Base on the sucess of my Belka vs Osea thread, I was made to think: this explains how General Resource Ltd came to power, but what about Neucom? Well, here's your chance to answer that question (obviously, Neucom wins later on); the date is January 8th, 2019, over a year after the fall of Belka and the rise of General Resources. Neucom has turned from small company to huge industry within a short time and has recently aquired the Erusian Air and Spance Administration. However, with new military hardware at their disposal, they still wanted more, and will do virtually anything to get it, and so they declare open war on Erusia and begin the Erusian Civil War. I myself will be affiliated with Neucom Inc and will have the XR-45 Cariburn as my fighter
The arsenals (Air Forces), for each side is as follows
Neucom Erusia
Mig-33A Super Fulcrum Mig-29A Su-27 Flanker Su-27 Flanker
Su-35BM Super Flanker Su-35BM Super Flanker
Su-47 Firkin Su-47 Firkin

damm no foxhound i was just starting to like that aircraft but owell ill will go with the mig-33a super fulcrum and neucom what about you Buddy? Hochsommerschnee 07:54, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
I just added the Mig-31M and the F-14D. I'm going with the XR-45 Cariburn on the side of Neucom Inc (I'll probably have to be somebody on the Erusian side as well, at which case I would be the new Yellow 13 with either the Su-35BM or the X-02).
Wywyrm 1 18:27, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
All i can say is keep it in your borders. Start moving towards the ISAF and we will be forced to take drastic measures. Hitman (radio) 20:33, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
can i instead take the MiG31m Foxhound with a COFFIN mk1 please? because the cockpit of the foxhound is rubbish its the only thing that lets that aircraft down because it blocks most of your veiw ill call it a MiG31m Super Foxhound-C Hochsommerschnee 09:02, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
Okay, sounds good. Don't worry hitman, Erusia is as far as we'll go. The COFFIN Foxhound will be the Mig-31R Foxhound-C. Bear in mind that the original Mig-33 didn't have COFFIN.
The war begins with a strike against a large Erusian city by a formation of YRB-89s escorted by Mig-33s and Su-27s. Erusia sends up the Su-35BMs of the 156th TFS "Aquila", intercepting and destroying several aircraft before being forced to retreat by the fighter escort. The Yellow Squadron took note of the Neucom Inc insignia on the aircraft and reported it to their superiors. Infuriated, Erusia declared war on Neucom, the first war declared directly upon a corporation. In response, Necom scrambles the 181st TFS "Cariburn", which, as their name suggests, was equipped with the experimental XR-45 Cariburn, one of the most maneuverable fighters ever produced.

so this is whats happen up to now : The war begins with Operation: Money Shot a strike against a large Erusian city by a formation of YRB-89s escorted by Mig-33s and Su-27s. Erusia sends up the Su-35BMs of the 156th TFS "Aquila", intercepting and destroying several aircraft before being forced to retreat by the fighter escort. The Yellow Squadron took note of the Neucom Inc insignia on the aircraft and reported it to their superiors. Infuriated, Erusia declared war on Neucom, the first war declared directly upon a corporation. In response, Necom scrambles the 181st TFS "Cariburn", which, as their name suggests, was equipped with the experimental XR-45 Cariburn, one of the most maneuverable fighters ever produced.
After the fatal blow what neucom did to anchorhead bay they deicide to start OPERATION:FIRE STARTER a push strait to to the captiol farbanti and anchorpoint mean while neucom sends a small black ops team to tyler island Hochsommerschnee 10:36, July 27, 2010 (UTC)
Despite many successes on the side of Neucom, there were also some major setbacks. A Spec Ops Team from the Federal Erusian Army managed to destroy several sattelite uplink nodes belonging to Neucom that were vital for the operation of their spy sattelites, at the cost of the lives of the entire team. That same day, the Cariburn Squadron scrambles to provide air support for the battle of Farbanti when the were attacked by the Yellow Squadron's Su-35BMs. No pilots on either side were shot down, but as the Cariburn Team had wasted their ammunition, they were forced to retreat. Meanwhile, over the Lambert Mountains, Neucom's Mig-31R Foxhound-C and the FEAF's X-02 Wyvern make their debuts in the War.
Wywyrm 1 03:08, July 28, 2010 (UTC)
Seeing the unrest and fighting emerging in Usea, the Union of Yuktobanian Republics placed the military units on their western borders on heightened readiness as a precautionary measure. They began to deploy recon vessels and aircraft, but kept them within international waters and clear of the Usean mainland so as not to appear provocative. Orca19904 02:11, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
Aware of Yuke aircraft within the airspace, the Neucom forces deploy YR-302 Fregatas to obtain reconnaisance data on the Yuke operations, out of suspicion that Yuketobania was eavesdropping on their communications. Mig-31R Foxhound-Cs maintain constant patrols just within international waters, and there are a few times where Yuketobanian and Neucom aircraft happen to meet up, but neither side makes aggresive moves.
Wywyrm 1 03:26, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
The Yuktobanians continue to maintain a cautious but non-aggressive stance, and on a few occasions, the Neucom pilots would observe the crews of some Yuktobanian aircraft photographing the planes sent to escort them (similar to how US & Soviet aircrews would take snapshots of each other during intercept/escort encounters during the Cold War). Around the same time, the Republic of Emmeria was also on a state of heightened alert, but did not deploy any recon/surveillance elements, not wanting to possibly aggravate the fragile situation in the region any more. Orca19904 06:34, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
After about a month of this stalemate, relations began to strain. On July 3rd, 2019, a Yuketobanian reconnaisance aircraft is approached by a formation of eight Mig-31R Foxhound-Cs. They give the Yuketobanians the following ultimatum:
Military Units of the Union of Yuketobanian Republics, the Board of Directors at Neucom Incorporated have decided it is inm our best interest to secure our borders and communications, in case might be in league with the obselete nation of Erusia. Withdraw all reconnaisance units from the area within one week or suffer the consequences, which includes the shooting down of this very reconnaisance flight. You have two hours to respond...
With this, people watching the developments of the conflict over the television hold their breath as an all-out war seems to loom on the horizon.
Wywyrm 1 22:05, July 29, 2010 (UTC)
After recieving the transmission from the Neucom fighters, the recon plane, an SR-71 Blackbird, increased speed on a heading of zero-seven-zero towards Yuktobanian territory. As the plane neared Yuktobanian airspace, the Neucom aircraft following it would detect a flight of Typhoons from Kvant squadron waiting on the Yuke side of the border to cover the withdrawal of the Blackbird and intercept the pursuing aircraft should they enter Yuktobanian airspace. Orca19904 00:36, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
The MiG-31Rs' powerful 'Foxfire II' Radar picked up the bogeys on radar. Here is the communications between the members of the squadron retrieved from the black box of the lead aircraft after the war:
Leviathan 1: The recon aircraft is approaching Yuketobanian airspace.
AWACS Storm Eye: This is AWACS Storm Eye, multiple bogeys detected just within Yuke airspace...hold it, we just recieved a SITREP. Listen up Leviathan!
Neucom President: This is the President, Captain Hendricks, are you there?
Leviathan 1: Yes Mr. President, I'm here. What are your orders?
Neucom President: You have permission to fire on the Yukes. We have reevaluted our position, and based on advanced simulation software, every single possible outcome has us winning against Erusia and Yuketobania, even though are losses could be heavy. You have permission to fire on the enemy. Wipe them out before they can send a distress signal.
Leviathan 1: Roger that, Leviathan 1, out.
Leviathan 2: Target is in MBC range!
Leviathan 1: We are cleared to splash bogeys. Weapons armed hot.
Leviathan 2: Roger that, tracking target and arming guidance system.
Leviathan 1: Ready...and...now! Fire at will!
In the next few seconds after this, the MiG-31R Foxhound-Cs fire their Microwave Beam Cannons, destroying each of the Typhoons and the Blackbird, killing everyone aboard the Blackbird and every one of the Typhoon pilots, the Microwaves completely disabling all electornic systems and making it impossible for a distress signal to be transmitted. The Leviathan Team turn back around, firewall the throttle, and fly away at full speed before the Yuketobanians could scramble fighters to intercept them.
(You do realize Neucom is supposed to win, right?)
Wywyrm 1 05:36, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
It is also at this time that Erusia completes the initial production phase of its last-ditch-defense weapon (the fuselage and some defensive armament): A massive spaceplane called the EASS Jörmungandr (EASS means Erusian Air and Space Service, where as the name refers to the Midguard Serphent from the legend of Ragnarok) that would be so heavily armed and so massive, it would be no exageration to call it a Space BATTLESHIP. When completed, the massive space-borne warship would be the first of its kind, and would have the firepower not only to defeat Neucom, but perhaps allow Erusia to defeat every major World Power within a matter of hours. The craft, although not complete, already had an astonishing array of TLS cannons to defend it from attack, along with a quartet of more powerful versions of the Osean Superlaser, once used on the Arkbird in 2010. (Image will be added later, once I decide how it would look...or...wait, I have a better idea: Midsummersnow and I could come up with different renditions of the craft, and the better-looking one will be the appearance we'll use).
Wywyrm 1 05:55, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
Since this is a sumulated war, theres really no set outcome. Hitman (radio) 09:34, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
Following the downing of the Yuktobanian aircraft, several world leaders, including the Yuktobanian and Estovakian Prime Ministers, condemned the attack, the Yuktobanian Prime Minister claiming that the reconaissance aircraft had been attempting to withdraw as per Neucom's demands and that the Typhoon fighters were on the Yuktobanian side of the border and were exhibiting no offensive action at the time. In a press conference, the Yuktobanian Prime Minister made the following statement;
"Neucom's unprovoked attack on members of our armed forces was a heinous act perpetrated by cowards. As of today, I am ordering defense units along our western borders to full alert and forbidding all Neucom military forces from entering Yuktobanian territory. Furthermore, I am enacting a trade embargo until those within the Neucom military responsible for the murder of our pilots are brought to justice."
Orca19904 09:51, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
Neucom was appalled with the accusations brought against them, claiming that they had never ordered such an attack. This was in fact true, as the Leviathan Squadron and AWACS Storm Eye were secretly agents of the Erusian military, hoping to provoke a war between Yuketobania and Erusia to buy them time to finish construction of the Jormungandr (not that anyone knew this). The supposed Neucom President was in fact an imposter, and was leading the effort to provoke a war, although the real President is unaware of this. Even more pressing was the true identity of Leviathans 1 and 2, who were in fact using aliases; their real names were Everette Barkhorn and Gunter Tersund, formerly pilots in the Belkan Air Force under the callsigns Wywyrm 3 and Wywyrm 4 respectively.
It is also at this time that a seemingly insignificant Neucom squadron begins official operations. Their Leader, acting under the callsign "Lightning", would later become a legend for his exploits during the War, especially at the very end. Erusia launches a massive counterattack at this time, pushing the Neucom forces back a long distance, despite an entire formagtion of bombers being shot down by the Neucom Lightning squadron.
Meanwhile, the 181st TFS Cariburn engages the 156th TFS Aquila in battle. Cariburn, although flying superior aircraft, were eventually overwhelmed and defeated by the Yellow Squadron. Not a single member survived the engagement.

GAH!!! Lost people's interest again!!! Wywyrm 1 19:29, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
dude we need to advertise this a bit more including this wiki too iv even told people on devent art about this and youtube Hochsommerschnee 08:06, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
Within a couple days of the downing of their planes by Leviathan, the Yuktobanians increase their defenses on their western borders, including a picket line of RQ-170B Sentinels, which were RQ-170 UAV's modified to serve as unmanned AWACS aircraft, the planes flying 24/7 patrol routes to monitor Yuktobania's western borders for further Neucom military incursions. Meanwhile, Yuktobania fast-tracked a project to 'harden' their military equipment against directed-energy attacks such as the MBC system employed by the MiG-31R. The Yuktobanian government also forbade all Neucom commercial traffic from entering their harbors and airports, and ceased exports to them as per the trade embargo announced in the press conference, thus depriving Neucom of their largest source of natural resources in the Verusan continent. Orca19904 16:10, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
Neucom, unphased by this development, puts all forces on high alert, sending several fighter squadrons to the bases nearest international waters. A week after this, a Neucom AWACS detects several bogeys within Neucom's air space. At this moment, a training excercise was underway when they were attacked by said bogeys, which was believed to be an unidentified Yuketobanian Squadron. The squadron is then intercepted and shot down by the Lightning Squadron, with another formation supposedly sent as reinforcements, but these were brought down by the Leviathan Squadron.
Meanwhile, the engines on the Jormungandr are completed in orbit, the massive dreadnought eluding detection thanks to its stealth design (it's radar cross section was reduced to the point it was believed to be a weather satellite for most of the War). The construction of the main power core is also nearing completion. On the ground, the Erusians have managed to procure an Ex-Belkan VX Antimatter Bomb, which they intend to load on to the Jormungandr once the dreadnought is completed. In the meantime, an upgraded version of Stonehenge is completed at the newly reactivated Megalith Fortress. Once the ammunition could be obtained in large quantities, Erusia would have what it needed to stop the Neucom advance until the Jormungandr could be completed.

As the situation between Neucom and Erusea continued to escalate, and since the Neucom/Yuktobanian incident happened precariously close to their territory, ISAF forces were also put on alert, with the 118th TFW, now flying X-02 Wyverns instead of their original F-22A Raptors, conducting regular patrols to monitor their borders for hostile incursions from either combatant. In light of the incident with the Yukes, the Wyverns were equipped with a version of the ECM system employed on the ADF-02 Super Falken during the Osean Continental War which had been reverse-engineered to defend against directed-energy attacks. Orca19904 06:44, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
For a few days, the 118th's patrols were uneventful, until one day they recieved word from AWACS Sky Eye of bogeys approaching the western border of San Salvacion and were vectored to intercept.
"This is AWACS Sky Eye, bogeys heading zero-niner-zero at two-niner-zero miles, angels 12, warning yellow, weapons hold. I say again, warning yellow, weapons hold, over."
"This is Mobius One, acknowledged, bogeys on my nose bearing zero-zero-two coming head-on. Radar shows a flight of 8, can you confirm? Over."
"Sky Eye to Mobius One, 8 bogeys confirmed, over."
"Mobius One, acknowledged, break, Mobius One to Mobius flight, drop to angels 11, over."
Orca19904 16:10, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
Sure enough, the infiltrators were the Leviathan Squadron, who in fact never intended to cross into San Salvacion, but somehow they had gotten lost, and only now did they realize their error...but not before five ominous blips appeared on radar.
Storm Eye: This is Storm Eye, five bogeys approaching from your six o'clock
Leviathan 1: Roger Storm Eye, confirm the targets.
Storm Eye: Confirmed...what the, there's five yellows!? Retreat, return to base. Do not engage! Repeat! Do NOT engage!
Leviathan 1: Dammit! Alright, climb to altitude and turn 180 degrees. Return to Base!
As Leviathan retreats, the pursuing Yellow Squadron, sporting X-02 Wyverns in their signature colors, notices several faint blips on radar. Their IFF doesn't register the bogeys, and so they assume them to be Neucom fighters. AWACS Sky Eye intercepted the following communications:
Yellow 11: This is Yellow 11, bandits approaching from 12 o'clock high!
Yellow 8: They've got Switchblades!
Yellow 13: This is Yellow 13, roger that. All aircraft, you are cleared to splash Neucom Switchblades. Fire at will.
All Yellows: Fox Three!!!
And so, with that communication, the Yellow Squadron mistakenly engages Mobius, in a classic redo of their match at the siege of Megalith.
Wywyrm 1 22:40, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
The moment the ISAF fighters' missile warning alarms started buzzing, the planes immediately broke formation to evade the incoming fire, the missiles failing to track on the targeted planes' sharp turns.
"This is Mobius One, we're taking fire, all planes engage! Master arm on! Okay, good tone, fox three, fox three!"
"This is Mobius Two, tally ho on bandits, it's Yellow, I say again, we are engaged with Yellow, over!"
By this time, the Erusean fighters should be able to see the ISAF markings on the closing X-02's, and recognize that it wasn't a Neucom squadron at all. The only question left now is how many souls the Grim Reaper leading them would collect today. Orca19904 00:30, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
At this time, Yellow 13 notices the grave error he's made, and orders his squadron to cease firing. The following message was sent to Mobius:
Yellow 13: This is Yellow 13, we sincerely apoligize for attacking you. We thought you were a Neucom Squadron we were pursueing, callsign Leviathan. Supposedly they're the Foxhound Squadron that shot down those Yuke aircraft a few weeks ago. Your aircraft registered as Neucom fighters on our IFF, a simple glitch. Again, we apologize.
To illustrate his point, he ordered his squadron into a delta formation, all flying straight and level, without making any aggressive moves as they flew back towards Erusian airspace when suddenly their alarms go off. Suddenly, four of the five X-02s burst into flame, the pilots incinerated before they could eject. Yellow 13 took evasive maneuvers, turning his head to see, to his horror, that they had been ambushed by the Leviathan Team, who was firing on both Yellow AND Mobius. Leviathan 1 sent a message to Mobius 1, the latter of whom would certainly recognize him as the former Wywyrm 3.
Leviathan 1: Well well Mobius, long time, no see! I still haven't forgotten what you did to our Number 2.
Leviathan 2: We're gonna make you pay for the pain you put our friend through! We will avenge Wywyrm 2 and we will vindicate our Leader!!!
At this point, it becomes clear to the combatants that Leviathan is comprised entirely of ex-Belkan Aces from the last war, and there were out for blood.
Wywyrm 1 03:08, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
At first, Leviathan appears to be gaining the upper hand, but suddenly, out of nowhere, a lone fighter, an Su-47 to be exact, streaked in from above. Leviathan 1 got a fleeting glance of it as they passed; the paint was weathered, but he could clearly make out a black and red paint scheme with a grinning shark's mouth on the nose and a Belkan Air Force roundel on the wings. Then, to his horror, one detail told him all he needed to know; on the tailfin was the image of a dragon, and below it, the numbers "3113"...
Leviathan 1: It...It can't be...DAMMIT!!!
???: What do you think you're doing Captain Barkhorn?
Leviathan 1: I should ask the same of you, and why are you fighting against us!?
???: Because I fight for peace, while you fight to prolong a war that should have never happened. That I will never forgive...I'm sorry old friend, but I'll have to shoot you down!
Leviathan 1: You will try...but you will not succeed!
With that, Leviathans 1 and 2 turned away from the main engagement and took on the mystery fighter alone...and cue dramatic battle music from MGS4!

Hochsommerschnee 09:56, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
(Yep, it's me!)
At this time, yet another squadron enters the fray; Neucom's Lightning Squadron, but something is very wrong. Rather than joining the fight, they were running, and they were being pursued by two Erusian Squadrons, Red and Black. Most of the Leviathan Team breaks off to pursue Lightning, save Leviathans 1 and 2, who by now were both shot down by the mystery fighter, but they managed to bail out in Erusian territory; they wouldn't reappear until the final day of the war. The mystery pilot then engages the rest of Leviathan, holding them off while Lightning escaped...until an ominous message came in over the mystery pilot's radio that was intercepted by AWACS Sky Eye.
AWACS Taifun (Typhoon): This is AWACS Taifun, Wywyrm 1, dive below 1000 feet!
??? (Wywyrm 1): What the...why now!?
AWACS Taifun: Burst Missiles have been fired from Megalith, ETA 1 minute!
??? (Wywyrm 1): DAMMIT!!!
At this, Leviathan and the Erusians firewalled the throttle and retreated. Lightning, Wywyrm, Yellow an Mobius dove below 1000 feet just as the missile impacted. Megalith was now operational once again. Wywyrm 1 16:07, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
