[quote=@Nucleep] 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. [/quote] 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. [quote=@Uncle Spanky] 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. [/quote] 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. [quote=@CmdrAlfieq] "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. [/quote] 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.
