Avalon Found

The Magic SOB forum is for posts of story sequences that are frequently vignette-based. Put those here while actual battle reports can go in Reports From the Field.
You must talk like James T. Kirk in this forum at all times. Leonard Nimoy is fine too.

Well if there's a war, then I'm in. I'll be sending a battle group to assist you with the little foreigner problem.

This will probably wind up sparking another more furtive war over who gets to be the most helpful.

The Military of United Nations gives the inhabitants of Avalon command of the entire 28th fleet and it's accompanying marine and vehicle force, and the MUN has now declared war on these foreigners.

All this pledging of military support and not a single diplomatic summit or exchange.

The RIN has sent Mining units with a heavy escort to that moon.

Sure, never mind that we have Red-transparent ore-filled moons, we want OT!

My other faction the Paladins against the Peaches declares war with Avalon and has sent a massive fleet with fucking huge miner machines to milk the planet of what it's worth and enslave the populace. (Sorry for confusion Semaj, I have two armies that hate each other, this isn't MUN)

Just to clarify, MUN is not peach lovers, they just hate Paladins because they seceded and won the following civil war. Paladins seceded because while MUN believes that peaches are useful as work slaves Paladins believes in their utter annihilation.

We have sent Admiral Angela and other military advisors along with the fleet to help train your citizens. Angela will be our official diplomat to Avalon too.

Image
So far in order to win this war we have given your troops machine guns, plasma rifles, snipers, Assyrian lasers, and a plethora of other of MUN's better technology. Training has been hard but worth it.

Image
No need to dig up vehicles, we are already training your civilians to use ours for right now to give you some heavy guns. This war shall be won in no time flat.

We have begun small mining operations and have fought off small groups of inquistadores, paladins, and foreigners for you. I hope you're a good naval strategist, those will come in handy when you want to use the fleet.

Attention foreigners that have sent us aid. We, the people of Avalon, are in your debt for the help you have provided thus far. In addition to the training you have given to our people, we are also grateful for the financial aid you have sent. This report is to show you how your money has been put to use. Our outdated army decided to upgrade to the current standards of the galaxy.

Image
First, our line infantry needed new equipment. We have decided to test out a new rifle design that our military research branch had been working on for years. It may be a little more for our troops to carry, but the fire power of these new guns will more than make up for it.

Image
Second, the rocket troop was in need of serious updating as well. These new Aldwyr Class rockets are lighter, stronger and much easier to use than our former rockets.

Image
In addition, we have created a new special forces group (name yet to be determined) to help counter the insurgency cells that were prevalent on our planet before the attacks.

Image
Snipers will remain a major factor in how our tactics play out in the fight against the foreigners that attacked us.

Image
"We're in the middle of a presentation. This had better be important."

"Aye sir, foreign war party headed this way."

Image
"There's only a few of them. Shouldn't be too much of a problem for us."

Image
"Sir! Come quick! We've just received a report from one of our scouts in the Geldbrog Desert!"

Image
"All right Lieutenant, show me this report."

"Aye Sir!"

Report 79236.12
Location: Geldbrog Desert

Image
"The higher-ups are pleased with our progress thus far. More help is arriving from different empires each day. Soon, they will begin fighting one another for Avalon. Everything is going to plan."

"Do the Avalonians suspect our hand in this?"

"Of course not. They have grown too soft over the centuries."

"What are my orders?"

"The resistance leader, Semaj Nagirrac has become a thorn in our side. We would have you eliminate him, but it has been decided that he still has his uses. Capture him alive and bring him to us. We've sent a small scouting party to distract him for the time being."

Image
"Consider it done."

"Good... good... In the meantime, I'll see if I can't get the Immortal and Assyrian Empires to join this little fray. We'll need their extra firepower to accomplish this task."

END TRANSMISSION

Image
"Sir, I thought every transmission we sent was encoded to protect our location from being compromised. How did they find out we were here?"

"I don't know, but when they get here I'd like to find out who they are and what it is they're planning."

The plot thickens . . .

SHIT, I'm pulling the hell out of here. Whoever they are, they're using the Immortals as pawns and that is a war of total destruction for a small empire like mine

This is going to get real violent really fast. The Squid Overlord was considering offering a low-interest loan to the Avalonians, but this looks too risky now.

The Avalonian forces look pretty good, by the way. ^_^

President Julius Kaiser (Military of United Nations): Join the Avalonians and aid them in your fight!! It's free OT and you have halved your enemies, in addition to assisting a developing world!

Yellow Spaceman (Paladins against the Peaches): Join us in our effort in enslaving the populace!!! Many empires grow fast, but this backwards, conquered Avalon is the perfect and easiest target in the known brikverse to exploit and destroy! Plus free OT too!

President Julius Kaiser: Better to wait and foster their growth, for only a coward would rashly attack such a deprived world.

Yellow Spaceman: I'm not a coward, I'm a pragmatist!

President Julius Kaiser: Will it not be more carnage when they expand their army and then fight? For a chick is a small meal, but let it grow into a chicken and it will feed a family! Plus look at the army they've gathered LOL.

Yellow Spaceman: Oh, missed that...

President Julius Kaiser: :owned:

Take heed of this word! Support Avalon in its war now! Join our fight and help save the planet!
