History
The Kempeitai is the Kusari Empire’s secret police and covert intelligence agency. The Kempeitai was first established centuries ago as the military police arm of the Kusari Naval Forces. Over time, it acquired additional secret police and military intelligence duties until, eventually, the original military police role became the organization’s secondary function.
In 817, under the Republic, the Kempeitai was separated from the KNF and established as its own separate agency. Since the end of the civil war and the reestablishment of the Empire, the Kempeitai has been reorganized and is once again being deployed to gather intelligence on the Emperor’s enemies, both outside and within Kusari.

Yes, I realize that calling it a faction when it's just me is a bit much. This is how I did it when I founded Bowex, though, and I'm hoping there's other people here interested in doing this thing with me.
If anyone has any suggestions or comments, post them here. I'm all ears.
