' Wrote:Is Chugoku supposed to be secret though? They are building that jumpgate to it and such. The NB<->S-13 hole could probably go though, and the Chugoku hole being moved seems like a nice idea.
I don't remember where it was (possibly the rules subforum) but I have a wall of text somewhere explaining the deal with Chugoku.
Basically, Samura suspects that there's a BD base in Chugoku, and made up a story about it being a good place to mine. They don't actually know, they're taking a big gamble and the fact that the BD are so insistent on blowing the thing apart keeps them from giving up. The entire purpose of the JG process is to get the KNF into Chugoku- but the KNF don't know that. The KNF are still unaware as to the existence of the JH in Hokkaido due to diligent patrols of the BD in that cloud, along with its convenient comm-jamming properties. Check the rumors on Kyoto for clarification on that. As for the GC that use that JH, their use of it is regulated (BD and GC are allies of convenience mostly, the BD absolutely despise their cardamine use) and if anyone so much as said a word then the Blood Dragons would tear them apart, along with whoever they talked to, along with everyone that person talked to. Kusari is not a forgiving place. And no, not all the GC know of that jumphole. That would be silly.
The Honshu JH is fairly well hidden, and the KNF did the BD a favor by walling in Kensai- they don't patrol the cloud because they already have a minefield. The S-13 JH is known to the GMG, but they keep that a nice secret... the GMG and BD help each other and have become bound to continue doing so out of a sort of mutual blackmail. If the GMG stop funding/training the BD, the BD release info on their transactions to the Kusari gov't, and the KNF blows the hell out of the GMG. If the BD stop doing the odd hit for the GMG, then the GMG sell out the location of Chugoku, and the KNF blows the hell out of the BD.
TL;DR
So, to recap, everyone with a decent grasp on recent construction projects knows that Samura believes the Chugoku system has great wealth in it, and because of this they are building a jumpgate to the system. Everyone except the BD, select GMG, and select GC don't know how to get there. The BD, GC, and select GMG know that there is a Blood Dragon base in the system, and select Samura officials are fairly confidant that it exists but do not know for certain.
EDIT: Yah, I know you guys don't cap whore (even though in RP you can, and almost should... O.o) but then again there isn't a lot of Order to fight in Sigma-13... or, there shouldn't be. Because of the amount of pirates, BH lollercruisers, and just people in general, there will sometimes be an Osiris or four in the area "destroying the Wild"... by camping Yanagi. And I'm glad that there are a couple of people who go through Frankfurt, but then again, look at E). You sure that doesn't have something to do with it, even on a subconscious level? If so, then I truly applaud you, you are one of a handful in this server of ~9000.
