Nova mervay | It has been a few months since the beginning of the war between Germany and The EIF in the Western Front. The Imperial Forces advanced through German Territory in a massive campaign all over the front, not giving the Germans any breathing room like earlier in the war after their failed assault on Strasbourg in a failed campaign to force the federation to the defensive during the war to focus more in the unstoppable Russian Advance. The Imperial Federation's counterattack begun with great success in the Northern Western Front, overruning the Dutch lands and having it's major victories related to the offensive position of the war after the successful defense of Strasbourg; Those major victories were the battles of Amsterdam, The Hague, Den Helder and Rotterdam. The disaster of the German Defense in Den Helder was the worst of all as it caught a considerable part of the German Fleet Channel Fleet off guard by a massive bombing campaign coordinated by The EIAF and EIN Naval Aviation focused in sinking all ships and military facilites around the area before the European Imperial Marines landed and took the city with relative ease. All that momentum was transfered to the advance in homeland Germany itself with the long term objective of the advance being Hamburg, but priority was given to Wilhelmshaven, one of Germany's deep water ports and major base for the Atlantic Fleet, the Imperial Navy was confident that it could take out the German Navy in open sea, but any open conflict should be left to be planned and by luring them out of port. Meanwhile in the central parts of the front, the offensive against The German Army was successfully showing results as The European Forces broke through the defenses of the enemy and taking in a difficult but worth battle, the Rhine Valley. Part of Germany was already under European control and with no signs of stopping, like if they had their mission set. And that was Berlin. Guess there was a race going on. Meanwhile the Austrian Front begun slow and had it's setbacks as the German Forces took advantage of the terrain and fought cleverly, giving it's European counterparts a headche as they were fortified and made sure to not give up easily the territory, making the entire front end in a style of trench warfare around the mountains for a few months meanwhile the mountain troops analyzed the best course and trying to find a weak spot from where to make the crossing easy and make sure to break the statlement and make sure no guerrilla warfare happened around the area. The Dalmatian-Balkan Front meanwhile. It begun quickly as the Air Force and Navy attacked all the positions along the coast, making sure to destroy all enemy positions while the army was advancing through Trieste all the way to Zagreb taking a rest, and stablishing a much stable line while a landing campaign happened in the south around Albania; it proved to be a success as it meant that the Germans had to deal with a six front war and it was in a position where it could threaten it's logistics with the middle eastern territories if not kept in check. It's fleet in the mediterranean also had to endure to fend off all attacks against them by the Europeans If they got out of their defensive perimeter around the eastern part of the sea, making combat against such fleet impossible unless stealth planes were used. It was a tense fight around there that will endure for a while... Six Months Later. Élysée Palace, Paris, EIF.
They were all brought to a meeting room in the palace where they would discuss national matters alongside the most important issue on the table, the war with Germany. The presents were no others than the Prime Minister of The EIF, The Minister of Defence, The Minister of Economy and Finances, The Heads of each Branch of the Military and the Intelligence Agencies Chief Directors; of course that without forgetting Her Imperial Majesty presence. The briefing was entirely related to the war and the European Population feeling about it, plus the advances on all fronts. The Imperial Military advanced in the Northern Front with the military already at sieging Kiel and having taken Hamburg before it; Meanwhile the Central Front had the same success but with the advance being slow compared to the north since it was recently at the outskirts of Hannover and Kassel, both cities having rejected the first wave of attacks and giving the Europeans a defeat, driving them back to the outskirts of both cities, however it had under control Frankfurt and Stuttgart with the advance being safely there albeit, it was expected that Munich wasn't going to fall without a fight and that there could be a possible counterattack by the German Forces to reclaim the lost territories in the heart of the nation. The Austrian Front however, it had a change and was already moving in, after an infiltration offensive in the Katschberg Pass, European Forces were able to break through the Archduke Charles Line and force the enemy out of their positions, giving some breathing room as they finally begun to make slow but steady progress as they focused in making sure there wasn't any resistance around the mountains as they crossed them. Meanwhile the Dalmatian-Balkan Front had success as after five weeks of battle the city of Split fell and the Germans surrendered, it was one of the longest sieges of the war as of now but it was expected that the homefront was going to have the longest sieges considering the Russians were also getting from the east, that meant it was an all or nothing. Meanwhile the landing in Albania was successful long term, the entirety of the adriatic sea being under European Control strategically and with the assault divided in three roads: North, East and South; North to link up with the allied forces and take Belgrade, East en route to Macedonia and Bulgaria and, South to take Greece, the birthplace of Western Civilization with the goal being Athens. It was expected after six months south, that both eastern and southern Forces in the balkans would link up with the Russians over the course of the next weeks and link up in the area around Mount Olympus before they push to Athens. However, it wasn't the only campaign around Greece since it was planned for the next weeks to make a landing around Crete as soon as the German Mediterranean Fleet is out of combat either permanently or temporally enough to have Crete under Imperial control and able to harass the remaining enemy ships. The Navy meanwhile had the control of the seas, blockading any remaining way the germans have to supply themselves from foreign nations such as Denmark, all while also having defeated the enemy navy at the New Battle of Jutland after they were themselves defeated in the Battle of The German Bay when the Germans broke the blockade temporally around in order to gain time for more supplies as the agricultural heart of Germany is already under Russian Control. The Air Force meanwhile, it was entirely busy at gaining Air Superiority and bombing the industrial facilities that aren't under allied control in order to delay and stop the war production, however, since the beginning of the war was with the germans making an offensive of their own part of the Air Force was kept to keep the Air Superiority around home under control in case they pull something under their sleeve. The rest of the talk was busy in the occupation and how to deal with any resistance alongside the economical impact of the war and it's benefits long term alongside how to include the new territories under the Imperial Federation, it was to be a long reform culturally, politically and socially alongside trying to unify the languages to the main four languages and make sure the population spoke it, alongside getting rid of the rotten apples in all sectors of the soon to be extinct German Empire, either by handing them to the Russians; or doing it on their own. By that point everything was set, all planned and ready. Now, it was just a matter of winning the war. One Month Later. Palace of Versailles, Paris, EIF.
Now here it came a moment of love, fun and, politics. Yes; even when you have your wife returning home at least to rest, it also had another reason, the partition of Europe. It was certainly going to happen sooner or later, but better that it was sooner. But enough of that since it's for later on, time to focus back in the Admiral. She would be recived by a group of Imperial Guards soldiers that were to escort her to Versailles as soon as she landed in the Charles De Gaulle Airport and stepped out of her plane. The reasons were already given to the government and it was all clear; her vehicle would be escorted all the way to the palace where as soon as they were at the doors of it, the vehicle would stop as a group of soldiers saluted her when she stepped down of it. A maid would appear and led her to where Her Majesty was; in middle of the gardens. The Bosquet du Marais more exactly. There she would find her wife waiting for her appeareance, sitting in a outdoor table while reading a few books alongside drinks for both of them. The maid which escorted Tomoe would cough, catching Her Majesty's attention. "Your Highness, Her Majesty Tomoe is here." She said, bowing deeply while Juli smiled at both of them. Glad to see her wife back. "Thank you Sophie, please take a rest while you stay here with us. I feel like I will need help in getting everything back to the Grand Trianon." She smiled warmly as the maid nodded, deciding to stay and rest, but also keeping aware and vigilant. "Nice to see you're back home sweetie. I guess Lelia finally gave you a break." She answered chuckling while getting up and kissing her wife deeply for a minute before breaking off, she did wanted to kiss her after all. "We better get straight to the point shall we?? Please take a seat first." | |

The Gigantic Military complex of Overlord67 | OSS Arctans, Long-Bow Class Destroyer Freshly designed and constructed straight out of the OSS Fleetyards the OSS Arctans is the first Long-Bow Class Destroyer to be launched and tasked as part of the Overlordian planetary defense fleet. The Long-Bow is a heavily armed lightly defended destroyer, which forgoes conventional Overlordian design in the form of less defense to maximize offensive capabilities. The Long-Bow is 1,346 meters long, and 145 meters wide. The Long-Bow's was built and designed around a single central weapons system, which was designed following the successful introduction of ZPM Technology. It was designed to make use of a ZPM's massive energy output capabilities by harnessing it and channeling it into a single focal blast of energy. The weapon is thus capable of striking hostile vessels, defensive locations, or even planetside positions from extreme distances. Weapons System and Energy Production/Storage The Long-Bow was specifically designed to utilize the newly designed ZPM technology. A ZPM, or Zero Point Energy Module, is the primary power source for all Overlordian vessels currently under construction as well as being placed on any older vessel capable of containing the power chamber. Making use of a ZPM takes a great deal of space within a vessel but is used to power everything from engines to shields and primary weapons. The Weapons system of the Long-Bow channels the energy of 12 separate ZPM's, and 36 sub system Fusion cells. Each ZPM core generates it's own energy charge and channels that energy into large capacitor banks along the inner lining of the ship. These capacitors can store a great amount of energy from each ZPM, a full charge taking roughly 25 minutes to achieve. Once fully charged the vessel contains enough energy to power a small city, or a small fleet of Overlordian cruisers at full power. At that point 4 large thermal radiators extend at the rear section of the vessel. These radiators are critical at keeping the weapon system cool enough to fire while fully charged. After a discharge the radiators compress back to aid in the charge time of the vessel until fully charged again. The radiators must also compress to the hull of the vessel during transportation or when traveling through a Jump Gate. When the weapons system has achieved a full charge and the radiators have been properly extended the ship reaches a lockdown point, where the crew is suspended in a protected chamber at the central section of the rear of the vessel behind the ZPM cores. Once the crew is secured in this position large connecting pylons drop through every section of the vessel, connecting the inner linings and the outer hull to the capacitor banks. This turns the entire vessel into a single channel for the energy to be released, similar to a lightning rod. At this point the hull at the front of the vessel retracts to reveal the inner lining of the ship which connects to the power banks. The central lining is primarily a magnetic super conductor to channel the charge of energy. Now ready to fire the energy in the banks is released, supercharging the hull and inner lining. It will take roughly 3.5 seconds to fully release the energy contained down the central lining of the ship and out the magnetic superconductor. The wave of energy released will superheat the hull of the ship to nearly 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit, making it completely inhospitable and thus requiring the crew to be safely within the ships containment chamber. When released the energy beam fired from the weapon will travel from the vessel at a rate of roughly 299,789,460 m/s, or 99.999% the speed of light towards the desired target. Upon impact the beam will deliver a force of roughly 230 million megatons of TnT, comparable to the energy released in a single solar flare. The energy wave is capable of penetrating over a mile of solid steel, concrete, or most other construction materials. It will carry on in a single direction from the point of fire until impact, or until the energy radiates off and the beam becomes harmless. This in effect will take roughly 3 1/2 years to achieve, in which the beam will have traveled several light years away from the point of fire. The energy wave is capable of melting most known materials and penetrating most known energy barriers with relative ease. The effective range of this system is theoretically higher then is feasibly possible. When firing at a non moving target the weapons system has little to no trouble striking from planetary distances, however in ship to ship combat the effective range drops to roughly 2 light seconds in distance. At this distance the ship must calculate far in advance where the hostile vessel will be at the time the sensors detect it rather then where the vessel is in real time due to light delay. Any ship of significant size at that range would be virtually incapable of dodging the beam, as by the time it is detected it would have already hit the vessel, and if the vessel is moving already in a direction not direct to the Long-Bow then the ships targeting computer will fire the beam at where the hostile vessel will be by the time of impact. Thus the Long-Bow is capable of getting off an opening shot long before any conventional weapons system from a hostile vessel is capable of getting even a remote lock on the vessel. To compensate for light lag the targeting systems of the Long-Bow are the most advanced system ever designed by the Overlordian navy. The system is capable of tracking and predicting a hostile vessel's movements to the nanometer baring any unknown force or force significantly more advanced in propulsion then any modern system. However like many other systems once the weapon has depleted the energy banks it will take several minutes to reboot and retarget any additional vessels. Power Drawbacks Due to the massive power requirement of the primary weapon every subsystem of the ship goes into power saving mode leading up to the firing moment. When the weapon has fired the power banks of the vessel are completely depleted. This means that the ships shield, propulsion, life support, targeting, etc are offline for nearly 5 minutes. In that time the ship is completely helpless and thus vulnerable to hostile attack. Even once the power returns the ship only has a minor defensive shield and no defense weapons to speak of due to the requirements of the primary weapon. The crew of the ship can only survive aboard this vessel within a self contained and insulated chamber at the rear of the ship. The chamber is self contained and is severed from the rest of the ship when the weapon fires, suspended in a void space in that section of the vessel. The chamber contains its own life support and communications systems. Communication can not penetrate the hull of the ship when fully charged, and after the weapon fires it takes several minutes for communication to be reestablished, making the crew blind to the void of space for a brief period of time. After the weapon is fired the ZPM cores immediately begin to recharge the power banks. A full charge takes roughly 25 minutes to achieve, at which point the ship is ready to fire again. Due to this long charge time and brief time in which the ship is entirely offline the ship must be protected by a defensive fleet if desiring to destroy multiple targets. Crew and Subsystems The Long-Bow only has a crew of 24 people. It has little space for any passengers nor military embarkments to be aboard it. The vessel contains a single small transportation shuttle and enough escape pods to save the lives of the crew. The crew itself is made up of a commander, three military officers, a navigation and communication officer, and 19 various engineering and repair servicemen. These men and women are tasked with the oversight and maintenance of the ships systems, commanding various drones and repair droids to aid in their day to day jobs. The vessel is highly automated and requires little maintenance work, with the most damage often caused by melted wiring from the weapons primary fire. The engine cluster at the rear of the ship contains 4 primary thrusters. These thrusters can only be used when the weapon is not being fired. To aid in target lock the ship makes use of 36 maneuvering thrusters. These thrusters have their own power source not linked to the primary ZPM cores, but rather the Fusion Cells aboard the ship. This allows the thrusters to remain active when the vessel is preparing to fire. Once the weapon has fired however these thrusters can not be operated for safety reasons as the massive electrical discharge could overload and cause secondary explosions in the thrust chambers. The shield generator of the ship is far smaller and covers only as much area of the ship as needed, with stronger forward shielding then aft. The shield draws power from the ZPM cores, and thus must be deactivated in order to fire the primary weapon. Once the weapon is fired shields are the first system to receive newly generated power and provide some defense to the vulnerable vessel, however this takes several minutes. Finally the communication cluster of the vessel is located oddly at the aft sections of the ship. These are capable of reaching great distances, however like other systems are linked to the ZPM cores and thus unable to be used following the weapon discharge.

Nova mervay | Say no more! I'm gonna get working on something to get The Imperial Federation back on track | |
Nova mervay | The Imperial Federation The Economy was always foward and growing; worth as one of Aerth's most powerful, wealthy and prosperous nations and whose story this century has been one of a rollercoaster before the actual period of relative peace where the European Empire wasn't threatened to be wiped off the map; Pax Europaea. A period that begun after the Coronation of Her Imperial Majesty and Empress of Europe and The Europeans, Juliette VIII. This period of peace was only disrupted temporally by the The Continental War between The EIF and The Russian Empire against; The German Empire, which now was long gone as the nation begun the process to make sure the annexed territories became part of The Imperial Federation. However, they knew there was more up in the skies; space. The future of the world was up there, beyond our skies. Up there civilization waited to push for a new home; and as such, they did that thing. Project Gaia; the project that called for the colonization of planets and it's terraformation for Human Life. The EIF because of other pressing affairs wasn't able to take part like it wanted in the Mars Terraformation and it's colonization, but yet it will see it's fruits and will land to set the first three cities being bulit in Mars: Gaia, Terra and Nova Pompeii. While half of the resources for the project was going to the colonization of Mars through the Basset Space Center, the Hammaguir Space Center and then to the bases of Admiral Nicholas and Admiral Juliette. The other half was decided to be spent on aiding the Overlordian Efforts of Project Eden. The Imperial Federation was just a step close to set feet in Mars and two in securing it for the future of the nation. | |
