"Those who claim to be of the Clan known as Wolves-in-Exile, this is Captain Kiano of the Alarion-Alarion Province Militia AeroSpace Brigade. This world is now one of over a score that have decided that Star Colonel Charlamagne Steiner of Clan Star Adder would be a better Archon than the Steiner-Davion Brood, or anyone else for that matter."
"So, your presence is no longer wanted, nor desired here, however your Factory is. Should we win, you leave the Factory where it is, and depart this world. You win, you keep it, pack it up and take it with you. Either way, we want you to leave."
Before any Exile can reply though, a second broadcast is made, "Clan Wolf-in-Exile, the Carlisle-Alarion Province Militia BattleMech Brigade has come to challenge you for the Factory you have on this world. The need of the Adder Commonwealth and its Archon, Charlamagne Steiner takes precedence, with what shall you defend?"
(ooc: Alarion-Alarion (that's how it was written on the List) Province Militia AeroSpace Brigade, 2 FP; Carlisle-Alarion Province Militia BattleMech Brigade, 11.25 FP
If goes to MM, Proxies are welcome)
"Adder troops, be advised: this is Colonel Ambrose Kidd of the Florida VPM RCT. This world is under the protection of the Rim Republican Army until such time as the Lyran Commonwealth sorts out its internal matters. All Clan forces are free-fire targets under RRA rules of engagement. Withdraw, now, or we will attack you."
OOC:
RWR claims Amminadav with troops already on-world.
Florida VPM RCT Mech RGT (Reg/Rel/11.25 FP)
Florida VPM RCT Aerospace Wing (Reg/Rel/4 FP)
OOC - Who is already on planet and who is arriving?

We both are. That's the trouble with civil wars.

One unit on world [the AeroSpace Brigade], one unit inbound [BattleMech Brigade] to be more precise
Okay. Then we need to pause for a second.

(BUMP)
BUMP again, still need resolution here.
From the void, a mass of interference was received. The arrival of a new force was announced in the electronic blackness of a jump signature.
"To the Steiner/Lyran government of Amminidav, this is task force commander Mitchell of the Star League Defense Force. We note possible hostiles in the area. Please state the current situation."
From the Wolf enclave, came the following message.
"Commander Mitchell, I am Marine Captain Silas of Clan Wolf. This world has claimed for the Republic. There are also deserter troops here presenting themselves as Clan Star Adder. We are preparing our holdings on this world and prepare for departure."
"Understood Marine Captain. Open channel to all systems."
"To all forces in this system. Please stand down and hold position. Star League member Clan Wolf is under our protection and we will use our full force to ensure that this world and the holdings of Clan Wolf are dealt with safely. Failure to do so will require us to take action."
12.5 FP of SLDF Naval Forces arrive, escorting additional ground troops. SLDF Aero falls to defensive interdiction automatically.
"Well Commadner Mitchell, you'd better get your facts straight. With the disintegration of the Lyan Commonwealth, the Amminadav Civilian Goverment, elected freely by the citizens of Amminadav, has chosen to follow Star Colonel Charlamagne Steiner and Clan Star Adder."
"I have in my possession a formal, and verigraphed, declaration by all the Cantons of Amminadav of their pledge and intent. BY this decree, Amminadav is now part of the Clan Star Adder Commonwealth under the leadership of Archon-Designate Charlamagne Steiner, Star Colonel of Clan Star Adder."
"The Rim Jobbers are not welcome here, and any statements they make are contrary to that recorded fact, nor are the Exiles wanted here any longer. A valid Trial was issued against the Exiles for their manufacting complex, prior to the Rim Jobbers interfering."
"An offer was made to the Exile Commander to pool our resources with their in an attempt to drive Rimmers off, yet we recieved no response for some time. I can only guess that they stalled for time, hoping that someone would arrive to save their sorry asses."
"Your vaunted Star League failed us, failed the Commonwealth, and failed the rest of the Inner Sphere by hiding the presence of Clan Wolverine within itself. If you really want to do something positive for a change, you can assist the Exiles in leaving and remove the interlopers of the Florida VPM RCT from this Clan Star Adder World."
"Anything less that and we will fight to the bitter end, heedless of the cost to ourselves. The people of this world will fight as well, disregarding their own welfare, their sole intent being to hold you all here until our Clan comes to remove your presence by force, using any means necessary and available."
"The people of this world would rather see it laid waste than allow it to fall into the hands of Traitors, cowards and failures. You have 24 hours to decide your course of actions Mitchell, after that we will do what is necessary in order to remove the infections from this Clan Star Adder World."
"Attention Clan Wolf forces, attention Clan Wolf forces. This is Colonel Ambrose Kidd of the Rim Republican Army. The government of this planet has turned traitor to the entire Inner Sphere and has sided with Clan Star Adder against their own people. The RRA's purpose now is to remove the occupying forces that claim to Clan-ship from Amminadav and secure it for the Lyran Commonwealth. The Rim may not be a Star League member, but we can all find common cause in throwing back Clan invaders, right? Err, ummmm, key-aff? Any assistance you're willing to lend my troops in removing the Adder presence from this world would be appreciated."
"Am I to understand that you are declaring yourself to be an enemy to the Star League and to the Lyran state, which this world rightly belongs to? That they claim Elvis in the Archon is unimportant. All Lyran troops are under the command of General of the Armies Nondi Steiner. Any who take action against us will be in violation of their oaths of service and enemy combatants. Clan Star Adder is a declared enemy of the Star League Defense Force and we are to destroy all of their forces when the opportunity arises. I certainly hope that you have mistakenly informed us that you have claimed them as your leader and defied your oaths of service. Otherwise, you are hereby ordered to stand down as enemies of the Star League and prepare to be boarded. You will be treated with the dignity due to all combatants captured by the Star League."

"Colonel Kidd, the only troops I have recognized on this planet are Lyran troops. I do not know where you raised your force. However, reports from Tharkad indicate that it may be from deserters of the LCAF. As Amminidav is a Lyran planet, member of the Star League, we will protect it from all non members. We will work with all
Lyran and Star League troops to ensure the safety of this world, if needed."

"Then I implore you: allow us to help you cleanse the Adder taint from the system. Once that goal is accomplished and this system is returned to true Lyran control, my troops will voluntarily withdraw back to Republic space. You have my word on that."

"The only taint in this system are those that follow Adam Steiner, the man who initiated the downfall of the Lyran Commonwealth with his assinine invasion of Addergrad. Had he remained faithful then the LCAF would not have been decimated."

"You are dense aren't you. The Lyran Commonwealth died in a blazing nuclear fireball, and the only ones that have been interested in lending assistance for months now has been Clan Star Adder."
"Where was the high and mighty Star League when the Arluna Flu was released by Daphne Rowe, a known and declared enemy of the former Lyran State, now married to Adam Steiner by the way? Where was the Star League Defense Force when the Free Worlds League first invaded the Lyran Commonwealth just a few short years ago? Where was the Star League when the economy of the Lyran Commonwealth collapsed?"
"You had no interest in helping us then, and come only now, when you perceive a threat to you. You come only when, in your warped minds, things don't go the way you want or like."
"Well guess what, the Star League hasn't helped anyone since it wiped out the Smoke Jaguars, so you can all bite it."
"Amminadav wants no part of the current Star League, and certainly has no desire to be party to Adam Steiner's treacherous and abominable leadership. Clan Star Adder asked, that's right
asked to be our patron. It didn't come in guns blazing. It didn't come with WarShips. It didn't make threats. It didn't promise a future of hardship and want. It used words, simple words asking for the chance to prove that things could be different. It offered the people of Amminadav hope."
"Hope, the one thing that the Star League and Rim Worlds Republic has failed to deliver time and time again. So while you may take our lives, and you may take our world, you will never take our free will! Now get the hell out of our corner of the galaxy!"
