In Yahupi territory, the merchants start to plan to incite a mass slave rebellion, having seen the conditions here.

The merchants in Federation territory eagerly examine the gems closely with an eyepiece, keen to make sure that these are useful, before accepting them. They deal out the machinery in return. "It was nice doing business with you," the lead merchant said, before the batch of them start returning to the ship.

All drones in Yahupi and Trogo territory continue to observe their respective areas, hoping to find their strengths and weaknesses as well as other quirks.

@Nucleep

The Federation people nod. "It was nice doing business with you in return." the officer said to them as the returned to their ship. Some of the people went back to their daily routines and departed.

The warden that is in their area seems to be female, with long black hair and a somewhat muscular build. She rides on a medium sized horse, inspecting the slaves every few minutes and whipping those who aren't doing their jobs to her standards which are very high. From the looks of it, many people here seem to be somewhat new to the place though others have been here for years, as based on all the scars and whip marks on their sunburnt backs. There isn't really any tools or weapons these slaves could use that would be useful for a rebellion, and that's on purpose too probably. The merchant's group is split apart and they are sent to different, but equally horrible conditions of working across the large field of plants and fruit trees they are forced to pick and put the fruits into small baskets and such.

The Yahupi seem to be strong in terms of defense and numbers though their inferior technology is a main weakness in their forces. The warriors are skilled in melee combat and guerrilla warfare but not in traditional battles on open fields / modern style battles.

Ashnah enters the forcefield, a thick red fog covers the area, being about a foot higher than her height. It is covering the equally red ground, but she can see tiny specks of blue sprouting up from the ground. Could the specks be plants?

In the distance, a large white object stretches to the top of the dark green sky, surrounded by other white objects.

@Uncle Spanky

Ashnah floats up above the fog easily. She doesn't even need to use her wings, perhaps those are for a cosmetic effect or something. She started to head towards the large white object. Interested in what that might be.

<Snipped quote by Aceofreality>

"Intriguing. The history of Veilletes people were very old and civilized before your small band of nations consolidate into a republic. We're once an enlightened, conqueror of the northern, and a philosophical kingdom in the times of a late medieval period." said Darston about an old history of their people.

"You're probably noticing that our people were wildly different from person to person as because we're randomly expanding our borders while taking several indigenous tribesmen, localized nations and kingdoms along the way. Some of them aren't truly human by the way due to the tolerable policy conducted by the past emperor during his reign of the Militarian-Veilletes Empire, despite he was a atrocious warmonger by many eyes of the foreign nations." explained by Darston.

At the contested strait of Yahupi Confederacy, the VNMS Trionator and its escorts have started to engage against the Yahupi Fleet. The VNMS Trionator after receiving shrapnel attacks at the beginning of the battle has return with a devastating barrage against the Yahupi Heavy Battleships. Although not really the Veilletes greatest counter-fire of any world's naval history, the Trionator has managed to cause a single magazine explosion at the unlucky wooden Yahupi Heavy Battleship by penetrating through their ammo storage, tearing their ship in half, and thus leaving itself a smothering ruin echoing the remains in battle. The VNMS Trionator's escorts have started its match against other nearby Yahupi ships by an order of its ship class. Light cruisers presses on the Yahupi Heavy Battleships while deterring any cannon boats nearby, and the Veilletes destroyers will go face to face against the Yahupi cannon boats while deploying torpedoes at the Yahupi Heavy Battleships if they're getting close to it.

@CmdrAlfieq

They wrote down some notes on what Darston had explained. "Very interesting!" one of the people sitting at the table said and they were all impressed by what he had explained also. "Some of the people here are different aswell, because we were once a small group of nations and some indigenous civilized tribes. Though our differences no longer matter as we are united against a common foe and united in a common language and customs." the commander said.

_

A few of the smaller cannon boats were taken out and they sunk in smoldering ruins. Some of their people jumped off and starting swimming to shore though 2 more of the Yahupi battleships remained as some of the others were taken out. Though a few other cannonboats and 1 more battleship joined in the area and started firing upon the VNMS Trionator and it's escorts. The firefight continued and the Yahupi would not stop until every last man fought to the death or turned to side with the VNMS Trionator. One of the small cannon boats stops firing and the crew onboard that particular ship surrender though the others continue firing exploding cannonballs and musketfire.

The Yahupi have started distributing some of the weapons they had found in the Shupoli airships (Plasma Weapons) to where the main battles are occurring with the Veilletes Republic and the Federation. The Federation had did much the same thing as they started to do raids on coastal towns of nearby Yahupi islands and forces stationed there.

The Yahupi find a lot of buttons, levers, knobs, dials and touchscreens on the bridge of the ship, as well as a large joystick prominently placed in the center, and two keyholes, with a mollyguard on top of them, on each side of the ship (with the keys coincidentally hanging nearby). It also seems to be powered by coal.

In Federation territory:
"Hmm, could we inspect these precious stones by any chance?" the lead merchant asks. "They may be of value..."
The various merchants grin with delight at the coins. While the coins in themselves have no value to the merchants, there is plenty of gold in the coins that could be turned into useful wire, among other contraptions.
Meanwhile, the robots stop loading goods out of the ship, whether it is because they were ordered to stop or there are no goods left to deliver is impossible to tell.

<Snipped quote by Aceofreality>
The various merchants keep their silence, some even spitting in the man's face and calling them unintelligible slurs. The lead merchant softly but sternly replies, "I think I speak for our whole delegation when I say we will not kowtow to you barbarians."

<Well, it seems like they have dealt with the situation for me. How... primitive. Oh well, one less thing to worry about.>
The figures go back to dealing to the day-to-day workings of the colony. Several fly-sized and invisible drones are sent to the Trogo and Yahupi lands, to observe their every movement.

@Nucleep

The man facing those merchants orders the guards to remove their clothes and that they will be enslaved. The guards remove these merchant's clothes and all of their possessions and apply a few restraints to them. These merchants are taken outside, where they can clearly see some other slaves being moved about the streets of whatever town they are in. A horse and buggy sort of vehicle comes up to them and these merchants are loaded into it while the guards take position towards the back of it.

The vehicle is long, almost as long as a school bus and there are 2 benches on either side where other slaves are sitting. The Vehicle is fully open to the air to humiliate the slaves who are riding. 6 guards stood up at attention, ready to beat any slave who talked back. The merchants are forced to sit down on the benches while they are restrained to the vehicle itself. With a crack of a whip the buggy rides off through the town and picks up a few other slaves where an hour or 2 later it ends up with them all being unloaded to a plantation where they are forced to work the long hours in the hot sun under whip and guard's watch. They are also completely naked. Humiliation of slaves is a thing here. They also heard a few gunshots and screams as a few slaves were executed. A warden came by and whipped them all and yelled at them angrily to work on picking the grapes from bushes and apples from trees and such faster than they are doing. The merchants are slaves now, pretty much...

Meanwhile the other Yahupi continue attempting to move these airships while a few others try to get this thing flying, carefully. The drones pick up that the Yahupi are involved in a war against the Federation and they are a brutal slave holding barbaric society with a sun god based religion with strict laws and order. These people don't seem to be too advanced either, maybe 1780's tech at best.

_

In the Federation of the delegate nods and looks to 3 others who run off and come back with 2 chests from a nearby bank. They open these chests up and inside are several precious gems mixed in with a few gold coins and other such valuable items.

<Snipped quote by Aceofreality>

"Will likely to work but one thing, cultural exchanges will created a little tension if both nations doesn't have something in common to infused and required to look over the ancestry past for any nation similarities beforehand." said Darston.

The return of VNMS Trionator Battleship Class

The Colonial Government of the Veilletes has instructed the captain to raid a coastal town of Yahupi Island next to their occupied island under Veilletes Control. This time, the VNMS Trionator now has an escort consisted of 2 light cruisers and 3 destroyers heading for bombarding mission.

The whole chunk of first's Yahupi island was now crumbled to the Veilletes influence.

@CmdrAlfieq

"Alright, that makes sense." the commander replied. Another man shown Darston a paper detailing some things about the Federation. It seems they were a group of civilized small nations and some tribes who united under a system of a democratic republic of sorts to fend off an invasion of the Yahupi barbarians to the south. They are of a similar ethnic group and peoples, though it isn't the exact same.

Meanwhile the raid on the next island was met with 4 cannon boats and 3 other heavy Yahupi battleships which began firing cannonballs and musket fire at them. Though this time there is something different in their arsenal, the cannonballs explode on impact with sharpnel flying all over the place aswell as causing fires. These ships were made out strong, sturdy wood and powered by steam, though they still had sails.

_

Meanwhile after having some fun with people in local tribes and such, the entity known as Ashnah starts to head off in the direction of the Martian Colony though along the way she manipulates some weather carelessly to make it snow and lightning occasionally on her way there. Unaffected by the temperature changes.

"I think those gold chests are perfect. You can have these plasma guns in return for those," a merchant replied, as a wheeled robot brought a few crates of plasma weapons to the group. "As for the machinery, what are these many other things you tell us about?"

<Snipped quote by Aceofreality>
They eventually get to the bridge and quarters, as these are merchant ships, not military.

@Nucleep

The group took hold of these plasma guns and looked at them for a bit, while the other man looked at the merchant. "We have more of these gold chests, this is our currency though we also have other precious stones we could give in return for the machinery.

The Yahupi try to figure out how this ship works and they look at everything, meanwhile a few soldiers attach ropes and chains to the ship and have horses, yaks, and other soldiers try to drag these ships to a more secure location.

World of Nations - A freestyle Nation RP

<Snipped quote by Aceofreality>
The Yahupi find what the Trogo soldiers did: a bunch of goods, such as rare metals and precious gems, as well as a mess hall, several crew quarters, restrooms, kitchens, and large but deactivated cannons. The bridge and captain's quarters are, once again, locked.
<Snipped quote by Aceofreality>
"We'd like to see evidence," the lead merchant softly demanded.
As he snapped his fingers, non-humanoid robots started delivering several of the packages onto the floor before the delegation.
"This is all on sale, by the way," he quickly added.

@Nucleep

The Yahupi confiscate these goods and they take everything of value or interest from these airships. A few other soldiers proceed to start cutting down the doors to the bridge and the captain's quarters with handsaws aswell as they try to kick these doors down.

Meanwhile that man demands the Shupoli merchants to describe to him how the airships operate, he writes down whatever they say on a piece of paper.

_

One of the officers nodded and looked to 2 other soldiers. "Bring some things here." he said to them. A few minutes later they returned with some chests of gold coins, some muskets, and some important items. "We would like to buy weaponry, preferably more advanced weaponry to fight against the barbarians of the Yahupi to the south. Aswell as we would like to buy advanced machinery to improve our country. We have many more things to offer you." he said.

"Hmm.. Maybe expanding the literacy of school's curriculum by first introducing and promoting the engineering, politics and business courses.", suggested by Darston.

"The Federation do need a way to increase its economy and currently your people were working in a most crudest way possible of production. Lowest form of industrialism will not going to get us far, and will drive the foreign investors to seek somewhere more efficient. Hence, by expanding a few more branches of engineering courses on certain industries, not only it will improve the production quality and the speed of manufacturing, but also enable your people to use Veilletes manufacturing equipment imported from the Republic. It is also reducing the requirements of importing foreign workers in order to use the most advanced equipment.", Taught by Darston about the Engineering course implement.

"Second to tackle for amending new courses will be the politics. Few of your people will needed to acknowledge of drafting new rules, the power of leadership, and the administration of your land. The Federation do need few more 'people behold's key of power' to focus their specific roles on controlling certain areas properly and the introduction of judicial system for people to trial their innocence", told by Dartson about the Politic course.

"Lastly, the business course will teach the pupils to learn how to manage their businesses and also reducing the problem of desertion and bankruptcy within the first few months or so." said by Dartson about the Business course.

----------------------

The occupied island was currently building up their infrastructures and the Veilletes military forces are preparing for another invasion route to the second Yahupi strait island.

@CmdrAlfieq

He nodded in agreement with this. "That sounds like a good suggestion as we need a way to improve our production and technology level. Alright." he said and started writing down some notes. "Maybe some form of free travel between our nations to allow the spread of ideas and cultural exchange could also help with this idea?" the man suggested while a few others wrote down some notes, and the commander took a sip of water.

_

The Federation meanwhile has expanded to allocate more resources for the war effort against the Yahupi Confederacy while they have begun invading 2 Yahpui islands of Verafoda and Laxa. The warriors stationed there fight fiercely against the invading Federation forces, but some slaves and subjugated local peoples defect to the Federation's ranks.

Meanwhile the Yahpui Confederacy has expanded, but not by much because their resources are stretched rather thin they cannot expand much. The government generals and the leader and many sacred artifacts are evacuated to the far southern territories because the invading forces have made substantial advancements and they do not want to be captured. The capital of Brebas was more or less evacuated, and the city of Lapoz in the south has become the new capital.

The Yahupi begin to be even more extreme in their tactics, brutal dirty and underhanded. Using whatever they can find to use to their advantage.

<Snipped quote by Aceofreality>
The pilot tries to protest, but the two guards convince him otherwise. The crew begrudgingly lets the guards escort them.

In Federation territory:
"Why, we have precious gems and rare metals, as well as technology beyond you can believe! Ok, if you don't want to come in, we'll bring our goods to you! But what do you have to offer in return?"

@Nucleep

The Yahupi take them into a room and the merchants are seated down. A man looks at them. "Who are you and where are you from?" he asks as the 2 guards take up position behind the man. The man looks very strong, and he looks like a mix of a mongol and native american. He is a skilled warrior. Meanwhile, the airships are boarded and searched by a squad of Yahupi warriors.
_

"We have...some minerals and precious artifacts which may be of want to you. We would prefer to see them brought out to us if you don't mind." the delegate said. A man in a suit took some notes on what was going on here.

World of Nations - A freestyle Nation RP

<Snipped quote by Aceofreality>
In Yahupi lands, the lead merchant apologizes profusely. "I'm so terribly sorry. We are new here and do not know the customs of your lands. But we have so much to offer..."

In the Federation, the merchant, visibly relieved, invites the various delegates into the ship's cargo hold. "Would you mind if I give a tour?" he asks, gesturing politely towards the ship to let the officer through.

@Nucleep

The Yahupi leader of this group snorted slightly. "Step aside from the craft, and my 2 guards will escort you to another location." he said, and 2 guards walked up to them, ready to take them...somewhere else...

_

The delegates agree to this tour however some of them are a little cautious to go inside an unknown craft like this. "What sort of stuff do you have?" one of them asked.

World of Nations - A freestyle Nation RP

<Snipped quote by Apple>

<Snipped quote by Aceofreality>

In all three cases, a ramp is lowered from the side of the ship. From inside, a number of merchants walk out, unarmed (hands behind their heads in App's case), and a little bit confused or mildly annoyed.

One of them, clearly the ship's pilot from the markings on his shirt shoulder, announces to them "We come to trade. We do not seek war. What is the meaning of this?"

@Nucleep

The Yahupi ask them to step forward a little more and tell them they do not like their lands being trespassed against. The Yahupi do not look like very forgiving or hospitable people.

_

The ones in the Federation are dealt with more peacefully. "I see. What do you have to offer us?" an officer asked politely.

<Snipped quote by Apple>

The diplomatic vessel was now headed to the Castle Weisswolf Port with nothing too auspicious, then proceed to disembark the Veilletes ambassador for a welcoming invitation to foreign affairs.

<Snipped quote by Aceofreality>

"Reasonably enough. What courses of your education may had applied in recent times?" said Dartson, investigate about the education system of the Federation while writing down his paper.

-------------------

The Veilletes marines have already occupied half of a single Yahupi island at the south during their first stage of naval invasion. They're now beginning to tool the defected Yahupi soldiers and slaves into a working class of field engineers, traders and soldiers for the Republic. The first foreign Yahupi-Veilletes town has emerged near the coast of an abandoned village, which is now called Rofstiem that serves as a supply center, a naval yard, a staging ground for Veilletes soldiers and a connection point of their trade network from the homeland of Veilletes Republic to the rest of an southern ocean world. The Yahupi defectors were seems to be better off living within Veilletes occupied territories as the influx of wealth and riches from the Veilletes free trade network will causes them to live up with slightly higher standards than the Yahupi Confederacy. (Which can also be a bad thing because they're now demanding lucrative goods from the Veilletes Republic.)

The basics of social welfare are also presented and introduced at the Rofstiem. Schools for educating into a more experienced workers & soldiers, clinics for treating, police stations for security and so on will give the Veilletes Republic within government control are more appealing than their former nation.

The religion of the Yahupi Confederacy 'Sun God' in a newly founded town, Rofstiem are highly restricted during an occupation phrase of the enemy nation, but somewhat tolerable enough so it doesn't causes a holy uprising during their attempts on coincide those new people to Veilletes rule.

@CmdrAlfieq

The commander looked to another of his associates. "We have mostly focused on improvement of the self, though many of our schools tend to focus on the mathematics and scientific fields. Though language and art is another major facet in our schools." he stated.

-

The Yahpui defectors do not rebel or make trouble for the Veilletes Republic. However they still hold on to their 'Sun God' religion. Many of them enjoy their freedom and are glad to be freed from their oppressors. Many other tribal peoples and people of the island come to join with the Veilletes as they advance their invasion. The rest of the Yahupi soldiers on the island fight to the death, until all but the defectors remained alive. The entire island soon falls under the Veilletes sway. The Yahupi had no chance against them. However in the nearby islands, fortifications and such are set up in preparation for battle. However other Yahupi ships head towards the island and start to set fire to parts of it to attempt to make things harder for the invading forces.

World of Nations - A freestyle Nation RP

While the main colony was being set up, the fully loaded and heavily armed treasure ships continued on their way towards various nations (every active player nation). A white flag was raised below the national flag to show that they come in peace and wish to trade, not to attack the nations (despite their arsenal).

@Nucleep

The treasure ships that land in the Yahupi Confederacy are met by several armed warriors who pointed spears and muskets at them, they didn't fire just yet. They weren't happy with outsiders being on their land that was for sure. "COME OUT! UNARMED!" a particularly tall Yahupi soldier shouted.

_

The ones in the Federation were met by a few soldiers aswell, who had guns lowered but ready just in case. They ask for whoever is onboard to come out.

World of Nations - A freestyle Nation RP

<Snipped quote by Aceofreality>

"Statistically, we need a data to show what is your current level of society when comparing to us." said Darston after looking through his documents about a basic understanding of the Federation. "Let us tackle the education system first and beforehand. Maybe this segment need a certain of improvements, and then we check the social infrastructures needed to accomplice." said by Darston.

-------

The first wave of Veilletes marine invasion has succeeded in holding a position of Yahupi's island coastal line. The Yahupi defenders have faced a few things that they never seen or heard of the new Veilletes toys they brought onto their lands, and so turning a small skirmishing incursion, into a pointless death of massacre until a last Yahupi resistance (from a single island) has dropped dead onto their feet. The Veilletes have brought in some sort of a metal beasts that can go fast and kill fast (known as the AFV) that shredded some poor Yahupi musketmen by their light autocannons, and their outdated muskets will not be able to penetrate the ferocious metal beasts or throwing spike-balls no matter how hard they tried. It's not just the metal beasts that they're worried too much in Veilletes first naval invasion, but feared by their latest infantry equipment that seemly brought from the AA's land military manufactures. Armed with a variety of weapons that goes from shooting a hundred times faster than Yahupi ranged soldiers (Machine guns, Assault rifles), hit harder than a musket ball (Rifles, Anti-Material Rifles), and can create explosions at a whim of their designated aim (Mortar, Bazookas, Grenades). These soldiers of Veilletes marines were also fitted with a hidden armor inside of a deceived ragged clothing (armor vests) and can be communicating by as far or more as any Yahupi strait means of communication (radio).

Once the Veilletes marines have secured the beaches, they're going to send a missionary (along with escorts) through the harsh jungles and attempting to subjugated the local Yahupi people to fight and defect their own cause by their own Veilletes religion. Since the reasoning behind those motivations of the means to subjugated the people does have many reasons. One, the Veilletes Military Force aren't that big and have to rely on technological advantage or gather many local people as possible to fill in their ranks. Two, the integration of the new indigenous people under Veilletes Republic will be much easier later on, and lastly but not the last, it's basically follows a similar path and glory just like the Militarian-Veilletes Empire once were, and so repeated their past history but at a different scale.

The Veilletes marines have started their outposts and establishment of new coastal towns in order to solidified the claim on said island and whilst expanding their Veilletes naval free trade network.

@CmdrAlfieq

"I agree with the notion that the education system can be improved. It is good, but it can be better. As for the infrastructure, from what we know of the Veilletes Republic we need to do major things there aswell, mainly roads and transportation routes aswell as civilian structures. The military is doing quite well, though." stated by the Commander. "We will also be wiling to allow our ports to be used for Veilletes trading ships, and to encourage business and trading there." he asdded.

_

All of the Yahupi warriors that were fighting against the Veilletes invasion force were taken out quite easily, though a few of them surrender to join the Veilletes. They decide to do something a little more effective, and start to burn bridges and infrastructure that would be useful to the Veilletes Republic if captured.

Though, all slaves pretty much defect to the Veilletes ranks aswell as some Yahupi Officers and soldiers who see no hope in winning these battles. Eventually at some point some of the Yahupi just start to betray their country out of fear of those loud explosions and things they have never seen fighting against them. Though many still stay loyal.
