Mcsavagania siezes foreign shipping...

To: The World in general and McSavagania in particular
From: Mr. White, foreign affairs office, The Dominion of Emperor Pudu XLII

Considering the McSavaganian doctrine of seizing any foreign shipping in their territory, the Dominion will assume a doctrine by which any McSavaganian ships located anywhere by any function of the Pudite Imperial Navy will be sunk on sight. Although the Emperor does not conduct trade in the vicinity of McSavaganian waters, the global nature of His Empire ensures wide swathes of sea to survey for possible McSavaganian targets. Should any Imperial ship be fired upon by any McSavaganian ship, it will most obviously be considered an act of war, and McSavagania will be suitably reprimanded.

Good day,
Mr. White

The Bravo had a deadline to meet. Her captain wasn't going to wait for some stupid destroyer to escort her. The Philimbesi registered cargo ship was well in international waters and didn't care about any embargoes or other crap. She continued to go full speed, 127 NM off the McSavaganian coast.

[McSavagania]

McSavaganian Coast: Battlegroup Omega

The Battle-Carrier "SKULLS OF THE FALLEN"

Serf: "Sire, new game has entered the field...May I deploy The Assault Helicopters? Pacification squads armed and ready to take down the crew.

Overlord Valdran: Issue the instructions and ready the cannibalisation squads, peon!

Serf:It shall be done..

3 massive gunshiptransports, laden with crack warriors lifted off and headed towards the helpless Philimbesi ship.....

[Philimbesi]

"Jackpot captain." The radar operator said with a smirk. 3 birds in the air. Inbound.

"Weapons, activate the CIWS, bring the rams up, everyone knows there's no such thing as a helpless Philimbesi cargo ship. " Let the Posiden and the Nemo know we have contacts and they should start to surface, how far out is the Hellfire?"

"10NM and closing full speed, the Mercury is right behind her.

"Weapons target the birds and open a channel".. The beeps indicated the open channel "This is Captain James Bark of the USPS Bravo. Unidentified aircraft, we are well into international waters, divert from your course or we shall be forced to take action."

The forward missile bays spun in the direction of the gunships.... the radar systems locked tight on their signatures. The tips of the AIM9 Sidewinders nestled snugly in the launch tubes gleamed in the midday sun.

TO: Admiral Thomas B. Craufurd

You are hereby ordered to despatch 38 Sqn with all speed to the Savaganian theatre, and upon arrival there to keep the peace upon the high seas to the best of your ability. Do not fire unless fired upon.

God's Providence be with you.

[Picky rich kids]

Empire PRK does not support your attempt at controlling the seas. In response to this we have now implemented the following terms on all goods related to Mcsavagania.

1)PRK has now introduced a 60% tariff on all goods imported from Mcsavagania.
2)All exports to Mcsavagania shall cease until you lift this ridiculous shipping toll.
3)We demand the return of any goods seized from any ships from PRK.
4)Everybody in PRK with a Mcsavagania citizenship has been detained under our internal security act which allows us to hold them indefinetely without trial.

These terms shall stand in place until you lift the toll for all PRK ships. We do not care about other nations as long as ours is exempted from this toll.

Signed,
Gelford Koiftor
Minister of foreign affairs

Minister of goods and production

[Aperture Science]

An Aperture Science cargo vessel, obviously a bit dilapidated and in need of a new coat of paint, steamed its way into the Mcsavaganian exclusion zone. It's captain was obviously a worried man, to judge by the rigid posture with which he sat in his chair. Here and there on deck, crewmembers paced, although somebody who observed them for a few hours might start to notice something odd about their movements.
Regardless, the vessel chugged on, making a beeline for safety on the other side of the zone.

IMPERIAL MILITARY NEWS - THE EMPIRE HAS "THROUGHLY" EXPRESSED ITS OPINION ON THIS MATTER

FIVE hours ago the Imperial assult submarine IMS Battlehammer surfaced five miles offshore of McSavaginian territory and one of their largest ports. Their mission was to launch five assult helecopters each full with a complement of eight Imperial Marines each and the objective was to destroy port facilities and take McSavaginian mility personell hostage. The operation was a success unfourtanetly six marines had the honor to die gloryiously in the service of the Emperor. The facilities that were destroyed were two fuel tanks, a warehouse, the port authority building, a frigate, and two destroyers, as well as 22 of their military personell were captured who were reported cowering in the port authority building begging for mercy. The IMS Battlehammer left the region safely and arrived at the homeland the prisoners are being held at unknown locations at this time and a funeral in honor of the lost Marines is being held. The Emperor issued a statement for a reason that he has carried out these actions "McSavaginias actions are that of cowardice, stupidity, and greed, one of the ships that they robbed was the ICS Golden on a standard trade route then she was robbed and her crew was forced into slavery, THE AMERICAN EMPIRE WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS so in reatalliation we have taken 22 of their people and crippled a vital port soon they will realize that international trade is a PRIVILLIAGE AND NOT A RIGHT, when and ONLY when they release all captured ships and hostages will they recive their people back". Later the Imperial Military Command stated that the Imperial 3rd battle group with the carrier IMS Death Blow as the flagship patroling the area and prevent more pirating activities. Glory to the Emperor.

Thunderhawk flight en route to target:

Thunderhawk one: Weapons signitures detected, return to base return.......

Birds two and three dove for the deck and raced home as the lead craft and her warriors exploded in a fireball.

Aboard the skulls of the Fallen, the situation was being realised...the primatives wanted to play, so be it. Their skulls would decorate the "Fallens" hull.
12 Buccaneer fighters were launched each armed with harpoon missles, once in range they each fired there four missles at the offending "transport".
The SotF's battle group was responding, this was no longer a merchant siezing mission, but a Nautical Extrmiatus. Nimrod ASW aircraft and "dragons teeth" hunter killer attack subs vectored in on the Philimbesi forces.....

OOC: I only warned and painted the targets. I didn't fire anything.

[Democratic Eurasia]

Commodore Andrej Gravuk was speaking with his seniors at the Admiralty from his office on the Eurasian taskforces' flagship the destroyer Orca when his subordinate brought the news. He turned back to screen.

'Sirs, Ma'ams, we are receiving radio intercepts indicating a Mcsavaganian attack on a Philembesi merchant ship Bravo. It's inside the disputed waters, but we can get there within the hour if we move now, at top speed. Do I have permission to commit our force to the fight? I remind you for the record that our taskforce consists of two ASW destroyers, two Anti-air destroyers and two surface combat destroyers.'

'That'll force us into direct conflict with the Mcsavaganians! The PM might get seriously irritated, never mind the Council and Assembly.' commented Admiral Valis
'It's either a show of aggression or a show of determination. The PM might thank us- especially considering today's parliamentry session.' noted Rear-Admiral Thied
'I'm not going to ignore politics, but we have to be decisive. I'll take responsibility fifty-fifty with you, Commodore. Whatever you advise I will issue as an actual order. If we guess right equal credit, if it goes wrong we go down together.' this was the regional commander for Eurasian naval forces, Admiral Sennen.
'Well, ma'am, I think we should go. We can't just hang around on the outskirts hoping they won't interfere with our trade. And an attack in international waters is a violation of the most basic laws of the sea and an international crime. Certain treaties and stautes would even indicate that it's our duty to help the Bravo.'
Very well then, Commodore- those are your orders. Go to the aid of the Philembisi merchant ship and protect it from the Mcsavagnian forces launching an unprovoked attack in international waters on innocent civilians. Do what you have to foil the attack and keep the ship and its cargo safe, but try to avoid heavy casulties where possible. And whatever else happens your priority is to gaurantee the safety of the Bravo's crew. Good luck and dismissed.'

STATEMENT FROM THE SKULL COUNCIL:

May the smashed and broken bodies of your punty soldiers decorate our war machines. So far, 7 merchant vessels have been detained, their crews sent to the uranium mines. We have no use for trade with the weak. Avoid our space and keep your lives..

The Federal Republic of Franberry on behalf of the [ALLIANCE NAME TO BE DECIDED] comprised by the powerful nations of Jeuna, Layarteb and Cravan demand that you stop your ridiculous behavior or we will deploy our combined fleets of Doujins.

may I join the alliance?

From the office of

Caius I

Supreme Dictator and Guardian of the Realm

The Jingoistic States of Oxymorinicae

SIR,

The Supreme Dicator takes an extremely dim view of any attempt to sabotage our shipping operations, to impose what is effectively piracy on innocent civilian crew, and to take what is not yours. You are given this final warning: withdraw all of your forces from this region within twenty-four hours. Faliure to do this will be taken as a declaration of war and your nation and all of its assets will be blacklisted. A bounty will be placed upon the lives of your captains. My forces will be on alert to disrupt your vile actions.

In warning,

Caius I

Supreme Dictator

From the Desk of Archerus Reynolds:

"Dear Skull Council,
It is a sad day when small nations must declare upon themselves to be a nation of pirates. Claiming the waters far beyond their own "legal" claim of waters generously left to them by other nations that have the power to destroy such an insignificant nation is only seen as absurd and quite hilarious. With regards to the incorporation of a doctrine allowing the seizure of cargo ships if a 20% toll is not paid? Why good men and women of the so called "Skull Council", such funds would flood your nation with more money than your government, and its citizens, could possibly spend in a lifetime! Furthermore, why would I pay such a small nation this "toll" when my ships could simply, oh, destroy everything you hold dear? I recommend you try to rid yourself of this doctrine before someone is pushed over edge and onto a soap box.

If your leadership is too lazy to read what I have told you, then may the Gods have mercy on your pathetic waste of serviceable land.

Sincerely,

Archerus Reynold, Leader of Lone Wolf"
