  1. Please mark Selenarctos Protectorates as free space for new nations.
  2. Public Announcement: After much consideration and discussion with the islands and lands of the Selenarctos Protectorate Zones, the National Government is pleased to announce a change in policy. Selenarctos will continue to provide protection to lands of Oceania against outside aggression and interference but we shall reduce our roll in the formation of new governments. From no on, it shall be up to the local people and only the local people to determine their own path and destiny. This announcement marks the withdrawal of Selenarctos Peacekeeping Forces from protectorate zones, and all other lands outside the borders of Selenarctos proper. The SPF will continue its roll as a peacekeeping force, ready to be deployed and restore order and assist the White Cross on humanitarian missions wherever necessary.
  3. Here's a list of Mael's dragon pendants if you want to use it: http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=68664
  4. Public: The Selenarctos Navy, in conjunction with Precision Tactical and Fieres Shipyards, has begun testing the ADAM laser CIWS system onboard SS Jacinto. If the tests go smoothly, ADAM systems will replace the Goalkeeper CIWS guns on all seven Duwende Class Frigates by the end of next year.
  5. Public: The Navy has announced that it will phase out the subsonic P-5 missile in favor of more modern supersonic missiles over the next two years. Work on three new missiles with short, medium and non-ballistic long ranges, designated the S-3, S-5, and S-7 respectively, is underway to replace the P-5 in land and sea deployments. In addition to supersonic flight, the new missiles boast improved guidance systems, integrated electronic counter measures, EMP hardening of critical system, and networked coordination between 'packs' of missiles. The medium and long range versions will both also be available in a jamming configuration (S-5e and S-7e) and with an ablative coating to reduce the effectiveness of laser-based interception weapons (S-5s and S-7s).
  6. Yep, Russia (through several name changes) is the oldest followed by Selenarctos then Athens if my memory & math are correct.
  7. Hmm, kind of looks like the Italian CV33:
  8. "What more is a nation than a group of people in control of their own land and destiny, and the recognition of other nations that it is one? Selenarctos does not discriminate in the location or desires: if they demonstrate the former in a friendly and becoming way, then we shall provide the latter. Such recognition does not come without a cost, and our cartographers are quite confused on how best to represent the matter. Fear not for I am sure Generalissimo has a suitable pre-recorded message stashed away somewhere." -Selenarctos National Government Press Release
  9. Public: With Presidential Order 421, the national government of Selenarctos extends diplomatic recognition to the following nations: The Kingdom of Axum, the Phillipines, Novograd, Japan, Alaska, Tristate Area, Sweden and Italy. President Hygin Romero wishes the new nations well, and invites them to establish an embassy in Selenarctos Manila at their convenience.
  10. Selenarctos extends diplomatic recognition to the Empire of Brasil and welcomes them to the world.
  11. Classified: The Department of Defense has approved the procurement of the Area Defense Anti-Munitions system (ADAM). ADAM is the product of a cooperation between Bulldog Armored Vehicles and Precision Tactical to produce a laser-based CIWS weapon to disable incoming mortar and artillery shells, rockets, missiles and low-flying drones. The laser array, designed and produced in Selenarctos, offers an increased fire rate and lifetime advantage over the older STHAL systems purchased from the Kingdom of Cochin. The integrated radar system can track targets up to 25 km distant and engage targets automatically up to the laser's maximum range of 4 km. Unlike the Centurion C-RAM system, where missed rounds fall back to the ground, ADAM poses almost no risk of collateral damage and has been approved for deployment in heavily populated areas including Manila. Trials and training are expected to last another year, with deployments at major Army and Air Force bases following that. Precision Tactical is also working on a ship-mounted version of ADAM to compete with Phalanx CIWS guns.
  12. Classified: The Department of Defense has approved funding for Hernandez-Segura's M9x series of land mines. The series comes in three configurations; the M97 anti-personnel mine, the M98 anti-vehicle mine and the M99 training dummy mine. All three mines use non-magnetic materials and high-density polymers to present a negligible magnetic signature and a reduced millimeter/microwave/radar signatures. M99 training mine, with LEDs for easy retrieval.
  13. Sounds resonable for a WWII roleplay, but training new soldiers takes months. How likely is it for a nation to last that long in a war versus a modern CNRP army?
  14. Fictionizing real people is rather distasteful, PD.
  15. OOC: The original post was classified. The second post was a musing 'If DAC had access to classified files,' but they don't without a spy roll to look for a design that they don't know exists. I know there aren't infinite pictures of sci-fi concepts on the internet, some are going to get reused. I gave lkfht a hard time because he copy-pasted from the Selenarctos factbook, not because the image was the same.
  16. However, DAQ does not in fact have access to classified DoD files.
  17. Musings: With access to classified Selenarctos Department of Defense files, the Union's investigation could learn that the two craft appeared similar in the conceptual rendering in question, but that the SAC JMR-FVL was significantly bigger than the Strix with nearly twice the transport capacity and that the Strix lacked the JMR-FVL's stealthy design.
  18. Classified: The Selenarctos Aerospace Consortium presented two new aircraft to the Department of Defense today. Both aircraft fulfill the role of light air transport, one a conventional helicopter and the other a tilt-engine VTOL. The JMR-FVL is a dual rotor helicopter with higher top speed than the DoD's current fleet of Blackhawk helicopters. The JRM-FVL incorporates noise-reducing blades, radar absorbent materials and electronic warfare countermeasures in a stealthy frame with transport capacity for up to three crew and ten passengers. The flight avionics include an advanced LIDAR radar system developed by the SAC that maps navigational hazards and air turbulence, and a fully-integrated autopilot system able to control the aircraft from take off to touch down. The JRM 20 is a VTOL with rotating engines that greatly extend the aircraft's flight range. The JRM 20 incorporates many of the same stealth and avionics advances as the JRM-FVL, but with increased crew and passenger capacity.
  19. Encrypted Reply: Selenarctos approves your purchase, and estimates a 5 year delivery time.
  20. I got the impression Draka forces weren't Blitzkrieging their way into the Cape, but it is still 5-7 days travel time from normal patrols in the east Indian Ocean area.
  21. Nah, it's more fun to call Triyun out than actually fight him. Africa is your backyard too though: what's Athens' excuse?
  22. Gotta say Triyun, I don't get it. You said Tianxia thrives on conflict, but apparently that only means curbstomps where Tianxia comes out looking like a warmonger? Malatose's Draka has unprovoked aggression, intentional strikes on civilian targets, and (soon to be) mass murder on the plate yet nothing from you. I'm no global hegemonizor but since you're always itching for a war that seems like pretty valid grounds to me...
  23. Encrypted Reply: The national government of Selenarctos thanks you for inquiry. Please begin by understanding that Selenarctos is not in the habit of parceling out territory from our Protectorate Zones. In the past we have entertained the notion for a protectorate zone to separate and join another sovereign nation rather than form its own government and in such situations a public referendum was held for the inhabitants to decide for themselves. However, we do not believe that an entire island becoming the auxiliary fall-back base of an African nation's military and government is in the best interest of New Caledonia's current population. As such, Selenarctos must decline your request.
  24. Classified: Citing the unexpected outbreak of hostilities between the Dominion of Draka and the friendly-but-non-aligned Cape City, the President has raised the armed forces to DEFCON 2.
