-A man in his40's appear in a Armed Forces uniform, he doesn't carry any rank markings, but a single flag emblem on his chest-
Hear me, citizens of Bretonia!
Hear me those that love this nation, the crown and the planets on which we live in and work on!
Hear me now, cause it is something we need all to hear and understand.
The war with the Kusari have gone to such a degree that we need to understand that the armed forces alone, can no longer take all the curden of defending this country.
We have lost Parts of our nation to the foul Kusari!
Leeds is in constant conflict, we have lost Stokes to their military!
We have Tau 31 to retake, and at the same time, the Mollies and Gaians are on our doorsteps!
Not to mention the Bucaneers and Corsairs, all of these are up to our Armed forces to handle, but no more!
NO!
I now ask all of the able citizens of Bretonia to get in their ships, grab your rifles, and fly out and help our Nation!
This is a time of war, and we as it's citizens must stand up and be accounted for!
Join the Bretonian Citizens Army NOW!
For the crown, for our Queen and for our Nation!
-He salutes and closes the communication, afterwards a form fills the screen-
The Bretonian Citizens Army is as the name implies, a citizens militia, organized into a paramilitary force, they are under the command of the Armed Forces, but mainly they are to be a self controlling military body of Bretonia, able to fly where the Armed Forces can't, do what the Armed forces aren't allowed to do, and to fight as the Armed forces do.
It's main staging ground is to be Bretonia, and all of it's neighboring systems.
The whole idea behind the Militia is to take up the slack after the armed forces, handle internal threats, such as the Molly Republic and Gaians.
Not only that, but while in Bretonia the Militia will safeguard all Bretonian and allied transports going trough Bretonia, that includes escort services for the Bowex, BMM, Gateway Shipping and Planetform Inc..
The Militia are to work in unison with the Armed Forces, if a order is given to any of the Militia, they are to comply and assist or obey that order, we are after all under the Crown. ID and IFF

' Wrote:maybe i'm being to general, but isnt the idea you're trying to convey already covered by the privateer ID and the QCP?
Privateer ID is pirates that work for the crown, this is a Citizens army.
And the QCP, weren't those exiled from Bretonia?
Edit:
Quote:Pilot carrying this ID is a Bretonian Privateer, who :
Can trade and escort Bretonian or Liberty traders
Can demand credits or cargo from any factions that are not lawful Bretonian factions
Can hunt pirates and terrorists within their Zone of Influence except Golden Chrysanthemums
Can fulfil bounty contracts
Cannot enter Rheinland, Liberty, Gallia or the Omicron and Sigma systems
Cannot ally with anyone except with Bretonian lawfuls or Golden Chrysanthemums
Cannot use any transports with more than 4,300 cargo
Allowed ships: Fighters, Freighters, Gunboats, Transports, Shire
This could work, but would limit the ZOI for the Militia and wouldn't really be a militia...
Quote:Pilot carrying this ID is a Vigilante, who :
Can demand any non-house police or non-house military ships to drop any contraband
Can hunt pirates and terrorists anywhere in Sirius except for the Omicron systems
Cannot use ANY unlawful equipment or weapons (including Nomad weapons)
Cannot ally with anyone except other Vigilantes Cannot attack any lawful police or lawful military except in self defense
Cannot demand credits
Cannot trade or escort traders
Cannot fulfill bounty contracts
Can only land on Bounty Hunter, Zoner, IMG, Neutral, and Freelancer bases
Allowed ships: Fighters, and Freighters
Carrying unmounted IDs in your ship, as well as not equipping an ID, is a serious crime. Vigilantes are often considered to be unlawful and may be engaged by the lawful house police and house military. Players using the Vigilante ID MUST have a lawful tag/IFF and their equipment and area of operation must also reflect their tag.
I would suggest this ID, but as shown in Bold, and underlined. Roleplay wise, this ID would work wonders, you just -can't- be the first to engage.

Aye, I was thinking that as well, but alas, we aren't Vigilantes, we are still part of the Army.. Meh, but we could use this as well, just don't think it would fit to well with the idea of the group.
Hmm, so Freelancer/Mercenary/Vigilante/Privateer ID's.. Which one.. Gaah.
Edit:
It's also the problem with the whole; Arent able to actually attack any Kusari vessels.. Hehe.
To narrow it down Freelancer and/or Vigilante ID's would probably be the best choices, as an Army aren't hired/government paid Pirates.
Freelancer ID, since you're in this situation, would allow you take Bounties against the Kusari Naval Forces in Bretonia and Tau regions of space, which would mean you can open fire, under the justification of taking a Bretonian Government paid Bounty.

My $0.02
That sums it up nicely, theyl be freelancers.
Theyl use the Bounties provided by the government to justify their attacks on Kusari and pirate forces.
Question is, should we perhaps use BAF IFF??
Edit: Let me explain, a freelancer IFF wouldnt give the right feeling when detecting us in Bretonia, it would cause confusion, instead if we use the BAF IFF, wel be showing that we are indeed a Militia/army of Bretonia, and the Freelancer ID to show we are not the "real" BAF..:)
I am liking this idea.
In my opinion, I think you should go for freelancer/mercenary id with BAF tag just so everyone knows who their loyalties are with.
' Wrote:Goodies, this might spark up the activity of Leeds a bit. Also, thought about adding the Sabre to the list of usable vessels?
Thanks:)
And well, I have thought of making it allowed, BUT, it is seen as Unlawful, but I haven't decided yet.
Any feedback on the idea itself?
