----------------------------------------History-------------------------------------


The Abh Empire or Abh daimyo has roots that can be traced back to the Tokugawa Era in the Shinaro province. As one of the lesser noble house of japan with a great amount of land would fall under constant attack by surrounding factions. The Abh would defeat any attack that befell them. During the revolts of the Meiji Restoration the Abh aligned with the Imperial forces to stop the over through of the current government this was unpopular with most in the house. Despite all the efforts of the supporting houses the over throw took place and it had for ever changed the political landscape of Japan.
Until the Great Self Defense War of 2064. China had in the latter part of 2064 attack the island nation in a long protracted war that seen millions of casualties on both sides. Sadly the war had claimed the current government and the royal family in the first attack by a tactical nuke. With the island in chaos much of the central sections of the island had not been touched including the Shinaro province the still home of the noble house of Abh which at this time was the only still functioning noble house in the nation.
With the news of the attack and the chaos Mitsori Abh find it was time to step up and pull the country together. This was a dark time for the nation and with hope that the people would follow a noble family of the Tokugawa era was left to chance. Many had no idea what the old ways where but it seemed the time to spark the nationalism of the people. So with great courage Mitsori Abh rallied support of the people and gave them hope that seemed to be a fleeting thing in these dark days.
The war lasted a long 5 years and with the ongoing battles between the alliance and the coalition on land and in space resources where spread thin and left the nation to fight for it self. With a new found sprit in the nation Mitsori Abh was named the new emperor Japan. Mitsori managed to mix modern culture with old ways so long forgot. to mold Japan in to a great nation once again. Mitsori was just the age of 20 when he took the seat the start of the Abh Era of Japan.
In 2133 the nation lost Mitsori Abh his greatest quote was "even the greatest of oak, still has to remember it roots". The Abh had several descendent of which Sito Abh was place as the successor. Sito Abh was kind and loved ruler. In 2164 he realized that japan could no longer stand independent against threats to the country and decided the country needed to to enter the Alliance. In exchange for entrance the Alliance would set up small bases along the northren coast to protect Japan from the already mounting threat of the Coalition in the Southeast Asia region with addition of several new players joining the Coalition that had been defeated by the ever mounting expansion by China.
As time past Japan had enjoyed growing markets for there Navigational, Shielding tech and their development of particle rail guns. Several rulers had past with in the Abh and with that also the 23rd century know as humanities darkest hour. Ahb had been sent a set of plans set before them to gather as many of it citizens as possible and secretly transport them to a undisclosed location on one of Jupiter's moons. This task fell on Sakura Misuki Abh in secret Sakura manage to rally Japan into a all out effort of deceptive and cunning exodus from the planet. Leaving a massive false society in it's wake in a fear that if some how the plan was to leak that a blockade would prevent them from departing.
With her citizens safely tucked away on the moon of Jupiter with no time to spare. They find that the sleeper ships must be loaded immediately for departure. The citizens loaded the sleeper ship Kusari with no idea where it would lead them or even if it would get them away from all the madness of war.
Some 800 years had past and now the Kusari the adopted name of the citizens of Japan found them selves on a new planet> the citizens still looked to the Abh for guidance and inspiration as they did some 1000 year before with Mitsori during the Great Self Defense War. The citizens settled in and things started to return to normal. One Hundred years had past and the citizens of Kusair enjoyed peace of which they so deserved after having to leave all they had and loved. There was a happy time in the Abh Empire with the birth of two new heirs to the dynasty. Twin sisters Motoko Susubo Abh and Achika Abh they where the children of Runichi and Songa Abh .
A dark time fell on the Empire only 20 years after the birth of the two heirs factions with in the Kusari wanted to profit and plunder the citizen and gain political advantage with in the government house. Sensing a overthrow of the Royal Family. The Royal Guard of the Gensai clan who have severed the Abh family since the Tokugawa Era along with the citizens of Kusari had to sneak the Royal Family out of Kusari space. The only way that the citizens could repay the family that had protected them for all so long. It was up to them to help protect the family. With a ship laden with what they could fit the Abh find them having to leave the people that they loved so much .

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------Present Day---------------------------------------------------

After the self exile of the Abe citizens and military alike have been working in secret supporting the efforts of the Royal family to restore the old ways. It is the dedicated goal of the Abh and its self funded quasi-military to over throw the current government of Kusari to regain the empire for stability of its people. The Abh fight their wars through diplomatic alliances and cunning warfare. We are peaceful but when backed into a corner we will not wait to strike


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------Allignments-------------------------------------------------

Lawful good with all houses. With exception to the Kusari its navy and police and the Gallic and all remnants of that house. The Abh have had good relations with the houses of earth and are a long time supporter of the efforts of the once Alliance.
Civilian that the Abh trust and do business with universal shipping and has a neutral relationship with Samura industry
Unlawful or mercenary factions that the Abh trust Blood Dragons, GC ,in their efforts to over throw the government, the Abh have a neutral relationship of the enemies of the current government, they serve their purpose as a distraction to the movement of the Abh

Side Notes
Side note to dispels any debate over current RP factions like the 343 they are not exceled in the true sense of the term they are Kusari navy trapped behind enemy lines and fighting the Gallic "so called fighting the good fight" they where not cast out or escaped from a overthrow. This RP is a true exile which is a carry over form a server that the Abh where on. Also I am including a RP back story of the Abh for the Antiles Mod of the Hunters Association Vanguard server from 2007 when we moved to that mod

It was 5 years since the start of the nomad war with the humans in the Sirus System. The Abh after a long battle with high casualties had been driven from there home world of Leeds. With no where to go they were approached by a battleship. It was the nomad's. The same that had driven them from Leeds. But they soon found out that they where not the one's that where attacking them but just following them.
After awhile of running from the nomad pursuit force bent on destroying them. The Abh and their seemingly guests made it to the uranium fields of LD-14 one of the last stations left of the Abh. Lucky for them the radiation made it hard to scan the area. After they entered the field they had destroyed the trade lanes so to hide they escape route.
With what was left of their ships and people. They were faced with a problem to fight the nomad and be destroyed or run to a place that was a rumor. But was it. The nomad's began to speak. They were at first speaking in their own language. Then slowly started to speak where they could understand them.
"Abh Abh we mean you no harm" The Abh was finding this strange nomad's speaking to humans. This was unheard of. It was already strange that nomad's where in the same space as them and not shooting.
"Abh Abh this is the flag ship Shin~Teva we are political outcast of the nomad our ships are damaged and losing power. In exchange for your help to escape we will give the knowledge of our star maps. These maps will help you find the system you seek". The Abh had to decide if they were to take the offer put before them or try it on their own. They found it strange that the nomad's knew of there plans to try and find this arteries system of rumor.
After a short meeting with the ruling council they came to a decision. "Shin~Teva we of the Abh and yourself seem to have a common enemy. We have come to a decision. We will take your offer and help you flee your brother's".
Then there was another transmission from the Shin~Teva. "Abh Abh our engineers will install what weapons and engines that we have to your ships to aid in the escape so do not be shocked by our appearance". As was stated the nomad's came aboard the Abh ships. There was a fleet wide message. TO ALL ABH SHIPS THIS IS LADY ACHIKA DONOT HARM THE NOMAD'S THEY ARE HERE TO HELP US. PLEASE LEND ASSISTANCE TO THEM WE NEED EVERYONES HELP IF WE ARE TO GET OUT OF HERE. Most humans had never seen a nomad only their ships. They had only heard stories of horrific battles where the nomads seem to kill for fun. Most of the Abh kept there distance while others helped the nomad's worke to install their remaining equipment. Then when they had completed there tasks the nomad's moved to the Abh ships.
They started to move their ships for the arteries system a strange howling was coming from the ships engines. A sound that most humans came to fear. These engines were saving them instead of hunting them. As the ships pulled away the nomad pursuit force found their staging area. As the nomad closed in on the station there was a bright flash.
Everyone on the ships thought the station had been destroyed but in fact it was the Shin~Teva and its battle group that had been set for a remote self destruction. The violent explosion had ripped the pursuing nomad's apart. As time had pasted the Abh and the nomad's had come to an agreement. In exchange for safe passage to the arteries system they would help the Abh with the knowledge that they needed to fight the nomad's.
So now in the present we have Abh and nomad work as one in a common goal. Most of the Abh pilots have become hosts to the nomad's. With increased reflex and the knowledge of their nomad counterparts the Abh have become a formidable fighting force to help in the retake of the sirus systems.
Presently the Abh moved to the Rho 27 system on Planet Ashashim to develope the system. Which they will call home.

"Di Sei Aul" Abh for "Into battle"

Long live Abh

I hope this give you a insight on the level of RP we bring to a game
Hmm...First time I see something like this.
I suppose...you have chosen the KuCivilian restart, yes?

Now, aside of this, i haven't yet understood your main goal(s).
Do you aim to inRP restore your family's name? Do you want to help restore the Kusari Empire?
Also, remove the RP you did on the old Vanguard server. Ain't useful.

And, the "Abh Empire"...not a fitting name from my view.
Maybe something like "Yoshino Clan" (as an example, ofc) would fit much better.

With a little tweaks here and there, some more post formatting and faction info, it can become a potential faction.

Don't misunderstand my words-no meaning of saying it's a bad concept.
Just some useful and constructing criticzing.

Just few notes after reading the faction info:

This RP is a true exile
As far as I know 343 are expelled in true sense of the term. They are units of old Kusari Empire which are not loyal to current new democratic government, thus they fight against it (that´s why there is civil war in progress in west Kusari, mainly in Kyushu). So no, they are not just "Kusari Navy trapped behind enemy lines fightining Gallia". Thus if you plan to roleplay Kusari Exiles (by the way it was renamed to Imperial Forces I think), you will share the same role.

Also appearing out of nowhere and claiming you are those which has right to regain right to rule Kusari is weird. For the same reason, you should not claim you have good relations with other house, because you don´t have any relations with them at this moment. Good relations with other parties (except those set up by ID you use) are not made by writing them into faction info but by building them with real roleplay.

Also some formalities should be added like ZOI or faction hierarchy.
1. Import
2. Import
3. Lots of grammar mistakes and typos

Not even one connection to the actual lore of Kusari. Hideoshi rings any bells? Guess not.
"There was a happy time in the Abh Empire with the birth of two new heirs to the dynasty"

So you claim that 800 years after the sleeper ships left Sol, there was a thing called Abh Empire in Kusari... Yea... Nope. 800 years after the sleeper ships landed in Sirius, Kusari was an Empire, but not Abh. The Kusari timeline, while not exactly very accurate is still indicating that there were 2 rival factions after the settlement in Sirius. One of them, the Hideyoshi Shogunate was overthrown and formed the Blood Dragons. Since then, Kusari was lead by Samura backed shoguns. Where's Abh in this picture?

Now, you can play a small noble kusari family but claiming that much influence while missing from all the history books of Kusari is a short way to fail in whatever goals your faction might have.

Did I mention, Freelancer Discovery doesn't really like imports? You're going to need a total conversion of your story if you want to have a place in Freelancer.

last I checked. in Japanese history a shogunate was a military ruler of a province not a emperor or empire. The shogunate served a daimyo a land holder which in case would have been Hideyoshi which in turn Hideyoshi would serve the emperor or empress. That is history as it is unless you are going to change even the bounds of history in reguards of shogunate. So in part the Kusari history as you stated is spoty at best. In the case of imports and discovery not liking them I guess I can make everyone happy and play cops and robbers in the New York system which seems to be where any amount of role play happens. fall into the the stereotypical Aaaaarg I am a pirate give me you money or stop thief I am the navy here to save the day . to answer the grammar and typos English is not my native language and am self taught. Soooo if you are able to understand what was typed then the message was understood.

if a kingdom, nation state, empire, or country had it leader exiled from power by a hostel overthrow. But before the overthrow like would not the other nation have a good relationship with that leader that was exiled barring that any individual house was at war with that leader before the exile. Not much different that many country have good relationship with exiled leaders of countries in the real world but hate the new government that took over. Just watch the daily news for insight of that. Kusari Exile or Kusari Civilian yes Imperial Navy no. It seem from reading all the "history " of this server the Exile would have fit but had seem to be pushed more to a navy role and that did not fit. As far as the hierarchy that will come later. To place the effort in laying out every detail is time consuming and this was a over lay. because as just found in a short time the trolling and snarky remarks have already started in just as little as 3 comment excluding you and Zyliath and have a feeling that more of the same will most likely ensue seeing some people have a narrow view. which is fine they entitled to such thought.the server has requirements of 500 million to be a so called "cannon" faction of the server is time consuming enough in itself. so until we either see which way this is going those detail will have to wait. tho i will mention this is not a shogonate as stated in the last reply. shogonates are not a emperor and to place Hideyoshi as a emperor is not the japanese history of the feudal times. But the hierarchy is rather simple. Empress and royal guard which is the norm for a royal family. could go into non combat rolls but that would be pretty useless when this is mostly a combat sim.
The Imperial Kusari Navy is as exiled as it can get since Kusari turned into a Republic after a Kishiro backed government took over. They were even called Kusari Exiles before, recently changing their name to reflect the evolution of the storyline. Saying that 343 aren't exiles of their own house is only a sign of lack of knowledge about the faction. You could perhaps start with self-education on Disco Lore and individual lores of factions before trying to forcefully write yourself into history on your first day. That'll only get opposition.

Though we have already three sides of the civil war fighting eachother for control over Kusari, what new, original, unique content would a fourth one bring?
Hello, and welcome to Discovery Freelancer server.

Here is some feedback regarding your new concept, please take some time to read it.

This seems a bit hard to pronounce in any language I know. Is it "Abi"? "Ab"? Not sure what is the "h" supposed to do there.

May I suggest, considering the japanese language, the name "Abe"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abe_%28surname%29

(05-20-2016, 04:13 AM)ColKlink Wrote: [ -> ][Much about pre-Sirius history of "Japan"]

It is considered by the community and by the written lore that the Japan in the prequel game Starlancer, and the same Japan that launched the Kusari, are for all matters the equivalent of a post WWII, constitutional monarchy with a democratically elected government Japan of our present days. There are no standing noble titles remaining in current Japan, and even the imperial family has been defined by laws to be composed only of the existing main branch.
Furthermore, most pre-Sirian political and "historical" lore has little influence in the shaping of present Kusari, which has been shaped mostly by what it has been set by the original Freelancer game "vanilla".
After the Great Sol war and the exodus to Sirius, there would be little recollection by anyone of particular events in pre-Sirian history, with a few notable exceptions.
It is unknown if any Imperial family in Kusari would be just a continuation of the Imperial traditions of Japan, or actually the continuation of the existing dynastic imperial house of Japan. It is unlikely to be so, because the emperor would still be living in Japan in the time of Starlancer, and the sudden war and conquest of the inner planets all the way to Jupiter (I think?) would leave the chances of the Imperial Family evacuating to the Alliance holdings very slim.

(05-20-2016, 04:13 AM)ColKlink Wrote: [ -> ][Something about influence in Kusari history]

It is fine to define itself as an influential noble amongst the many of the new Kusari empire after it was settled, since the history of Kusari itself is full of holes [Why was Hideyoshi a Shogun, and why was he replaced by a Samura backed "emperor"? Was there already an emperor in Hideyoshi Shogunate's time?]

However, this new stories made by our players must not overstep the already settled cannon/lore that is passed onto us by the Game itself, such as the importance of Samura and Kishiro, the event that ended an old regime and caused the creation of the Blood Dragons, and the historical and political movements that created the Golden Chrysanthemums and the Farmers Alliance, for example.

Your last two paragraphs of history paint this family as being at some point the rulers of Kusari, and having escaped some sort of revolution, the went somewhere in exile.
Where to? How long ago was this? Would anyone remember them, and recognize them as former pretenders of the Kusari throne, like the Blood Dragons claim to be, or the Imperial forces (former Kusari Exiles) try to hold as their own right?

It is written "hostile". There are some errors here and there, so try to put your text on a program with spell checking, and checking yourself if you are writing the words you want.

Seems you have done a lot on another server, but it seems most of it is not usable/workable in our current story. I advise against trying to include this part.

Partially correct. The Shogun was indeed a military title, handed directly by the Emperor, to one who would perform the duties of the great general of the whole empire in times of crisis, in its original form.

The Daimyo were a sort or military magistrate hired by noble landlords, which in the following centuries began to evolve from simple appointed military posts to the actual lords and rulers of vast provinces of Japan, instead of the nobles formerly appointed by the Emperor.

The Shogun was in many cases the strongest of these Daimyo, who managed to convince the Imperial House to bestow the title upon him, which allowed him to assume the control of the country affairs above the other Daimyo.

[In Freelancer/Disco, it is unknown how the political system of Kusari worked before the original campaign, with mentions of a coup against a Shogun (BD), a Prefect/Governor for a system (Lord Hakkera, of Honshu), and yet another Governor (Tekagi) which ruled over an undefined territory, and had great influence on the political affairs.
Discovery Freelancer players then took up the Kusari and Japan's lore and history, and build up their own ideas about the House, such has having a true Emperor, and becoming a republic in the recent years.]

Kusari was at war with Bretonia, when Gallia appeared on the Tau region. Gallia attacked both forces, and the Kusari Naval Forces were severely beaten in the front lines, where the Emperor was overseeing the attack on Bretonia.
Meanwhile, some elements of the KNF and Kishiro politicians seized the opportunity, and made a "democratic coup", expelling the Imperial regime and declaring a Republic, which made peace with Gallia in exchange of keeping out of most of the Tau systems. Gallia accepted, but the still living Emperor did not.

The emperor and it's forces made peace with Bretonia, and decided to help them fight Gallia, in exchange for safety in Bretonia for a time. Many years later, the Imperial Forces managed to recover some strength, and go back to Kusari to reclaim their throne. That is the current situation.
Meanwhile, the Kusari Republic also made peace wit Bretonia, but it is still considered by everyone to be just a puppet state of the bigger Gallia.

The Kusari Exiles are composed mainly by the Naval Forces that are loyal to the Emperor, and have been with him since the war in the Tau systems. They are for all cases a Navy, characterized by their spirit of Imperial restoration, therefore an Imperial Navy.

I understand that some people might want to perform the role of a important or noble family that supports the emperor, but those groups would currently be very minor in terms of population, so they have no presistent ID or npc representation, other than Samura or Kishiro economical supporters.
There is a large organization that would like among other things to return the emperor to the power by force. These would be the outlawed Farmers Alliance, considered criminals by the Republic of Kusari.



I hope this long list of information is useful to you.
ok there is not need to insult people as in some way being ignorant to the server history. i make one comment of the 343 and the gates of hell open. i may be new to this sever but had been playing freelancer since it is release of 2003 and before that starlancer and most likely star citizen when ever they decide to release it. i only was stating for most part the 343 did not fit the rp we wanted and even in you own wiki it state that the exile has been shifted to a navy which again did not fit the rp. but i can see clearly there is no room for new ideas in less it fit in what the disco editors have made cannon via the server and the offical faction have made. so i can see why it mostly cops and robbers as rp here there is not room for diplomatic rp in this game fighting a war by surrogates. sure we not fit the typical "role' of kill re spawn and kill again. sure we kill outcast and lane hackers and so on so on. pointing out the navy exiled from Kusari still not fit can at any point people understand that we do not want to rp as navy. which again brings up the cop and robber point. maybe i do not understand how server you have work in the rp.but i will have to say i never seen such a inflexible group as this. also did not every faction write them self in the lore of this server. this is not firstt day this is the first that we have posted such information but by is not our first day. also i would like to state i am japanese and have only played games that reflect the culture even tho something that culture may be a bit twisted. if this is so much of a problem this faction forget it i will just fly around in a pointless daze shooting things thank you for opening my eyes in this matter
Before I write anything, don't take this as trolling or an attack on you and your faction, it's just some friendly advice.

Like stated in the post above, you seem to have had your RP developed on another server or mod. But here on the Disco main server, there has never been mention of such a royal family such as yours (Abh). Furthermore, your faction doesn't have a tie with an npc faction (freelancers aren't exactly a faction). It has never ended well when a random freelancer faction appeared and tried to "force" themselves into Disco lore. It usually creates hostility towards such a faction.

Now when I say force yourselves into lore I mean insert your faction into the past of Disco, you are more then welcomed to change the future.

It might be better to make your faction into a Kusari noble family as someone has already mentioned, a noble family that saw an opportunity in the 3-way civil war to try and seize the throne for themselves.
