KNF Northern Pacification Campaign - First Phase ( Set.- Dec. 822A.S.)
The Kusari Republic 1st Northern Pacification Campaign is the first military campaign performed by the Republic and it’s Kusari Naval Forces.
Following the Blood Dragon’s assault on the Planet Tomioka Colony in the Nagano system, and the increased threat of the Revolutionary forces and other criminals in the unstable northern edges of Kusari space, the KNF admiralty decided it was time to attempt a major campaign with the aim of not only curb the advances of the Blood Dragon forces, but to also make a decisive effort of ending the threat of the hidden Shogun forever.
The KNF 3rd Fleet, in charge of the northern sector of Hokkaido and the connecting systems has been designated the spearheading force of the campaign, with sporadic involvement of Kusari State Police and Kempeitai forces in assisting roles.

While the Admiralty has given priority to offensive operations in Tohoku, the assault on Nagano cannot go unanswered. Naval Forces 3rd Fleet command has assembled a small task force that is expected to be boosted in the future. This task force, spearheaded by the 8th Battlecruiser Division, seeks to disrupt any advances that the Dragons seek to perform in the Nagano system and southwards towards Rishiri, by using hit and run tactics. Command hopes that the taskforce will delay the dragons long enough while other important operations achieve success.
Yalu, name of a river in ancient Earth region of Korea, formed a natural barrier where borders of countries and several known conflicts were waged upon. The Naval Forces hope that this operation will draw a line in of the Blood Dragon expansion into the Northern Territories of Kusari.

With large operations to occur in the Tohoku system, the Tokkeitai command has alerted to the danger of leaving the Heaven’s Gate unattended by the careful watch of the Battleship Sado and it’s forces, now concentrated on taking the fight to the Blood Dragons. The Admiralty has delegated the Tokkeitai the task of containing the activity surrounding (and coming from) the Heaven’s Gate, and in this way protect the Ishikawa Sentai flanks in the system. For such operation the Naval Forces has deployed the new Mixed Carrier Special Division to act as a staging point for the Tokkeitai group, as well as support from the venerable 72nd Flight Wing from the south theater fleet.
While there are several historical references to Yashima, the Naval Command declined to identify the inspiration for the selection of the name for this Operation.
