Gundam:The Renewed War OOC Thread
The war between the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon forces has come to a standstill. The Principality once held the upper hand with the use of the mass produced titular mobile suit, the MS-06 Zaku II during the early stages of the war. Now, the Zeon Earth Attack Force assault has lost momentum, creating a stalemate against the defending Earth Federation Forces. To end this, the Federation initiated V Project on July 1st to fight back against the Zeon forces. The project was a successful, providing the RX-78-2 Gundam, RX-77-2 Guncannon and RX-75-5 Guntank. Before the units could be deployed however, the project was threatened by a Zeon strike force on 9.18. The survivors escaped with the mobile suits, heading for Earth Federation Headquarters Jaburo. In October, the Federation begins the development for a mass production variant of the RX-78-2, designated RGM-79 GM. Now it is November 09, and the Federation has achieved victory against the Zeon forces with the success of Operation Odessa, and the RGM-79 GM units begin deployment to other areas of Earth to fight the Principality of Zeon.

Earth Federation Forces
The Earth Federation has held its ground against the Zeon forces as best it could before the introduction of mobile suits changed the battlefield. The Federation forces have used the mass produced and reliable Type-61 Tank during the start of the war, but the introduction of the agile MS-06F Zaku II has negated this advantage. With the completion of the V Project, the EFF now have a new hope for winning the war. Now, the RGM-79 GM has been produced and is being sent to high scoring ace pilots...

Zeon Earth Attack Force
At first, the Earth Federation believed it could win the war against the Principality of Zeon with their advantage of numbers. This was proven wrong when during the battle of Loum the MS-06 Zaku II was used to great effect, decimating the unsuspecting Federation forces. Zeon was able to achieve space superiority and control much of North America and Asia. Zeon's advantage against the Earth Federation has dwindled now, having stretched their resources and supply lines. Now with the appearance of the RX-78-2 Gundam, and the subsequent RGM-79 GM, Zeon is forced to push their mobile suit development, or face defeat...

You are a soldier, in the Zeon Earth Attack Force, or the Earth Federation Forces. The stalemate between the Principality and the Federation is about to be broken, but by which side is up to you. Strap in, head out, and obtain victory for the Principality or the Federation in...

Username: Phoenix347
Name: Akuro Spade
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Nationality: American, although he has moved internationally to various countries.
Orientation: Heterosexual
Personality: Akuro is an oddity of a person. While some might diagnose him with social personality disorder, Akuro doesn't like the idea. Generally he's in persona similar to high class business men or politicians, befitting his position within the Union, but not always. Much of the time his personality differs with the person, but he very much values first impressions. His is cunning and manipulative enough to elevate himself to a Union Council seat, and retain it dispite his relatively young age. He favors listening to orchestral music and playing the piano.

Rank: Union Councilman
Occupation: Head of heavy machinery and weapons development in the Union
Education: Various Engineering degrees, Biology degrees, Physics degrees

Factions: The Union

Philosophy: Athiest
Political Ideals: Akuro calls himself a 'cybernetic reformist'. Essentially, he is very supportive of incorporating cybernetics and advanced technology into daily life. Within the Union, he is one of the more adamant politicians, and prefers legitimate business. The Union's advantage of the black market contacts, underworld connections and under-the-table deals generally keep him more satisfied than he would be a legitimate business man or politician.

Biography: Born in America to an English father and Chinese mother, whose backgrounds touch almost half the major countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas, Akuro was raised within a strict household. For his rebellious years, he seeked to install himself in his school's student council where he would take advantage of loopholes to extend the length of the president's power. He was on track to being a successful politician or a lawyer, but held a fascination with machines. He jumped from college to college on engineering courses, and as technology progressed, he began to take an interest in what he referred to as biomechanical engineering.

While completing yet another degree, his family pulled him back to their home in France, and decided to involve him in their affairs of the Union. However, they were killed shortly after achieving the second tier by a feuding family. In response, Akuro devoted two years to reaching the Council seat of his division and thoroughly cleaning out the feuding family from his division. He refocused much of his division after that to industry, specifically weapons and heavy machinery. While there is a small biological section, its only focus is on cybernetic research and design. Akuro contributes to his division greatly, designing some of the new military tech that allowed China and recently Russia to rival the 'western giant'.

Within the Union, he has been a more relaxed councilman, paying little attention during their rare meetings, but his capability outside those rooms has prevented any from removing him forcefully. He enjoys the debates they enter however, and even though he may not seem interested in influencing the world, he does so very much on his own. His power within the Union is strikingly similar to the others, almost setting him as a baseline for comparison. Politically, he meets with national leaders often on industry and military technology, economically, he's wary enough to prevent loss of production and profit.

Skills: Mechanical engineering, Biomechanical engineering, Weapons designing

Transportation: Council private transports such as stealth planes.
Home: Changes at random based on current investigation against him.

Likes: Cybernetics, future tech, designing, orchestral music
Dislikes:Union council squabbles, dramatic characters, ignorance

Weapons: While his guards hold most of the firepower, Akuro does carry a personally designed 10mm pistol and taser gun.
Clothing: Generally wears a white button down shirt with a tie, black slacks, black loafers, and a long coat. He sometimes changes his attire based on his current location.

"For the Good of the Earth"

+ Great. Ren had managed to get separated from his squad during the attack on Odessa. He supposed it wouldn't be long before he regrouped with them though and figured he'd help out where he could in the meantime. It's not like this was an uncommon thing in war any ways. The early days of this war were rather rough. Hiding under broken war machines, trying hard to press on. No matter. There was a current objective that he needed to accomplish. His Zaku I groaned forward steadily, the screen flickered as the machine's eye lens peered about the landscape. An incoming transmission signaled the enemy was in sight. The steady piloting seemed so peaceful at the time Ren felt like it was a drag to return back to the fighting. But they had to, for a faster peace.

"Come on men hit em hard! Keep on moving forward!" He yelled in mock cheer. Something to pep up their spirits. Ren moved into a favorable position keeping him close to the rear of the retreating units. That way he could spray at enemy units while protecting his comrades. It was a shame that required killing his enemies.

Inside the cockpit of the mobile suit, Andrei readjusted his cap and headphone to his head, as well as making sure the seatbelt's on. He'd then move his hand to grab the control sticks, and legs on the pedal. " Titan-2, roger. " he gave a brief affirmative response. Following the commanding officer's call, he'd boot the unit, making it stand as the monoeye sensor glints on activation. A spike shield on the left arm, that's all he's carrying on the MS' hands. His eyes moves over to the digital UIs confirming no abnormalities, and the rallying allies. He'd then wait to move along the rest of Titan Squad, as he's the rear marksman. " Sieg zeon, sieg zeon, huh... " he muttered to himself, sighing as several men yelled themselves for motivation and like, not that it's a bad thing.

Lt. Commander Marcus Volk

Marcus was hungry for contact with the enemy, just like his namesake he'd been stalking Odessa's defenders unlucky enough to be left on the ground. It was time for a little payback after Melborne, after Loum, after New York and California, now the Federation could fight on even terms. The Lt. Commander viewed the enemy forces in the distance with an eager desire for vengeance tempered by duty and his responsibility to his squad, "Emerald Squad form up,"

He called through the radio as the eyes of his Gundam Ground Type lit up, "Enemy contact is imminent, lets not be reckless." He advised as the mobile suit team advanced towards the enemy. His team knew their targets, One: the enemy mobile suit forces, Two: to keep said mobile suits from flanking the T-65s and Bigtray Land Battleships, he was sure they would try a damned foolish thing like charging on the Gallop-class they had confirmed was among the enemy.

Around them to the sides, mobile suits trudged, tanks and jeeps rumbled, and the two Bigtrays hovered through the winding sand that made up the battlefield they were to engage in. It would be long now, he noted, a sense of calm falling over him, the big guns on the land battleships would open up any time now to bracket the enemy and keep their head down to allow the Federation Mobile Suits to advance in range to engage with their Zeon counterparts. Even as the thought formed in his head though, a series of booms signaled the beginning of the federation bombardment, the sign for the mobile suits to begin their attack. He grinned as he keyed his teammates, Lets show them the power of the Earth Federation," He said as the mobile suit burst into attack speed, finishing simply, "Charge!"

Titan Squad Commander
[MS-07B-3 Gouf Custom]
{OOC: Chocolate Milk Power Activate! 5AM WHOOoo!.}

Richard quickly wolfed down his remaining dinner after hearing the message from the Major. It was no good to go into battle on an empty stomach. Replying over his radio headset, "Titan Leader acknowledges." Switching over his transmission channel to his squad only, he'd speak up once more. "Steinhardt, Renolds, stick to cover as much as possible here. Move out, Renolds you're on my three, Steinhardt take up position on my 8. Jims are first priority, Trays and Tanks are targets of opportunity. Eyes peeled for enemy air support, call it if you see it." Finishing off his Gouf's final pre-combat check. He'd start forward keeping an eye on his squadmates to make sure they weren't having any issues. Taking the brief gap in need to control the Gouf on the walk, Richard went ahead and activated a telemetry link to the Zaku Cannon, letting it leech off his targeting info for better triangulation of long range targets.

Switching over to a private channel to Steinhardt he'd give the young officer some advice. "When we engage, after you fire your first shot from that cannon, take your time to enter in the targeting adjustments needed before you take another shot. If you have a shot on a Tray, take it and move. We don't want return bombardment getting you." He finished saying this shortly before a ways in front of them the signs of bombardment from heavy cannons. Quickly switching back to the squad channel Richard picked up speed in his Gouf to make it to their defensive position before the enemy got to them. Hefting the Gouf's 90mm Assault Rifle, he readied to receive the enemy.

[Positroneidon]

2nd Lt. Andrei Steinhardt [MS-06K]

Listening to his captain's orders, Andrei gets his unit onto the gouf custom's 8 o'clock and match the marching speed. " Titan-2, roger. " he repeated his flat affirmative again. Soon enough, he'd receive a private comm and half-order half-tips sounding lines from the squad leader Richard. " Yes sir. " he replied with a nod, before switching back to squad channel too. Taking a deep breath and letting it out. " Ey Renolds, this is not the best retreat covering ops, but just don't stall them by meatshield-ing you hear me ? I'd wager afterlife's a sh*t of a place, but if you feel lucky enough, aim for the field hospital instead. They're nice, and you might be able to find some good field nurses there. Eh, well... Still a bad gamble nonetheless, I'd say don't even bet there. " he talked over the comm, half-jokingly, no ill-intent, just less zeonic spirit compared to the ones that was swarming the comm. Concluding his chatter, he'd let a short chuckle over the comm as their turn draws near.

(( OOC : First shot for the vanguard major, do go ahead. Aand yes, i kinda put a death flag on our Pvt. Renolds wink ))

+ The sound of bombardment let it known that they were within combat distance. Ren still wanted to avoid straying from the pack again. Turning backwards his unit clunked slowly in the opposite direction he was facing. His gun unleashed a few rounds towards some nearing enemy units. Boom! One tank went down. Just like the when he did his first space drop. Tanks were everywhere then as well. Some more rounds were used as pot shots to see if he could hit some farther targets. "One down. This is Ren reporting. Captain Weiss, are you pushing into the enemy forces?" His unit halted to take a clearer shot at a few more tanks. Two, three, three down. Another sound signified a return fire. Ren narrowly dodged a barrage of tank fire. "Total of three down." A bead of sweat dropped down his face feeling his adrenaline pump after that close scare. Better be more careful. The blue zaku returned to its tactical retreat.

The sight of two Zaku units and a Kampfer showed that the Major was entering the field. Ren pulled his goggles from his neck and placed them on before the combat got any heavier. Looking back he should have done that earlier.

Major Okiru Azukii
As his unit came to a halt, the Zaku Snipers lowered themselves to a kneeling stance, barely over the cover of a hill. The auxiliary generators strapped to their backs hummed to life, providing the much needed power for the beam rifles. They were still a relatively new technology, but Zeon command began trying to refit the Zaku I's for better use in this renewed war against the federation. "Davis, Jackson, are the rifles ready yet?" He said through the squad com before receiving a confirmation. "Roger that Major. We're ready to fire just tell us where." Okiru smiled to himself. Let's get this started then"All units this is Major Azukii. My units will open fire, all long range units are to begin bombardment on the enemy as soon as the have concentrated themselves." In his experience when a division was attacked by snipers, they would almost always cluster up and hunker down somewhere. He hoped these GM pilots would be doing the same. "Target the front enemy Big Tray battleship!" With his order said, both Zakus concentrated the generator power before firing those deadly green beams, straight into the Big Tray bridge.

Confirmed kills: 1x Big Tray-class

[Positroneidon]

2nd Lt. Andrei Steinhardt [MS-06K]

The Zaku cannon was also in kneeling position, with its right leg kneepad and spike shield helping him to anchor a stable footing to adjust his shots from. " Now then... Titan-2, commencing artillery fire. " he reported short, entrenched behind a nearby dune for cover aiming the big 180mm cannon ahead, with a GM marked with red crosshair on his cockpit UI. It was the second from the frontmost, because in his book they're nicer targets, making the vanguard feel left alone while also sending more chaos to the 3rd line and behind. Following a smooth click of his right arm clicking on the control stick's top button is a flash, recoil, smokes, a sound over the air, before slugging the targetted GM in it's torso and exploded. " Confirmed hit, next. " he continued to mutter to his own, hovering the crosshair to another GM, this time 3rd line, as repetition is no good.

He'd then see bright beams flashing from this side, flashing all over the battlefield and landed to the enemy's Big Tray, right in the bridge. " From this range ? As expected of beam weapons huh... Young major's handpick not to mention " he thought. He might be able to pull it from this range, but with realistically, the need for multiple angle correction, which of course, would take time and ammo. Guess he'd better leave those to the snipers. Taking aim whilst thinking idly in slight admiration, another GM was shot. It missed a direct hit a torso, but blasted off the left arm and head along with the parts near clavicles, toppling the GM flat on its back. Might not lead to reactor explosion, but should be enough to list as knocked out of comission. " Might have to consider moving after few more shots ? " he thought to himself, finding another priority target to pick out from afar.

[Fatal_Shadow13]

Lt. Commander Marcus Volk


In the first opening seconds of the bombardment the enemy returned fire, with cannon and, much less expectantly, highly accurate beam rifle fire, two beam of which sheared away the bridge of the Big Tray-class battleship Thermopylae, "Marathon, be advised, beam rifle equipped snipers spotted, commence saturation bombardment on area Theta-Niner-Eleven, we'll mark where those bastards are with purple smoke!" HE said with fire in his voice as he opened up with his 100mm machine gun, the GM of his team with their 90mm's doing the same, their combined fire power mowing over a pair of zaku's and three Magella attack tanks that had been unlucky enough to be behind insufficient cover, "All other units keep your spacing, the last thing we need is for a Zeke to get luck with a cannon shot and take out an entire tank platoon or MS Team!"

Just as he said that two GM went down in rapid succession, taken down by heavy caliber fire, a 180mm cannon if Marcus had to guess. One of mere disabled, other a confirmed kill, the enemy had some artillery with them, Marcus observed grimly. He had a pretty good idea of where the b*****d was, but didn't have a good shot on it, not without some elevation, "Erikson, Quaid, open fire on that dune two our nine o'clock, I need suppression fire for a stupid idea," Confused and slightly unsure confirmations, accompanied by the low rumble of their 90's was all gave them time to do before Marcus gunned his boosters, rocketing into the air and to a better elevation.

Better but still not good enough, he didn't have a good shot on the Zaku with the cannon, he noted quickly while he adjusted his aim to the suit near it, another zaku on the other side of a gouf, and opened up. He quickly emptied the remaining half of his magazine into its chesty and head before turning the suit slightly in midair and bringing the gun down, ejecting the spent magazine and launching a smoke grenade from his multi launcher in the general vicinity of those beam rifles. He cut out the boosters to drop back down to the sand, noting that the grenade hadn't been one hundred percent on target, but would put those shells from the surviving Big Tray close enough to make them redeploy at the very least, as he quickly jammed home another clip into the machine gun and cocked it, Erikson, Quaid, on me, we're pushing through."

Elsewhere the Federation tanks and MS were doing well to heed Lt. Commander Volk's warning about clumping together. the surviving tanks of the platoon fired upon by a Zaku I returned fire with a vengeance, backed by three GMs with two 90mm's and a hyper bazooka.
