[The Zigur]

 

WARRIORS THROUGH AND THROUGH

[The Zigur]

We are prepared for war ready to fire
Stand by to charge
Counting down as they march into destruction
Their time has come

They'll never know we give no warning
We set a trap they took the bait
Leading them straight into hell

They will not live to tell the tale
We'll strike at dusk and fight 'til dawn
Tonight our foe is bound to fail
Our time is now all ready at arms

Upon our chosen ground dead men marching
No sign of hope
Victory will be ours before the dawn breaks
Tonight we charge

Chaos and disorder sound of the attack
Charging down the mountain frontal assault
Guns light up the darkness mortars rip the ground
Like a force of nature shaking the field

They'll never know we give no warning
We set a trap they took the bait
Cut off retreat

Released
Unleashed
The beast within berserker rage is
Released
Unleashed
A storm a force unbreakable warmachine

Victims of the ambush
Stains the ground with blood
Fields of execution murderous plan
Soldiers turn to madmen in the dead of night
Fighting with a fury fiery eyes

CREATING ORDER FROM DOOM

[The Zigur]

 

Fast as the wind, the invasion has begun
Shaking the ground with the force of a thousand guns
First in the line of fire, first into hostile land
Mechs leading the way, leading the way

Charging the lines with the force of a furious storm
Fast as lightning our warriors swarm
200 miles at nightfall, taken within a day
Thus earning their name, earning their fame

They are the Imperium elite, born to compete, never retreat (Ghost Division)
Leaving our dead, always ahead, fed by your dread

Always ahead, as the blitzkrieg rages on
Breaking morale with the sound of blazing guns
First in the line of fire, first into hostile land
Mechs leading the way, leading the way

Leaving a trail of destruction to a foreign land
Massive assault made to serve the Producerist plan
Communication's broken, reinforcements are far away
Thus earning their name, earning their fame

[The Zigur]

So silent before the storm
Awaiting command
A few has been chosen to stand
The Imperium outnumbered by far
The orders from Unified Command
Nuke back, hold your ground!

In early July it came
A Revolution unknown to the world
No raiders may enter that land
That is protected by Imperium hand
Unless you are 20 to 1
Your force will soon be undone

Baptised in fire
20 to 1
Spirit of Spartans
Death and glory
Soldiers of SNX
Second to none
Wrath of the Nordreich brought to a halt

The 9th of July it starts
The rage of Nordreich
A barrage of bombers and nukes
Stand fast, the bunkers will hold
The Marshal has pledged his life
I'll face my fate here!
The sound of artillery strike
So fierce
The thunder of guns

So come, bring on all that you've got
Come hell, come high water,
Never stop
Unless you are 20 to 1
Your lives will soon be undone
Baptised in fire
20 to 1
Spirit of Spartans
Death and glory
Soldiers of SNX
Second to none
Wrath of the Nordreich brought to a halt

Always remember, a fallen soldier
Always remember, fathers and sons at war
Always remember, a fallen soldier
Always remember, fathers and sons at war
Always remember, a fallen soldier
Always remember, buried in history

No army may enter that land
That is protected by Imperium hand
Unless you are 20 to 1
Your force will soon be undone

Baptised in fire
20 to 1
Spirit of Spartans
Death and glory!
Soldiers of SNX
Second to none
Wrath of the Nordreich brought to a halt

JULY 10 DECLARATION OF REVOLUTION

 

 

o/ Imperium

 

As the Imperium's MILCOM is nonexistent and we are facing a number of rogue threats, I am assuming supreme authority over all MILCOM and assuming the title of Grand Marshal of the Imperium.

 

The Imperium MILCOM has already been re-organized to more sufficiently deal with the threat. To this end, the old battalion structure has been replaced by a Tactical Operations Center (based on Nation Strength) similar to the one in which I was a military officer in the New Polar Order. The Tactical Operations Center will organize threat forces according to Nation Strength and allow members to request assistance and advice in a centralized conflict-oriented area.

 

Further re-organization will develop a military elite similar to the old SHADOWS unit that will act as a reliable quick-response unit. Less active active nations will be divided into military and administrative commands.

 

Instructions to Upper Tier Nations

 

Our upper tier is over-extended and beyond the reach of the majority of our nations. The recent "Struggle Vote" demonstrated that 70% of the membership has committed itself to "never capitulating" and as such we will not flinch nor hide from the threats of terrorists and rogues, regardless of their nation-strength.

 

The issue of upper-tier over-extension will be resolved by nuclear warfare. All nations 100,000 NS and higher are authorized to engage at will against any upper-tier raiders. We will lose nationstrength and infrastructure in the nuclear hellfire to follow, but this will work to our advantage as our upper tier drops into our middle tier.

 

The end result of our full nuclear retaliation will be as follows:

 

 

• Higher tech-to-infra ratios and a reinforced middle tier (60,000 to 100,000 NS)
• Deterrence against further attacks in the long term
• Credibility in our capacity for nuclear deterrence
• A more active and better organized alliance

I will not distribute any orders to hide in peace mode. Running from the fight will not solve our long term issues, but will instead result in more attacks against anyone outside of peace mode. Such a disastrous policy would only result in our being encircled and besieged long-term and the destruction of any future military treaty potential.

 

This situation is ultimately a character-building exercise that will follow up on the lessons of the last war. In Polaris I won the Order's highest military medal (Order Hero) because I was one of the best fighters and most helpful military leaders in the low tier. The Spirit for War will become institutionalized within our Imperium and we will not be seen as weak for much longer.

 

Future Military Officers please step forward!

 

After the disastrous prior government policies my priority is currently rebuilding our military forces to deal with any foreign threat, whether rogues or enemy coalitions. Part of this process is losing the weak-minded mentality and focus on building infrastructure rather than spies, nukes and military wonders. Once we begin to understand that infrastructure only exists to finance our military apparatus we can begin building war-worthy nations that can fight indefinitely against massive odds.

FIRST BOOK OF CHANTINGS

 

1:1

Between the stars the ancient unseen enemies of mankind wait and hunger. Every voyage into the nothing is a confrontation with horror, with the implacable nations of none, and with man's own innermost fear.

 

1:2

What some call freedom is deception; occupied by trifling conflicts, the new nation is incapable of achieving his full potential. The state of nature is our Enemy.

 

1:3

The reprobate mind can be excused, and the ignorant treated with kindness. But to oppose the Imperium is wrong by definition.

 

1:4

It has entered the mind of a few that the individual is more important than the whole. They act with secret malice, exploiting the miniscule wealth of the weak.

 

1:5

In doing so they weaken themselves; though they may tower in stature, their hearts are filled with cowardice. Like cockroaches before a flashlight they flee the field of battle. Thus was the lesson harshly learned in July.

 

1:6

Ask not what the Imperium has done for you, ask instead what you have done for the Imperium.

 

1:7

The Imperium is a living thing: the commander its brain, the officers its bones, the forums and announcements its eyes and ears, the members its blood, their weapons its fists. This tells us two things: If one organ fails, the whole dies. And if the whole dies, no single organ can survive alone.

 

1:8

If deviance and poor discipline is permitted, then, the result is cancer. As the individual deviates, he infects others with his mentality, and the body begins to degenerate and weaken.

 

1:9

It is at this time Chaos seizes the opportunity to reduce us to rubble.

 

1:10

Therefore fear not the alien, but fear the heretic, for his corruption throws the gates open to attack.

[The Zigur]

 

Oh Oppressor, we have come to fight you
The Grand Marshal orders we shake the land
Our crimson banner will rise over every fortress
I am SNX, the one who defeated the reaction!

Oh Foreigner, you have violated our sovereignty
And now you kneel before our rising tide
The crimson banner made sacred by our blood
I am SNX, the one you have seen in your dreams!

Oh Exploiter, we stand together in solidarity
You will never rob our liberated Nations
The crimson banner that freed our Imperium
I am SNX, the one who ignited a revolution!

Edited October 8, 2015 by Immortan Junka

[The Zigur]

What would have happened if Supernova X had been defeated and destroyed in July? That is perhaps the most significant and upsetting question about the July 2015 Revolution.

Much has been said about the 2015 July Revolution, what happened behind the scenes, the objectives of the raiding alliances and of former Supernova X members who supported the raids, the NpO treaty cancellation, and reactionaries abroad. But speaking of a hypothetical defeat would not be possible without analyzing the history of previous SNX defeats, just as one cannot hypothesize the nature of SNX's possible defeat without taking into account the nature of our adversaries. Only then can we consider the consequences of a defeat in July.

The founding of the Imperium

As noted by the Imperium Regulations Code

Supernova X Alliance has a unique history on "Planet Bob." The following alliances, plagued by inactivity or poor discipline, were merged in an attempt to create a sum greater than its parts:

Multicolor Cross-X Alliance
League of Small Superpowers
North Star Federation
Global Democratic Alliance

Thus, the merger of these entities became represented in the name Supernova X.

Although the alliance began impressively, with ten million nationstrength and 200 members, the First Imperium was plagued by a divided government model which created strife between different branches of government.

After the shortcomings of divided government became clear during the Doom War, the Second Imperium was established, which swung the pendulum of government towards absolute autocracy. Unfortunately, new shortcomings became clear, as government became a closed and corrupt circle, and ministers outnumbered workers.

During the July Revolution of 2015, members of Supernova X deposed the Second Imperium and engaged in a resistance effort against numerous raiding alliances. In the midst of this conflict the Third Imperium was born, a meritocratic entity which evolves beyond the failure of both democracy and autocracy to create a New Order based on democratic autocracy.

Although this description of our history covers the internal reasons for decay, it does not discuss the long-term plotting of our external opponents against SNX. This plotting began as soon as the formation of Supernova X was announced.

On the 17th of August, Senator Ryan Thomas IV announced the formation of Supernova X. The announcement came under immediate fire from a number of individuals who were very unhappy to see our forerunners attempt a do-or-die merger:

 

So after you guys get steamrolled, will you break apart or separate back into the useless alliances you were before? - Krihelion/Unkajo (then in Non Grata)

With so many individuals having expressed opinions regarding our impending failure, it was thus in their interests to see that this happened. Backed by individuals and alliances adversarial towards Supernova X, reactionary elements of the Global Democratic Alliance and League of Small Superpowers fragmented, and in the case of LoSS, an administrator seized control of the first SNX forums, sharing classified information from the SNX forums with Non Grata (who in turn provided protection).

SNX was woefully unprepared to deal with the initial problems afflicting the Imperium from abroad. Beset by a heavily legalistic divided government model, there were frequent breakdowns in communications between different branches of the alliance. The LoSS declaration by Masterchief777 itself was never intended to be publicly announced and was against the opinion of myself and other members of government. This split in government would soon lead to a power struggle between the Senate, Triumvirate and Judicial branches, and the SHADOWS unit and triumvirate.

By October, after a drawn out internal struggle as Senator, I had been expelled from Supernova X. This illegal expulsion was executed by the judicial branch with the support of the triumvirate two days after I had been re-elected Senator, and was implicitly announced on October 30th. On the same day of my expulsion, Tidybowlman, a rogue who had been hiding in peacemode for over a month, openly returned to Non Grata.


 

Congrats on the new government and the lack of tywin! - XR1, a raider during the July Revolution

Less than two weeks after this announcement, Doom Squad declared war on Supernova X, capitalizing on the very poor decisions made by SNX govt. It was at this point that Supernova X continued in its rapid decline featuring multiple political fragmentations and rapid Nation Strength loss until the events in July.

July Revolution

For new members, then, it becomes clear that the hatred for Supernova X existed long before the beginning of the Revolution, supported by the ambition of tyrants desiring to boast that they had destroyed a community and an alliance. Thus we can return to the original question:

What would have happened if Supernova X had been vanquished in July?
 

• The tyranny of Masterchief777

Today we look at the actions of the traitor Masterchief777 with disgust, but during the July Revolution it was the popular opinion abroad that his "SNX Restoration Movement" would become the legitimate successor of SNX, especially with Nordreich assisting in their forced enslavement tactics. Masterchief777 was a supporter of exploitative 6/200 and 9/300 tech deals, and he secured military assistance by promising to exploit younger SNX nations on behalf of his backers.

SNX Restoration Movement later renamed themselves the Galactic Guard, but we can see by their statistics today that GG is far inferior to SNX by almost every measure. It can be seen, therefore, that had his efforts to subvert the Imperium for his own selfish cause been successful, our alliance would continue to be a failure as it was under his leadership as SNX triumvir and GG alliance owner.
 

• The Producerist Revolution halted

SNX is the first and only alliance to adopt the principles of Producerism as part of its government platform, and Producerism itself is an ideology created from the struggle of the July Revolution. It is Producerism that established the 18/300 tech deals for all SNX members and a strong military command for our common defense. It has brought us new allies and new respect abroad because it gave power back to the masses of our alliance... establishing a government by the people, for the people, and of the people.
 

• A permanent siege

Had we fled to peace mode rather than confronted our adversaries on the field of battle with nuclear weapons, assuming we had not been force-disbanded, there is a good chance our upper tier would still be in peace-mode today and a constant target of raids and invasions. There is no desire abroad to ally any alliance consisting of cowards; by finally demonstrating our mettle and determination to the world, we have deterred our extermination.
 

• Less active players in the game

A strong case can be made that many nation rulers would have left the game if SNX had been destroyed; in Polaris I was informed by members here that they would simply quit if Supernova X died. Also, we would not have excellent new members like Animus, Leicaboss, Corvo and Anadaric as active and productive Officers today.

The lessons of July

Thus by looking at our history we can observe some crucial lessons regarding our path going forward

• We can never allow ourselves to soften militarily and must maintain our nuclear deterrence
• We must remain unified in command, commissioning and accomplishing new goals
• We cannot allow fear to govern our actions when fear had betrayed us in the past
• We must remember that at the first signs of weaknesses, our adversaries moved against us
• We have to realize that as long as we are a determined military force we can never be defeated

Hear the sound of a machinegun
Hear it echo in the night
Mortars firing rains the scene
Scars the fields
that once were green

It's a stalemate at the frontline
where the soldiers rest in mud
roads and houses
all is gone
there is no glory to be won

know that many men will suffer
know that many men will die
half a million lives at stake
Ask the fields of Passchendaele

Thousands of machineguns
Kept on firing through the night
Mortars blazed and wrecked the scene
Guns in the fields that once were green

Still a deadlock at the frontline
Where the soldiers die in mud
roads and houses since long gone
still no glory has been won
know that many men has suffered
know that many men has died

Six miles of ground has been won
Half a million men are gone
And as the men crawled the general called
And the killing carried on and on
How long?
What's the purpose of it all?
What's the price of a mile?

Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army on the march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men's lives
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army in despair
Knee-deep in mud
Stuck in the trench with no way out

My people. Sons and daughters of the Imperium.... For many years, we have been a broken alliance... Shunned, oppressed, and conquered by those we sought to escape!

 

...Five months ago, I asked for time, and that time was granted by you. You, the strength in my arm, the holders of my dreams.... Our forefathers embarked on the greatest exodus in the history of all mankind... An exodus for freedom. Supernova X became that freedom!

 

Our new alliance changed our Nations. At first, it weakened us, but in fact, we were growing... stronger.

 

In the time you have given me, I have rebuilt our alliance, I have rebuilt our strength, and I have rebuilt our pride!... Our enemies at home have been re-educated. We have given them new insights into our cause.

 

On this day, we stand united once more. On this day, those driven to divide us will hear our voice! On this day, we shall act as one, and we shall be ignored NO MORE!

 

Defenders of the Imperium dream, NOW IS OUR TIME!

Imperium Resilience Training (IRT) is TRADOC's militarization program for new recruits and nations inadequately prepared for warfare. IRT should be utilized for nations that have little war experience, would be classified as a soft target, have poor infra/tech levels or are deficient in military wonders for their nation-size.

 

Imperium Resilience Training is also good for more experienced and capable nations to brush up on military basics. Training begins with completing a checklist of military knowledge administered by a Drill Instructor. Drill Instructors will instruct classes consisting of several IRT trainees.

 

Completing the Imperium Resilience Training course (including reading material, nation optimization and scenario discussion) will earn the IRT Training Ribbon. Additionally, trainees who volunteer to duel and who defeat their selected opponents according to scenario objectives will earn the Imperium Guard Ribbon.

Supernova X is a refuge from the scum of planet bob. In many other alliances the principles of civilization are all but forgotten, while in others barbarian conditions have always prevailed. Our soldiers are battle-hardened, impressed from barbarian enclaves and revolutionaries who prevailed against overwhelming odds.

 

With less than 50 members we altered the course of history during the struggle in July. We have a superior culture and highly disciplined membership dedicated to be the best. We do not tolerate the degeneracy seen in many other alliances, and hold ourselves to professional standards... a bastion of order in a sea of chaos.

 

Do you have what it takes to join the best?

Glorious Imperium of Liberated Nations

Supernova X, will forever stand!

Through tempests the freedom of order has cheered us,

Along the new Way where Junka did lead,

Be true to our people, and never surrender

And inspire us to labor and glorious Deed!

 

Our army grew up in the heat of grim battle,

Barbarian invaders we swiftly struck down.

In combat the fate of the future we'll settle,

Our alliance we'll lead to eternal renown!

 

Sing to our Imperium, Free and Undying,

Bastion of Nations in Bravery Strong!

Flag of the Producers, Flag of the people,

From Victory to Victory lead us on!

STORM COMMANDOS

 

The Sensitive Tactical Operators Revolutionary Militia, or STORM, is a new military unit featuring the most active and capable veteran SNX warfighters.

STORM Commandos represent the Imperium Elite, unafraid of damage they fight as shock troopers, plunging into enemy ranks regardless of the odds. STORM Commandos are chosen from the best warfighters on the battlefield.

STORM Commandos have SECRET clearance access, allowing them to access and participate in sensitive government areas of the forum. From there they may climb the chain of command as officers, or simply standby to engage all enemies of the Imperium on a moment's notice.
