[Masloktotl]

Leftain, Masloktotl; 2143 hrs, Tuesday 2^nd of May, 2045

So-called 'Dictator', Cameron Kerivere, sat at his desk. For ten years the region had been plunged into a recession turned depression, and now the people were dead of life. Well, not his people. The people of the continent. The Fifth Dominion, Davatria, Iievius, Old North Fish... every one of them now came crying to what they once called a 'minnow nation' for help, even when Masloktotl was now the most powerful nation in the Eastern Realms and was the only one in the region with an economy that could be called 'thriving'. But Masloktotl was still dying. They needed more land, more space, more territory. Masloktotl itself was barren and infertile, and though they had once survived on imports, now the supplies had run out. Morphisia, too, was on the verge of falling into the continental depression, and if they didn't support Masloktotl in this, then they too would become part of the Masloktotl Dominions. The planning had been meticulous, and every operation had been carefully thought out. Kerivere observed the map, pinned to the wall. Their nation was a tiny thing, hovering on the side of the piece of paper, the center dominated by the larger continental powers. Beside them... Manapulu. It was time to ready the ships. They hadn't had space technology for two dozen years just to make no progress. The Ravens were primed for combat and tried, tested. Each of the thousands of interceptors gleamed in anticipation. The Spectres, silent apparitions, floated with nary a thought. And their thirteen Emperor cruisers were prepared with shining fire and pale steel. Hundreds, thousands of pairs of hands and legs and guns waited, sleeping in a gentle, serene silence, for the anticipated battles ahead; and tomorrow, the war would begin, hostilities declared, couriers sent and timed, the first move would be made with the orange-red, skulking dawn of the morrow's morn. As he watched the sun set towards the western sky, he knew that with tomorrow's birth it would rise in the east, in Masloktotl, in Morphisia, in Skypower, in Tibetan China. In an Eastern Revolution.

[The Fifth Dominion]

Starvation. Or near-starvation. No cars on the road. Little to no-planes in the sky. Blackouts at night.

This was what the Dominion was reduced to. It was quite simply, too expensive to stay alive.

The military thrived, though. The Emperor made sure of that. Soldiers actually had access to cigarettes, something which civilians weren't allowed to have. In fact, every single vehicle that moved was military, and even that was rare due to the fact it was peacetime, and also because of the price of fuel. For the first time ever, the Grand Internet Cafe had been closed at night. Even the Imperial Palace was dark, due to power cuts at night.

If the economy didnt improve, this would bode badly for the Dominion.

[Masloktotl]

The tanks rolled over the border like a condemning wave of terror. Beside them, dozen upon dozens of well equipped soldiers marched in splendor. Overhead, planes whirred their way overhead, a sigil of things to come. Higher still, orbital platforms emblazoned with the marks of Manapulu were beset from all sides by the storm of Ravens, a messy mass of white and red and black, lasers and ships and the cold void flashing from behind. Ashes filled the skies, and each day was another town lost to the Masloktotl forces. And a million more days were to come yet. This war was already won.

[The Fifth Dominion]

2345 hours Wednesday 3rd of May, Iievian Colonial Protectorate, Fifth Dominion Skypower Base

The two VTOL Craft, carrying two squads each, flew over a large crater, blackened and burned to glass. It didn't make sense. It was a hilly grassland-type area, just yesterday. Something had happened here. An Orbital Strike, judging from the fact that the crater had been glassed. The VTOLs touched down at Coordinates 876459 of the region, the Squads were supposed to instruct the local militia on dress-and-bearing, as per the training program.

But the entire village was gone.

"Christ." One Private muttered.

The Squads then boarded their VTOLs again, speeding back to the camp to warn the Colonel.

Someone, or something, was destroying things. Again.

[Ashbringer]

Ashbringer was in a time of depression. The civilians were now on rationing, with all surplus to the military. The military were faring well though, with reavers ready for combat and scouts patrolling the air for enemy forces, group and air.

[The Fifth Dominion]

0001 hours Thursday 4th of May, Iievian Colonial Protectorate, The Plains of Jethro

The Colonel had boarded a helicopter bound for Masloktotl, to find out what was going on. He didnt prepare for an assasination attempt, I mean, they HAD been relatively peaceful trading partners. Although they mostly kept to themselves....

OOC:

ASSASINATE ME!!!!

[Iievius]

Iievius was dying. Of course, it fared better than some. But the nation had taken a worse hit than most as well. The depression had crept up on the once thriving nation quietly with nary a whisper. There were no big things; no riots in the streets, no crumbling buildings. But over time, a foreigner would be unnerved by the small, hidden signs of frail poverty. Suddenly, the street vendors were toting their wares from half-empty crates, barely affording the business. Or lights flickered from sudden power conservation cuts at night. Shadows lurked in alleys that hadn't been there before, and men and women going to work wore less suits and more cheap clothes, children playing in the streets gaunt with hunger. This disease was slowly eating away at Iievius, the only sustenance coming from Polaris, so far away, and the aid was limited. This winter of infertility and broken dreams was a long one, and it had been ten years since Iievius was in it's blooming summer. Iievius needed a miracle.

[Masloktotl]

The helicopter had hovered down onto the helipad of the skyscraper with much noise. The blades whirred with speed as the Colonel stepped out into the bright morning sun. He was greeted with an image that was to him but a distant memory. Towering citadels, streets bustling with life, shops full of merchandise. It was beautiful. The Fifth dominion had been hit hard, and he had not seen a living city for a while, memories of a happier, richer Ostagar and Citadel rising in his mind. He was greeted by an official. They would convene later in an expensive hotel, where they would dine with many other important delegates and diplomats, before he picked up a newspaper later that night. War Successful? Manapulu Trampled Underfoot? What was going on?

---

Sergeant Jenkins was drinking. He was not AWOL; no this was a perfectly authorized venture, In fact, it had been encouraged. The victory over Manapulu had been swift, with the quick, unexpected hammer blow defeating most resistance. Masloktotl turned it's sights to better prizes now. The army had been given some time off to enjoy themselves. He would make sure he did.

[The Fifth Dominion]

0123 hours Thursday 4th of May, Fifth Dominion Home Territory, Aerinoth Island, Freedom Metropolis

John McCain walked out of the Lucky 13 Casino, one of only 2 Casinos in Freedom Metro which had been allowed to operate at night. It was like everyone in the City was in the Casinos, trying their luck at gambling. The streets were completely empty. He staggered and grabbed hold of a wall of a closed-down General Store. He then looked up, looking at the stars, trying to see what the future held for him....

Suddenly, a soldier came out of nowhere and grabbed hold of his arm.

"Citizen! Under Article 5 of the Conscription Order, you are hereby recruited into the Army! How old are you?"

"36."

"So you have previous military experience?" the soldier asked, referring to the six-year compulsory military service law.

"Yes, sergeant," John replied, spotting the man's rank.

"Well, then, you are hereby promoted to a Corporal! Now hurry up, soldier, there is a war to fight!"

John was confused. "A War?"

The Sergeant tossed him a newspaper....

[Masloktotl]

OOC:
If joining in war, please declare against whom. It can be confusing, I don't know whether you're attacking me or helping me. By the way, Masloktotl offers financial assistance to allies. ;D

[Ashbringer]

OOC: Someone really needs to put me on the map. Currently, I'm in the void.

[Old North Fish]

OOC: I really must update the map. Okay, to get things sorted out:

1. Morphisia is no longer on the planet ( in Noryol)
2. Hence Morphisia is not participating
3. In the new map, Ashbringer will be somewhere on the mainland, probably where Adi Rajen was (coz DL isnt on NS anymore)

4. Tibetan China and Masloktotl get Morphisias land.

5. Tibetan China still has a cache of Fleminium bombs.

Edit: 6. The latest map was actually uploaded in the EH article of NSwiki.
Re-Edit: http://www.nswiki.net/index.php?title=EH

[Masloktotl]

Contact ONF. He is the official Geographer and Topographer for our region. And Now, WAR! No more OOC unless important.

[Iievius]

OI! No giving Adi Rajen to Ashbringer, cause I OWN that land, b*&#7!!! Just give him the entire Chain of Freedom and rename it the Chain of Ash-Bringing-Epic-Swords

[Masloktotl]

NO MORE OOC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Old North Fish]

Sargeant Horatio deZarr stepped out of the helicopter, he had arrived in Iievius, in Iupitus, to be specific. Yesterday, the youn promising King Emperor requested a military representative to sign the Kyceir Pact, which outlined the revival of the Kyceir Alliance. DeZarr hoped also to secure battle plans for the conquest. Of the Eastern Realms.

[The Fifth Dominion]

0246 hours Thursday 4th of May, Fifth Dominion Home Territory, The Great Sea, 78th Space Transportation Squadron, Bound for Masloktotl

After finding out that Masloktotl had been nuking surrounding nations and invading them, the Fifth Dominion has decided to send reinforcements to Skypower Base, which was also gearing up for war. "Kill tem Masloktotlians!" screamed one conscripted farmer. "Or was it Masloktotlan? Or Masloktotlers? Whateva. KILL EM ALL!"

Transportation Squadron 78 was a convoy of dropships and VTOLs escorted by Sabre-class fighters and a single Sloop-class vessel. It was time to destroy Masloktotl for destroying the peace, in this most desperate of times.

[Masloktotl]

The Fifth Dominion wanted war, it seemed. Then they would have it. Kerivere motioned towards his secretary.
"Kim. I want you to send offers of alliance and financial stability to Davatria and the Triple Alliance. Strongbow knows what is good for his people. It is unlikely he will refuse. And... withdraw the discreet support we were providing the Fifth Dominion for their economy. It wouln't do for them to defeat us, would it?" Kim nodded quietly.

Kerivere relaxed. With the Manapulan space forces neutralized by the Ravens, now a large part of Masloktite forces had returned for use. The Spectres and Emperors would have to be their trump card in this war, reserved for later. But now, the Nest motherships were assembled in preparation to hold the Ravens once again. And the rest of Masloktotl geared up to attack Skypower. Those new plasmas would prove useful.

---

Two Masloktite divisions were already in the area. Skypower borders had been lax ever since the country had returned to Salviun half-control. When skypower got independence again, security had just dropped more. The only hope for the Skypowerans? survival was the military forces being landed by the Fifth Dominion. Ravens swarmed around the five motherships that accompanied them. Suddenly... a cloud of dropships floated on the horizon, moving towards Masloktotl. Each bore the cross and eagle of the Fifth. The captain's orders were cold. "Engage. Three Nest-Class Motherships are to commence contact with Raven Interceptors, and two will remain in reserve." Now all that was left was to wait for the response.

[The Fifth Dominion]

0327 hours Thursday 4th of May, Iievian Colonial Protectorate, Skies above Fifth Dominion Skypower Base

The Convoy was under attack by what seemed like a large proportion of the Masloktotl Space Force.
The Soldiers were now following the ODSTs' example and jumped out of the craft. Unfortunately, the combat body-suits werent designed for surviving falls from thousands of kilometers in the air, and almost a quarter of the Infantry were dead. The ODSTs, on the other hand, did survive.

The soldiers were confused. This was Iievian territory. Attacking it meant war with Iievius. Those Masloktotl fools! Now they would be attacked by 2 nations!

But at the same time, something didnt make sense. Iievius had made no effort to defend its own territory. Perhaps they were in on it together? Rumors spread, and almost every trooper was convinced that there was a double-crossing of some sort.

Meanwhile, in the skies, a couple of VTOLs broke off from the action to provide close air support and some limited transportation to the troops. The Dropships attempted to flee, but were brought down, their weapons insufficient. The Sloop was evading fire but did not have the firepower to win this battle. After dropping an emergency beacon for the rest of the Fleet, it fled into Hyperspace.

[Izsha]

OOC: Isn't Izsha still on a planet in the Polaris system? Or is it back in EH now? If it's still on the planet then how would we be affected by a depression in the harem?

[The Fifth Dominion]

@ Izsha: Check telegram

0348 hours Thursday 4th of May, Iievian Colonial Protectorate, Fifth Dominion Skypower Base

Scattered groups of troops were entering Skypower Base, as well as a handful of VTOL craft. The reinforcements had been hit hard. This might just be hopeless.

Then, a large armoured figure walked out of the Male Toilets. A member of Navy Special Warfare: a prototype supersoldier. His silver visor scanned over the parade ground, and he walked towards the Lieutanent.

"Master Chief Petty Officer-"

The Lieutanent cut him off mid sentence: "Yes, I am fully aware of your rank, Master Chief. No need to report for duty."

"Yes, sir!"

"Master Chief, I want you to lead a few troopers on a raid on a group of Masloktotite tanks."

"Yes, sir!"

"Good. Dismissed."

"Yes, sir!" The supersoldier saluted, and walked off to the vehicle depot, dragging random soldiers along with him, some "volunteers."

[Izsha]

The population of Izsha that was still left in the Harem were suffering. The recent depression led to families buying fast food every night which in turn led to skyrocketing obesity rates. Still, Izsha fared rather well due to its great economy and supplies from Seryum were imminent.

Fleet Admiral Vespira gazed out at the dark emptiness of hyperspace from the bridge of his Progenitor Mothership. Primarily a flagship, the Progenitor was well equipped with massive plasma batteries and countless pulse lasers for point defense. In times of need though, the ship served very well for bringing supplies due to its immense size and was perfectly capable of colonizing planets. Surrounded by an entourage of fifty Subjugator-Class Battlecruisers and a further fifty Revelation-Class Carriers, the battle group emerged in normal space just over the Emperor's Harem. "Ahhh I have missed this place", said Vespira. A second later, his navigations officer piped up.
"Sir!Masloktotite forces are engaged with the Fifth Dominion nearby!" Vespira cursed, the Emperor's Harem just had to be fighting when they came into the system.
"Warm up our plasma weapons but do not engage. We'll dock quietly and start shuttling supplies and troops down to the surface. Looks like it's time to try out the warp gates we've developed. With help from Fal Shia of course.
"Sir, yes sir! We'll begin docking immediately."
"Shall I send for reinforcements back on Seryum?" Queried his communications officer.
"Do it." The bridge buzzed with activity as orders were relayed across the battle group and the Illidari ships made for their docks.

[The Fifth Dominion]

0412 hours Thursday 4th of May, Iievian Colonial Protectorate, Forrestshire

The Master Chief drove his arrowhead of Chimera Tanks into the sides of the Masloktotite Tank Squadrons. He fired the main plasma cannon, just as the Masloktotites spotted them and opened fire. The Chimera Tanks had shields, but one of them had taken multiple rounds, exploding. The explosion destroyed the shieldings of the Chimera around it, causing them to succumb to Masloktotite projectiles. However, the plasma fire from the Chimeras were also wreaking havoc into the Masloktotite lines, causing some Tanks to rout.

0425 hours Thursday 4th of May, Home World Higher Orbit, Fifth Dominion Occupied-Space

The 6th Fleet arrived in full force an hour ago, and was engaging the Masloktotite Fleet. The Leviathan opened fire on a particularly large ship, which turned out to be a hologram. It turned out that the Fleet wasnt that big at all. Which caused some unease: was this really the whole Masloktite Fleet? Or a decoy?

[Izsha]

Illidari builders began the task of constructing the massive warp gate. With it, they could easily shuttle transports in by the thousands, allowing a steady influx of ground troops to enter.

Meanwhile... The Illuminator Mothership had just rolled off the production line. It was a gargantuan beast, utilizing energy web technology to project a dome over its top. (Think Protoss Mothership from Starcraft 2). The ship lit up as it floated into space, the energy webbing beginning to establish itself. This technology was a breakthrough for the Illidari it offered some form of shielding and could be expended to greatly boost the Mothership's capabilities. It would stay in orbit over Seryum for now as the conflict in the Emperor's Harem became more clear to them.

On the ground, Illidari scientists have produced the next incarnation of combat armor. After the great success of the various high-ranking Illidari officers, a new corp was being created to don the T-17b combat armor. Now able to absorb five kilo joules of kinetic impact, and mounted with a revamped tesla device, the T-17b could take a lot of damage even dispersing some of the energy fired from laser or plasma weaponry.
