OBSELETE

OOC: I will post a new resources thread for post-Dominion Ireland. Consider much of the resources here transferred to the Roman Empire. Consider Ordu na Naomh Siadhail retconned to the Order of Saint Patrick, and Schola Saint George retconned to Schola Saint Patrick.

-----

Ordu na Naomh Siadhail has training facilities and trainers standing by ready to train other nation's armies in Brotherhood martial arts, tactics, and strategy. We also, along with Syrian Arms (SA), can supply the cutting edge technology the Brotherhood uses to honorable nations. This all, of course, comes at a price. Nations and provinces of Rome are allowed supplies and training at basic price, and allies of Rome and Eire are allowed the same with 25% profit to the Brotherhood. All nations Christian and deemed honorable are allowed the same with 50% profit to the Brotherhood. Also, any one person may attend many of the programs for certain fees or obligations.

Training Programs

Schola Saint George

This program trains attendees with basic swordsmanship, basic use of the pollaxe, and basic wrestling skills at the basic level, advancing attendees gradually to higher levels. Persons not training for foreign military service may join the Schola for a membership fee of 100 florins a year, with all living needs paid for by themselves. Eventual Masters in the Schola are drawn from such members.

Syrian Arms Marksmanship Program

This program provides basic training similar to that of the best militaries. Attendees are trained with basic skills in how to maintain and shoot rifles, SAWs, pistols, grenade launchers, and rocket launchers. Advanced riflemen are allowed to advance to more advanced classes, being advanced marksmanship and expert marksmanship, to learn sniping doctrine and techniques. All weapons used in training are produced by Syrian Arms and based on Russian designs. Civilians of the Empire and of Ireland are allowed to join this program for a tuition fee of 10,000 florins, with more fees for advanced riflery classes. No other civilians are allowed to join.

Syrian Arms Aviation Program

This program provides basic aviation training, jet aviation training, and advanced fighter tactical training. Civilians may attend basic aviation training for a fee of 10,000 florins. No other classes are open to civilians.

Syrian Arms Officer Program

This program trains attendees in all tactical and strategic training needed to conduct warfare, as well as superior leadership skills needed to lead troops. Equivalent to officer training programs of the best militaries. Civilians may not attend.

Varangian Guard Program

This new program provides full and brutal training to produce Pelekyphorai Axemen for the Empire's service. Anyone may join for free, no background checks will be made, and those who complete the program may change their name, start completely new records, and be granted Roman citizenship. However, completing the program obligates ten years service in the Empire's Varangian Guard regiments. Dropping out of the program is punishable by death or a fee of two million florins.

Weapons and Armor Sales

Syrian Arms

If Russia has produced it, we have it, or at least have the facilities to produce it. All items sold at normal market prices, with listed fees applying.

We also have a surplus of Mosquito aircraft, which can be sold for personal use at 10,000 florins a piece.

The new SA-1 fighter jet is not for sale, and its specifications are classified.

O.N.S. Logistics

Cuchulainn Mk I suits: 20,000 florins

Cuchulainn Mk II suits: 100,000 florins

Cuchulainn Mk III suits: 1,000,000,000 florins

Custom Blades: 400 florins to 10,000 florins

Please allow all orders placed with O.N.S. logistics two weeks to one year for completion, depending on the complexity of your order. All orders are customizable, though customizations must be specified. Civilian orders are allowed.

DISCLAIMER

The O.N.S. and Syrian Arms are not responsible for the actions of anyone trained in its programs. Any injuries as a result of Syrian Arms training will be treated for free, and any deaths during such training will result in a 200% refund. Syrian Arms reserves its right to refuse refunds to uncooperative or extortionate associates. Under NO circumstances can these training programs be used to recruit mercenaries. Any attempts at doing so are punishable by death.

My younger brother has been orphaned in all of this violence. Prince Bartholomew, heir to my throne, needs to be taken care of well. I am assured that the O.N.S. Training system is a good and Christian education in such manners. Therefore, I would initially wish to place him in the Schola Saint George. Whence he advances, I am sure that he would attend further programs if this should be allowed.

Surely, a member of a Royal Family would not be considered a civilian should he later wish to advance through your officer training system. Am I correct in this belief?

We would be happy to take your brother on as a student of the Schola. We assure you it is as you say, your brother will be taught all the values and morals of a Christian knight. We firmly believe chivalry must be brought back to this world. As he advances in skill, he will be given more advanced training. We are sure Syrian Arms will be happy to provide him officer training as well when he feels he is ready, though they recommend that he take the basic training before doing so.

OOC: In case anyone is interested: Schola Saint George

I am not really accurate in any way in portraying it, really, save for that the combat skills learned in it are truly deadly and effective.

EDIT- OOC: Also, I'm not exactly sure what you're getting at Menhad. This won't compromise your order whatsoever. And Nag, I'll get to your order, BUT O.N.S. is not the no question's asked type of business. I'll PM you, and then we'll have some sort of IC private transmission.

As with any client outside of the Empire, we are required to do an investigation of ACO Limited's sales practices. Your stock is obvious, but mainly we want a client list. Nothing detailed, just a list of your customers, as well as a list of blocked and preferred clients. Additionally, due to the nature of your requested purchase, we must ask exactly what do you intend to do with the Mk III. We will respond to you again when we have the said information and have completed the evaluation.

I too am in agreement with this sentimate [sic]. I have lent him the usage of the airship Khartoum for transport to his lessons and prepared for him accommodations. Enclosed in this document you will find the necessary payment. Again, thank you for this opportunity. He will make a fine King for Zeelar someday.

A client list is attached. We have no bias against any client group: we are more than willing to trade at competative rates with any party (with one exception - we will not trade with the Hispanics). Clients who prove profitable to ACO Ltd get preferred customer status: nationality and heritage play a small role in determining this.

Our reports of the efficacy of your Mk III suit intrigue us. We seek to study this superior technology and use it to improve our own Advanced Armour Projects.

Very well, we see nothing wrong here. Right to purchase approved. Your request to pay by payment plans is approved, and we would prefer payments to be made in gold if possible, which would be about 60,000 kg for total payment. The total payments in any case must equal out to 1,500,000,000 florins (policy 50% fee to customer outside of the Empire or allies).

Construction of suit has begun. We hope to have it finished within three months, though we cannot make any promises. What customizations do you wish for the suit? The only built suit is done more or less in the style of Gothic plate armor, the helmet having the crest of a Hochmeister upon it. The core suit will remain the same, but the outer armor's styling can be customized in any way you like.

No heraldry is desired. We desire the outer styling to be as simplistic as possible: a streamlined, space-age appearance. A matt-black finish would be desireable.

OOC: The Grandmaster's outer shell is blackened titanium. We could do polished titanium for yours. It's a shiny silvery white-gray color.

This picture of a titanium ring shows the difference in color.

Or we could just paint it white. I'll only really end up doing a blueprint drawing as it is.

We should like a sufficient quantity to arm a few divisions with Cuchulainn Mk II armor. In addition, a couple dozen Mk III would be useful.

That's quite an order. Due to Telosan's recent help in Irish events, we'll go ahead and give you the ally discount.

However, we need definite numbers for the order. Does 100,000 Mk II suits and 24 Mk III suits sound good? That would come to 42.5 billion florins (12.5 for the Mk II suits, 30 for the Mk III suits).

Very well. The order of Mk II suits should be fulfilled within three months. The Mk III suits are a different matter. They are not mass produced, and it takes roughly six months to produce one suit. However, your order gives us an excuse to put focus on the Mk III. Expect three suits within the first six months, with a higher quantity to month ratio thereafter. If all goes well, you'll have all the suits within a year.

Given the nature of the production time, we think it best if payments were done every three months, with the initial payment being 12.5 billion florins at your earliest convenience. Thereafter, pay what you can pay every three months.

Thank you for your business.

Major Bummer, reporting for duty!

From the desk of Mr. Wolfgang Bauer
 
To whom it may concern:

The Cuchulainn armor produced by Ordu na Naomh Siadhail is widely recognized as one of the finest personal protection systems on the market today. B&K currently has in progress an advanced armor system of our own design. Although less sophisticated than the Cuchulainn, Project Avatar is slated to incorporate several common systems, and therefore we propose an exchange. As a result of our relationship with Allied Holdings International, we have been granted access to a vast array of proprietary and experimental technologies pioneered by our sibling companies, some of which are sure to be of use to O.N.S. The Order will have full access to any materials, schematics, and software used throughout the course of the project, to use for whatever purposes they see fit. Additionally, since the Avatar is intended for a different role than that of the Cuchulainn, it would be the pleasure of B&K to provide any reasonable quantity desired by the Order at cost. Furthermore, any Avatar orders placed by O.N.S. will be given manufacturing and shipping priority. In return, we request a team of Cuchulainn engineers, with suitable expertise in their respective fields, to act as consultants to the Avatar design unit for the duration of the project, as well as limited access to O.N.S. technologies, all requests pending the approval of the Order administration, of course. We look forward to conducting business with you, in this matter and in the future.
