[RZU] Rheinland "Zuflucht" Unit - AceofSpades - 04-14-2009
[RZU] Rheinland "Zuflucht" Unit
[color=#33FF33][font=Arial]Rheinland's "Recourse" Unit
[font=System][color=#33FF33][font=Arial]Rheinland's "Recourse" Unit
The [RZU] was recently created after study of recon and intelligence information gathered from Rheinland spies and sympathizers throughout Liberty. An analyzation of Liberty's new, effective response team, "SWAT", led to the basis of the Zuflucht unit. When combining this idea with Rheinland technology, and adding a burning need for a "border patrol" to the west, a great need bore a great new tool of the Chancellor.
The Zuflucht is based out of the Battleship Westfallen in Hamburg, and operates in the nearby sectors. While operating in Hamburg, Bering, and Hudson, it is in its own and works accordingly. Its greatest strength is its specialization, by only operating against local pirates in Hamburg and Berlin upon request of the RM or RFP, it not only avoids a meshing of roles, but frees up the Military and Police to focus on their goals without worry of the Western Border. Operations also carry into Texas, however such movements are restrained, never passing Houston, and never being carried out without proper clearance. In addition, it should be noted that all RZU units are under jurisdiction of the Military and should respond as such. If hailed by a Military unit requesting backup or other help, RZU units should make these orders the highest priority.

Hamburg
Bering

In these three systems, the RZU will also act to secure the Blockade preventing trade from Liberty<-->Rheinland
Berlin
(when here, the RZU should not act as a lawful police entity unless asked, or if no RM/RFP are present)
Texas
(limited, officers must have a (1st) or (2nd) present to move into Texas)

A marked improvement upon the "SWAT" system is the alterations to the ranking system. Liberty seems to have a remarkable supply of pilots, thusly our forces must always be properly equipped in the field. All officers have a full access to RZU aranments and ships, the ranking system is purely for having a chain of command, and by removing the "weapon by rank" system that Liberty's SWAT employs, our officers life expectancy is greatly extended. The rank system is as follows:
[RZU]Name(1st) This represents a leadership position within the RZU
[RZU]Name(2nd) This represents a second-in-command position within the RZU
[RZU]Name This represents a regular officer within the RZU
[RZU]Name(2nd) This represents a second-in-command position within the RZU
[RZU]Name This represents a regular officer within the RZU
The Rheinland has always had the finest ships and equipment within Sirius. The Zuflucht will take full advantage of this, of course. However the RZU relies on efficiency, and therefore will rely on the versatility of Rheinlands new variety of support ships. Capital class vessels are tools to be deployed and assigned by the Rheinland Military, and therefore currently do not have a role in the RZU, though this may change if the Zuflucht proves a success in the eyes of the Chancellor.
Available Ships
72-ARKM-G27 "Phantom" Light Fighter
90-ARKM-N45 "Wraith" Very Heavy Fighter
19-ARKM-N82 "Mjolnir" Super Heavy Fighter
140-ARKM-N58 "Bergelmir" Bomber
13-ARKM-N37 "Fafnir" Heavy Bomber
The Valkryie, being the pride of the RM and not widely manufactured, will be absent. Pilots will be asked to fly either the Wraith or Mjolnir in its place

Lastly, the Zuflucht recruits the proudest and most diligent Rheinland men and women. Combat effectiveness can be taught, pride and honor cannot. Pilots will be reviewed after an application is presented, most will begin as basic officers. -All- pilots are subject to the strict code of the Rheinland Officer and are expected to behave as such. Pilots who are accepted should get their <span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:100%]Rheinland Military ID and IFF and get out in the field
//this faction will not tolerate ooRP or those who do not have respect for RP and the Rules of both the server and this faction. All pilots are subject to removal if deemed necessary by officers of the RZU, this is one faction who will take feedback and player reports seriously.Serve your Chancellor and help put Liberty back in its place...
...join the Zuflucht today!

I like it, it looks good. It will give Rheinland another helping hand with the war, and because you don't move out of the systems near Liberty your not similar to the Police.
Need any help with it or members i'll be happy to help you out, just send me a pm.

So, you're going to be policing the Independant worlds of Hudson and Bering? To...what exactly? harrass traders? "enforce the embargo" *spits* I hate embargos.
And doesn't the RM / RFP have a standing statute that you cannot enforce the so-called embargo anywhere but Hamburg?
Texas and Hamburg both should NOT be battlegrounds this early in the war either. If you must engage (this goes for Libs too), do it in the Independant worlds or better yet, New Hampshire.
SWAT is a part of LPI isn't it? So why not be part of the RFP? A stab at non-overlap is coming off as just that, huge overlap between both RFP and RM.

This is what Liberty has patrolling the borderworlds

The Rheinland needs an answer, and needs pilots really. We won't be part of a larger faction, we have a ZOI, a task at hand, and all of that within a very reasonable RP.

I don't think the name fits your role. A "Zuflucht" should be something secure you can retreat to. But for me your group sounds like a scouting squadron for the independent worlds and into Texas, maybe playing hit&run tactics.
And I think the time hasn't come to create factions based on the war yet, there hasn't been a single official fight yet, right?
[RZU] Rheinland "Zuflucht" Unit - AceofSpades - 04-14-2009
Umm well I suppose the name can vary... thats not a huge thing.
And while I understand that official factions haven't done much, and some people may have valid points to not fighting yet, I will say this.
-There are wrecks of both sides in Bering
-There are actual fights between players from both sides every day (including this Rheinland BS that shows up in Texas all the time)
-And most of all, the mod says they are at war... They are listed as each others enemies, their NPC's shoot each other.... I don't know what else ya need. Official factions can take their time but alot of players want to participate now.
-And frankly its not like the RZU is going to storm Texas, its going to do its patrols and such in Bering, Hamburg, Hudson where Rheinland Military NPC's regularily patrol and engage Liberty Navy units....
EDIT: (see below) made that clear now, RM ID
[RZU] Rheinland "Zuflucht" Unit - Zapp - 04-14-2009
Question, I mean, this should be obvious, but... tag/ID? Your use of the word "SWAT" makes me think Police, not Military, though RM is the rather obvious ID to use. You might wanna make that clear.
[RZU] Rheinland "Zuflucht" Unit - Tomtomrawr - 04-14-2009
It would have the be Military ID, if they had Police then they wouldn't be entering Bering or Hudson.
Perhaps that new ID sold in Braunschweig, it's name is to long to remember without reading it but it's kinda like the LSF of Rheinland, is this basicly the faction for that ID?
[RZU] Rheinland "Zuflucht" Unit - AceofSpades - 04-14-2009
In fact, that would fit quite well. That is certainly worth looking at and yes it would be a nice niche. Would you say the Military IFF still? If you'd like a spot in this your certainly welcome, your far more experienced in the Rheinland than I am and I'd enjoy your help

That's my picture! D:
I don't think creating a new faction is the answer to the problem you speak of. It will only divide Rhienlands' forces. Unity, however, is a much better solution.
EDIT: and you have my other picture in your sig. Are you stalking me?
