Kensington nodded, "I do believe that's it for our questions. Naturally, when it comes to Joint Military Facilities command should be under an officer of the hosting nation; this is the arrangement which we see at Joint Military Facility Hoshiko."

"Any further questions?" he said as he looked to his colleagues.

"If these answers are suitable, and no one wishes to follow up, let us vote."

"The First Empire of Rokkenjima votes to approve CSTO membership of the Holy Empire of Achkaerin."

Quote from: Joint Military Facility Expansion Proposal
Proposed:

That the Cross-Straits Treaty Organization establish a Joint Military Facility at Northpoint, Floodwater IAR, Kingdom of Tytor; this facility will become Joint Military Facility Northpoint (JMF Northpoint).

That the Cross-Straits Treaty Organization establish a Strategic Auxiliary Command at a point to be determined (OOC: outside Aquilae, Decapolis - exact location is classified) in the Kingdom of Tytor; this facility will become Strategic Auxiliary Command Crystal Palace (SAC Crystal Palace).

Ambassador Virginia Cox circulated the proposal among the CSTO's delegates.  "The Kingdom of Tytor has a desire to expand its participation in this alliance," she said, "We have existing facilities at Northpoint which we can easily adapt into a Joint Military Facility.  Our proposal for a Strategic Auxiliary Command in Tytor arises from a concern that the CSTO as constituted is overly centralized; a successful surprise attack here at the CSTO's headquarters would effectively decapitate the alliance's ability to coordinate through official channels.  Crystal Palace would effectively serve as a backup headquarters, staffed by officers from all CSTO members and with full access to ICON and other joint CSTO programs.  Tytor is willing to handle the costs of construction for both facilities.  Any questions?  Objections?"

"Having reviewed this proposal, I can safely say that the Empire of Ikhan has no objections to the matter at hand." The Ikhani ambassador to the organization, Israi Khotos, said in response to his Tytorian counterpart.

"Achkaerin has no objections to either proposal as it stands." Isabella Watson said "However Achkaerin would as we're talking about a fail safe scenario here, as a further back up or asset should it become necessary offer to station at both our main headquarters and the future SAC in Tytor a Night Owl aircraft which can provide a mobile base if we do need to evacuate or relocate this body. We'd also station an appropriate escort if it is agreeable."

"No objections here," Mr. Kensington added. "Rokkenjima will continue to maintain JMF Hoshiko which we propose allows for our partners further afield, such as Achkaerin, to station forces and allow for a quick build-up and forwarding capacity to other JMFs in the Kyne region and the SAC."

"If there are no objections, then I move that we put this to a vote," Cox said.

"The Kingdom of Tytor votes in favor of the proposal."

OOC note 1: Novincia will vote in favor as well.
OOC note 2: As the site for SAC Crystal Palace (which I envision as something similar to NORAD's Cheyenne Mountain Complex) will be underground, there may not be an easily-accessible airstrip at its location for a Night Owl.  However, Tytor will be happy to host one anyway for the purposes Watson laid out, whether that means a special airstrip is built for the Crystal Palace site or the aircraft is placed at a pre-existing airstrip connected with Crystal Palace by helicopter.

"Achkaerin votes in favour of the proposal"

OOC Note: That gives a majority so the motion will pass.


Isabella looked around the room and sighed "I am tasked with delivering information of the type that I don't relish. The situation in Parbhani stands at a delicate point. We have a ceasefire having been declared and swiftly followed by an ultimatum with terms that are in the opinion of Achkaerin completely unreasonable. Considering the incident of the bombing of the Parbhani temple it is the fear of the Achkaerinese government that given the reality that Topri will lose this conflict should the Parbhani offensive resume that Topri or Topri forces will act in the same vain as they did in the temple bombing, as such it was felt appropriate to deploy military assets into the area, we assure our Tytorian friend that the deployment will not violate the agreement concerning Izhitsa, we simply want to be able to prevent a situation from spilling out of control because one side has nothing left to lose. We have no intention of involving ourselves in any fighting unless we get to that point."

"Given the delicate nature of the situation and the paths we've seen such situations take in the past the First Empire feels that it would be appropriate that all parties involved know that the eyes of the international community are actively watching. I would thus propose to our Achkaerinese allies that two vessels from QCMB, a destroyer and perhaps a frigate. In addition, our submarines operating in Northern Pod Alpha, will be operating in waters closer to this developing situation. Their presence will not be revealed beyond the confines of this room."

OOC - changing the subject


"I'd like to raise the matter of events in Lodja over the last few hours." Isabella said looking around the table "As we all know this isn't the sort of thing that's new to anyone here, Mundus's history is littered with attempted power grabs such as this. At this point Achkaerin interprets what has happened as a revenge vendetta and his proposed reforms as a thinly veiled attempt to gain power. We also note that Queen Klara has made great strides in the 'leveling up' of the plebian and patrician playing field and finally we note as this time the lack of support evident among the Lodjan people for Leopold's actions. The abductions of six Conclave members and Prince Isaak are not acceptable, the violence is not acceptable,

Ultimately Queen Klara is the Head of State of Lodja, so any calls for referendums are not in the gift of Leopold or whatever 'provincial government' he may announce, it is down to the Queen and the Conclave and with six out of the ten Conclave members currently being held hostage there would be significant questions raised around the legislative process in respect of legislation.

In addition there is in the Achkaerinese opinion sufficient evidence to designate the HDMS Morelander as a pirate vessel as per Article 101 of the Fair Seas Concordat. Therefore the following resolution is presented at this point in time:"

Quote from: Resolution in respect of attempted Lodja coup

1. The CSTO condemns the actions perpetrated by King Leopold and calls for the immediate release of the hostages taken.

2. CSTO shall inform their respective naval and air patrols that the HDMS Morelander is to be regarded as a pirate, if sighted the HDMS Morelander is to be reported and monitored, further action to then be taken as required.

3. Contents of point two to be communicated to the CNN.


"In addition to this I would like to notify the CSTO that the INS Kyogre has been dispatched to the area, this is in accordance with Achkaerinese contingencies should it become necessary to extract Prince Jack Azurewind presently studying in Lodja, our ambassador to Lodja Lady Emalet Silvermist and other embassy staff and citizens. We do not at this time intend to evacuate as we believe that would send the wrong message. We are prepared to expand the scope of the Kyogre's orders to include the rest of the CSTO membership's citizens should it become needed."

"This mess was certainly unexpected. Certainly Lodja's CNN allies have already put plans into motion regarding these developments and while we must consider revenge as a motive we should consider some fact-finding operations to see the depths of what is transpiring. There's little doubt as to the strides Queen Klara has made, however, I'm sure we can all see where these developments may lead. If not sparking a discourse in the general public within Lodja it is certain to excite those on the fringes of Lodjan society; indeed, the reverberations of Leopold's actions may be felt for quite some time to come even in the most likely eventuality of Queen Klara's triumph. As I'm certain you've seen a certain someone has spoken on the matter, with some in Pyrettania giving reverence to her words and seeking to see a Rokkenjiman response which would grant Leopold the benefit of the doubt. A fact-finding mission should be enough to satisfy their curiosities while preventing defection from direction which comes from Pyrena Castle."

"With that being said the Imperial Rokkenjiman Navy has updated Pods in the area as to these recent developments whilst dispatching a task force centred around IRN Alexander Vaughn to the area topside. With such a vessel in his hands we must consider every possible scenario."

"The Kingdom of Tytor agrees with the contents of the proposed resolution, and we will be happy to support it.  While we will not be deploying ships to the area, as those being sent by Rokkenjima and Achkaerin are no doubt sufficient, in the aftermath of the atrocious attack on East Moreland's embassy the Tytorian government will be opening its own embassy to any allies of the legitimate government of Queen Klara.  I suggest that the CSTO offer the full support of any assets we have in the region, along with any embassy staff or security personnel who may be of assistance, to the Lodjain government as they put down these conspirators who have shown such little regard for either diplomatic immunity and ambassadorial neutrality.  I expect the prime minister's office will be releasing a statement shortly in association with the sentiments I have just laid out."

"It is important, in the eyes of the Imperial Government of the Heavenly Sovereign, that we inform our allies that His Lordship, King Maximus Deyra of Heyra, as well as his family, have left their estate on the island of Rusan and are believed to have travelled to Jiayuan. While normally, this would not be viewed as an issue, in light of recent events as well as the... unique situation that House Deyra finds itself in, not to mention historical precedent, we have reason to suspect, though not enough evidence at this time to prove, that these events are related. As a result, it is our belief that we should monitor this situation more closely than we would have otherwise. Already, we are investigating any and all leads available to us in order to determine what path should bed taken, should the need arise."

"The Imperial Rokkenjiman Navy has initiated Operation: Typhoon in the north eastern Sea of Kyne composed of two task forces: Tomahawk and Citadel. Our purpose is simple, to deny the Iwi from further operations at sea which violate the Fair Seas Concordat and to make clear to them that not only will our shipping be defended, but that of states not aligned to the Cross-Straits Community. The IRN hopes to see contributions and cooperation from our allies."

"It is my understanding that the Iwi's operations have, in the past, been concentrated on Royal Seleucid targets," Cox remarked, "Based on present intelligence, how likely are additional such operations at the moment?  Assuming, of course, that Operation Poker Face doesn't dissuade the Iwi."

"This would be correct. Unfortunately I can't determine how likely additional operations could be at the moment: the Iwi refusing to disavow such tactics means there's always a chance of them occurring. With Operation Typhoon perhaps we could see vastly reduced odds."

"The issue remains circumstances, the Iwi are deeply motivated to bring these war criminals and there's nothing wrong with that and no one's going to say they don't have a right to pursue that." Isabella said "What is concerning is the lengths the Iwi are prepared to go to - methods which in practically any court outside of the Iwi would see the case more likely than not thrown out. Rokkenjima's course of action is undoubtedly well intended however the effectiveness of it will be hard to gauge due to the variable in this instance being the location of specific people who are trying to stay hidden. Also the action, while prompted by the Iwi, must be broad if the task forces see for example a Marseilles flagged ship violating the Fair Seas Concordat they must enforce it there as well, lest an undesired double standard be created."

"Naturally no one is saying that bringing war criminals to justice is wrong, however, we all recognize that cannot be done through illegal actions as well. We believe that maintaining a persistent presence in the Kyne, the area most likely to see Iwi violations of the Fair Seas Concordat, should hopefully send a message to the Iwi that they're being watched and that further violations of the FSC will not be tolerated. Likewise, should we observe violations of the Concordat by other states we'll naturally react. We all remember the Seleucid theft of an Iwi gas tanker and while not signatories to the Concordat I'd like to think any of us here wouldn't have sat by idly if we had assets in the region."

"On another matter the Imperial Space and Exploration Agency, in partnership with the Imperial Rokkenjiman Armed Forces, has been maintaining the space station formerly owned by the Warsaw Pact. This station was turned over to the First Empire by Thomradia. Upon taking ownership of the station we could see where the Soviets were attempting to build a platform of war in space, which was the primary reason for Thomradia to turn it over to us in the first place. Maintenance has been performed and our Armed Forces have been reviewing items retrieved from the space station of a military nature for the past several years. With those items having been removed and housed here on Mundus we're now at a point in determining what we wish to do with the station: Rokkenjima has Space Station Adora and does not wish to maintain two stations going into the future."

Ambassador Cox stood to introduce Prime Minister Thatcher, recently arrived from Tytor.

"Delegates," Thatcher said to the assembled representatives, "I come to you today having been directed by the Tytorian Parliament to request that the CSTO jointly intervene in the crisis in Centralia.  Most if not all of you already know the nature of the calamity which has befallen Centralia, though I will be happy to answer any questions you have to the best of my present understanding.  Due to the fast-moving nature of the civil war, I have already ordered the deployment of elements of the Tytorian Royal Navy to the vicinity, to await orders once this body has reached a decision as to how best to proceed.  I need not say that time is of the essence here.  Let us not delay."

Jason Cole, Imperial Diplomatic Liaison, nodded. "What do we know for certain as to what is transpiring? The Imperial Rokkenjiman Navy has begun to position assets in the region in response to the situation, and I've word from Empress Evanthe that whatever is required from our Tytorian allies has her full and unequivocal endorsement. Thus as far as any decisions or discussions here are concerned, I speak with the full authority of the Empress."

"The Royal Intelligence Service believes that the FMN report was largely accurate," Thatcher said, "However, there is reason to believe that the Lord's Resistance Army may not be the only rebel group.  Due to the Centralian government's studied insistence on remaining tight-lipped about its internal issues, most of our information has come from aerial and satellite surveillance, both of which Tytor has maintained in regards to Centralia since the Patriot Party regime first took power in 1999.  Based on our observations, the LRA seems to have the bulk of its power centered on the country's north and west, with a particular focus in and around the state of New Jordan.  However, an apparently unrelated group appears to be fighting separately in the south, especially in the state of Mazeltovia.  Due to the fact that we don't have resources in the country, our picture of the situation on the ground is similarly limited, but the LRA at the very least seems to have ties to Rapture, the group that perpetrated the 11/11 attacks against Tytor.  As such, I suspect we can expect little good from the LRA."

"Leaving things off on an understatement," Cole replied solemnly. "Have we any idea of where the military is in all of this, where loyalties are, et cetera? Determining such things could be useful and grant some further insight into the situation, and as I understand at least one Rokkenjiman Captain seems to have a personal relationship with a counterpart in the Centralian Navy. Establishing some manner of contact could prove useful."

Isabella Watson let out a deep breath and shifted a little in her seat these were the types of meetings she hated, she could remember vividly the CIS meetings where decisions to intervene in Safraen, Seaforth and Revana had been taken no one ever took the decision for military action lightly and that meant never taking such a decision uninformed. Listening to first the Prime Minister and then to Cole had her alarm bells ringing.

"No intelligence from in country suggests a quite significant gap in contextual understanding of what is happening, who the factions are and what they want. You're also unless I'm mistaken appearing to put the cart before the horse, I've not heard of any contact with the Centralian Government so the first they knew of any deployments into their region were news reports, this I find disturbing - not because it appears Centralia weren't told but because two members of this organisation have decided to throw away the element of surprise and put Centralia's military on notice before this body was consulted, we now have two fleets heading to Centralia on an operation the nature of which hasn't been determined that isn't sensible, we needed a clear vision of what we're trying to do before any announcements were made, whether that be supporting the government or in fact resolving the crisis with the elimination of terrorist threat and removal of the government. Yes the pre-positioning of assets is important in such crises but we don't know if such assets are the right tool for the job without a plan."

Isabella took another breath "Don't shoot the messenger but that's what I've been asked to point out by Valtheim. First things first we need intelligence resources in country  and we need to decide what the end goal is."

(OOC: Response to Admiral Cole)

"Unfortunately, no, our knowledge of military loyalties is fairly limited," Thatcher said, "Especially in regards to how that affects the apparent provenance of a second rebel group.  That said, however, I think we can be reasonably certain that the bulk remains at least nominally loyal to New Providence."



(OOC: Response to Ambassador Watson)

Thatcher grimaced bitterly.  "And there, you've nailed my predicament right on the head," she said, "The 'element of surprise', as you put it, was lost the moment certain members of the Tytorian Parliament decided to play political games with another country's civil war.  To put it bluntly, my hand was forced.  That said, there's not much my government could have done in regards to communicating with Centralia.  See, the Patriot Party regime has been firmly anti-Tytor since it first took power, and they expelled our ambassador back in 2002, though we've maintained the embassy since for the benefit of Tytorian expatriates.  Our last formal communication with the Centralian government was an official notice in 2006 that the country was shutting down its embassy in Tsargrad, and they have routinely ignored attempts by the Tytorian government to reach out to them ever since."  She sighed wearily.  "In short, I'm not sure there's all that much we can do at this point, beyond maybe establishing a no-fly zone, but again, we don't have sufficient intel to determine who would be affected.  Certainly a full-scale military intervention ought to remain off the table until we actually know more about what we would be getting into."
