Konnichiwa, Taii-Shogun.

I apologise for my long absence, it required some time for me to reconsider my methods and opportunities they open, to unveil a new path for Dragons to take. The existing political regimes have outlived themselves, becoming unfeasible to utilise within the current state of affairs, where the voice of people note even being muted, but simply not being heard, overwhelmed by propaganda.
The people have their voice, but sadly, it fell deaf on ears.

Thus, this should be one of the points at which we should strike. To make people's voice sound... different. Louder. To actually attract their attention. While i already have a couple of people that might support me, but i might need to assemble more people under my lead.
As such - i am hereby requesting a Letter of Marque from The Shogunate granting me the privelegies of an appointed Daimyo, with a remote system to establish Clan's base of operations at some remote system, that has some direct contact with Kusari core worlds. Sigma-21, Galileo and Kepler would fit that task perfectly. I shall provide you with the proposition of what i have in mind.

Clan Ando.

Clan Daimyo: Formally - Akemi "Homura" Ando, actually - no appointed Daimyo, power is focused in the hands of The Council.

While Asai Clan is considered a direct successor of all Augus assets and achievements - Clan Ando is Augus' successor by spirit, as it is being found by Homura, whom by the time happened to be Sakurai Augus closest ally - and her advisor on even the most sensitive matters, while also standing in command of Augus flagship, Kirishima, and reviewing the operations on Sendai.

The 'disappearance' of Daimyo Augus left Homura stranded, she simply vanished into shadows, once again reconsidering her plans - before taking her next step. Few months later, Akemi Ando gained her audience with The Shogun, where she encouraged the usage of NEMP payloads Sendai should've still had in possession to bolster the Dragon's efforts in Nagano, and moving her own assets there to ensure her initial plan succeeds, and no intrusion will mess up her plans, and she will soon walk into the gardens of Tomioka.
Meanwhile, Homura looked to systematize her efforts, give them a new course of action, and to act more directly.

Clan Ando have became an emphasis of those efforts, rallying the people under the banner of those who seek different view on their Home, and it's future as The Democratic Republic of Kusari.

---

Short-term objectives:

• Gain more supporters, both independent and within the ranks of the Blood Dragons.
  
• Establish the Clan's permanent base of operations, establish the permanent supply contracts for the modular installation.
  
• Establish the Clan's democratic model of society led by The Council.
  

---

Long-term objectives:

• Establish The Democraticy Republic as the new political system of Kusari.
  
• Acquire the samples of new technologies and establish capapibilities of reproducing them within the Clan.
  
• Liberate Sakurai Augus from her misery.

Clan Ando.

Overcoming the limits of imagination,
Shaping a better future beyond their sight.

Peace, being the distant dream it is, comes inevitably, and goes hand in hand with justice.
Cursed be the war.
