Whale Wars; Operation Maru

Plot

2016, five years after Japan ended it's whale season early, they sent the Nisshin Maru and a fleet of ships out to replenish the whale meat and oil demands. Although the original crew has retired, they are as dangerous as ever. Japan will stop at nothing to continue the hunt. Their goal is to kill and harvest 750 minke whales and 50 fin whales. The crews are prepared to use they're water cannons on any ship or outboard boats that dare try to interfere with the whaling.

Due to the rise of Japanese whalers, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has rejoined. The original crew has disbanded since the illegal whaling stopped. So the new SSCS is the new generation of anti-whalers. They will not stop until the Atlantic waters are free of whalers. Some of the crew are the relatives of the original crew, though most of them are volunteers.

 

Setting

In the icy waters of the unforgiving Atlantic, the risk is high. Almost once a week, a storm rolls in, quite a risk to both parties. Massive waves often rock the ships. Some waves are 15-footers in stormy weather. Many creatures roam the sea, but usually only fin and minke whales are seen, and hunted. Huge icebergs dot the water, though most of the icebergs are under water. Growlers are also a common sight, they are mini icebergs. They can be pushed aside by big steel ships like the Nisshin Maru, but can cause damage to smaller ships like The Angry Hornet.

Some parts of the ocean has sea ice covering it, that only ice class ships can cross.

Weapons

 

Butyric acid: A foul-smelling substance that the SSCS throw upon the decks if the whalers if they are butchering a whale on deck. The butyric acid has a foul smell and taste, causing infected whale meat to become worthless.

 

Prop-fouler: A prop fouler is a long strand of rope, steel cables, and buoys that are placed in front of a Japanese ship by the SSCS to get tangled in the propellers of the whaling ship, and stop them.

 

Laser dazzler:The dazzler is non-lethel weapon. It is a laser used by the SSCS to temporarily blind or disorient the Japanese crew members, causing them to not be able to work temporally.

 

Tracking Device: A tracking device is attached to the side of the whaler's ship. The SSCS ship's radar beeps whenever a enemy ship comes within 40 miles of the ship if it has been successfully attached. The devices can only be deployed be a outboard boat,

 

Methocel (Slippery Bomb): Used by the SSCS. Methocel is a non-toxic substance that is thrown onto the opposing ship, when mixed with sea water, it is nearly impossible to walk upon the ship's deck.

 

Outboard boats: The SSCS uses smaller, faster boats to get ahead of the whalers to sometimes set a prop-fouler or to throw butyric acid. They both are on The Golden Retriever. The outboard boats are The Sea-runner and The Minke.

 

Flashbang Grenades: Used only by the whalers, same results as a dazzler.

 

Water Cannons: When the SSCS gets to close to a whaling ship, they unleash a blast of water from the water canons. Getting hit will knock you off you feet, and possibly the boat.

 

Harpoons: The whalers use them to kill the whale. At the end of each harpoon is a rope so the whale is not lost. If the whale doesn't die instantly, a second harpoon may be fired or the whale is shot with a rifle until dead.

Hi! I'm Moonbeam22 and I will be critiquing your roleplay. I must say, I am very impressed. I have read through the post twice, and seen no spelling/grammar errors. The only thing to suggest is possibly a map (certainly not required) to give the roleplayers a better visual of the territory they are playing in, and adding to the plot and setting. They are pretty short, and could use a bit more detail. Otherwise, you don't need to change much. The descriptions of the ships, all the positions, and the weapons are both creative and accurate (yes, I have watched Whale Wars before). The little details really add to it. I will look through it again, and PM a mod. if I think it is ready to be moved! smile.gif
