IFN News Report

With the end of the Karma War and the stand down of Pegasus' crews, the fleet has been allowed to continue it's operations to construct a number of colonies across South Korea surrounding a number of larger ships capable of atmospheric flight. Once colony defenses and economies are fully established these ships shall be 'gutted' and removed of internal sections to accommodate growing populations.

There has been some opposition to the decree of turning the fleet into permanent buildings and places of residence for some time now, and so far Minister Lockheed has allowed for a small number of larger cruisers to remain in orbit along side the Battlestar and the more vital ships such as the refineries and freighters but the simple fact is that unless new resources of fuel, metal and other vital requirements are found the fleet cannot be maintained and will have to be abandoned.

In other news, direct action has begun to be taken against the pirates and Nemesis Wing working along side strike teams of the 66th Colonial Marines have reportedly sunk three of the pirates ‘motherships’ from which their smaller craft are carried from long distance to their targets.
A division has been assembled and sent to Kitex under the command Lieutenant Colonel O'Rorke as a more direct effort to strike out against the pirates and destroy the threat to the colonies and the supplies coming in from orbit.

Furthermore it has now been fully confirmed that the military units are on full alert, and a warning has been issued to other nations in the east that without direct identification and authorization, both ships and aircraft entering Pegasus designated territories will be placed under arrest or shot down if they refuse to cooperate with boarder patrols.
More on this as it develops.

OOC : are those "ships" in space? words like.. orbit etc made me wonder.
and yet you talk about colonies around south korea which would mean on the planet
but then you talk about ships with atmospheric flight.

sorry if those seem like stupid questions but my brain feels !@#$%*^ trying to keep up lol

OOC: No that's alright I have the habit of not simplifying things so others can keep up, but this actually leads on from the last couple of threads I made in here and a few others as well.

My old nation was destroyed as the result of the NPO and I chose to base my next one round the plotline of Battlestar Galactica with a small number of survivors escaping a holocaust with a lone warship to defend them (and naming the new nation Battlestar Pegasus in the process.) So yes, the fleet and the Pegasus are capable of orbit and are starships.

An idea I had was for the fleet to start re-colonizing on planet after almost all of Korea came within my area of influence in game, so most of the starships have begun landing and building cities.

The paragraph about pirate ships relates to this thread: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?s...t&p=1692809
In this an allied nation is being attacked by pirates (the ones who use actual ships that go across the water) and as such I got involved in attacking them using atmosphere capable gunships and fighters. At the same time atmosphere capable freighters are dropping off supplies at the colonies.

It’s a bit hard to specify which ship is which when you’ve got three types in one post.

Does that make this understandable?

OOC yeah thankyou
