BHG ZOI

[BaconSoda]

Yes, I might be convinced that BHG could bring some order in Kusari.
There is simply not enough KNF, and no mercs at all, and KNF is issuing a bounty on all pirates in kusari space for a while now.
I don't think many people collected it by now.

I think that bounty has been closed, actually...

It was closed after someone noticed that BHG were supposed to be banned from Kusari. However, Jinx makes a good point about their stretched resources (even if the GC aren't terribly professional and the Blood Dragons are few in number- ostensibly, anyway) even with Samura running the government they might want more people. It doesn't help that one of the most, if not the most efficient and deadly mercenary group in Sirius, the Mandalorians, are on the side of Kusari's foes- it doesn't seem too unreasonable that the Kusari gov't would give them a chance to switch sides, then after they inevitably refuse, put a massive bounty on them (Samura has plenty of cash for it). Paying mercenaries for strikes in Bretonia doesn't seem all that unreasonable either. Letting them handle the Blood Dragons and Golden Chrysanthemums too is pushing it- they may need human resources, but they still have pride. Kusari's point of view holds that the Bretonians have allied with terrorists and other assorted bad guys, and don't really deserve any mercy or honor- they certainly haven't been handing it out (according to Kusari, anyway).

The Blood Dragons, however, are an honorable foe, Kusari people dispossessed by honorable conflict. While they might not get mercy, they are still proud Kusari warriors and do not deserve to die uselessly against the unstoppable tide of outsiders. Golden Chrysanthemums are an abomination to the natural order (again, according to Kusari anyway) but they represent an ideological threat rather than a military one- if the people of Kusari must rely on the other houses or assorted outsiders to show that the Kusari way, specifically the part about male dominance, is superior, well, that logic isn't terribly sound. I can't see Kusari hiring out to kill Golden Chrysanthemums- for all their propaganda about them being simple terrorists, they embody the idea that tradition might be wrong. Defeating the warriors is meaningless- it is defeating the idea that matters.
