(This is a placeholder for the roleplay going on for the online browser game Nation States, for the region of Troperia, to play out the 1st (and possibly only) Gethic War. If you are interested, please visit On-Topic Conversations and the thread on Nation States. It is currently in the process of transferring this roleplay out of On-Topic, which is not the appropriate space, into a Sign-Up sheet and discussion page. Note that this is in construction and reorganisation, and that this is only a temporary (hopefully very temporary) set of circumstances; this will soon be structured properly.)

In light of the recent events, the Republic of Shaadik wishes to express it's indignation at the unjust war of aggression led by the communist state of Moddeir against the legitimate government of the Gethic Hand.

We also would like to express our concern about the brutal take-over of the Confederal Troperian Ministry by USAF.

We feel threatened by his warmongering politics, disdain for democracy, support for international bolchevism and his extremely suspicious arrival into power.

The Great Northern Threadkill.

<the following is a message from Vinsin Vancore, supream leader of the Gethic Hand, to the Republic of Shaadik >

We of the Gethic Hand wish a request to thy people of Shaadik: we are in war against chaos! The Moddeins' quest for regulative control over Troperia must be stoped, along with the aggresive acts that USAF has commited against my power! I ask thee people of Shaadik to join our side in the conflict and bring order to the world!

(Meanwhile, in the seas off the Gethic coast, a naval battle is about to break out.)

"Gentlemen, this is admiral Kalkis speaking. Could our destroyer squadrons please hold fast and form a screen around the Golden Chainsaw and Flanker 66. Crew of Cruiser Amphitryte, hold in position behind the destroyer screen. Do not approach the squid machines. Captain Brabant of the Golden Chainsaw, can you please authorise the take off of two Wyvern drones with a light bomb payload, to probe enemy defences?"

"Roger. This is the Golden Chainsaw. Wyverns are taking off as we speak."

(From the decks of the Golden Chainsaw, two incredibly narrow, clearly unpiloted aircraft take off from the deck. They shoot towards the spider tanks at Mach 8, and attempt to drop a bomb payload of a single missile each onto the squids. The rest of the Poseidonian battlefleet hangs back from the action.)

(At the Gethic navy base Vhan, Grand Marshell Thyng, second hand to Vancore himselve, is issuing a meeting with Grand Adrimal Hallix)

Thyng: The navy forces nearing us will prove to be destructive... our subs are not ready and the dreadnoughts are late! I thought you had organised your forces before hand?!

Hallix: With the... vanishings around the last few days, the late arrival is expected. Anyway our navy defences will hold...

Communication Officer: Sirs! Hostile fleet is approuching our base!

Hallix: Blast it!

Thyng: I want you to attack now! Send in the fleets we have and tackle them!

Hallix: But we are not ready!

Thyng: Fail and Vancore will want you removed!

Hallix: ... yes Thyng!

Here is transcripted an excerpt from a speech by CEO Aristide Lacallière in Shaadik's parliament.

... and even though we seak peace and prosperity as our founding fathers did, it is also the duty of any free man to fight against tyranny and help those struggling against oppression.

We cannot let the communist rule of terror take over the world. We must not let these butchers continue their insane crusade against reason and freedom.

As such, in the interest of Shaadik and all of the liberty-loving nations of the Confederacy of Troperia, I hereby order the complete mobilization of Shaadik's armies and the shutdown of our frontiers.

(The drone missiles fall upon the Squid-like naval vessels, impacting upon their defences, before promptly flying back in an evasive pattern.)

I'm giving Ailedhoo a chance to say what defences the Gethic navy would have against an air attack. Right now the Poseidonians are only probing their enemies defences.

Thyng: So they think they can beat our defences via the air huh? Hawk Guards! Go and so them!

-Hawk Guards are jet fighters with SA Ms on their tail, the idea being the pilot will dogde fire while a computer system on board logs onto targets and shoot them down. O and the Gethic have SAM sites around their base.-

I think you mean Air-To-Air missiles?

(The drones are moving at Mach 8 speeds, and quickly outpace the oncoming interceptors. However, instead of pulling back all the way to base, the drones set a flight pattern in between the Poseidonian battlefleet and the Gethic defences.)

"Hold over the sea. If we can draw those fighters out into the middle of our fleets, we can shoot them down with our own air cover without the ground forces assisting with Surface-To-Air missile support!"

Hallix: The subs are ready to engage and the dreadnoughts are nearing!

Thyng: Then set the subs to target the ships. When the dreadnoughts arrive we will able to nerve gas these savages back to the Stone Age!

"Sir, the destroyers are picking up whispers."

"Anything concrete?"

"No sir, but-"

"Then its probably nothing. We'll launch an all-out air assault as soon as its clear the enemy aren't taking the bait. Keep the drones hovering."

"Sir, I really must-"

"Follow your orders captain."

Hallix: Start the battle! Destroy the ships of evil that defy us Gethic!

Thyng: I just been speaking to the Director: the dreadnoughts are nearing but he wants us to not use them if possible: a new anti-ship helicopter has arrived to join the fight. These Sky Waruses have been employed to your command Grand Adminral: take out the savages or I will order the dreadnoughts to nerve gas the area with your fleet in it. Understand?

Hallix: Yes sir!

"I don't see any air response..."

"They're probably cowering in fear of our grand armada!"

(A Lower Poseidonian Rear Admiral speaks up)

"Or, they're planning some sort of surprise. We already don't know anything about those squid-like creatures. I suggest caution."

"Nonsense! This is the navy of Poseidonia, the pride of the Troperian fleet! We are indestructible when our might is concentrated. Send all our tactical bombers and fighters out into the attack, leave only the interceptors behind to intercept any counter-attack; they haven't got the range to respond anyway."

(The admiral turns towards his Lower Poseidonian counterpart.)

"See? I even kept a reserve! Are you happy?"

"The fate of Poseidonia is on your head, admiral. As are the lives of 200,000 Upper Poseidonian infantry. Poseidonian infantry."

"Lower Poseidonians. Don't understand that aggression is needed to win a war."

(The Upper Poseidonian marine airforce, a force of over 1000 planes, including 400 bombers and 500 fighters, the force that could counter a sub attack, flies out to assault the squids, the port, and the enemy ships in harbour. Only 100 interceptors remain behind, only useful for repelling air attacks. The hope of the Poseidonian fleet now rests on eight destroyer squadrons.)

-As the Sky Waruses near the battle zone and the suberiens begin to launch their assault, Hallix go on board the cruiser Abell, to join his warriors in the front line against the hostiles. Thyng is seated in Vhan, speaking to the Director himselve via radio-

Thyng: Soon the invaders will be delt with and our new weopons will prove to be stronger then even ULAF can offer!

Vancore: True... but I am concerned.... Moddeir has not been taking advantage of this sitoration. Keep your eyes out while dealing with the threat... and...

Thyng: Yes sir?

Vancore: I have changed my mind: I want you to send out the dreadnoughts and gas out the area!

Thyng: But... Hallix...

Vancore: Will be remembered as a hero and replaced. I want victory: double victory. Earn or I will replace you!

Thyng: Yes sir...

-meanwhile in the high seas, a Moddein convoy of destroyers guard a transport ship carrying war trained pheonixes. They head to aid the battle against Vhan-

The Emperor of Analea sits in front of his work computer, sipping on a soda.

"I'm an aggressive leader now, am I?" He talks to himself. It's his way of thinking things through.

The Analean Council of War coordinates the Imperial Military without need for his direction. Naval elements of the Imperial Third Fleet enter the fray. TREBUCHET arrays provide cover from their positions in orbit.

The game is, as of now, our own to win or lose. He thinks...


The Kingdom of Dentallia is a dead nation. It has been defunct for nearly two centuries, its people absorbed into the Empire in return for their defeat in the Expansion War.

Today, they are free. However, they are not yet free enough...

-Vancore watches the battle at Vhan from his palace via a spy cam. He then sends a message to his envoy Casper Murvin in his mission-

Murvin: What is the destination I am being sent to my leader?

Vancore: Dentallia... I seek a allaince with them to ensure they will turn against their former slave masters. This way we will have one lest pest to deal with and ensure that our Forgotten Eye agents can enter the empire and begin the hacking mission I have installed for them.

Murvin: Understood... but these are objectivists! They are ailiens! They will turn against...

Vancore: The Empire they turn against! We will allow their existance for the time being. Let them decide their fate...

"Sir... you're not going to believe this."

"Helicopters? Against supersonic aircraft; have the Gethic gone utterly mad?"

"Blow them out the sky?"

"Send in the fighters, one high-altitude squadron to destroy the jets, a smaller low-altitude one an eighth of the size to take out the helicopters. Send in the tactical bombers five minutes later, destroy any SAM defences, and then fall on the enemy navy. Destroy any guard facilities but leave the air ones intact; we'll need to be able to land supply craft and land our bombers for force projection inland."

Soon, 525 fighters are swarming over the outnumbered Gethic interceptors as 75 more descend to combat the helicopters, firing air-to-air missiles and flying above and below their opponents to essentially surround the Gethic forces in the air, aiming to ensure there is a bogey on the rear of the Gethic airforce whatever way their pilots turn. The bombers continue to maintain a holding pattern over the sea.

"What?!"

"Its not whispers this time sir... something big is coming!"

"This is the P.C.S Siren, our destroyer has been struck by a torpedo! We're taking on water, SOS, SOS!"

"Curses! Pull back the bombers-"

"That leaves our fighters open to SAM attack; and with them engaged with the enemy aircraft, we cannot withdraw!"

"Then we will have to defeat the submariners before our air force is driven back to the carriers... commit a quarter of our bombers to taking out the SA Ms and haul the rest back to hunt for subs!"

"I'm hit! Bailing out, bailing out!"

"Damn it, we're taking ground fire!"

- Meanwhile, in his HQ, Lacallière is nervously reading the reports from his Intelligence Services about a possible naval encounter in the Western Troperian Sea between the Gethic Hand and their ennemies-.

What are these fools doing, for Christ's sake? How could Upper Poseidonia backstab the cause like this? How could they side with the communist beast? Oh, what should I do, what should I do?

As Lacallière was plunged inside his thoughts, the intercom linking him to his secretary beeped and he heard his subordinate speaking:

Sir, our western frontier border-guards have under custody a man that pretends he is an Ambassador from the Gethic Hand. What should we do of him?

Oh, ummm... Tell them to bring him safely and secretly in the 'gis, I will speak with him myself.
