Lethen Raiders [Buy a Raid!] [MT+, OPEN]

[Lethen Vikings]

Order the roughest, toughest raiders around to loot and plunder a target of choice! We'll swoop in faster than they can react and trash their ports, steal their stuff! This thread is also used to roleplay out the autonomous aggression of our settlements and for if you would like to acquire a settlement.

Rules:
1. You do not get a cut of the profits. If you want to make money off of our raiding, you have to let us move in and establish a base in your country.
2. We will not raid countries that we have settlement deals in.
3. It costs $20 million for every ten ships involved in the raid. A single batch of ten ships is 1 missile boat and 9 fast-attack craft. Each set of 10 carries 270 soldiers.
4. Harder and larger operations will be more expensive.
5. We will not perform raids that we are unlikely to win.
6. Raids in the Pacific are 30% more expensive. Long-ranged raids are 30% more expensive, and raids attacking more than five locations will be split into multiple different raids, each 30% more expensive than a normal one.
7. Raids in Europe (This does not include Mediterranean operations) are 50% more expensive in order to protect our mainland and homeland.

Once the transaction is complete, we will make the raid and get back to you with the results. Yes, you can get us to join RPs to raid people, but remember that your target nation, in or outside of RPs, might not always be interested in this sort of roleplay.

Application for a Raid:

Code: Select all

Applicant Nation:
Target Nation: (Include target cities if possible)
Raid size: (How many 10s of ships?)

[u]Settings:[/u]
Kidnapping: (Yes, we will probably kidnap a ton of women. Costs extra to say no, unless we're raiding the buyer???)
Scorched Earth: (Costs extra if you want us to actually try to wreck more than we need to)
Don't Loot: (Costs extra)
Massacre: (Costs [i]a lot[/i] extra if you want us to actively attack civilians. We can't promise too many casualties, though)

TG us if you want to host a settlement for us. The settlement will raid on its own, and the money will flow back into your nation!

No, local police have been getting lax recently with petty crime so we wanted to keep them on your toes, you know. Usual stuff.

We'd also like to host a settlement for the Lethen Vikings in Royalist City, is it necessary we submit a telegram for that or apply for such here?

Well, four ships is four fast-attack craft, so that will be roughly $880,000 in payment for the raid. As for the settlement agreement, that can be conducted in telegrams.

Raid size: Up to 16 groups of ten.

Settings:

Don't Loot: Oh, loot as much as you want. We'd probably pawn off the loot (as long as we don't have to deal with the slavers)

That is a purchase of $320 million NSD. We will need permission to dock and refuel in your ports before and after the mission, however.

@Hammer Britannia
The most we're willing to spare at the moment are 220 ships, which will cost you $440 million NSD without the extra fees. As you want us to both target civilians and raze the target's cities, it will be an extra 60% (20% for the scorched Earth, 40% for the civilians) which brings your total to $704 million NSD. Do you accept this transaction?

That much is a given. We accept your condition and deliver permission to dock and refuel in all Libertalian ports for the duration of time our informal agreement is in effect. A sum of 320,000,000 NSD (equivalent: 480,000,000 Libertalian Dollars) will be transferred to an account of the Lethen administration's chosing.

Only 704 million? What a bargain!

Of course, I accept!

Now would you prefer cash, credit, or diamonds?

Raid on Tacloban
Autonomous action by our settlement in The Chuck

The highly-urbanized city of Tacloban was still recovering from the typhoon in 2013, yet this did not mean it would receive mercy. It was, after all, a large city, and one of the more easily accessible ones. The Philippines had an unimpressive navy which had insufficient strength to hold off a raid, and so it would be raided. Setting off from the Lordship of Präriven in The Chuck, 131 long-range FAC crafts escorting 11 missile boats and 3 torpedo boats departed by order of the local Lord to raid the city of Tacloban. The fleet carried 3,930 soldiers on the FACs in total, thirty on each.

The local naval defenses were, needless to say, underwhelming. The Filipino navy, being small and almost entirely situated on the western side of the archipelago nation, only had a few patrol boats to offer, nor did it have defensive installations. After all, the city was still undergoing recovery, and the settlement in The Chuck was a new one. The fleet had masked itself as a bunch of unrelated fishing boats by spreading out far into escort groups before converging into the target. A brief skirmish occurred between a few patrol boats which were dealt with quickly, though this bought time to spread the word of evacuations.

The army of just a little under four-thousand rolled into the city and began to raise hell, destroying and looting stores and pushing stragglers into buildings. Across the several-hour attack, it appeared like a tornado had swept through the city. The local garrison and police were routed and annihilated. By nightfall, the city had almost been sent entirely back to square one or worse in its recovery from the 2013 typhoon. One Lethen soldier was seen hauling a college girl off on his shoulder. The whole time back to the boats, the girl struggled and cursed at him in Waray, and continued doing so after she was tied up and placed amount the rest of the primarily-woman-and-child hostages.

50 Lethen vikings were killed in combat, however 40% of the local garrison was either wounded or killed and 60% of the police similarly. Around $21 million dollars in damages were caused, and a third of that disappeared as loot for the vikings.

Raid on the American Union (Preparation)
In service to Neu Libertalia

In preparation for the massive raid on the American Union, the 160 requested ships passed through the Bahamas and entered ports in the city of Havana. The 16 missile boats and 144 FAC crafts, carrying 4,320 soldiers took a stop and refueled, performed preparations, and began planning their upcoming assault. The soldiers exited their ships, stretched their legs, and some fraternized with the locals (though only a little to be professional).

Raid size: 50

Settings:
Kidnapping: Yes
Scorched Earth: Yes

Massacre: Yes

Special Payment: Unmarked bills

Without the extra fees, it is a $100 million NSD transaction. However, as we are ordained to both scorch the Earth and attack civilians, it is an extra 60%, bringing your total to $160 million NSD.

Applicant Nation: Auphelia
Target Nation: All non-Auphelian KFP locations on this list - https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=925795

We are willing to pay extra for the multitude of locations. You shouldn't expect much resistance, and we only need you to target the KFP stores and get out.

Raid size: 5 (or whatever 100 million gets us)

Settings:
Kidnapping: Acceptable.
Scorched Earth: Please do.
Don't Loot: Acceptable.
Massacre: Please do.

This mission, due to its length and span will require specialized pricing. 100 million actually acquires the service of 50 ships, anyways. Would you care to continue discussion of the transaction in TGs?

Or approx. $3.2 billion USD in our world. Blame hyperinflation for that. And yes, this is perfectly fine. We'll be giving unmarked bills, so nobody can trace it. Figure you'll want that.
