Devastation 


 

Year 40 P.D

 

ANN - Broadcast

 

“Good evening this is Aestival News at 10pm tonight in the news, the Alliance of Nations picks a new General Secretary to determine the next five years of global policy, though increasingly the organisation is being sidelined and certain regulations are being ignored by countries around the world. The Kornograv SFSR were selected to send a representative to become the General Secretary and set up the new policy agenda, the plans for the organisation and attempt to bolster the struggling organisation during these times of so called peace. How the other Countries of the world will react to this decision is yet to be known, but most foreign offices are expressing congratulations towards the Kornograv for being selected. 

 

Police Authorities in the Xi’ian Provinces have uncovered the body of Professor Antov Korolov, noted Physicist, Engineer and Nephilite Expert in their Capital City. Under the guise of a false identity Professor Korolov was in hiding for many years due to his weaponised Nephilite Device that appeared to awake the Kaiju, while no nation officially levied charges against him many sought to blame him for the Devastation War. Professor Korolov was discovered dead in his apartment with all windows and doors shut, appearing to have been killed by an unknown suspect and the cause of death being his throat being opened by a sharpened object. Authorities are unsure what to make of this as Korolov’s presence in Xi’ian was unknown to them. 

 

It is announced that construction will continue on the Orbital Elevator foundations across the world, the megastructure project being started by the Schenberg Conglomerate an Emritian Corporation focused mainly in the energy sector. Representatives from the Corporation will begin construction as soon as the host nations once more agree to the terms originally set forth before the Devastation War over forty years ago. It is hoped with resources being funnelled into the construction the megastructure could potentially see completion within twenty to thirty years with the assistance of construction Icarus Suits to fasten the pace of the project. That’s it for the major headlines, now stay tuned to for sports and weather.”

 

Tautu Republika

 

While no nation was ever left unscathed by the Kaiju attacks of the Devastation Wars, the Tautu territory was hit lighter than the others due to its location seemingly having fewer Kaiju emerge in the seas to its south. Due to this the people of the Republika are seemingly better off than many people in the world with a higher standard of living and are somewhat isolated from the rest of the world leading to others seeing them as complacent. It will be up to the current leaders of the Republic to set up a vision and pave the way for the future. 

 

The Corporation

 

With a simple name but a complex history, this corporate entity has shown the world what it means by “Hostile Takeover” through its relentless acquisition of land and capital throughout the Devastation War. Though there are some grumblings mainly from the Emritians concerning how they acquired many of their assets their position is secure due to their efforts in fighting the Kaiju and the strategic location they hold in the straits that separate the North and South of the Continent. Many outside parties are very much interested in the Corporations efforts in Space, especially the Schenberg Conglomerate which seeks to create an orbital ring of Solarpanels. 

 

Representatives from the Schenbergs would request to meet with the Corporation [Event]

 

Fairfax Defense Solutions International

 

Fairfax has seen its business rise exponentially throughout the Devastation War, once it was just over a platoon in strength now it occupies enough territory to be considered a Corporate State. Despite the CEO Michael Gallagher’s discharge from the Emritian Military, the President of the Republics maintains a healthy business relationship with the CEO. Many within the Executive see Fairfax as a potential way to exert influence overseas without having to mobilise any of their own home forces, therefore business dealings are encouraged and certain officers within the Emritians will find themselves seeking employment at the Company once their service has ended. 

 

+10,000 Bonus Starting Income, Investment from the Emritians

 

Xi’ian Provinces

 

The Fujians eye their Colonies with envy and a lust to reassert direct rule, but still find themselves dogged down and unable to rise up and meet the challenge due to the nature of the competing factions within the once vast Empire. The Xi’ian will find fast friends with the Yashida and Emritians and ought to be able to secure themselves vast wealth should they play the diplomatic game between the powers well. 

 

POI: Orbital Elevator Foundations: The Schenberg Conglomerate began construction on three Orbital Elevator Foundations before the Devastation Wars. They will likely seek to restart construction of the Elevator with your nation's permission.

 

POI: The Great Boneyard: Where the Kaiju Corpses end up, biological material extracted along with interestingly unrefined Nephilite. The nation which this eyesore is located in is compensated by allowing all resources extracted to be granted to them. + 5 Unrefined Nephilite, +1 Research Slot.

 

The Death of Anton Korolov is something of an embarrassment for the regime, firstly for not knowing he was there, secondly for the death of seemingly the most prominent Nephilite Expert in the entire world. An Investigation will need to be thorough and find answers. [Event]

 

Exotec Corporation

 

Due to its safety within the vast mountains of the Northern Continent the Exotec Corporations little fief has found itself without having to suffer the horrors of war, many of the wealthy decided to move to this City in the Sky and give patronage to the Corporation in exchange for their safety. 

 

+20,000 Bonus Starting Income

 

Sumiyoshi Clan

 

The Sumiyoshi find themselves under the sphere of the Yashida Group, being somewhat subordinate to the Great Zaibatsu to its South. Though this is not so bad of a relationship as the Sumiyoshi find themselves protected by the Yashida Fleet and more importantly its vast forces of Icarus Suits. It will need to play its cards right in order to maintain favour with the Yashida and keep the greedy clutches of the Fujians from attempting to take back their former Colonies. 

 

Old Man Yashida summons the Sumiyoshi Clan to a Board Meeting [Event]

 

Federal Republic of Almania

 

The Almnians had suffered greatly during the Devastation War with their brutal civil war and Kaiju attacks destroying much of what was once considered a great cultured nation. However they found themselves embraced in brotherly Republican friendship between them and the Emritians, leading to a massive plan to reconstruct the nation known as the “Edison Plan” named after the President for Life of the Republics. Much of this money had been used to rebuild the shattered infrastructure and build the gigantic wall that surrounds the nation now but the final installment of the plan is due this year.

 

POI: Draken Aerial Shipyards: This massive foundry was constructed to help arm the various armies, it provides a boon to whomever controls it in regards to building up aerial naval strength. +10 SP

 

+15,000 Starting Money from Emritian

 

Tsardom of Khasavo

 

While the lands of Khasavo were not severely affected by the Kaiju incursions they were still devastated by the civil war, though with some aid from the United Principalities they were able to rebuild, at the cost of the Tsardom being considered within the Sphere of Chryse. While the Communists lay to the East of the once great Empire, it finds friends in the West and sufficient protection. With virgin lands to the East, West and South the Tsardom could be set for a full recovery, though Kaiju have been roaming the Northern Waters more and more since the end of the Devastation War, almost as if they’re probing after so many attacks in the South.

 

Skylords of Avar

 

The people of the world regard the Skylords with high distrust, the AON presently make annual inspections of the Skylords city to ensure that they are kept within the mandate of given to them. Presently threats are abound of a human nature, the threats being the various Pirates that have formed from salvaged naval vessels around the world.

 

Raptures Hand

 

The illusive organisation has maintained its secrecy and its existence is still unknown to the nations of the world, living as outcasts of society and doing what they can to maintain this secrecy.

 

The Cult receives a visitor from afar [Event]

 

Kornograv SFSR

 

The fledgling Communist Nation had found itself in the fairly presitgious role of becoming the General Secretary of the Alliance of Nations, this comes with many benefits of course but also downsides as now the eyes of the world were now set upon the Kornograv Government and leadership. Much of the inner workings and bureaucracy of the Alliance itself was made up from Nobles from Chryse, Government Officials from the Emritian Republics and various factional members from the Fujians. Kornograv now had the unenviable task of balancing all these factions within the bureaucracy of the organisation it was now at the head of.

Sumiyoshi Clan

Music 1

Bullets rip through the air, following a object hurtling through the sky itself. Dozens of soldiers manned post all over a small bit of city grid. Flak AA and missiles were being frantically shot into the air. What looked like a complete war-zone was perhaps not all to meet the eye. Dodging another bout of munitions, The Draco finally can be seen. A masterfully designed Icarus suit, resplendent in Red and White. The entire mech was sleekly curved, almost no intersections viewable. The entire mech seemed smooth and one piece. And just like that it was darting back into the skies. Sensors from it’s safety locked guns rang out, hitting multiple positions. But the troops did not die, their weapons and target systems simply shut down. The surviving targets doubled down, and more troops flooded in. The mock fire fight was lighting up now. A few mechs can even be seen dropping from the sky, hit by the blanks. 

 

“Red 4 move your team further right! The rest with me we’re darting back in” Takashima Sumiyoshi’s voice rang out across the shared comm networks. Leader of the infamous Lotus Corp, and a direct heir of the Clan itself. He spoke with fire in his voice, emotion tinging every word. He is the darling Ace of the Clan, their best rising pilot. And today he had possibly met his match. Old Takamoto was really testing him today. Every time the Corp made an attack run, they lost more. And the soldiers continued to pour in from bunkers around the training grounds. “Hold here and fire!” The Corp strung out in air, hovering as they unleashed the full range of their arbitrament. Across the grounds positions were being wiped out. But it was not enough, as the soldiers weapons began to find their mark too. With his corp dropping like stones, Takashima desperately kept scoping and firing on positions.

In the blink of an eye the balance was shifted. Out of no where The Kaji flew out of it’s hiding place. Saito Yushi’s personal mech, a stark contrast to The Draco. It was far more squat, and angular. Rivets clamped each layer of steel at the joints. And the weapons were far more short range, not meant for elegant flying and long ranged shots. Saito and her Corp began to storm through positions targeting the Lotus Corp. With the combined arms, Takashima quickly sprung back into command. The training grounds are cleared, and everyone heads to the hangar...

 

– Music 2

 

Saito Yushi eagerly clambers out of her mech, lighting incense on her way out. Greeting her is Saito’s personal mech crew. All close friends she had elevated from the menial Clan ranks. They had proven themselves alongside her, forging a name for The Kaji. The rest of her Corp did the same, gathering around Saito and her crew. “We did good today! Everyone get a drink on me tonight” The Cheers reached a higher pitch, until a hushed silence fell on them all. Takashima Sumiyoshi and his closest lieutenants had descended on the crowd from their own mechs. The lower caste of Saito’s Corp all dropped to their knees with heads bowed. A prime member of the Clan, one did not stand tall and try to look Takashima in the eyes. A once jubilant crowd now fell silent as one of their Lords angrily waded through them.

 

Bowing deeply, Saito began to greet him. “Commander, congr-“ That was as far as she got before being cut off. “You too too long and cost me half my Corp! You knew the plan yet you and your dogs could not execute it. While my men were shot down you sulked in girders. Next time attack when I order it! I-“ And then something one does not see much of happened. The great Takashima was also dropping to his knees in stone cold silence. Takamoto Sumiyoshi herself was elegantly entering the hangar. Followed by her retinue, top generals, and government officials. The leader of the Sumiyoshi Clan, she was a true force to be reckoned with. For almost fifty years Takamoto has led her Clan to prestige and wealth.

 

“Saito, congratulations on your victory” She crooned. “Takashima if her corp had sprung earlier, you all would of been eliminated.” Waving her hand in dismissal of the trivial subject, she snaps out. “Now you two come with me” Rising from their knees the two Corp commanders hastily follow their Matron as she heads to the Palace. “You two have been wasting enough time shooting at soldiers... I know you have been looking for more. Well I just so happen to have your next task.” The trio walks past the council room, surprising both the Aces. Finally they reach a small door, leading back to the hangar. Turning around, Takamoto begins. “I am sending both of you to the Yashida. We are sending them our best Aces and mechs to learn. And hopefully express our good will and trust with the family. Wait for the pilots to clear out, then head south at once.”

Neo Yokosaki was the beating heart of the Sumiyoshi Clan. And perhaps the most modern and aesthetic of the Fujian cities. Life went on 24/7 in this city, never stopping. Clubs, Stores, Casinos, they lit the sky up with their multicolored lights. At every level bridges and lanes of cars flooded the streetes. Massive towers overlooked the lower levels, shimmering in ads and commercials. Districts of commercial and residential blended and changed weekly, focused around armored hangars loaded with mechs. Any who travel to this strange city describe the lights and neon signs as a surreal dream world. Here drugs and crime went hand in hand, and was encouraged. Everything was run on a tight line however. Mobs of Sumiyoshi armsmen roamed the city, enforcing. At the heart of it all is the Clan’s Palace and gardens. A massive complex, blending nature and science into one. From here the numerous edicts roll out.....

Locally the Sumiyoshi Clan begins to tap into their organized crime empire. Across both cities, and the realm, Clan family members run local operations. They control the drug and human traffic supply. Most also own business, and participate in local government. This year the Clan needs to call on this ‘mafia’ network. They need to raise as much funds as possible for next year. And so Sumiyoshi regulars are sent to collect tribute from the multiple branches of crime within the Realm.

 

A Council is called for all ex Fujian colonies. The desire to hold a private conference to discuss local matters.

Juris rubbed his eyes and sighed in irritation, those damned fools had neglected to take advantage of their economic boom and opted to expand their air fleet for the next five years. Hours of argument had just taken place before the signing of the bill and the only accomplishment Juris had achieved was stressing himself. The car ride did not help soothe his mood either with the distance and equally long traffic confining him to an unending torment of internal monologue. His driver and secret service men seemed disinterested in sparking conversation and almost seemed drugged, his focus entirely on the road or.. completely spaced out. It seemed every minute was an hour here and the neon reflections surrounding the street did much to mask the night.

 

c-VMhU-02ciWHYidlFuwzzsB4ts117uUtVitt78vOg7Nd1B0IGxJOdIypN_MkX023xfk7kzK3yt2K26ykZSjJPFwD_SK75fvq5sL8YQqWavJBvLKl8tXyZiK6M2Wn0crG6fMiRlM

 

Seemingly three hours passed before Juris reached his destination , 3 AM seemed to be his usual arrival to his home on the outskirts of Lettish. It wasn’t a very large home by any means, fit to house a standard family of four though its occupancy is instead the president and three guards on alternating watches. Tiring routine after routine, he talked with the man on watch before entering inside and undoing his tie. Usually Juris would unwind with an exquisite bottle of Exotec wine, he instead opted to watch the news and relax on his velvet sheeted sofa.

 

jcCwdUBg0YTF9JYu9jZ6Ixf9sbjHqnhP2kvu4p0VElpiw0K08L8Qq0TKGk0m1-45A1Jx1baMVDwR_8MDaTj1NP1ij_SCAXMCMO8eLkYz67OHB0vi-a_seRNLkOdmE83vnzQZRbqg

 

“BREAKING NEWS: PROFESSOR ANTOV KOROLOV FOUND DEAD IN XI’AN PROVINCES.”

The announcement shattered any hopes of a peaceful week  for Juris, he’d prepare a statement in the morning for the council to discuss the situation. No doubt they wouldn’t care to rework the bill but he could at least secure funding for the civilian sector in Lettish. Maybe he should start now? No… Juris reached instead for the Exotec wine. It was time to relax.

 

As complicated as being president was of this beautiful and bountiful republic, the little things you could never be forgotten by Juris. Starting out as a simple mayor of his city ten years after the devastation war kicked off forced him to find many outlets to relieve the mudanity of his task as leader. Groomed specifically to be a strong man in a hard time, he was destined to enforce that his successor would receive a nation far greater than anyone's expectations. 

 

The next day would be far busier than Juris had expected, the press demanding his statements on the death of some man that a true leader cared little to place blame on. His choice to weaponize Nephilite was a matter of necessity in the eyes of the Tautu Republika. 

 

Despite the hounds at the entrance to his house, the helicopter ride back to the capital was ten times quicker than the ‘shitty and nerving’ car ride he dealt with last night. Even the landing pad was clean and away from the prying eyes of the public and press situated in the interior of a beautiful council hall. Greeting the president with a military stance and salute, Major Isaac in command of the protecting company gave him the run down of reports from Andris Gallows, the defense minister. Nothing to worry about, the Kaiju Warning Post still has not detected anything as they haven't in the past few years.

 

With the peace of the nation well in order and a future naval bill on the horizon, it was time to talk about the pressing political ramifications with the death of the man who weaponized a dastardly energy source.

The Korolov Investigation

The mysterious death of Professor Korolov caught the world by surprise, more importantly, it caught the city of Tian’an by surprise! Unaware of the scientist’s presence in the city, the discovery of the man’s corpse has shaken local authorities, dumbfounded at how such an infamous man could remain hidden for so long. Regardless, numerous media outlets throughout the city quickly jump on the story as local authorities diligently begin their work.

As quickly as Tian’an authorities begin, they realize what a curious crime it is. Having been found several blocks away from his residence, Korolov’s body is riddled with broken bones and lacerations, the largest one being found on his throat. The body, along with several security tapes confirm a drawn out chase between Korolov and his assailant, ultimately ending with the scientist's death.

In terms of evidence, provincial authorities find great heaps of it, including countless video recordings, the murder weapon (left at the scene, no identifiable fingerprints found), and even an eye witness, who observed the murder itself. After countless hours of investigative work, the suspect is identified as an employee of one of The Corporation’s numerous subsidies, apparently within the city for some business matter or another. The witness claims to have seen the main wielding the knife while wearing a glove of some kind, explaining the lack of fingerprints. The Identity of the murderer remains unknown. The Corporation’s government’s involvement in the murder of Professor Korolov is unknown.
 

In an international announcement early in the year, said details of the murder as well as the Corporation’s possible involvement are revealed to global community by the wise Hegemon Zhao Hai. Following up on this, he makes a public request to dispatch a purely investigative unit into The Corporation in order to further look into this terrible crime committed against a citizen of the Provinces.


Rest assured, citizens, Provincial Authorities will continue to investigate the matter.

---Actions---

Financial Actions:
-The Hegemon orders the construction of infrastructure to better facilitate commerce throughout Tian’an (40,000 for 4 Trade Depots)
-Furthermore, the civilian sectors receive funding. (5,000 for 1 Civ industry)
-The sprawling agricultural district is expanded upon (5,000 for 1 Farm)
-200 is saved

Research Actions (Passive):
-A kaiju’s hide is thick and tough, resilient against even modern weaponry, and the Provinces lack mobile equipment to deal with such threats. Using the numerous kaiju corpses accumulated at the Graveyard, scientists begin devising a toxic gas which could be deployed from artillery, bombs, or missiles, which could quickly neutralize Kaiju. Ideally, such a weapon would not affect human targets, but if it must, so be it. [NEW]
-Work begins on an advanced anti-missile // anti-air system, such would hopefully be an improvement on previous models, employing large caliber repeating auto-cannons or longer range missiles of their own to quickly intercept  missiles, jets, and icarus suits. [NEW]
-While the Dragon guns already pack a significant punch, there are always things to be improved. Jade Corp is given significant funding, as well a contract to design and produce a railgun. Given the size of Dragon guns, its assumed they should have little issue fitting such a mechanism in the package, and making sure it packs a MASSIVE punch [NEW]


Mod // Diplomatic Actions:
-The Corporation is requested to allow Provincial personnel within the city so that they may continue to investigate the mysterious death of Anton Korolov.
-Sumiyoshi’s invitation is accepted.

-A diplomatic mission is sent to Emiritia and Yashida, hoping to better relations between the two countries. (MOD)
-A symbolic and annual ‘tribute’ is paid to the Fujianese Emperor (MOD)

What could be said of The Corporation at this point? Not a whole lot, that is for sure. But with time ticking on the eventualities of conflict, interests, and the overpowering desire of shmoney certainly are things that the MegaCorp would take into account. Now with the prevalence of people knocking at their door each day, there isn’t much of a purpose to not let them swing wide open. At least, that is the thought of the man who would seek to lead such a corporation.

 

“Now, tell me again what is it they want?” Was the irritated response that the transponder unit received for an irrelevant question. The metallic voice of the pseudo-bionic… thing responded to the Chairman in it’s usual, flat tone. “Unrivaled entry, in search of the-” The ringing resonation of a gunshot echoed throughout the office as the barrel of the Chairman’s pistol was left smoking. The sound of crumpling flesh and metal dropping to the floor drew a lengthened sigh from the man as he looked towards the mirror standing in the corner of the room that harbored his most trusted advisor; himself.

 

“Stop standing there looking so handsome and help me think, hm?” The man’s dress shoes clapped against the tiled floor of the room with each step, drawing him closer to his own reflection. “What would they need from me? Money? Certainly got that… Looks?” He stared at the mirror, grinned, then crossed his arms as he thought to himself, a dangerous game for a man of his liking. After a few moments of pondering, the man’s fingers snapped against his palm as he turned back to the table and hastily approached it, pressing a button on the reliable phone stand. A brief moment of silence on the intercom, and a hastened voice spoke, “Yes? What do you need?” A quick clear of his throat and the Chairman responded, “Well, I need you to go and see that our guests are taken care of. Though, not too many of them, understand? Keep the boys on a leash, and I don’t mean our own.” A deep sigh was his response, though a grumbled, “Understood.” followed before the intercom went silent. And with that, the Chairman could rest easy as the task was out of his hands, though another arose as his eyes drifted to the body laying on his now defiled tile floor.

 

Another day, another catastrophe avoided. Nothing new, right?

Bundesrepublik Almaland

 

“And we are live!” was the first words heard throughout the Republic as its citizens turned on their televisions, and other devices. The camera panned outwards to reveal a colossal structure, stretching forth along the land for as far as the eye could see; The Alamandian Wall. A crowd had gathered upon its ramparts, which was wide enough to look as if it were a normal highway, which it partially was during its construction days. 

 

A key feature of this crowd was its arrangement - a large central podium, two Icarus frames, flags of all Alliance nations, and its unique cast of actors. It was a State Address, done so by the Chancellor of Almania, Konrad Meier. The Great Kaiju Wall of Almania was formally completed, stretching from coast to coast.

 

Such a momentous day it was, that delegates from all around Aestival paid witness to such an event. The ceremony commenced with a 121-gun salute, a cacophony of artillery roaring forth along the length of the wall. In timely formation, Jets flew above, releasing the colors of the Republic in the air. The event was more of a show of Almanian force than anything else.

 

“Citizens of Almania, Peoples of Aestival. We come here gathered today in celebration of one of mankind’s greatest achievements. One more step taken to thwarting the Kaiju threat, and returning to our dominance of the world as one species...”

The Chancellor spoke on, stoically and composed - professionalism at its core. He was flanked by Unit Nachzeher, and Unit Alp, the two most fearsome Icarus Suits in the Republic, piloted by their Aces, Wilhelm Ader, and Heinrich Roul, who sat on the edge of their cockpits. The two frames were painted in the same stripes as the Republic; the Black, White, and Yellow. Their shields at the side, and Icarus rifles in hand. 

 

Television companies would document a whopping 20 million Almanians tuned in to see the ribbon-cutting ceremony - laying weight on the importance of that day. The Wall had deeper meanings to it however, a nation so traumatized by the horrors of the depths that its response would be to hide them away from sight behind exorbitant structures.

 

Following the conclusion of the ceremony, Chancellor Meier was flown back to New Alia - formally declaring his disapproval of the appointment of Kornograv to the Alliance of Nation’s General Secretary. A lengthy tirade ensued, of which the Chancellor took time to explaining the evils of Trentism based ideologies, and its effects it will have in corrupting the already weakening Alliance. The Republic had developed a strong disdain for the political extremes ever since the devastating Almanian Civil War concluded, and have since voiced their opinions on such on the International Theater.

 

Though, it was just another day in Konrad’s tenure as Chancellor, a position he’s held for the past six years, the repeated monotony of it all. However, in all those years, the sight of New Alia from the top of Parliament Spire never failed to impress. 

 

Towering above the Almanian Capital, one could see all of its machinations. It was an endless sprawl, continuously expanding ever since its destruction following D-Day - it had adopted a modern Emritian layout scheme in its design and architecture, infusing Almania’s history and culture within it. It was masterfully regimented, lowering the rate of crime, poverty, and other societal issues, the unemployed made to work in reconstruction camp as the demand for labour never ceased. It presented to the world a modest and clean metropolis, its citizenry kept in line by overwhelming surveillance and policing. It’s underbelly, Old Alia, would be an entirely different topic for discussion.

 

Judging by the dull state of affairs in Almania; the State of the Union was strong. The worst affliction of the day being repetition and boredom. One last congratulatory hurrah is given in celebration of the Edison Plan’s final conclusion. The bond between the Almanian Republic and the Emritian Republics having been solidified in the eyes of the public. Now free from the ‘shackles’ of foreign governments, Almania was free to design its own new destiny.

A detachment of 100 Helicopters, 100 Icarus Units, and 1000 Mechanized Infantry are dispatched from the Republic to secure the site of a Nephilite vein. By the end of next year, General Friedrich has detailed a Forward Operation Base to be established in the region, in order to lay the foundations for a new Nephilite Refinery. [Mod]

 

Staying true to the Almanian defensive doctrine, further capital and resources are spent into keeping up with the progression of the new modern era, mainly updating the renowned Republican defensive equipment. It is hoped by the conclusion of this new R&D Project, Icarus Suits will be outfitted with sturdier, yet lighter shields. At the moment, researchers are only searching for the best material to be used for such ambition, scouring Aestival’s data for anything and everything related to such. [Mod]

 

Research begins in the utilization of new and modern Atlas Suits, the previous ones from the Devastation War having been decommissioned due to their non-eco friendly impact on local environment. Scientists, engineers, researchers, and everyone else attached are preliminary gathered, vetted and recruited – initiating Project Atlas. [Started Research on Atlas Suits,  funding 1400g to begin gathering all necessary personnel.]

THE SKYLORDS OF AVAR


asgardia-flag-1 - COMET TV Sci-fi Network


 

 

A pinprick of light pierced the watery darkness. A tiny, low whine began, slowly raising in pitch, as the light shone brighter. Suddenly, the water rushed aside, and a horrid, choking gasp rose, as the figure in the padded capsule suddenly breathed air, as his breathing apparatus disconnected. A multicoloured spectrum exploded across his eyes as he opened them, and he went into a rigid, shaking spasm, as rough hands held him down, until the fit finally subsided.

 

A nurse quickly gave the figure an injection, and the man on the table gave a groan, and again opened his eyes. He squinted hard, as they slowly focused, but eventually he could see, and he looked into the harshly lined face of a wrinkled old crone, who leaned down to kiss his forehead, tears dripping down her nose and landing on his cheeks. "Varuak…" she whispered fondly, running her hands through his hair. "It worked, your plan worked, and now you are returned to us." The figure opened his mouth to talk, and coughed violently, before drawing in a ragged breath. "Orira." He rasped back "I knew you would not fail." Skylord Orira smiled, backing out of the room, as orderlies rushed forwards to attend to Skylord Varuak.

 

As they massaged his muscles, she watched through the one way glass, surrounded by her fellow Skylords. "And so it begins." She murmured. "The AON must never find him, not until he can lead us back to glory, and fulfill the majesty of our cause." A growl of agreement echoed through the room, as the Skylords of Avar watched their leader return from the dead, to destroy the Unknowing heathens, once and for all.

 


 

 

ACTIONS

 

-A major burst of economic investment gets underway, as the Skylords opt to increase Avar's industrial capacity. (8 Civ Manufactories - 60k)

 

-Funds are spent here and there… (5k REDACTED)

 

RESEARCH

 

-Battlecruisers

With the rising threat of piracy, Avar begins to look into the development of Battlecruiser technology. Though restrictions are in place, limiting the Avarian Sky Fleet to a mere 2 Battlecruisers, the Skylords deem it appropriate to secure two such ships as swiftly as possible, to protect Avar from potential enemy incursion.

Several FDS AMAX suits on the inspection line prior to deployment.

 

“Diagnostics complete, all systems nominal.. Wait, save for loose shock dampener 1B.” the pilot, announced within the cockpit of his AMAX suit, which then amplified his voice outside the vehicle. Nonchalantly, he flicked a few switches and pushed a few buttons - this was routine.”Prep for dismount.” he declared, as a hydraulic hiss resounded in his cabin, and the suit’s abdomen opened up to reveal the pilot. Promptly, he hopped out of his mech suit, falling some distance and hacking to tuck and roll as he hit the ground. 

 

It was the ground of the maintenance bay, evident by the other various Icarus suits in various states of repair and the engineers crews milling about them. The pilot walked up to an engineer, who seemed occupied with his datapad in hand, “She’s all yours.”

“Thanks, lieutenant. We’ll have her ready by this afternoon.” the engineer nodded, waving the pilot off and ushering his repair staff forward. The pilot took a step, taking a good look at his AMAX, almost sad to depart.

 

“Lieutenant Gallagher!” a voice called. The pilot turned from his trance, identifying the voice’s source. “James.” the person said, his tone lowered. Gallagher identified him as a fellow pilot - his wingman, 2LT Forsythe Griffiths. “Me and the boys were gonna run a sortie into the North Range this evening. Care to join us?”

 

James Gallagher glanced back to his suit, now crawling with fixers and techies. “Yeah, I can make it.” he said lowly, scratching his chin.

 

Griffiths cast an inquisitive gaze over Gallagher, sensing something was amiss. “Something wrong, James?”

 

“Oh no,” he turned back to his friend, “Nothing. She’s just longing for some action is all. Being all cooped up like this - it’s taking a toll on ‘er.”

 

Griffiths chuckled, “It’s just a suit, bro. Though, it is a shame... a shame that a bunch of sweaty men are rubbing their grubby hands all up on her.”

 

Gallagher shook his head, “You’re a clown. Anyways, a shame Viper’s been collecting dust. Hopefully we’ll have an assignment soon.”

 

“Chin up, pal.” Griffiths replied, “I hear there’s more Kaiju sightings on the north coast. And that space elevator - think they’re looking to finish construction - they’ll need a detail.”

 

“You know what? I’ve always wanted to go to the Orient.” Gallagher scoffed.

 

“Great. Maybe the eastern women will give you the time of day.”

Exotec Corporation

 

Tired from a long day at work, Friedrich von Erlenfeld turns off his TV, leaning back on the couch in the spacious living room of his appartment in the Central Complex of Eibenstadt. The people in the Exotec Corporation, by last years counting numbering exactly 10 million, have been undisturbed throughout most of the past decades. Steadily growing, isolated, yes, but firmly, having established themselves in these mountains. “Space elevator, hm...” Friedrich murmurs. His eyes wander to the windows that give a great view of the glittering city stretching out, as well as the valley itself to the horizon. For the naked eye too far, but with a good pair of binoculars or a telescope you could spot the sea from the balcony. A faint blue line underneath the sky, the curvature of the world just allowed for that.  “That might be an interesting project actually. New resources to be claimed, easier access into space, maintaining, fixing and cleaning up our satellites...” Friedrich rises from the couch, heading over to the next room, into his private office. His daughters were out in the city, with the young Magdalena finally old enough for a drink, she was invited by her older sister. Young and wild, he did expect only the best though, not too much drink, but enough to have more fun. Then again, it would not be bad to have a bad first experience, Friedrich hums bemused as he seats himself at his desk, logging into his Exotec system. “Let’s see if we can arrange something here... who is online at this late hour... Heberich? I think he might still be tinkering with his coffee machine. Oh well. Rüdenburg... Manner... Goppner... ah, Mathias is still up. Let’s give this nephew of mine a call then.” Friedrich smirked as he put in the little earpiece and selected the call button on the mentioned contact.

Research (Neph 10, Tech 6)

2 research slots; 2 neph-tech slot

 

Neph 1: As Nephilite reactors have become a core component for warships and Icarus and Atlas units, the downsizing of them becomes the integral question. Although the science teams of Exotec doubt that a full dependence on a material such as Nephilite might be dangerous in the future, but in the end, there is a lack of easy alternatives. Fusion perhaps? Xylorite? Don’t be silly, that’s not a thing. Is it? The goal is to achieve a reactor that can be fitted into a proposed Hazardous Enviroment suit, something another research team is dedicated to. And for that, they need a small sized Nephilite reactor to power the whole thing, as the capabilities of the suit shall be quite formidable, comparable to the Exotec Science Cruiser, just in small.

 

Neph 2: The second science team dedicated to Nephilite research proceeds with exploring the option of energy and force projection based on energy extracted from Nephilite itself. Whilst not quite an exact strong point, it’s not conventional technology, projecting a forcefield. An energetic shield however may have insane appliances, from safety protocols, to combat shielding, protection against simple enviromental hazards, fire prevention! All in lieu with the Erlenfeld Ideology, the science team, led by Johanna von Erlenfeld, the CEO’s older daughter proceeds.

 

Tech 1: Hand in hand as good as possible, Tech Team 1 proceeds with the kickoff for the development of the Hazardous Enviroment suit. The layout should be as follows: A heavy, perhaps quite bulky suit (at the start, slimming down in later versions) that fully protects the wearer from enviromental hazards and force. With integrated electric servomotors powered by a Nephilite reactor (Neph Team 1), it shall vastly enhance the users strength (and counteract the mobility impairment from the suit itself), as well as allowing the user to utilize a very wide array of sensors, scanners and science tools integrated into the suit to assess situations and detect the undetectable as needed. Whilst the original intention is most certainly peaceful, the Head Scientist knows very well, that such a suit might be easily used for combat as well, promoting the creation of a super-heavy infantry unit, the suits accompanied by heavy duty full automated gauss rifles. The proposal of the Exotec Hazardous Enviroment Combat Infantry Suit (Exotec HECIS) is on the desk of Friedrich von Erlenfeld and albeit he has not signed it off, he has not spoken out against it. Going by his word, proceed at your own discretion, but he shall keep an eye on it.

 

Tech 2: Led by Friedrich von Erlenfeld in person, this team begins to take the first steps into creating a new space program for Exotec! Exciting! Yey! Rockets! Satellites! And stuff! Unless Exotec already has such a thing. If they do, they’d work on inventing a shuttle for manned flight for the future. Powered by Nephilite.

Tsardom of Khasavo
mMQj7Hb.jpg

P.D 40
 

The Tsardom of Khasavo had rebuilt itself after the collapse and brutal civil war which by many was still ongoing. Kornograv, their communist rebels were an unfortunate participant in the AoN, which is what has pushed the Tsardom to keep its distance and silence in the AoN’s meetings and happenings. They were quite content to continue to rebuild and expand on their own, while they didn’t owe the Principality their loyalty or servitude but Chryse was nonetheless an important ally in holding out during the Civil War.

 

The RCKK being a third faction to arise in the civil war provides a decent buffer between Khasavo and the communist horde to the East. For now the Tsardom focuses internally building it’s economy and military force. Eyes fall east as a vast territory of City States and loose affiliated factions fill the area. Whether through conquest or diplomacy the Tsardom wishes to expand...if you believe the whispers.

RAPTURE’S HAND

PD 40

 

For decades, the faithful have hidden from the world and built their arsenal in preparation for the coming Crusade, the time when they would join the great kaiju Angels as instruments of God’s judgement on this world of sin. They minister to the downtrodden, the oppressed, the disillusioned across the globe, providing purpose, stoking anger and directing it toward the Godless. They work and live in the shadows, building a society ordered on the banishment of sin through singular obedience to the cause of the Prophet. His word is that of the Divine, and all who hear it know that the day of reckoning is fast approaching for those who still cling to the trappings of a dead, condemned world. The Rapture must be completed, and all must be judged.

 


 

Nephilite Research:

  • SLOT 1 Dirty Bombs. The Rapture was heralded by the great device of Saint Korolov, a bell that tolled around the world and brought forth the Angels. It will be a long road to understanding the Divine relationship between the Angels and this holy element, but its power and ability to attract the sacred beasts is obvious. At the very least, on a practical level, an explosive device seeded with nephilite in a civilian location could be quite damning for heretical morale and bring more to the faith through fear.

 

Conventional Research:

  • SLOT 1 – Special Forces. The Hand requires not only zeal and fury to cleanse the world of sin, but also rigorously trained elite operatives to carry out its clandestine missions. Training is brutal, a true test of faith and flesh. Science and sermon are both wielded, with steroids and psycho-indoctrination each playing their part in creating true instruments of God.
  • SLOT 2 –  ICBM Rocketry. Many infidels believe they can escape the wrath of God by escaping into space. They must know that His judgement can reach them even where His angels cannot. Rapture’s forces are already well versed in the use of missiles, but efforts are put into producing long range rockets capable of reaching orbit.

Devastation 


 

Year 41 P.D

 

ANN - Broadcast

 

“Good Evening this is Aestival News at 10pm, tonight's headlines are the heightened tensions after the death of Professor Anton Korolov. Xi’an Authorities investigation suggests that the prime suspect of the murder was an employee in a subsidary company for the Entropy Corporation. Having submitted its findings to the Alliance of Nations, General Secretary Sanderski announced he would send Alliance representatives to assist further investigation within Corporate Territory. The Entropy Corporation Protested this and disallowed the investigators entry into their territory. A vote was held in the Alliance Security Council to sanction Entropy but it was vetoed. It is understood that General Secretary Sanderski is working tirelessly with ambassadors and representatives to end the deadlock.

 

Piracy once more becoming an issue across the world, in 35 P.D. Dozens of ships that were set to be scrapped in accordance with the Arnheim Peace Accords were stolen by ex-service men and women across the world after their military service was terminated and employment nullified. Many felt betrayed they took to the skies with these ships. In a recent skirmish between Yashida-Sumiyoshi Security Forces and a Light Carrier belonging to the so called Sky Devil Outlaw Association it was found the issue is much more widespread than initially anticipated. With many of the Free Cities and their Associations reporting mass raids on their shipping.

 

A Kaiju sighting has been confirmed by Drakengard heading towards the Xi’an Provinces, it is considered to be of Category 2 in its size and it is accompanied by many smaller Kaiju. Thus far attempts of heading off this group have failed and Cornelius Draken is recommending deployment of the Damocles and its fleet in order to protect the Provinces, though only the General Secretary can officially sanction his deployment. Stay tuned for sports and weather.”

 

Tautu Republika

 

With the Naval Bill expansion it creates many good job prospects for those that are unemployed within the Republic, it signifies to outsiders that the economy is strong and stable relative to the world and its current situation and it generally leads to what is considered a fairly stable society.

 

The Research project looking into next generation turbines for the Jet Fighters of the Republican Airforce would be underway, it is believed it will be fully tested and ready by 44 P.D.

 

Creating a new ammunition type to break through Kaiju natural defences is simple enough, with research material leftover from Kaiju corpses and knowledge a prototype round should be ready by 45 P.D.

The Swarm Missile Project is underway, a delivery system is easy enough to create but a guidance system is very basic. Tautu Researchers determine that while the weapon itself should be effective enough it will be down to the tactical deployment of the weapon to be truly effective. Results are expected by 43 P.D.

 

The Corporation

 

Due to the current level of international scrutiny and controversy the Corporation finds itself in, it sees a stock price reduction and some civil disorder. -2000 G until 5,000 Military Police are recruited to “Discourage” lawbreaking.

 

Special Forces research is expected to be completed by 44 P.D.

 

An Incredibly ambitious project that will require several phases of research to meet breakthroughs. The first breakthrough is hoped to be seen by 48 P.D.

 

Improvements on the Elysium Interface are a fairly simple concept, though still complex to figure out. Something is expected by 50 P.D.

 

Fairfax Defense Solutions International

 

Fairfax see’s a bustling time, stock prices rise and generally there is a lot of contentment and skill put towards the work of the employees. The Emritians enjoyed their special relationship with the Corporation itself.

 

The Schenbergs would first ask for a meeting to discuss the terms of such an agreement. [Event]

 

Battle-Carriers are known as the most powerful class of warships in the world, so far only the most powerful nations and groups hold the ability to use them. Instead the team works on mastering the carrier concept to make regular carriers 48 P.D.

 

Upgrading the Drones sensors a reasonable achievable project, should be completed by 44 P.D.

 

The project to create a small energy cell from Nephilite is underway, creating something this small will take a long time but there is hope to see it done before the end of the decade. 48 P.D.

 

Xi’ian Provinces

 

The Xi’an Provinces find themselves in the crosshairs of a potential Kaiju incursion, within the next year or so. Drakengard informs the authorities that they will do their best to attempt to head off the incursion, but state that the exact efforts of what they can do are limited unless given the greenlight by the General Secretary.

 

Gas attacks had been attempted in the past with no avail to the Kaiju, though there are attempts to create something new to attempt to affect it. A corrosive agent is thought up but it is most certainly able to harm people as well as Kaiju, though it is thought that only the smaller Kaiju could really be killed by it, the corrosive agent itself barely harming larger Kaju. Research expected to be done by 45 P.D.

Research into improved AA would be simple enough. Expected completion 44 P.D.

 

Improvements to the Dragon Gun are researched and theorized, results expected around 48 P.D.

 

Exotec Corporation

 

The Project to create a miniaturized variant of the Nephilite Reactor is underway, it is something of a difficulty but not outside the realms of possibility. It is expected to see results by 50 P.D.

 

It had been theorized before that Nephilitic Energies could be used in such a manner to create barriers. Mostly just theories for now but the best scientists in the Exotec would begin researching this possibility. It has a similar expectation date of completion of 50 P.D.

 

Researching the Hazardous Environment Suit begins, results expected by 48 P.D.

 

Nephilite Powered rockets? Well an interesting proposition, the rocket frames itself can be designed through use of conventional tech, but the system to empower it would be best left to Nephilite based science teams. The rockets design and frame will however be ready by 48 P.D. after which Nephilitic research will be required to complete the project.

 

The Schenbergs thank the Exotec Corporation for the added investment to their space elevator project. They will invite Exotec researchers and engineers to study and learn from what they’re doing.

 

Sumiyoshi Clan

 

The Sumiyoshi had shown great skill in dealing with the Pirate Carrier near its borders, to the point that the Sky Devil’s completely withdrew from the Island and its territories, seeking easier plunder. The citizens of the Sumiyoshi take this as a sign of competence from their overlords and remain content and diligent in their work. The lieutenants of the Sumiyoshi do their best to gather a lump sum of cash from their reserves, they do this but tell the boss they can’t do this regularly, they have mouths to feed and people to pay. 5000G Bonus 

 

The Slag Missiles are put to the Sumiyoshi Labs, they ought to be ready by 46 P.D.

 

The Jets are put to the engineers and scientists of the Clan Holdings, they think they ought to have something they’d like by 45 P.D.

 

Old Man Yashida summons the Takashima back to the City [Event]

 

Federal Republic of Almania

 

The Almanian Research into creating light barrier shields begins, albeit slowly. Attempting to utilise the Nephilite reactor from within is the main goal of the science team to attempt to use Nephilitic particles to create the barriers. Expected results are by 52 P.D.

 

Atlas Suit research would begin and would be expected to be completed by 45 P.D.

 

Tsardom of Khasavo

 

One of the more powerful Princes from Chryse would make an official visit to the Khasavo, hoping to meet with the Tsar at the earliest convenience. [Event]

 

Secret Research is Secret.

 

The Khasavo Airforce keeps an eye on the Kaiju to the North, for now they seem to just be scouting the coast.

 

Skylords of Avar

 

The Avarians do their research all kept hidden from the prying eyes of the world. For now the AoN Inspectors are otherwise fooled or show disinterest in the sky nomads. 

 

Raptures Hand

 

The research into rudimentary dirty bombs progresses well, though it will take some time to even weaponise the Nephilite at the most basic level, it is expected that these bombs will be effective for terror attacks but may not be the best weapon for general warfare. Expected results 46 P.D

 

Special Forces research is expected to be completed by 44 P.D.

 

This research is quite an undertaking and it also is harder for the cult to hide, but it begins and is expected to be completed by 48 P.D. As a consequence they notice small Drakengard Patrols occurring in their territory.

 

Kornograv SFSR

 

The research into Atlas Suits would begin and is expected to be done by 45 P.D.

 

Railgun research is relatively easy for the SFSR due to its abundance in the world, it will be completed by 43 P.D.

 

The RCKK welcome the rapprochement and would invite representatives for a State Banquet in their territory. 

 

The Coasts are patrolled but the Kaiju are not interested in attacking, for now.

 

The Alpha Species

 

Simply the name they gave the Drakengard during the latter years of the Devastation War, they are tolerated to an extent their representative is given a seat on the AoN. They find themselves the subject of intrigue and disdain for the mutants that they are. Yearly AoN Inspectors enter their territory and are expected to return. Their territory is a hotbed for smuggling and pirates temporarily stopping off, obviously quite a few of these criminals never leave the cursed territory. 

 

A Visitor comes before the Harmon alone, unexpectedly. [Event]

Andris Berzina was a simple man born in a complex time, he grew up in a forgotten town that was destroyed in a minor Kaiju attack resulting in the death of his parents and younger brother while he attended boot-camp. Upon graduating there, he returned home on leave and spent his break helping clean up the rubble around his old home and reclaim it then sell it as the lease was now in his name. Using his newly acquired funds he spent most of his time learning the political system and rising through the ranks of the Tautu Armed Forces during the Devastation war. It was an arduous task, retiring with the rank of sergeant and moving onto the political scene now of ripe age to be considered for any election nationwide.

 

Running his way through the political scene he was finally chosen by Juris upon his election to serve alongside his term as the Secretary of Defense, these two like-minded individuals shared the nation's vision but disagreed on how to obtain it. They wanted a Nephilite free world with the Kaiju utterly destroyed right at their origin with little left to remember them by. To do this however, Andris seeks to fund many conventional projects to reduce Nephilite usage and find an alternative power source with the same properties.

Those ambitions weren’t on his mind today, the affairs in the AON had his full attention with the complete lack of unity the people seemed to display over these investigations. It was without a doubt only a matter of time before this corrupt organization dissolved completely if great stress from either a Kaiju resurgence or a war involving a major power took place.  The naval bill was a good start to begin the process of gaining some independence and self-reliance from the Drakengaard who would easily be overwhelmed if a world-wide Kaiju event erupted, especially in the near future. All this foresight stressed the secretary out and with Juris constantly nagging him at council meetings only seemed to heighten his addiction to medication like adderall that let him stay productive far into late night meetings. 

 

Recently the anxiety ridden secretary approved the formation of the first military police brigade with the civil disobedience taking place in the Corporation. The example of local police being unable to deal with riot control and keep the peace was enough to tip President Juris over and sign. Little to the knowledge of the president, Secretary Berzina intended to use this brigade  in order to protect the Future Dynamics facility and future military bases in order to increase national monopoly on its technology.

Despite his heavy focus on defense and future-proofing, Secretary Berzina leads a secret life outside his workplace taking to the beach and studying whenever he is free. The Devastation war didn’t strike fear but curiosity in him after the loss of his family, the only answer to him was the oceans and what lies in them. Deep  oceanography is a favorite past-time and topic for the man and regularly civilians will see him on the shores of Lettish in front of the great sea wall reading drinking the signature Tautu cola.

FAIRFAX DEFENSE SOLUTIONS, INT.

 


 

James Gallagher groggily awoke. He balled his hands into fist and rubbed at his eyes, finding what residue there made it a bit awkward to see.  He blinked hardly a few times and hardly  sat up and scooted backwards. As he regained a sense of his surroundings, he found himself in his quarters - a vast improvement to the infantryman’s dwellings - the AMAX pilots lived in penthouse suites in comparison. He lay still in his bed, the white sheets still neatly kept which he was buried under from waist down. By his doorside he saw his rifle propped up, but the door itself was open - and all the commotion from outside and in the hallway flooded in - harshly, to his ears. The men talked up a storm out there, conversing at various audible levels throughout the halls, while others rushed through.

 

“Sorry dude.” as he looked away, a voice came from the doorway. Griffiths. He looked back and saw his friend leaning against the door frame. However, he was kitted in full battle dress uniform - fatigues, plate carrier, and the like, with his neural interface uplink helmet tucked between his other arm and his side.

 

“Ah ****.” Gallagher cursed, “Don’t tell me you’re going and I’m sitting out.” he shot upwards, casting a glance to his watch.

 

Griffiths scoffed, “As much as I knew you’d miss me, that isn’t the case.”

 

“Huh?” Gallagher asked, in a bit of  a dazed state.

 

“Hm. Order was for everyone to get kitted earlier this morning. You slept through it. Anyways, turns out the bossman didn’t need our unit. 2nd and 3rd Infantry and 1st AMAX got the deployment.”

 

“Darn. I was looking forward to that.” Gallagher said dully.

 

“Don’t get too disappointed. Yeah, turns out those elevator-people don’t need all of us.” Griffiths clicked his tongue, “Anyways, enough of that. You may have forgotten, but we haven’t..”

 

“What’re you talkin’ about?”

 

“Your birthday, dipstick. Look, I told Big Steve, Rodney, Spencer, Colleen, and Kelsey to get ready just now. You should too - they’ll meet us in the courtyard. Maybe then we’ll go day-drinking or something.”

 

Gallagher chuckled, “Sounds absolutely pitiful. But I’ll oblige.”

Tsardom of Khasavo

P.D 41
mMQj7Hb.jpg

With each passing year the Tsardom’s budget grew and allowed for more expansion, as Kaiju attacks to the south come to the news as well as the apparent scouting in the north the Tsardom begins to focus its economic power to rebuilding its Army and Naval forces, both of which had seen not much attention since the Reconstruction.

 

While Khasavo holds much to worry about, there is news to bring celebration and hope in the region's continued prosperity. Tsärevich Nicholas Demidov II the only son of the Tsar will be marrying one of Maximillian Draken’s daughters giving the Tsardom deeper ties with the House of Draken and the United Principalities as a whole.

 

The Tsar claims that such a step is “One of the many to bring about the return of the Empire.” he is quoted in telling a local newspaper.
