Castilis - Four Weeks after the Attack on the Nations Commonwealth On the eastern border of Castilis all was quite. The Border Guard was still on high alert but many of the soldiers were becoming complacent. A lone shout broke the silence. Guards rushed to the observation platforms, something was moving in the distance, but the fog that had inconveniently settled was making it hard to see. In a nearby tower, several guards fell over the railing to the ground, a bullet wound in their chests. More soldiers dropped to their death. Next a guard post exploded. It had been hit by an artillery shell. From the depths of the Fog rolled out an army. Tanks appeared first, surrounded by soldiers, high above fighter jets could be heard heading towards the capitol. Castilis was being invaded, but by whom. The tanks were a grey color and bore no flag or symbols of any neighboring country. The Council and General Weir were discussing matters of rebellions and of the State. Weir was still hoping to expand the national borders. As he was about to speak a soldier burst into the chamber. He was a colonel by his decorations. "Sir, an army has just crossed the eastern border. Fighters have been seen heading this way." Before any one could react, loud sonic booms filled the air. Weir and several council members hurried to the window just in time to see a squadron of jets fly by at extreme speeds. The squadron was being followed poorly by Castillian aircraft. "Was those our planes?" "Not the first squadron, they were too fast to be ours. They remind me of Mestran Screecher Planes" "Mestran Planes, have they invaded??" The room was silent. Confirmation had been received that the planes and the invading army did no bear Mestran markings or IFF. Several councilors gasped in shock at something outside the window. In the distance a large object was approaching the city, and planes were clearly being launched from it. Castillian Skies Mestran forces had indeed entered into Castillian air space, but they were no longer bearing the Mestran Flag, instead they bore the symbol of something else. Something larger than Mestra. As fighters flew over the Capitol, the newly constructed MHG-Helios Carrier had begun its flyover of the city. The war for Castilis would be short, as Drop Ships, and bombers removed most of the military threat. As the drop ships landed in the streets around the city, the symbol on the crafts was clear. An Eagle surrounded by Five stars. The Words "United Federal Forces" was written below it. The Dawn of the United Trade Federation had emerged. On board the Helios was the Cal Gallian Air Commander, who despite a Civil War had gathered her loyal soldiers to aid in retaking Castilis before the newly formed UFF moved into Cal Gallia. In Cal Gallia, Mestran forces had been retooled into units of the United Federal Forces (UFF) and were ordered to take key military targets and hold them until the Princess of Gall arrived to retake her country. OOC: MHG- Helios: A prototype airbourne aircraft carrier designed by the Mestran High Guard as the latest innovation in aerial technology. After the formation of the UFF, the ship was designated the UFF - Helios and its navigational operating system was upgraded with Cal Gallian software. It is the hope of the UFF that Castilian AI technology will be installed once the nation is reclaimed for King Charles. ![]() UFF - Falcon: Formerly a Cal Gallian VTOL, the Falcon was quickly converted for use by the UFF. It's upgrades include Mestran propulsion technology and Cal Gallian navigation tech. Its solid frame is Cal Gallian designed and built, while its weapons systems are made in Mestra. Due to the massive attacks on Cal Gallian, there were only about 70 Falcon VTOls in service for the invasion of Castilis. ![]() UFF - Siren: Previously designated MHG-Screecher, these sonic fighter jets were jointly built by Mestran and Cal Gallian air forces. The Siren jet is capable of Mach 4, and is designed to provide rapid changes in direction. Its primary weapon system is highly classified and jointly constructed Sonic weaponry. Such weaponry has been adapted by the Cal Gallians for sonic suppression weapons used by their police force. ![]() UFF - Hammer: Previously designated as MHG-Highlander. This Mestran designed and constructed Drop ship is the primary troop transport ship of the former Mestran Military and of the new United Federal Forces. It has since been upgrade with Cal Gallian Nav Tech. ![]() Edited by Mestra, Oct 7 2012, 04:26 AM.

Day After Invasion The Mestran Forces had caught the kingdom by surpise, the army was making tatical withdraws since the start of invasion. It was as if history was repeating itself and there was little the Castilian military could do. If that wasn't bad enough, the news of the invasion spurred the Noblity into even greater action against Weir's regime. Now entire cities were declaring themselves independant until the kings is put back on the throne in Parma. Weir himself had relocated himself to a hidden underground bunker near the capital designed to resist the strongest of attacks or bombing. Within the war room of the bunker Weir was losing it, his dream was coming apart, this bunker and a regiment of Weir's most loyal men was probally the only thing keeping him safe for now. The entire Bunker was filled with state of the art techology, along with the only AI in existence within the Kingdom. The AI was effectivily handling the majority of systems within the bunker as well as processing all the latest Intelligance from the field and coming up with possible strategies to try and fight the Mestrans and Cal gullians with. Not that these strategies would help much the Castilian Military was on too much strain and on the back foot and that before you bring in the latest news from Parma. Parma the capital was in a state of panic, police weren't able to keep order and the King's Household Guard 1st and 2nd regiments were starting to fight against Weir in the name of the King and Country effectivily turning the city into a war zone as well as starting a mutiny that may well spread thoughout the armed forces. Even in all this chaos, Weir could be sure with one thing Charles wasn't leaving the Bunker. |

Federal Forces had succesfully gained a foot hold on the eastern border of Castilis. The Federal Army had secured the border and were pushing back Castilis resistance. Several nobles of the Kingdom had taken the opportunity to declare their independence against General Weir and his tyrannical regeime. As these cities were no longer a threat the Federal Army continued its advance into the countries interior. It had been nearly three hundred years since an army had marched into the lands of Castilis, and while the Castilians three hundred years ago had pushed back the Mestran invaders, the Castilian army today was splintered and unable to stand against the might of this newly formed military. In the rebel cities, humanitarian aid and soldiers were sent to help support those regions. In Parma, the Capitol City of Castilis, the Federal Forces who had taken the city by suprise were now fighting to hold onto the Parma Airspace. The Helios Carrier was pulled back to fly around the permiter of the city and remained outside a 10 mile radius of the city center. Ground troops were deployed to the outskirts of Parma, and the long push for the city was soon underway. Estimates were that the city may be taken in several weeks. Mestran Naval ships had begun to blockade the coast of Castilis, and were engaging in strategic bombardment of key military facilities. Minimal collateral damage had been ordered. It had been unfortunate that the Naval ships had yet to be converted to the new UFF format which made many Castilians curious if Mestra had invaded as an advantage while this new military force was engaged in the east. The theater of war was spread out across the whole of the Castilian penninsula. Life was getting rough for those caught in the middle. |

The Bunker - War Room It had been yet another busy day within the bunker, so much so everyone was pulling double shifts and Weir hadn't even have a wrink of sleep. It was clear to everyone in the war room that weir was started to be affected by the lack of sleep. Weir expected a united kingdom at his back but everywhere he could see on the 3d map of castilis showed Cities declaring neutrality, an easten invasion force pushing deeper into the kingdom with more regiments standing down or mutining with the Household Guard. Not only that but the entire castilian navy was unwilling to lift a finger to the blockade of mestran ships that they had worked with so closely with in the past. Weir had half the mind to have Admiral Johnson shot but that would have to wait. There was better news however in the skies above Parma, thanks to the AI now named Alpha, Castilian Aircraft were able to push back the UTF's air but Alpha noted that this wouldn't be case for much longer as more Airforce Bases were being taken out of war. Weir was also starting to disagree with Alpha's ground tatics of drawing the invasion force deeper into castilis and then by using two mechanised regiments still loyal to loop round and either flank or attack it's supply lines. Weir was instead directing these regiments to attack Cities that were accepting this Humantarin aid off the invaders calling traitors to kingdom. If Weir carried on there wouldn't be much of a military left to fight for him. Parma The fighting in the capital was becoming worse, every street was effectivily it's own war zone. Weir's men had managed to push the Household Guard off their route to the Escorial palace at the center of the city where an entrance to the bunker could be found. Every time the guards tried to make a push towards the palace they were attacked by morter and small arms fire. The Guards wanted to avoid any civilian casulties which was slowing down their progress even more. However what the Guards were fighting was only a small portion of the men under Weir's command within the city that was aimed at keeping them occupied. The rest are getting ready for the inveitable ground attack on the capital. But with more and more Soldiers leaving Weir's cause around the country it was only a matter of time before even Weir's most devout to be affected. Cilivian casulties at this point is unkown but estimated to be growing. The Castilian ecconomny at this point is effectivily non-existant as several major corperations, banks etc took a massive hit from this war. |

Parma - HouseHold Guard Progress has been slow for the gaurd in the capital, while they have managed to make some headway towards the palace on the ground they were finding more and more civilian casulties coming in from Weir's morter bombandment earlier that day. The Guard were sparing what they could to help them but it wasn't much. Captain Owain of the Guard was leading his platoon though the sewers in order to get to the Escorial palace. Surpisingly the sewers weren't as bad as they thought but the smell was still horrible but they carried on. Owain's platoon managed to cover more ground then their brothers and sisters above ground and it didn't give their opponeant's the chance to morter them in fact they were only a block away when they met some resistance in sewers from a few soldiers set up just in case. Owain had to send a section of his platoon off to flank but that would take some time to happen and by the the entrance of the sewers would surely of been reinforced. Easten Froniter Count Christo of Gendo was linking up the other noblity under his banner to meet up if this invading force and to fight them if fired on but Count Chris was hoping he could strike a deal with or at least find out who they were. The Castilian military on the otherhand who were still loyal to Weir were preparing to make a stand against this force. Preparing Anti-air, artillary and several rudimentary bunkers and trenchs the few regiments left were going to stand and go out swinging. The Airforce in Castilis was now effectivily at minimal effectiviness with only the few fighter squadrons fighting above Parma which were starting to run out of fuel and ammo still in the fight. Most Airforce bases in castilis had backed down when their bombers recieved orders to blow up innocents in the free Castilian cities. Parma -The Bunker Weir was getting more frantic as time passed by. Barely any of the Castilian military was now on his side and what was left were making a last stand in the east and around Parma. His control of Parma was still tight, the Guard was little more then a thorn to him at this point but as soon as the invaders attack the guard who had been pened in so nicely may break if there was panic among Weir's men. Weir had in fact given the order if any man runs away they are to be shot. Alpha was still trying to give solutions and tatics to Weir but Weir was now ignoring him completely. Alpha had deduced that the invaders were in fact liberaters due to they conduct to the noblity and the cities as well as the disloyal regiments. So Alpha as due to his programing started to look for a way to make sure the kingdom would surrive at any cost and for that to happen the King will be needed. Alpha started to devise a plan and sent a hidden message to the Guard and to the liberaters showing the location of the king and how to get into the Bunker under the Escorial Palace. |

Eastern Command Center - Castilis General Brakis Von Relik paced back and forth along the long holographic image of Castilis. The final orders were about to be given and he wasn't in a mood to wait. Moments later, the temporarily set up holographic pads lit up and images of several people were projected into the room. The last pad lit up and the images as well as the General saluted. General Brakis looked around at his fellow officers. He was joined by Admiral Sanchez of the Blockade Fleet, General Coris who was stationed in Cal Gallia, Admiral Alexis Drake who commanded the UFF Helios and was engaging the capitol Parma, and lastly Alexander Nicholas, Emperor of the Mestran Empire and temporary Commander-in-chief of the United Federal Forces. Three hours later the plan was in place. Admiral Drake would return the Helios to Parma and lay down a full air raid on the city. Admiral Sanchez would launch any support craft he could and send them into the interior of the country to assist Admiral Drake, and General Brakis was to let hell loose and destroy what remained o f Weir's Troops. Hopefully the attacks would gain the House Guard enough time to get into the bunker, while Federal Troops were dropped into the city to support them. Parma - 8 hours later The sky erupted with fire and ash. The Helios Aircraft carrier was brought in over the city as its bombers and fighter jets picked off the last of the air defense systems and jets. 300 Fighters had been launched from the Navy blockading the country, and they were removing the last of Castilis airforce while they protected the Helios. As the streets lit up with mortars and gun fire, Federal Forces were dropped into combat as quickly as possible along with several tanks, artillery trucks, and humvees. Field Commander Terrance O'Rilley, a Cal Gallian soldier, quickly found the leader of the House Guard and offered the full support of the United Federal Forces. The final War for Parma had begun. Eastern Border Tanks and heavy artillery rolled through the now wasted border guard. Bombers had easily removed the make shift guard posts, while UFF- Siren fighters leveled the area. As the final push was made resistance from Weir's men deteriorated. The next stop for General Brakis was Parma. Perhaps the nobles would join the UFF in retaking their country. Mestran Capitol - I'balan Alexander was meeting with the military command that was overseeing the Cal Gallian Theater. Preparations were being made to send mass troops to the north to seize the nation and bring stability to the area. Princes Angelis had recovered from her radiation poisoning and was preparing the battle plans herself. Alexander had offered his full support and thus the two of them had formed the UFF to bring greater cooperation. Hours Later, Alexander was in yet another meeting discussing the relocation of refugees from Lemmingtopias, who had graciously provided many accommodations for the Cal Gallians. Alexander was pleased that Lemmingtopias had honored their old friendship. Perhaps one day relations between the two states would become renewed. An hour later, Alexander was in a budget meeting. The Treasury was working diligently to allocate enough funds to cover the expense of the war in both Castilis and Cal Gallia. Funds had to be given to help rebuild Castilis and bring it back to a solid economy, and Mestra had already agreed to support the rebuilding of the Cal Gallian Capitol. Things in the region were looking grim. |

Parma - House Guard It was long before the guards found a message on one of the communication frequencies. Wary of the infomation provided by this unkown source, the Guards soon they started to pick up speed when they recieved more infomation on the same channel about the kings location. The Guard no longer cared who and what got in their way as they marched and fought they way to the palace. If a innocent was shoot or if a guardsman fell they were no longer to be cared for by the medics they had their mission and nothing was stoping them now. When a Commander O'Rilley approached the Guard field HQ based at Parma's Sports Arena, which had been heavily mortered by Weir. He found multiple weapons pointed at him but as he was their under the flag of truce the CO of the Guards allowed his entry and started to co-ordinate their efforts. Parma - Weir's troops When the UTF also began their attack on Parma, they dismayed with the trynical rule of Weir's elite men and were met with stiff resistance. But with the Household guard at their backs Weir's men were wary of being flanked. However with no more air support avaible to them and little in the way of anti-air Weir's men were quite weak to attack helicopters if they were sent in. The Bunker - War room Weir knew he had lost this war, everyone in the room did. Weir had lost contact with all troops on the easten front. He had no more air support and the military units left around the country weren't ready to support his claim to rule any more. Weir was starting to think of running and linking up with the SoT out of country but what would be his best bet. He couldn't fight his way out of the city, Air was a no go. But maybe the coast, catch a boat and go long the coast till he enters neighbouring nations land. Weir turned to give an order "Bring the King here and have a gun pointed to his head at all times and only shoot on my order" Weir then pointed too four soldiers who made up his personal protection team "come with me, we're moving" Weir was now making a break for it. |

A Few hours later - Escorial Palace The Guard had made a mad run to the palace since the news of Charles location reached them. Of course they had been slowed down here and there due to Resistance of the Opfor, but strange after a few minutes of open fire fight the opposition would quiet down and disappear. It was if the Guard had a guardian Angel watching over them. When they reached the palace, they found it strangely quiet. They all found it to be to easy as if something was wrong. Where were the enemy, upon searching the palace they found them. All corpse's armoured from bottom to top armed with the best weaponry the Castilian military could buy, there were no bullet shells or anything that could how that a battle had taken place. The Guard had no idea what happened but took it as a sign god or luck was on their side. They found the same when they entered the bunker, except this time there was a fight but still no sign of any attackers. Whoever did this were incredibly skilled and covered their tracks. Wary that whoever did could still be near they advanced carefully, hopefully the King was still alive. The War Room - Charles POV Charles was still blindfolded and cuffed he had no idea what had happened. He had heard Gun shots, the sounds of blades cutting flesh. Wether this was a rescue or not. The fight didn't sound like it was long but the wait afterwards was long and tormenting. Charles was just waiting for killing blow that would finish him off but it never came instead he started to hear voices, Castilian voices but were they his captors. Guard POV The Guard entered the War Room, this room was different to the rest of the bunker the kills here were more brutal and messy not clean and quick like the others. But largest difference was that there was a survivor kneeling in the middle. Cuffed and blindfolded. It could only be one person, it was the King who else could it be. One of the Guardsmen quickly uncuffed him and got rid of the blindfold. They had done it the Civil war and liberation was finally over in there eyes. It didn't take them long to secure the rest of the Bunker but there was no sign of Weir. Alpha's POV Alpha had opened all security doors for the attackers and guard, but kept itself hidden from then and everyone else. After the unkown attackers dealt with Weirs men and the Guard had rescued Charles, Alpha was content that he had fulfilled his programming and would remain on stand by and advise the king for the next few months on how to rebuild the Nation was it's plan. Alpha for now sent out a message on all frequencies claiming the King was alive and well. The war would soon be over but the search for Weir had just begun. |

Castilis As Charles was carefully brought out of the bunker and the Palace, a drop ship bearing the seal of the UFF landed in the courtyard. The House Guards seemed on edge, but were hesitant to act given the UFF aided them in taking the city and getting Charles back. The rear hatch opened and from the ship marched a dozen soldiers who were wearing the uniform of the Mestran Imperial Guard. Following them came Alexander, who quickly marched towards Charles. Alexander clasped Charles hand and Alexander quickly replaced one of the Castlian guards as an escort for the King. With Charles arm around Alexander's shoulder, the two leaders walked slowly towards the ship, the House Guard in tow. "Your Kingdom is yours once more, old friend. Let's get you some aid." Charles and his closest House Guard were air lifted out of Castilis and to Mestra to receive medical treatment. Alexander would have preferred to have Charles treated in his own country, but granted the best hospitols in Castilis were over full with patients or destroyed, the options were very slim to insure the safety of the King. Cal Gallia With news reaching the people of Cal Gallia and the UFF soldiers stationed there that Castilis had been secured, the Civil War began to deteriorate. With the return of the Princess of Gall as the legitimate ruler of the nation, and the quick actions of the UFF, Cal Gallia had quickly stabilized with less conflict that in Castilis. It may have helped that Cal Gallia's military had been utterly destroyed in teh attacks, and those engaging in the Civl War had little weaponry to defend off the UFF and those citizen's who supported the Princess. Imperial Palace - I'balan, Mestra Alexander had been involved in all day discussions with Angeleas, Princess of Gall, and Charles, King of Castilis. The three had discussed the matter of refounding the Nation's Commonwealth, but given the tragedy that lead to the complete collapse of Zanvuer and Wildlife sanctuary666, rebuilding the commonwealth would be fool hearty. Such a body was unable to protect the realms the first time. Hours, days, and a week later they had reached an understanding. Castilis would annex the lands of Zanvuer, while Cal Gallia would annex the lands of Wildlife Sanctuary, the United Federal Forces would be formalized under the new United Trade Federation, whose centralized government would handle the military, foreign affairs, economy, and trade regulations of the three nations. The Future looked promising for the United Trade Federation (UTF), and work with Lemmingtopias, a major trading partner of the three nations would be ongoing, as the transition from single nation to a multi-state Federation was underway. |
