Magyar troops have been garrisoned in Endörstadt to protect the colony from Richpoor-backed natives.

Endoer

The jungle deafened all from the shrill shrieks of tree-dwelling animals to the incessant chirping and beeping of small and brightly coloured insects. But the noise helped obscure the silence that Jonathan Childers and his small team created at the perilous border between the sandy beach and the jungle.

Childers' team was small, seven in total. And for nearly 24 hours they had barely spoken to each other. Their instructions from the Colonial Office, via the Admiralty, noted the extreme hostility of the locals. And thus the initial insertion into Endoer was small. And silent.

One of Childers' men tapped him on the shoulder, and handed over a small device whose screen was lit on the lowest possible setting. The two conferred with hand gestures about the signatures located a few hundred metres inland along the banks of a large river that slowly and continually emptied into the sea not far to their west.

Far above Childers and the natives, a small drone circled the southern port of Endoer. Its curved surfaces and hidden engine protected it from probing radar sets—though that was more to avoid startling the other colonial powers as the natives were not likely to have access to such technology. The sensitive instruments attached in sleek reconnaissance pods tracked heat signatures among other things. And it was those recordings that Childers accessed in short, encrypted bursts before relaying them to a hulking mass just beyond the horizon.

Balfori, Endoer

The village of Balfori was small. A few hundred natives lived within the palisaded compound while daring farmers and river fishers lived beyond the protection of the wall and moat defences. Situated on a small rise whose cliff-like faces flanked the river, Balfori commanded a view of the approaches from the west and east through the clearing of the jungles done for the planting of starchy root crops. The river offered protection from north and south.

But never had Veldon, one of the elders on the village's council, heard footsteps from the sky. The god who shook the sky during the rainstorms sounded different, these were the sounds of footsteps in the air, with the air. Of the air? Suddenly the moon was eclipsed by a shape, much like a loaf of bread and the air then became windy. The dust on the village paths was stirred into a violent storm.

Terrible flashes like those in the worst rainstorms blinded Veldon, who instinctively retreated into his family home, shouting above the horrible noise for his wives and daughters to take shelter beneath their table. Veldon slowly was able to see once more and watched the village warriors take to their bows and loose arrows at the offending gods from the sky and what must be demons descending to the earth.

These demons of the dark and of death carried sticks that shot not arrows but fire. The chests of the village warriors, not dressed in their armour given the late hour, exploded in sickening sights. The warriors fell in horrible numbers while the elders and the women and children watched in horror.

Balfori fell in minutes.

At daybreak, Royal Marines had erected a flagpole and from it flew the flag of the United Kingdom. Beyond the shores of Endoer, the Colonial Office notified the other powers on the island of the Oceanian claim.

OOC: Nice post. Now we can get the thread on.
IC to come.

[Richpoor]

"President Debbs, Minister Luther and I have looked over your proposal." began Minister of Defense Swift, "There are a number of logistical and langisitc problems that would hamper our ability to arm the natives in a large enough amount to make a difference."
Minister of Forgien Affairs Martin Luther began where Swift stopped. "I have sent out 10 operatives to make contact with the natives. Because of all the killing of the natives by the other countries all 8 were killed on the spot. The two surviving operatives did make contact with a group of natives deep in the interior of the land. It appears they are in Maylasia held territory. It appears that these natives may be in the safest area. They also speak a form of language similar to spanish, it was enough to talk to them. They are more advance than other tribes in the region."
"In what way, Martin?" asked Debbs
"They have built cities made of stone, much like some of the tribes did here on Richpoor. They have a sewer system much like the Romans in Europe, Temples similar to the Aztecs in Mexico." Continured Martin Luther, "Here is our delimma, though we dare not arm these natives. Maylasia has shown a willingness to allow the Natives to have some self-determination. We should not upset this balance."
"Very well, What do they call themselves?" Asked Debbs
Swift looked at Luther "The Diné" the both said.
"The People." Debbs turns to look out the window.
"Sir we have one more possiability to stop and that is to make a claim on some of the land as well. Once we establish our claim we can manage it the way we see fit. It may be the only way to solve this problem. We can at least offer sanctuary, to the remaining people." Swift knew this would not be well recieved by the President.
"Verry well, lets do it. If that is the only shot we have then lets do it. Prepare Task Force Enterprise to head to the new continent we are making our proposal here!" He slams his finger on the map of Endor. "Also, get me the leader of Maylasia on the phone now. Also get our WA ambassador down her now!"
