霜江 Shimoe (frost bay)

Hiraku (啓久) Shimoe (a.k.a. WesternPeregrine)
Male, 28 years old



Hiraku was born on planet Junyo, in the Shikoku System. The oldest of 3 brothers, he was the son of a manager of a fishing and commodity transportation worker in his homeworld. With his younger brother and sister, he helped the family business while dreaming of one day going to explore the stars above.

A few years before he was eligible for military service, the War for the Tau Systems occurred. Hiraku's father, unfit for combat duty but having knowledge of cargo systems, was assigned as a crewman for a supply ship for the Kusari front, where supposedly it wouldn't come to harm. However, the unexpected strike from Galia into the Tau Systems caught the Kusari Navy by surprise. Losing track of the fate of the ship, it's unknown if the father managed to escape to Bretonia with the Emperor's fleet, or if he was lost on the onslaught.

After the war, feeling no interest in enrolling for the navy, or doing corporate work, he headed for Deshima station, and started working with the Bounty Hunters Guild inside Shikoku and the neighboring systems. Having a little more freedom than the foreign bounty hunters, he traveled all over Kusari, and established a good reputation with the Kusari police forces.

For a while he was an independent contractor for Kusari Police in Shikoku, providing protection to the Fuchu Prison complex, capturing of Blood Dragons and Golden Chrysanthemum terrorists, and relaying information regarding smugglers and foreign criminal elements. He also flown occasionally with the bounty hunters to the Galileo and Kepler Systems, fighting against Lane Hackers and Rogues.
More recently he came under the leadership of a mysterious man with connections to the Hogosha, and begun working for the one known has The Fisherman as a bodyguard and Hogohsa enforcer.

Other than a certain dislike for Galian forces, he cares little for politics of home and abroad, being indifferent to the Shogun, the Emperor or the Kusari Republic. By a series of contacts in his planet and work, he managed to create a not so unfriendly relationship with the Hogosha members and Farmer's Alliance activists, so long as they're not striking within Kusari space.

Katsuo (勝雄) Shimoe
Male, 25 years old



Katsuo was born on planet Junyo, in the Shikoku System. The middle of 3 brothers, he was the son of a manager of a fishing and commodity transportation worker in his homeworld. With his brother and sister, he played around the fishing platforms and watched the spaceships of many origins that landed on the spaceport near their home.

In his youth, the War for the Tau Systems occurred. Katsuo's father, unfit for combat duty but having knowledge of cargo systems, was assigned as a crewman for a supply ship for the Kusari front, where supposedly it wouldn't come to harm. However, the unexpected strike from Galia into the Tau Systems caught the Kusari Navy by surprise. Losing track of the fate of the ship, it's unknown if the father managed to escape to Bretonia with the Emperor's fleet, or if he was lost on the onslaught.

The disappearance of his father saddened him greatly, and hoped that the war would not come to claim more of his family. With the departure of his brother, and the company business taken over by their uncle, Katsuo's future seemed as uncertain as ever.

With the foundation of the Kusari Republic, things took a turn for the better. Katsuo, now a young adult, spotted a recruitment drive of the Kusari Navy. Feeling attracted to the ideals of a government of the people and the chance to defend Kusari from another bloody conflict, he decided to enroll in the Navy flight academy, in hope to become a fighter pilot. Bidding farewell to his mother, his uncle and his younger sister Mizuki, he departed Planet Junyo.

Having received his training at Battelship Sado and served for about a year on Battleship Myoko fighter wing. After some restructuring of the Shikoku naval divisions he was assigned to the Secondary Fleet 6th Mobile Division, which allows him some freedom of activity inside the home systems.

He applied and was successfully transfered to the Kusari Navy main taskforce, with the rank of Nito Kaii (2nd Lieutenant) where he is sent on operations across all systems in Kusari. In the end 820, he was promoted to Iito Kaii (1st Lieutenant).

In early 821A.S. he was quickly promoted to Santo Kaisa (Lieutenant-Commander), and was assigned to Squadron Leader of one of the squadrons based on the KDS-Matsumoto in the Hokkaido system. A short time later he received yet another promotion to Nitto Kaisa (Commander).

Mizuki (美月） Shimoe
Female, 24 years old



Mizuki Shimoe is the youngest of three brothers who lived on Planet Junyo, in the Shikoku System. A daughter of a fishing and transportation manager, she grew up learning some things related with cargo transportation and commerce networks in Kusari.

In her youth, the War for the Tau Systems occurred. Mizuki's father, unfit for combat duty but having knowledge of cargo systems, was assigned as a crewman for a supply ship for the Kusari front, where supposedly it wouldn't come to harm. However, the unexpected strike from Galia into the Tau Systems caught the Kusari Navy by surprise. Losing track of the fate of the ship, it's unknown if the father managed to escape to Bretonia with the Emperor's fleet, or if he was lost on the onslaught.

The disappearance of her father had an impact on her in the same way has it affected her brothers. Under her uncle's guidance, she continued to learn about trading and navigation. When she became an adult, she told her mother and uncle that she wanted to head into space like her brothers. The departure of her older brother Hiraku into freelancing and of her brother Katsuo to the Navy had put some strain on the family relations. Furthermore, Mizuki's desire to become a trader require an higher investment for it to be successful. Mizuki uncle decided to enroll her on Kasaoka Trade and Interstellar Relations University in Honshu. The move came as a surprise to the people known of the family, because most of the business in Planet Junyo belonged to the Samura keiretsu, while the university was associated to Kishiro.

In the years that she was in the university, she came in contact with many of her future colleagues and competitors in her trade, elements of the new Kishiro backed political circles in the Honshu system, and members of the GMG. Trough the connections of her brothers she had some news of the Kusari Navy developments and the situation in her home system.

Graduating from the university, she was hired by a Kishiro transport subsidiary, and made some runs inside Kusari space, to provide support to her family business at home.. After a few months she was accepted into the Kishiro ranks and took command of a transport called Kishiro|Tengu, and assists in helium-3 extraction operations regularly.

She rose up in the ranks due to her diligence and business tact, and in 821 was promoted to Director, and put in charge of several commercial projects for Kishiro.

In a corporate reorganization a few months however, she was removed from her position and sent back to the shipping divisions. She decided to head back out as an affiliated Kishiro trader and miner, working on her own.
