[quote]Since the development of corporate capitalism, the world has wrestled with how one is too deal with the inherent contradictions between the best interest of populations and the best interests of corporations. While corporations offer some economic advantages which make them permissible with some restrictions placed upon them, it is evident that they are inherently a dangerous and subversive organizational structure. One thing which is obviously clear, is that structures which exist merely to maximize their own profit should certainly not act as sovereign entities. This is the role for the nation-state.

The Corporation of MoG[Corp] is emblematic of the inherent corruption created when corporate fat cats are allowed to pilfer the coffers of ordinary citizens:

MoG[Corp]'s unchecked expansionism and human rights abuses for management's self-gorging are numerous, too numerous to count. But we'll make a good run at it:

[list]
[*]Suspicion of violation of the Conventions on the Rights of Women
[*]Suspicion of violation of the Conventions on the Rights of Children
[*]Suspicion of kidnapping large populations from the United Federation of the East, Burma, Japan and other parts of East Asia
[*]Suspicion of conspiracy to distribute narcotics in violation of numerous country's sovereignty.
[*]Suspicion of Human Traffic and Slavery
[*]Suspected abuse and non-justified capture of rare endangered Penguin
[*]Suspicion of environmental degradation in Polar regions.
[*]Suspicion of stealing our oxygen.
[/list]

The responsible powers of the world shall not allow this to continue. Therefore, we place our collective militaries under the command of the International Security and Exchange Commission to seize Mog[Corp] assets globally. We would declare war, but it is impossible to declare war on a non-sovereign entity.

As soon as the joint declaration was issued by the United Federation of the East on behalf of the coalition of the willing, a flight of two CH-53E Super Stallion, and two SH-60 Seahawk helicopters began lifting off the deck of the reduced-visibility maritime command ship, CFS [i]Harbinger[/i]. The [i]Harbinger[/i], with the escort of the two attack submarines [i]Spurdog[/i] and [i]Catfish[/i] had arrived off the waters of the Brunt Ice Shelf quietly. The helicopters would take off in groups of two, with the launch of two MQ-8 Fire Scout autonomous scout/light attack helicopter UAVs precluding the launch of the last two helicopters.

Loaded aboard the four helicopters would be elements of the first and second platoons, Charlie Company, of the Cajun Federation's elite special operations force, Group 62. The special forces operators had specific orders, the liberation of the lands that the base inhabited, and the freeing of any wildlife found within.

Once airborne, the four helicopters would fly low towards the MoG[Corp] station located on the Brunt Ice Shelf, with the MQ-8 Fire Scouts flying ahead of the helicopters. The two Fire Scouts were loaded down with two Hellfire missiles each, along with their sophisticated surveillance and detection equipment. While the helicopters and UAVs made their approach, the Combat Information Center on board the [i]Harbinger[/i] was a flurry of activity as the command ship used its radar and sonar interception equipment to detect any radar or sonar arrays deployed near the MoG[Corp] base. Surface radar would be fed misinformation by the powerful interception equipment, as would be any sub-surface detection equipment, masking the approach of the helicopters and the location of the command ship.

For the second time in a year a war came close to the home front, however this time the Hellenic Forces had the initiative. The Athenian Federation had always been ready to police the Mediterranean however had not needed to do so in a long time, today would be different.

The first part of the operation would be a coordinated air assault on positions in what used to be Libya and Tunisia, followed by establishing a beachhead in Tripoli to serve as a base for further operations by other coalition forces. At the same time a smaller though very strong force would land at Cape Verde and the Canary Islands to neutralize these islands immediately. Knowing the corporation lacked a proper navy the 10 Littoral Combat Ships of the Mediterranean Fleet moved closer to the coast of Mogatopia to provide support for ground forces. 4 F-99 Squadrons would establish a CAP over the ships to protect them against air attacks from the coast. The 2 ships Mogatopia held would suffer a terrible faith as the attack HNS Nyx began actively seeking out the enemy navy. The remaining 3 attack submarines would stay near the LCS to protect them against surprises.

With the navy in place part 1 of the plan could begin. The first strike would consist of 100 U-1 UCAVs going from Malta to drop bombs over positions that held anti-air weapons, radar systems or otherwise systems that could prevent most casualties at a later attack by manned aircraft. At the same time an U-2D in position over Mogatopia held Libya, Tunisia and Algeria began seeking to actively cripple communications over radio frequencies filling these with noise. This would be done on both military as civilian frequencies to ensure the chaos which would come from it to be quite severe. After the U-2D was in position and the U-1s had returned the second stage of the air raid would begin.

From bases in Malta, Athens, Tirana and Rome a total of 5 F-1 Squadrons, 7 F-99 Squadrons and 2 B-10 Squadrons moved into the air flying towards Tripoli supported by 10 U-2Bs and 3 U-2Cs for communications, warning systems and control, Misrata and Tunis. The B-10s would stop near Malta where they would already release their weapons. 50 Hypersonic cruise missiles with conventional payloads would fire at Misrata, their intended targets being military bases, corporate locations of interest and finally commercial interests such as harbors. 100 Hypersonic cruise missiles would go towards similar targets in Tunis. Finally the bulk of the bombing would focus in Tripoli where 234 Hypersonic cruise missiles would target anything that had military or corporate value. Offices of the corporation, harbors, military airports and bases, etc. Only the international airport would be spared destruction. In the upcoming day however the enemy would find out this was more of a curse rather than a blessing.

2,000 Thracians and 30 High Guard Razors would start the final phase of the initial strike. Flying at a dangerously low to avoid most methods of detection the forces would move to the airport that had been spared only hours earlier. Once in place the Thracians commanded by the Razors would engage whatever security the airport had. Protection would be provided by the fighters that had been put above enemy airspace in the previous attack to make a bombing by enemy forces unlikely.

---

At the same time as the air strikes on Libya happened the Atlantic Fleet had different plans, in a dispersed pattern the Atlantic Fleet would establish positions along the Mogatopian coast however for now holding fire and not attacking the mainland. Cape Verde and the Mogatopia held Canary Islands would be less lucky.

The 4 Amphibious Transportable Docks would establish positions at the main islands of Cape Verde. A total of 6,000 Thracians would begin an amphibious assault, 3,000 near Praia and another 3,000 near Brava. These would soon be reinforced by soldiers flying in from Portugal making sure each island would have at least 1,000 soldiers to take down any resistance and begin the occupation of Cape Verde. Their strategy would be much like what was happening in Tripoli, taking over airports first while disabling defensive systems and engaging hostile forces. Once these objectives were complete they would move on to placing the territory they occupied under military control.

Attacking the Canary Islands would be a lot easier with airports on all of the islands, even though some very small they would be enough for Hellenic soldiers to deploy. Each of the Canary Islands with the exception of Tenerife due to it being Greenlandic would be engaged by U-1s from the carriers to soften possible defenses. At the same time soldiers from Portugal would land on the islands at the same numbers as for Cape Verde to bring the forces on each of the islands to 1,000 or more. Here too their main objectives would be to take control of anything that could potentially host aircraft, they would also take over from local authorities.

CAPs were established over the Canary Islands and Cape Verde to make sure no hostile aircraft could take a hit at ground forces.

In preparation of the event, two carrier groups and elements of the First Army were participating in the ISEC seizure of Mog[Corp] assets and had been waiting a day out from the coast, in the Atlantic.

[/b]Upon two white doves, handwritten messages from Princess Rhianne would be sent to both the PRA and Mogtopia asking for their thoughts on the current issue at hand, as well as permission for the Avatar of War to move two fleets into the vicinity of the PRA's western EEZ.
[b]
Movements
[/b]

The 1st Fleet of the Aviatrix and Exterminatrix fleets 1 and 2 would remain at high alert near Cochinian Islands in the Southern Atlantic. The 3rd Exterminatrix Fleet would also remain on high alert within the USI's EEZ waters acting as a reserve fleet should the defense of this fellow African nation spread. Remaining fleets would protect the Aeon's southern flank, as well as set themselves up for movement within the Indian ocean if need be. At the moment, they would stay in Aeon territorial waters to the east.

With Groups Alpha (NPO), Beta (SPO) and Gamma(NAO) still within Aeon waters following the general retreat of Nodic reprisal attacks created by the Aeon during the Monacan war, only Groups Delta (SAO), Epsilon (SO) and Zeta (IO) were in any position to affect the current conflict. They would remain at the heightened alert status they always enacted, but would focus more on evasion and reserve fleet activities in the interim. Care was to be given that the subs would not draw the ire of any forces involved in the potential conflict. Of express concern would be Group Zeta, which was in the immediate vicinity of the primary aggressor, the UFE. They would be instructed to stay at silent conditions, traveling below the sound channel axis to eliminate chances of detection from surface ships.

Times were precarious, and with the high volume of traffic within the contested Ocean, care would be given to ensure no Aeon submarines would be involved in pre-emptive hostilities. Orders would be given across the Aeon submarine fleet to set all acoustic decoupling stations to uncoupled to prevent stationary portions of their superstructures from receiving unwanted vibrations from nearby moving parts. Onboard propeller/magnetohydrodynamic propulsion systems would operate at minimal settings to prevent cavitation and other means with which potential enemies may detect them - both acoustic and magnetic.

All Naval assets would observe complete discipline when contacting foreign forces. All anti-torpedo ROV drones would be deployed from their hosts to detect any immediate undersea threats. While not appearing to be at full combat stance, their crews would be instructed assume it. Multi-function (AESA/PESA) radars would sweep the skies and space for satellites of potential interest, keeping note of their positions incase the need to destroy them would manifest itself.

Strategic as well as Tactical Air defenses would be at an all time high, with Airborne Early Warning, Control and Response (AEWCR) aircraft rotating at constant escorted patrol intervals to protect the fleets from air breathing assets. A perimeter of 100nmi would be set up immediately around all Aeon vessels, within which an extreme level of caution would be exercised. Conventional search and detection tactics would be employed, along with specially designated vessels within independent fleets who would be tasked with imaging wind velocities, with high resolution doppler radar. The swirls of air bogeys would leave in their wake would be sought out. Should contact be made, an intercept craft would be sent to the wake location and search for abnormal thermal patterns via their advanced Integrated Infrared Detection Units (Type-II Strained Layer Superlattice combined HgCdTe Infrared Detector). A combined electro-optical and infrared system, this system would allow the intercept aircraft to search the skies for distinctive airframe friction patterns, and thus track down stealthed targets.

Air bases in potential 'Frontline' positions would remain on full combat alert status, the designated stationary [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=77405&view=findpost&p=2478678"]Point Defense[/url] units active and ready. Combat engineering teams would continue to disperse from their stationed bases and prepare for emergency placement of the entire inventory of the deployable Point Defense systems outlined in the Omega Imperium Doctrine via 5 ton crane trucks. Anti-ship, and strategic air defense transporter erector battalions would be ordered on rotational patrols throughout the Aeon holdings as per the norm.

Component sites of the Nodic [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=77405&view=findpost&p=2086683"]DEW Network[/url] and other unaffiliated stationary and mobile radars would begin cyclic testing of their AD-MARS (Active Denial- Mission: Anti-Radiation Response) systems. In anticipation of Anti-Radiation missile attacks aimed at hindering or outright crippling Aeon search, track and fire-control assets.

The [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=77405&view=findpost&p=2075911"]IWAn'SEAUP AshM launch Grid[/url] would be set to full combat alert status via passive electronic detection in the interim, as well as their own tests of the AD-MARS. Upon notification of hostile Surface activity, all three stages would immediately ramp up their fire control systems to Active Detection and peripheral target acquisition modes from the friendly ships.

All Aeon forces under the command of the Aeon not currently taking part in present hostilities were also placed on high alert, with extra care to screen for unconventional operations. Border security placed near the Horn of Africa, Eritrea and Sudan ramped up precautionary measures. The border with the GPn'S would be instructed to look for 'allied' reinforcements should they be declared.

T-280 'TRANSCENSION' HSAM-II's would be placed on alert to engage any attempts at interdiction or strike sorties against moving and stationary Aeon Forces. All stationary surface-to-air batteries within the homeland, as well as the frontier were instructed to regularly redeploy and displace current positions with a maximum allowed break down time of 25 minutes on pain of death. Batteries would consist of a 2 x 3 formation of the afforementioned HSAM-II's and Spangle Two-stage SHORAD Missile systems, separate from stationary and deployable Partisan launcher units. T-280 'TRANSCENSION' Hyper Velocity HSAM-III's remained on standby to engage incoming Intercontinental Threats alongside the S-117 'SENTRY' Ground-Based Anti-Ballistic Missile Defense systems.

[quote][i]It has become abundantly clear that the UFE, Athenian Federation et al. has no intention to cease this unnecessary act of war against Mogtopia in the interim. The Aeon will therefore take actions to ensure that Mogtopia will be given full and equal representation in an international forum. Diplomacy must prevail today. Should a single bomb or bullet strike any Mogtopian holdings, this will be treated as an act of war upon the Principality of Aeon.

I still pray for the countless Koreans who have had their nation annihilated. Regardless of political, social or cultural affiliations - an entire nation does not deserve to be destroyed on the evidence provided by shady sources or mere hearsay.

The UFE does not hold a monopoly on peoples of East Asian descent - let alone the fact that the UFE has charged Mogtopia with the mass kidnapping of its citizens on the mere basis that a 'goodly chunk of their representatives are East Asian' or thrown out wild and as far as we can forsee baseless accusations of utilizing child labour. In fact, the only misgivings I can recall anyone having about Mogtopia or its national corporation is the Arctican protest of North African internal policies regarding recreational drugs, application of the death penalty for certain crimes as well as utilizing a volunteer force of gladiators to tape a popular gladiator sporting event.

Are these deviations not approved by some? Of course. The nation I rule once had its daily Executions publicly broadcasted for all to gleefully see. Even today, House Sidamo receives requests to relaunch 'Today's Execution' from many private citizens. While I do not agree with any of these stances, I can accept the fact that I have no right to impose my beliefs or desires on anyone other than my own followers, nor can I punish others for it should they choose to do so in their own nations!

We will not allow hastily erected casus bellis to be used as an excuse to level a nation in our immediate vicinity. We will oppose any militancy inflicted upon the people of this continent, and neutralize any invasion of Mogtopian soil with extreme and righteous prejudice. At any time, the Aeon will stand down in this affair should cooler heads prevail in both the UFE, the Athenian Federation and their allies. We would gladly support an international investigation of these wild and grave accusations hurled by this coalition after all parties agree to utilize diplomacy as a first resort, not force or violence.

We see the reports of your forces massing near Mogtopian waters, we have detected several airbreathing units inbound for Mogtopian arctic holdings and acknowledge the PRA's protests regarding this potential invasion. I take this time to reiterate, as Soverign of House Sidamo, Ruling House of the Principality of Aeon that should a bomb or bullet fall on Mogtopian soil, it will be treated as an act of war against the Principality and people I am sworn to protect.

Of particular note, AD-MARS capable search, track and fire control radars would be shipped along with decoy emitters to ensure that Mogtopian air defenses would not be lost so easily. With them, dedicated squadrons of air superiority, fast close air support and Airborne Early Warning, Control and Response (AEWCR) craft would protect these flights as they performed LAPES drops on PRA airports.

Four armored battalions would roll across the PRA along with mobile heavy AA and radar support, with similar frontal aviation assets. Heavy gunship, Heavy Tank Killer and Light Attack/Recon Helicopters would travel above as they made their way towards potential battle zones.

All expeditionary forces would number 3 mechanized infantry, 3 armored infantry, 4 tank and 2 rocket forces and artillery divisions.

2 air assault divisions and their Liberator Air Assault Tilt Rotor Crafts would fly across the PRA straight for Mogtopia only stopping to refuel in the PRA proper.

8 Helicopter squadrons and 20 air squadrons of the Air Militant Command would eventually be based in the PRA and Mogtopia proper, with additional squadrons flying defensive sorties for this massive movement and the fleets now headed for the PRA's western EEZ.

If any satellite not considered friendly was caught over Aeon territory, it would first be blinded by means so as to ensure no permanent harm would befall it. A second pass would prove fatal, as an anti-satellite weapon would be launched to ensure its demise. This procedure would commence immediately after the Princess' announcement and all the care in the world would be given to notify all space agencies involved with this Aeon intent.

OOC:

I believe that most of the combatants are indeed in the vicinity and that whilst I don't believe there have been any explicit hits, Shammy has launched helicopters and drones at his Antarctic base, centurius has launched a lot of missiles, combat uavs, an airborne assault on the tripoli airport, and is landing marines on the canary islands and cape verde. I have some forces chilling about ~1100km from the coast of Morocco who can provide air support to the canary islands but are mostly just steaming in a bit closer and should be there in force within 12-24 hours. So I am not sure if that invalidates your assumptions but let's just say I wouldn't want to sending heavily loaded, slow, strategic lifters nearby or airborne, at least not without some heavy cover and if you're sending your forces by land they're going to be a week late.

[center][u][b]Statement from the Kingdom of Cochin[/b][/u][/center]

We are appalled at the callousness with which war is being waged against an entity which though may not be a political entity as is generally understood of governments are still custodians for a large number of people. What are the causes which elicited the "suspicions" based on which this war has been declared? Or is the entire raison d'etre for this war just that MoG[Corp] is a corporate entity that controls Mogatopia? If so the first swords must be raised at another trans national entity which has been subverting freedoms of its people for longer periods, Pravus Ingruo and its MediaCorp.

We really believed United Federation of the East and Athenian Federation to be nations far more responsible than this, to declare wars on another people for no reason. We fully support the opinions of our ally Aeon in this issue.

His Highness Kerala Varma,
The King of Cochin

The Slavorussian government seemed to have missed the princess’s speech because minutes after it was given a Slavorussian satellite would be detected moving northeast from the Indian Ocean.

[Generalissimo]

Excerpt from Procinctia Broadcasting Corporation interview with Vice Admiral Bolivar, “. . . Both the United Federation of the East and Athenian Federation are stretched too thin for an extended war with MoG[Corp]. This coalition is still fighting an unresolved war in Austria against Germany, where the Germans still retain an overwhelming land advantage, and prolonged battle in Antarctica is unsustainable without drawing down European forces. This course also creates probable MoG[Corp]-German cooperation across multiple fronts when enemies of this coalition become de facto allies. . . putting this coalition in precarious positions.
Opening a second front, especially during an ongoing and unresolved battle, is usually a bad idea.”

"We refer all parties to the following [url="http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=102184&view=findpost&p=2719851"]broadcast[/url] by Mog[Corp]. In it a system is clearly established where inidividuals literally own other people. This is all the evidence needed for the allegation of slavery."
