News Release by the Spartan Federation - MY-2177 Increase the size of your Attachments

*************************************************

News Release
Sparta Command – MY 2177 :


UN Peacekeepers declare Vendetta on the Spartan Federation

Shortly after daybreak, Commissioner Lal declared Vendetta on the Spartan Federation.

The origins are somewhat unclear. PK units had been rummaging around the outskirts of a Spartan base, and the base Governor, with the approval of the Arcadian Regional Administrator, Lt Colonel Kassiopeia, and the Commanding Officer, CRYPTEIA, Colonel Googlie, sent special forces operatives to interrogate the miscreants. They were induced to change allegiance to the Federation, whereupon the Commissioner pronounced Vendetta on the Federation

Spartan Federation responds with overwhelming force

In response to the Peacekeepers declaration of vendetta, Colonels Googlie and Maniac authorized the immediate deployment of units of the Spartan famed Elite Rapid Response Brigade.

Supported by Impact and Missile penetrators of Sparta Air Command, nearby vessels of the Spartan Navy, CRYPTEIA agents, and several divisions of amphibious mobile forces, an invasion was launched, resulting in the capturing and annexing of the following four Peacekeeper bases:

  • UN Headquarters
  • UN High Commission
  • UN Planning Authority
  • UN Great Refuge
Peace terms were offered to Commissioner Lal, but he refused.

The Federation will vigourously pursue operations against the remaining Peacekeeper bases, and by proclamation is laying claim to the entire Arcadian continent as falling under the Spartan Federation’s sphere of influence

End of release

Hm, it clearly is an unexpected Peacekeeper attack on innocent Spartan recruits which was driven back in an act of self-defence.

It´s a pity how many valuable ressources are wasted on aggression wars...

Yes, but I doubt they would agree with being assimilated by Spartans.

Do you think we had to ask after they asked for peace? Politics is, after all, the art of misinterpreting understanding the other's motives correctly.

Modo44 will now say that they're just trying to reduce support costs..

Although they barely ever suffer any losses..

Nice self-contradictory statement. No need for me to say more.

I think you are reaching too far. I never said anything about losses or unit upkeep...

I never said we were not aggressors, either...

What can I say Modo44, your post swept away any fun I had from this small RP.

If you don't understand the joke, why are you posting in a RP thread at all?

Sorry, forgot to add the ""s in my previous post.

But you are right, I did not get that joke. Happens every now and then, as English is not my native language. That will not stop me from posting, though.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Snoddasmannen looked out over his new desk.

He liked the former Peacekeeper territories, he liked the way they were run. Plenty of paperwork to hide behind. There were always review boards, evaluations, committees, layers upon layers of administration. The red tape ran from here to Sparta Command, to Fort Superiority and back here again, without anybody really knowing why.

Snoddasmannen was a high ranking officer, but nobody could ever quite bring to mind what his main responsibilities were. Nor could they remember exacly which unit he commanded, or what that famous battle was which he had participated in. But they would always see him at the meetings, and the conferences, and on the friday evening socials.

He grabbed a batch of papers from his desk. It happened to be a coordination plan outlining the synergy effects of merging two branches of the Arcadian communication network maintenance administration. He held them in his right hand and proceeded to walk purposefully down the hall, pretending to read them.

'For brunch', he thought, 'I am going to try the Iaci sallad.', and turned a sharp right towards the rec commons.

Snoddasmannen's post prompted me to think about wheather or not factional bases you've conqured (but not yet assimulated as indicated by the city graphics) retain their factional benefits (and more importantly) their factional penalties?
