Ghazghkull tribe wrote:As the rounds pinged off his armor Ghazghkull turned to the origin of the weapons fire only to feel a pain in his lower jaw. Looking down one of his massive tusk like incisors was snapped in half due to a bullet. The giant of a ork turned to the sky his arm mounted mega-shoota pointed to the air. "YOUZ WANT A PIECE OF ME!? YOUZ ZOGGING WANT A PIECE OF ME, WELL COME GET IT YEA SODS I'LL SHOOT YEA ALL DOWN MESELF," Ghazghkull roared as he added his own weapon to the fire storm of bullets and flak going into the air. From high in orbit seeing the german air power the ork captains released their response in the form of hundreds if not thousands of FIGHTA-BOMBAS. The ork "air/voidcraft" came sreaming down from on high filling the with dogfights and while not good in quality the FIGHTA-BOMBAS made up for it in sheer quantity as was how orks do things.

Bruz was not a happy ork his jammer was gone and now raining ordnance on his boyz but that anger subsided as his orkish nature took over reminding him that plenty more where they came from and, better them than me. So he continued with his plan of testing the enemy for weakness. Already he thought he'd found some and, others had proven little more then traps when they blew them to pieces. Despite this the massive waves of orks running through the city for the eastside fighting any and all on the way where still coming and in some areas growing in number and frequency.

"Boss da mekboyz has da stompas ready when wez gonna stomp all ovea the 'umies," a gretchen said the things beady little eyes focused on the ground.

"Oh don't worry they'll get movn' so for the propa scrap they want," Bruz said.

Meanwhile in the eradiated wastse of the ruins the orks had brought in something new to the battlefield the Squigg a ball of bad temperment even by ork standards and massive teeth on legs. The squiggs where roving in packs with orks following the little things as the suiggs sniffed out for the enemy. However squiggs where not the only thing being the sneaky gits that they where ork commados where about as well in their purple paint cause purple is for being sneaky you stupid git. while the plan was still the same get the whole city into one massive melee it appeared that the warboss in charge did have some cunningness to him no doubt given to him by Gork or maybe Mork.

“Sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t!” Mage 3 yelled as he quickly pulled a 9g turn up to avoid the Fighta-bombas.

The other three in mage squadron followed suit. Mage one looked behind himself. His aircraft was locked onto. When the missile fired he launched chaff and flares to divert its course.

“Prepare for jump sequence in three! Two! One! Mark!” Mage 1 yelled over the radio. In an instant, each of the four fighters disappeared, and reappeared in orbit, just next to the bridge of the Sangheili super carrier, Unyielding Resolve.

221 years ago, Harpers ferry, Virginia(Now West Virginia)

John Brown watched his men, muskets pointed out the window at the United States Marines sent to stop his raid on the United States Arsenal at Harpers Ferry. Part of him knew this would be his end, but if it meant securing liberty for all, he was willing.

Berlin

A German army officer stood in his class A uniform. He was being elevated from the rank of Colonel to Brigadier General. The name tag on his uniform read “brown.”

“Congratulations Brigadier General John Brown IV.” The man who pinned the star onto his uniform said, extending his hand out.

Brown shook the man’s hand, but celebration of the man’s achievement was short lived. He had a job to do. Now he must command a joint German, and British front against the orks. He left the room that saw him become a general, and quickly went to command ops. He looked at the table around him.

“Any news?”

“Sir, civilian militia in the occupied areas have successfully been notified that they have one week to withdraw from the area to avoid unrestricted bombings.”

“Have any rendezvoused with state forces?”

“Yes sir. Mostly local militia. Larger groups like the ADF and Bavarian Guard have regrouped to the south with incoming Swiss forces, but the ones closest to Frankfurt, Nuremberg, and the rock, are staying where they are.“

“Change the conditions. If all forces don’t report any civilian withdrawal for 24 hours, bombing restrictions are lifted. So, what about the rok?”

A staffer stood up, “General Brown, a fighter squadron was sent to eliminate Ghazgkull, but their autocannons proved ineffective against his armor. Before they could launch Missiles or drop SODs, hundreds of fighters entered the airspace, so they retreated to orbit. They’ve regrouped with the arbiter.”

“Ask the Arbiter to consider placing his fleet a distance that leaves them secure, but close enough to hit Ghazghkull. Next.”

Another staffer stood, “sir, Frankfurt assets reported that some automated defenses that survived our nuclear strike there were able to put a few dents in the orks, but they responded with these squigg things. They’re incredibly dangerous.”

“Put artillery fire on the highest concentration of ork forces around Frankfurt to ease the strain on our assets there,” he calmly said, “and what of the British? When can we expect their arrival?”

“They should be landing forces now, sir.”

“Very well. Have the navy’s carriers in Slovenia launch all their fighters, attack craft, and bombers in Slovenia, and the Air Force to do the same. Then have our air assets in the north get airborne immediately. I want an overwhelming Ariel assault on ghazghkull’s location. Fighters will deal with the Fighta-bombas while attack craft soften anti-air, armor, and ghazghkull himself for the bombers. Once the planes retreat, split the Astral knights into two groups. Nuremburg group, and Rok Group. I trust you know where each is going.”

“Sir, by the time everything is ready, they could’ve moved.”

“Then don’t let them. Have our cruisers and destroyers hammer them with ship to surface missiles. Notify UC military assets that they‘ll have missiles flying over them, but not to worry.”

German livonia wrote:Outskirts of Sol System, Aboard the Unbroken Will

Grand Chaplain Rupprecht Steinhäusl was the first to view the star of the system as they exited the warp. As the Legion serfs continued their work, the Grand Chaplain addressed the Legionnaires who were reciting prayers before battle while the attached Chaplains guided their benedictions wielding thuribles. His voice boomed over the ship's vox 'Brothers, we have arrived. Arise from your prayers, and gather for battle.' As the Chaplianed quenched the thuribles, the smoke began to clear, the marines formed ranks and began to mount the Drop Pods that filled most of the Graf-Zeppelin class ship. Rupprecht then turned to arm himself with his staff of office, The Star of Judgment. Grasping the heavy two handed power weapon, he and his guard went to find their pod, but before that he sent one more vox message over the ship to all that could listen;

'O Emperor, in wrath rejoicing at bloody wars, fierce and untamed, whose mighty power doth make the strongest walls from their foundations shake. All-conquering Master of Mankind, be pleased with this war's tumultuous roar. Delight in swords and fists red with alien blood, and the dire ruins of savage battle. Rejoice in furious challenge, and avenging strife, whose works with woe embitter human life!'

The Harbingers of The Emperor's Word join the War.

Nuremberg, westside

Five titans began descending from the sky. Each along the same road, one filled to the brim with orks. With little room to move, as many as twenty orks per Titan were squished, and others who entered the dome shields were quickly electrified until they dropped dead. As this happened, the five pilots from the 6-4 who had come to Nuremberg jumped from the building the jammer had sat atop. The topside entrance to each of the titans’ cockpits opened, allowing them all to land comfortably in their seats. They stood up and pulled massive swords off from their backs, and as the dome shields dissipated, they began slashing and dashing away. Orks were cut apart and squished as the titans dispersed. Utilizing a variety of weapons made them difficult to touch. Missiles, lasers, swords, 20mm chainguns, and good old fashioned fists and feet, the pilots began to quickly rack up kills.

In the outskirts of Nuremberg, a new force was arriving. 25,000 space marines from the astral knights dropped into battle in an attempt to hit the orks from behind.

FNU wrote:972 Zvezda Battalion, Company B
The barracks wreaked of gasoline, polish, and metal. Soon they would move to defensive positions, in which they need to be ready. Flamethrowers were to be used if any heavy resistance was hit. As they began their march towards the Southern Swiss-German border they passed the Lighthouse, home of the President. Some soldiers poked fun at the Imperial Guards stationed out front, other’s began to sing the old world song, “Erika”. Two Flammenwächter’s at the front fired their flamer’s, showing off both to the public, and the guards. A colonel began to mumble “A nation’s old declares the war, and the young must die fighting them.”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part of the populus had been skeptical on Swiss involvement in the War, claiming that Germany could take care of it, and that calling upon Allied forces for such a neanderthalian army was a waste. However many knew better, the Orks had been a formidable foe against there previous enemy’s, and it would be stupid of the Swiss not to be prepared for an invasion. As such Company's C and D would be heading Southwest, and Company A would soon follow Company B to the Southern German Front.

Thun Airfield, 283 Air Wing, Squadron F
FD-37’s began to roll out of hangars in the first time since The Second Blitz of France, checks were done on the engines, and they began to form on the runway, waiting for a launch order. That order wouldn’t come for a while, until a new KE-92 was properly loaded. While not bombs, they were just as potent depending on who got them, which in this case would be the Germans. An hour later and the flight and fight of the Swiss began.
MENTIONS:

Aleciton lands
Unified Empiricus

When the borders opened, the Swiss were met with welcoming German infantry and armored divisions, alongside the Austrian Defense Front, and a Faction of the Bavarian Guard. Their orders were to set up south of Frankfurt and lay mines and hidden defenses.

In the air, German fighters and bombers joined with Swiss aircraft and began flying towards the front lines. Air superiority was to be captured at all costs.

Slovenian ports

Ships in port had quickly entered general quarters. The captain of a ship reached for his phone. “TAO, twenty SS3s.”

Quickly, hundreds of ship to surface missiles billowed out of the ships in port and barreled towards the rok, striking Ghazghkull and his forces there.

Ok. I will be releasing the plan as far as this year when I get to my computer. I am leaning toward finding a group based on last year's event that is one of our friends and allies and joining them, but I am still figuring it out.

2) Do our own thing.

They also seem impressed by Swiss cheese as well. They are good house guests apart from waking up early in the mornings.

One rainy evening at the President Peterson's residence. The young Princess Raegan walks up to President Peterson and gently tugs at his leather trench coat to get his attention. "We are willing and able to talk to the one Called Winston."
She then waited for a response.

I am going to talk to Forest. They are similar to us and are a big group. They were talking about joining The Potato Alliance for the event, and I want to see if I can get their interest.

Winson appears to have a blank stare, looking as though he's remembering something, "Once, during the days of the FSA Bluebird Program. I flew on Bluebird 2, the first successful launch of a Bluebird rocket." he breaths shakily, then continues "and as far as the second question goes, we use liquid fuel rockets with reignitable engines. Our most impressive rocket we've built so far is the Thermos V, one of which is heading to Mercury and another is orbiting Venus. We also check our TWR nowadays after Bluebird 1."

Hello New World Union,
I am sending this Telegram to you to discuss our plan for N-Day. As you probably are aware, the last few years, we have done it alone. We have a traditional plan, which we intend to follow through with. However, I also intend to encourage this Region to join in with Forest. Forest is joining the Potato Alliance for N-Day. I am currently in discussions with them to get the Region included on their alliance.

In addition, I am asking that the Region state on the RMB what role you want, either shield production or weapons production. As is traditional, I am going to be running Shield production. If you want to join in with Shield Production, please let me know. I think Emp will lead Weapons Production.

Thank you, and we will get through this together.

Zombie Preparedness Act of October 2015 Updated 2016 Updated 2017 Updated and Renamed the Mass Destruction Preparedness Act 2018

Authored By: The democratic nation of unovia United christian

Section I-Introduction
This Act is designed to prepare and instruct the Region for the Z-Day/N-Day Game Event, held each year near the end of October/Randomly Assigned respectively. In each of the following sections, this Act will cover what each protocol will be to better prepare the Nations of this Region for the coming threat. This Act codifies the Z-Day Plan enacted in October of 2014, by the Delegate Unovia. First coded for Z-Day 2015, Recoded for Z-Day 2016, Recoded for Z-Day 2017, Recoded for N-Day and Z-Day 2018.

Section II-Regional Protectionary Procedure
The Region shall protect itself from the threat. Immediately after the notification comes out about the event, the Region will shut down all Regional borders. The Region will be placed on immediate Category 5 standing of the Threat Category System, the highest and most threatening standard. Category 5 rank states that “the most severe cases require this. Severe cases include Z-Day and other such events.” This standard now includes N-Day.
The Founder or Delegate will place a password on the Region to set the border. The password will not be known except by a select few nations. The password shall not be lifted for 48 hours after the event ends.
The following sections will address the protocol for each option listed in the event.

Section III-Curing/Shield Protocol
Production of the Cure or Shields are one of the two accepted national responses for the event, the other being Military Intervention. Nations that produce the cure or shield are expected to come together as the Zombie/Nuclear Response Team (Z(N)RT).

Zombie: All nations in ZRT are asked to continue producing the cure throughout the event. Once the cure is officially created, members of that team will be firing missiles throughout the Region, helping all they can to reduce the disease.

Nuclear: In the event of N-Day, members of the NRT teams use their shields to destroy incoming nukes. You can see who is under attack through the UI system.

Section IV-Military Intervention Protocol
Military Intervention is one of two accepted national responses for the event, the other being Cure/Shield.

Zombie: For those Nations that chose Military Intervention, they are expected to work together to purge the disease from their Nations. Afterward, they are asked to do what they can to help all Nations militarily as much as possible. Solutions include, but are not limited to: Biological, Nuclear, Incendiary, Chemical, and Explosive Weapons. They are also encouraged to take in any civilians (to assist them if they are not infected) that wish to get away from the dangerous situation. Civilians who are moved have three options. They can go to a CERT (Citizen Emergency Response Team) for search and rescue after the fact, ZERT (Zombie Emergency Response Team) effectively a militia, they protect NCPs (Non Combat Persons) and get them to a ZRT, ZERT or CERT location, or they can go to a ZCRT decontamination facility close to the military camp where they will hide out till the event is over.

For those Nations that chose Military Intervention, they are expected to work together to avenge the region. New World Union is a strictly retaliatory region, meaning we do not attack unless attacked. Those in this team are expected to build up their nukes until ordered to rain h*llfire by either the Delegate or Defense Minister.

Section V-Zombieland: When A Nation Decides To Join The Horde
Zombieland is not an accepted choice. The two subsections in this section state what the Regional and National Responses will be to Zombieland.

Subsection a. Regional Response
Nations that choose Zombieland (Join the Horde) will lose control of their Government within the Region. All pending National Elections will be suspended, reinstated once the event ends. Nations that have produced the cure will go into action, firing cure missiles into the Zombie Nations. They will control the Government of the Zombie Nation during the event, restoring control of the Government to the former Zombie Nation.

Subsection b. National Response
Nations that share borders with Zombie swarmed nations are directed to shut their borders until the event ends and the Zombies are confirmed to be struck down. All treaties between those Nations will be suspended, and all trading practices will be shut down until the event ends.

Subsection c. Banjection
All Zombieland nations are at risk of a non-vote banjection while the region is on lockdown.

Section VI - Nuclear Treason
This is when a nuclear team member either attacked a member of the region or aggressively attacks another nation. The two subsections in this section state what the Regional and National Responses will be.

Subsection a. Regional Response
Nations that choose Nuclear Treason will lose control of their Government within the Region. All pending National Elections will be suspended, reinstated once the event ends. Nations that have produced the shields will be ordered to NOT defend this nation. In the event the Nuclear Treason is domestic the nuke team will be ordered to destroy this nation.

Subsection b. Banjection
All Nuclear Treason nations are at risk of a non-vote banjection while the region is on lockdown.

Section VII- National Borders
Z-day will be considered effective martial law. Meaning REGIONAL TEAMS ONLY will be entering and exiting nations at the discretion at that team's leader. NO national militaries are allowed to free travel. And all regional laws will still be in effect.

Section VIII-Enactment Procedure
This Act shall be enacted beginning as soon as the Regional Borders are closed for the event.

How to Take Part (and Prepare!)
Potato Alliance N-Day Guide

.

.
.

.

Basic Information

N-Day is an annual event in NS that pits regional factions against each other in a simulated nuclear war. This year we are joining with many of our ally and friend regions into a joint faction called Potato Alliance. (It's named after the unofficial mascot of Spiritus, the potato!). Whether you are a newcomer or a nuclear veteran, reading and understanding what to do will prepare you for the event and help you both survive and work effectively with your regionmates and our allies.


Before the event begins:

  • Familiarize yourself with the contents of this guide, the Ground Rules, our Strategy, and Testlandia's guide N-Day: What You Need to Know— all of which are linked to in the header of this dispatch. This guide will focus primarily on how our faction organizes and how we fight effectively, while Testlandia's focuses on the basics of how the simulation works and how to navigate the controls. Understanding both is essential to success.

  • Join the LinkPotato Command, our joint N-Day command Discord server. We will be coordinating from there. Coordination is the essence of success in this event, so regardless of your feelings about Discord, the importance of using it (even if only for the event) cannot be overstressed.

  • What to do with puppets: Puppets (additional accounts besides your main one) are greatly helpful during N-Day and many more experienced or more involved players have large sets that they use. If you have any puppets, you can and should use them for N-Day. The more nations generating production for our faction, the better. No need to move puppets between regions to join our faction— you can join a faction from any region.
    Consider taking a look at the Useful Technology + Tools page if you're using puppets. We've listed there several puppet management addons and scripts to make it easier to manage lots of nations. If you have such an add-on already, make sure it has all your puppets' information correct so there will be no problems once the nukes start flying.


Once the event has started:

  • Join our region’s faction: this faction will be called Potato Alliance, and a link will be provided to it in the header of this dispatch. Directions to it, once it is made, will also be available in the Discord and on the RMB of the The Potato Alliance region.

  • Begin production: What you produce most efficiently, and what role you take in a faction depends on what sort specialty your nation has:

    • If you are a Military Specialist: in the first few hours, create shields (even though this is not your special advantage). Then, when commanders give the order (which will be posted on the Faction page and on the Discord server), you may begin stockpiling nukes. Listen for fire orders from Command. When you get a fire order, target nations which are actively deploying nukes first. Do not launch more nukes at a nation then are needed to bring it to 100% radiation (you get some leeway on this since controls are clunky, but know that it is a potential waste).

    • If you are a Strategic Specialist: Begin producing shields. Watch the faction page for incoming nukes and prepare to intercept them. Shout out in the Discord if there are too many nukes being targeted for you to intercept them all. Be cautious that you are intercepting incoming rather then outgoing nukes. Additionally, if you see nukes being targeted at regions we are allied with, report it to Command, and you may be asked to intercept them as well.

    • If you are an Economic Specialist: Begin stockpiling production. Unless told otherwise your role is exactly the same as that of a Strategic Specialist, but you may need to help offensively as well, so you should keep up to date on what's needed and familiarize yourself with the instructions for each role.

  • Check the faction page: Our faction page will have a mini-World Factbook Entry at the top stating vital information, including our current targets, our allies and current do-not-targets, and any special instructions from the Potato Generals. Make sure to keep up-to-date on this as it will change.

  • Coordinate with your factionmates: Coordination is the determining factor in how successful a faction is and how effective you are at contributing to your faction’s success. Sharing information with our factionmates is the best way for us all to know what we should be doing, what others are doing and what we need to be prepared for. While you are online and actively launching or shielding, make sure you are on the Discord, telling others what you are doing. It is extremely important that you do this.

    The only reason you should not join the Discord is if there is a technical issue with you connecting to the service. If so, you can still follow along on the Regional Message Board of The Potato Alliance. However, you may find yourself excluded from much of the action because response times over the RMB simply aren't quick enough.

In addition, I am suspending the Regional Flag Contest until N-Day has concluded. I am sorry for the inconvenience. The Candidate Approval Poll, as a result, is also suspended until N-Day concludes.

Unovia

Potato Alliance N-Day Guide

Basic Information

N-Day is an annual event in NS that pits regional factions against each other in a simulated nuclear war. This year we are joining with many of our ally and friend regions into a joint faction called Potato Alliance. (It's named after the unofficial mascot of Spiritus, the potato!). Whether you are a newcomer or a nuclear veteran, reading and understanding what to do will prepare you for the event and help you both survive and work effectively with your regionmates and our allies.


Before the event begins:

  • Familiarize yourself with the contents of this guide, the Ground Rules, our Strategy, and Testlandia's guide N-Day: What You Need to Know— all of which are linked to in the header of this dispatch. This guide will focus primarily on how our faction organizes and how we fight effectively, while Testlandia's focuses on the basics of how the simulation works and how to navigate the controls. Understanding both is essential to success.

  • Join the LinkPotato Command, our joint N-Day command Discord server. We will be coordinating from there. Coordination is the essence of success in this event, so regardless of your feelings about Discord, the importance of using it (even if only for the event) cannot be overstressed.

  • What to do with puppets: Puppets (additional accounts besides your main one) are greatly helpful during N-Day and many more experienced or more involved players have large sets that they use. If you have any puppets, you can and should use them for N-Day. The more nations generating production for our faction, the better. No need to move puppets between regions to join our faction— you can join a faction from any region.
    Consider taking a look at the Useful Technology + Tools page if you're using puppets. We've listed there several puppet management addons and scripts to make it easier to manage lots of nations. If you have such an add-on already, make sure it has all your puppets' information correct so there will be no problems once the nukes start flying.


Once the event has started:

  • Join our region’s faction: this faction will be called Potato Alliance, and a link will be provided to it in the header of this dispatch. Directions to it, once it is made, will also be available in the Discord and on the RMB of the The Potato Alliance region.

  • Begin production: What you produce most efficiently, and what role you take in a faction depends on what sort specialty your nation has:

    • If you are a Military Specialist: in the first few hours, create shields (even though this is not your special advantage). Then, when commanders give the order (which will be posted on the Faction page and on the Discord server), you may begin stockpiling nukes. Listen for fire orders from Command. When you get a fire order, target nations which are actively deploying nukes first. Do not launch more nukes at a nation then are needed to bring it to 100% radiation (you get some leeway on this since controls are clunky, but know that it is a potential waste).

    • If you are a Strategic Specialist: Begin producing shields. Watch the faction page for incoming nukes and prepare to intercept them. Shout out in the Discord if there are too many nukes being targeted for you to intercept them all. Be cautious that you are intercepting incoming rather then outgoing nukes. Additionally, if you see nukes being targeted at regions we are allied with, report it to Command, and you may be asked to intercept them as well.

    • If you are an Economic Specialist: Begin stockpiling production. Unless told otherwise your role is exactly the same as that of a Strategic Specialist, but you may need to help offensively as well, so you should keep up to date on what's needed and familiarize yourself with the instructions for each role.

  • Check the faction page: Our faction page will have a mini-World Factbook Entry at the top stating vital information, including our current targets, our allies and current do-not-targets, and any special instructions from the Potato Generals. Make sure to keep up-to-date on this as it will change.

  • Coordinate with your factionmates: Coordination is the determining factor in how successful a faction is and how effective you are at contributing to your faction’s success. Sharing information with our factionmates is the best way for us all to know what we should be doing, what others are doing and what we need to be prepared for. While you are online and actively launching or shielding, make sure you are on the Discord, telling others what you are doing. It is extremely important that you do this.

    The only reason you should not join the Discord is if there is a technical issue with you connecting to the service. If so, you can still follow along on the Regional Message Board of The Potato Alliance. However, you may find yourself excluded from much of the action because response times over the RMB simply aren't quick enough.

In addition, I am suspending the Regional Flag Contest until N-Day has concluded. I am sorry for the inconvenience. The Candidate Approval Poll, as a result, is also suspended until N-Day concludes.

Attention to the Region,
Several hours ago, I announced we were in discussion with Forest to join the Potato Alliance for N-Day. After the discussions, they said we could join them, but the following terms must be met in the actual event:

"The Potato Alliance isn't really just a group of all random regions that want to join. It's pretty much all regions that have an existing relationship (i.e. an embassy) with Forest or Spiritus. In social terms, it's a group of "friend regions". It's not that there's anything wrong with other regions deciding to tag along, but we want to make sure major stakeholders are all regions that we know well and trust.
Well, whoever from your region that joins the faction will have to follow the faction's orders on what to target, who produces nukes and who produces shields, and so on.
Our command isn't really divided up among regions -- if you're participating in the faction, you need to go by the strategy decided by the leadership, which is composed of representatives from all the major stakeholder regions."-Quote from the Discord meeting.

With that said, I want to leave it up to you. I don't want the Region to miss out, but I also don't want the Region to be controlled by another Region, so I am working with FNU to make a Poll about what we want to do. I was working to get the best deal we could with the largest, most democratic collective I could. I just don't want us to lose autonomy.

The Poll should be up soon. I encourage you to vote your interest.

Cheers,
Unovia

Political maneuvering by Mitch McConnell is insane. Republicans are the biggest hypocrites.

To be fair and balanced,
There's hypocrisy on both sides. McConnell is not insane though. He just wants power and will do whatever he can get away with to maintain it.

Right back atcha, mate.

I was describing Mitch McConnell's ability as insane or mind blowing. I was not calling him insane. His job involves deep pragmatism and he fulfills that role fully.

Aleciton lands wrote:“Sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t sh*t!” Mage 3 yelled as he quickly pulled a 9g turn up to avoid the Fighta-bombas.

The other three in mage squadron followed suit. Mage one looked behind himself. His aircraft was locked onto. When the missile fired he launched chaff and flares to divert its course.

“Prepare for jump sequence in three! Two! One! Mark!” Mage 1 yelled over the radio. In an instant, each of the four fighters disappeared, and reappeared in orbit, just next to the bridge of the Sangheili super carrier, Unyielding Resolve.

221 years ago, Harpers ferry, Virginia(Now West Virginia)

John Brown watched his men, muskets pointed out the window at the United States Marines sent to stop his raid on the United States Arsenal at Harpers Ferry. Part of him knew this would be his end, but if it meant securing liberty for all, he was willing.

Berlin

A German army officer stood in his class A uniform. He was being elevated from the rank of Colonel to Brigadier General. The name tag on his uniform read “brown.”

“Congratulations Brigadier General John Brown IV.” The man who pinned the star onto his uniform said, extending his hand out.

Brown shook the man’s hand, but celebration of the man’s achievement was short lived. He had a job to do. Now he must command a joint German, and British front against the orks. He left the room that saw him become a general, and quickly went to command ops. He looked at the table around him.

“Any news?”

“Sir, civilian militia in the occupied areas have successfully been notified that they have one week to withdraw from the area to avoid unrestricted bombings.”

“Have any rendezvoused with state forces?”

“Yes sir. Mostly local militia. Larger groups like the ADF and Bavarian Guard have regrouped to the south with incoming Swiss forces, but the ones closest to Frankfurt, Nuremberg, and the rock, are staying where they are.“

“Change the conditions. If all forces don’t report any civilian withdrawal for 24 hours, bombing restrictions are lifted. So, what about the rok?”

A staffer stood up, “General Brown, a fighter squadron was sent to eliminate Ghazgkull, but their autocannons proved ineffective against his armor. Before they could launch Missiles or drop SODs, hundreds of fighters entered the airspace, so they retreated to orbit. They’ve regrouped with the arbiter.”

“Ask the Arbiter to consider placing his fleet a distance that leaves them secure, but close enough to hit Ghazghkull. Next.”

Another staffer stood, “sir, Frankfurt assets reported that some automated defenses that survived our nuclear strike there were able to put a few dents in the orks, but they responded with these squigg things. They’re incredibly dangerous.”

“Put artillery fire on the highest concentration of ork forces around Frankfurt to ease the strain on our assets there,” he calmly said, “and what of the British? When can we expect their arrival?”

“They should be landing forces now, sir.”

“Very well. Have the navy’s carriers in Slovenia launch all their fighters, attack craft, and bombers in Slovenia, and the Air Force to do the same. Then have our air assets in the north get airborne immediately. I want an overwhelming Ariel assault on ghazghkull’s location. Fighters will deal with the Fighta-bombas while attack craft soften anti-air, armor, and ghazghkull himself for the bombers. Once the planes retreat, split the Astral knights into two groups. Nuremburg group, and Rok Group. I trust you know where each is going.”

“Sir, by the time everything is ready, they could’ve moved.”

“Then don’t let them. Have our cruisers and destroyers hammer them with ship to surface missiles. Notify UC military assets that they‘ll have missiles flying over them, but not to worry.”

Nuremberg, westside

Five titans began descending from the sky. Each along the same road, one filled to the brim with orks. With little room to move, as many as twenty orks per Titan were squished, and others who entered the dome shields were quickly electrified until they dropped dead. As this happened, the five pilots from the 6-4 who had come to Nuremberg jumped from the building the jammer had sat atop. The topside entrance to each of the titans’ cockpits opened, allowing them all to land comfortably in their seats. They stood up and pulled massive swords off from their backs, and as the dome shields dissipated, they began slashing and dashing away. Orks were cut apart and squished as the titans dispersed. Utilizing a variety of weapons made them difficult to touch. Missiles, lasers, swords, 20mm chainguns, and good old fashioned fists and feet, the pilots began to quickly rack up kills.

In the outskirts of Nuremberg, a new force was arriving. 25,000 space marines from the astral knights dropped into battle in an attempt to hit the orks from behind.

When the borders opened, the Swiss were met with welcoming German infantry and armored divisions, alongside the Austrian Defense Front, and a Faction of the Bavarian Guard. Their orders were to set up south of Frankfurt and lay mines and hidden defenses.

In the air, German fighters and bombers joined with Swiss aircraft and began flying towards the front lines. Air superiority was to be captured at all costs.

Slovenian ports

Ships in port had quickly entered general quarters. The captain of a ship reached for his phone. “TAO, twenty SS3s.”

Quickly, hundreds of ship to surface missiles billowed out of the ships in port and barreled towards the rok, striking Ghazghkull and his forces there.

The drop pods filled the sky. Like a meteor shower, the battle brothers of the 8th, 9th and 10th Grand Companies rained from the heavens to deliver the Emperor’s Judgment with a prayer on their lips. They struck the ground behind the frontlines, mostly in the shattered remains of Frankfurt. The first pod to open belonged to the Grand Chaplain. The door of the pod slammed down into the irradiated dirt, revealing a single curious gretchin who tried to peer through the smoke which billowed out of the main compartment. Too hazy to see the head of the power mace as it was smashed into it’s skull. The Astartes stepped out, the leering skull helmet second only to the mace that crackled with energy being the most unpleasant of things he held. Joining him a series of Space Marines, armed with Plasma Guns it Combi-Bolters, donning MK3 Power Armor. The Chaplain voxed a message before joining the whirlwind of war with his brothers.

++Brothers, Xeno scum have dared to defile Holy Terra. I expect you all to bring honor to our Legion and our Progenitor.++
