The Kirov-class battlecruiser Bloodsworn, along with escorts, picked up a vessel en route to the Straight of Atl. The Commodore looked to his adjutant, then to the communications officer. "Hail them," he spoke sternly.
"Aye Commodore," the officer quickly barked a few orders to the men, who proceeded to open communcations with the incoming vessel. "Identify yourself," spoke a seaman.
The intercom gurgled out a reply, indentifying the vessel as the trader Lucrative en route to Ryazania from Validus.
The Commodore picked up a communication peice, glancing around the bridge before speaking. "This is Commodore Panaca, of the State Naval Forces. You will alter your course immediately. Should you enter our territorial waters, you will be boarded regardless of your actions. Should you continue without complying, you will receive three anti-ship missiles to your hull and torpedoes until a kill has been confirmed by all ships. Is this understood?"
A moment of silence, a curt reply, and the radar detected a course change. The Commodore frowned as the men went back to a ready state, he wouldn't have his catch for the day.
STATE COMMUNICATIONS
To: All Naval Vessels Entering Xyraeli Territorial Waters
From: The State of Xyrael
This is a public broadcast to all vessels without authorized clearance by the State government
attempting to enter the Straight of Atl or any Xyraeli territorial waters. You enter at your own
peril and with the full realization that Xyraeli forces are now authorized to destroy unauthorized
vessels. Clearance through the straights must be requested formally, and may not be granted.
Ozian and Uichi Ryan vessels are currently the only vessels being allowed through our waters.
UASS vessels have been given the password OBSIDIAN, which must be spoken after being boarded. Contents will be routinely inspected, and then allowed to pass even if not legally allowed to pass. Official Talstadt vessels are currently being "overlooked" if the State has been informed of their presence by the Talstadt government.

"of course the methods were much different in ryazania proper. we were dealing with anarchy not facism. we were able to set up our information network rather more easily, it was a relief to see that the Kallisti Group had spread throughout selling these people their own kidneys while they tipped pure blood strippers. it was disturbing when i first arrived in Liang, the city i had visited as a child was a shadow of its former self, this which was once the playground of CEOs and other capitalist giants was now a gangland.after observing for two days we decided that we were going to infiltratevarious criminal organizations. of course thats a bad name for them in a lawless land as nothing is then a crime. lucky me though i got stuck with checking out the human sales section of this underworld paradise. lucky for me i ran into this Kallisti chick i knew from back in the day. i told her i came here to experience freedom and that if she could hook me up in the with some prostitutes i would pay her twoo hundred Kay marks. of course with the greed inherent in their stock it wasa fair enough offer. she took me down to this place that i was pretty sure was once a sport stadium. it was in terrible disrepair but what was going on inside was even more cracked and befouled than even the exterior could match. inside was like an open air market if it were part of somescumbags wet dream. there were exotic animals being forced to fight for bets. guns and people being sold for rather cheap prices. various drugs being sold by my guides brethren. she led me to what looked to be a stable filled with rather pretty women. it made me glad to have been born where such things are illegal, but even as my thoughts were against it, it was in character for me to be surprised and pleased by this. i bought five rather pretty whores for two cartons of cigarettes and a pair of handguns.next i went to one of the Kallisti drug dealers and bought roughly one pound of marijuana for less than fifty Kay marks, back home i was lucky to get a quarter for that price. i then went to an arms dealer and traded him the pound of grass for an assortment of weapons and a personalized brand for each of my whores, it became clear who they belonged to. i then went back to those Kallisti bastards and rented an old apartment building from them for a thousand Kay marks. two hundred of that went to personal protection, appearently no one fucked with the Kallisti in this section of the city but if i went out of their borders then i would be on my own. i stayed well within my bounderies, even got used to seeing young girls raped in broad daylight. it was a nice part of town you know, besides the rest of the city was someone elses problem...."
-Captain Mya Jade commenting on her stay in Ryazania during Operation Ryazanian Recon-
OOC: sorry myro, your post is being ignored. these people are highly trained to blend in with whatever culture they are ment to embody. thus your operatives (how the hell would they travel so fast anyhow through a blockade of all things) wouldn't have found that out. this is also a closed RP for the moment so if you wouldn't mind removing your post. and yours as well nathaniel. thanks. and don't worry you will all be included once the propaganda and battles start. anyhow....
IC:
Southern Ryazania from the perspective of a Ghost Trooper captured in a letter written to the prime minister when arriving back to Uichi Ryu some months later.
Alias: Honz Decatur
well myself and the boys went and joined up with the free mans army of course with my looking like a Dassi bastard i was accepted a bit quicker than a few of the boys who had a more pure eastian look. it was quite rediculous what they considered training in the free mans army, i was pushed harder by my grandmother to slice a loaf of bread. i believe even our high school students would be more than a match for the majority of these troops. i'll give them one thing though, the bastards were mean as hell. of course for me an' the boys it were an easy task compared to some o' the shit we've seen. anyhow prime minister what i am trying to say is that it was easy for me to gain a mid level rank with my superior training and pure blood with a few lies and well placed bribes, all so easy childs play realy. they didn't realize most of us were proper born until Grimm fucked up and let slip one night while drinking. needless to say we killed him quickly but the cat was out of the bag and they began realy scrutinizing alot of us, lucky for me i guess that i look like a Dassi, cause they didn search me at all. a good three hundred of us though were imprisoned. it did my heart good to know most of them boys got out and got home but some were not so lucky, i had the displeasure of being ordered to shoot one o' me own boys. made it clean though sir. he understood i am sure, i would have supported it if our roles had been reversed. i just hope the information i sent home helped out sir, too many good men died for it....
the letter is torn here.

Ryazania Proper perspective given by a member of the Kallisti Group in Liang
"well at first it was sort of promising seeing some people with some right proper money come into town. it was nice to see that some of our own blood giving up the xenophobia game and striving for some more freedom than our motherland could give.of course it was interesting to see the sorts of fun activities they were getting themselves mixed up in. i personaly helped set up a few of their operations. the girl who started setting herself up with the cities most prime whorehouse was a fun one, i remember her from back home, she was always so patriotic but i could tell even back then that she craved a level of fun that Black wasn't going to allow. funny to run into her again and to set her up as a madame of her own brothel, even more fun to find out the way she beats those women when they aren't working a customer. then there was ....whats his name..... uhmm i think it started with a d ..... no no thats not it..... oh yea! Jonas. yea so Jonus wanted to be a real bad ass sort of macho king of gangland. not hard to start someone on especialy when they are ex-military. i got him the guns and the names and the real estate to get him going fine on his own. never thought he would be as successful as he was, got all the native Eatians together and formed this gang called the "Rising Pheonix Clan" or some such thing. they were brutal but due to arrangements with us we were never attacked by them but oh boy i felt bad for some of those who were, i suppose they did some good though even set up a safe neighborhood where little kids could play without fear, purely Eastian blood though so not exactly a huge neighborhood. it was cool to see that this Jonus cat and little miss whorehouse were appearently old friends and started shacking up together from time to time. of course it helped that his bloody boys liked the style of tramp she kept there. yep seemed like everywhere you looked new enterprises were coming in and all of them headed by my old countrymen, funny isn't it? never thought we would have such pull, it was a good time for us Kallisti broads. but as with all good things the prosperity had to end at some point. i think they may have stepped on too many toes but hey it was interesting to reap profits off the warring between one half of Liang and the other half. lots of guns were moving and ammo was being bought by the crateload...."
This entire war disgusts me, we're only doing it to finally create our dream. I hope you see why I want trackers dropped, and NS stats, real battles should only occur on the platoon-company level at 10-1,000 men, not RP on the front level with millions of men moving. I promise to never do this again in the next RP.
We will be flying all surviving Loyalists to Terrangar. We hope that in the future these Eastians may once more be able to return to their homeland. We will remain the refugee home for millions of displaced Saletsians and UFM citizens. We are currently unable to transfer these people, as we are evacuating all major south-eastern Xyraelite population centers for fear of fallout.
We have begun a project to commence with a mass exodus from Xyrael, in fear of nuclear strike. We have asked the peoples of our nation not drafted in the army and unable to work in factories to take residence away from city locations. This is to reduce the effect of civilian casualties. We fear that these precautions may create a ground upon which plague can form, and we ask that Terrangar spare 90 of it's finest doctors to ensure that refugee camps forming throughout Xyrael do not become affected by this. We are unwilling to disarm Xyraelites in these camps who have purchased arms, and would frown upon such action by a non-government organization or foreign government. We find that these refugee militia's may be Xyrael's last line of defense should the military be mobilized abroad to it's fullest extent.
Due to the stresses of war, our economy is beginning to falter. Already massive inflation has brought the value of the Xyraeli Credit to a low that has not been seen in forty years. We find ourselves barely able to pay the military, and are allying with the Xyraelite Priesthood, which has declared a Jihad to Unify the Easteros Continent. We find that our soldiers are unwilling at best to betray both State and Light, and we will not be transferring wounded off of the front lines unless they wish it. We expect that, should the Priesthood fail, the entire Eastian continent's economy will be damaged by massive poverty. Therefore, we must not fail.
To: Feniexia
If you want to regulate the way war is fought, and the civilian death toll, please do so by making a Conference on Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical weapons and their uses during war, as well as a convention on civilian treatment during war time. Currently Ryazanian civilians have persistently conspired with terrorists, fired weapons upon our soldiers, and we have returned fire to defend ourselves. If this is wrong, sue us. Furthermore, I would ask that instead of threatening the Triple Eastian Alliance with use of force to force us to backdown, you instead offer to assist us in humanitarian relief efforts. Far more are dying in the region to our south, and yet I fail to see Feniexia offering doctors to relieve the stresses that hundreds of millions of people are now facing. If you want to play humanitarian watchdog, try assisting Terrangar humanitarian efforts instead of escalating our war. We will talk with Uichi Ryu about their war time policies concerning Ryazania, we understand their people are highly racist towards the Ryazanians, but we will ask them to limit the force they use on innocent civilians.
Xyraeli forces used the territory they had acquired in south Ryazania to push north against the Ryazanian flank. The move, combined with a full frontal attack by State forces, forced the Southern Ryazanian line to break. Reinforcements were transferred from the Ryazanian northern front to support the southern flank, but Uichi Ryans pressed the attack as orders were being issued. The Ryazanians faltered, the troops being forced back to their secondary defenses. State Military personnel, realizing the fervor of their northern brothers, issued a statement to Ryazanian civilians, directing them to State front lines should they wish to flee their nation. The State was constructing a massive ethnic area for them to be housed by the air ports, it's completion date was unsure of. Meanwhile, Xyraeli air forces were effectively annihilating Ryazanian anti-air by jamming radar and destroying radar sites, then destroying SAM sites. This meant that almost the entirety of Ryazanian air was controlled by the State Gripens, which relentlessly attacked resupply convoys headed to the front lines. Meanwhile, a new insurrection east of Xyraeli-claimed Southern Ryazania was sparking conflict with Xyraeli State forces. Civilians were taking up arms to fight against the State, just as the State had reported.
