And in Liberty and in all the other houses it's the same.
If this chain is changing will change RP. But it changes it completely. Navy in any home is not allied to quasi-legal organizations, because they in turn are associated with crime. That was until Hogosha. Just breaking the chain makes a Navy quasi-legal organization becasue Hogosha is allied with pirates.
If there is change of Hogosha legality - change their allies like in any other House. Gallia has same diplomacy hierarchy.
Adding to this, I'll mention that the whole point of a quasilegal organization is that they minimize contact with the law when at all possible. This prevents the legals from acknowledging them and drawing unwanted questions, and allows the quasilegals to operate freely as long as they remain discreet.
The Hogosha have decided that they no longer need to operate in the shadows, and are happy to flaunt their newfound influence by operating an armed military outpost right next to planet New Tokyo. I see this as akin to the Italian Mafia buying a forty story building in Manhattan, covering it with fifty caliber automated turrets, and setting them to kill anyone who isn't wearing pinstripes and a hat. There is a limit to the amount of ignorance any police force can feign.
I feel that I may be contributing to a thread-hijacking, and insofar as I've had a role in that I apologize. But when four or five guys in a communications channel thread get to decide that Itabashi has been 'RPed Properly', I begin to wonder about the direction Kusari is headed in.
