KaiserMelech Mikhail Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 I am pleased to present you with several recent technological advancements that have been made all around the Marscurian Empire recently. In the city of Mietonka, the economical center of the country, the Mietonka Tower has become the first skyscraper in the empire to reach a hight of 1,000 feet. Front and back images of the tower. While the tower is office space rented out to various corporations, the lower building sections attached to the tower are the new home of the Mietonka Port Authority. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- News also out of Mietonka, the last crane on the conainer quays at the port has been upgraded to modern container crane styles. Old Cranes Current Cranes The old cranes are still used for specialized lifts and other liftss that do not include shipping containers --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In military news, the airforce is back to full strength after losing aircraft in the Dell Land Civil War. The airforce has also gone through an upgrade, as the aging Apache ground attack helicopter has been replaced with the MAMW MGAH-24 "Bactrian." The old Apache helicopter that was recently phased out. The current ground attack helicopter, the "Bactrian." The old apaches are up for sale to the highest bidder, and if not purchased in 2 weeks, will be sold for scrap.

KaiserMelech Mikhail Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 In military news: Today, 1000 of our finest men, under the command of Maj. Gen. Abusameyyah, departed from the port of Mietonka for Heska with the intent of helping the government there quell a communist uprising. The entire empire shows their support of the men, who were seen off by the Kaisermelech himself. Citizens on the homefront have been asked to do whatever they can to support the troops. Here, a Bull Moose tank is lowered into the cargo hold of the bulk freighter MES Ox. Here, a representitive from the Marscurian Army meets with Vladimir Sarandov, owner of Shif Shipping, to make sure that some AK-74's are secured and ready to be shipped.

OOC: Nothing gets by the Gizli Polis, NOTHING! :jihad: OOC: Airport security, or border security, whichever is appropriate in a particular case. OOC: This. Border security is very tight, while airport security is draconian. In the case of the latter, we now conduct body cavity searches, strip searches, thorough luggage inspection, metal detectors, and repeat body cavity searches, and as such. In the former, we have watchful armed border guards and vicious German Shepherd watchdogs and automated turrets.
