Shipnaming

ID/IFF: Hogosha, of course.

Following the downfall of the second era Hogosha Association in spring 825 A.S. , the majority of the Hogosha syndicates were left to themselves once again. Without a body of control, communication among the Hogosha became sporadic, so did joint operations – a fact which would ultimately weaken the Hogosha as a whole sooner or later.
With the war-torn times of 826 A.S., the Hogosha Alliance was formed. Several larger syndicates sat down together, trying to figure out how to secure the Hogosha's stance within Kusari further and keep Kusari internally stable. Additionally, the syndicates settled on planning to expand far outside of Kusari’s realm, creating new alliances and granting the Hogosha a stronger foothold, not just within Kusari.
The Hogosha Alliance’s major syndicates chairman come together in the Shiroyama District on New Tokyo. A district almost exclusively owned by the Hogosha, located next towards the governmental districts of New Tokyo. Within a secure complex, the Hogosha Aliiance holds weekly meetings, discussing their next steps for Kusari and individual wishes and demands from the syndicates.

The current major syndicates are:
- The Koshijiya-rengo
- The Majima Family
- The Sumiyoshi Alliance
- The Nikkyo Consortium

While each of the syndicates has their respected claims and their own individual relations to other groups, the chairman of each Syndicate agreed on a code of conduct for all members of the Alliance to follow.

Additionally, the Hogosha Alliance agrees upon a general diplomatic stance towards other groups and organizations. Some of the syndicates personal views or focuses regarding other groups can be different from the general stance.

General Syndicate Structure

The Koshijiya-rengo (Kr)

The Koshijiya-rengo is the smallest of the Alliance's syndicates and was formed only several years ago. With the opening of trade between the Kingdom of Gallia and the Empire of Kusari, the Koshijiya-rengo sensed an opportunity to expand into another house, something the Hogosha were finding trouble with due to the presence of Junkers within all other major colonies. The Koshijiya-rengo are pioneers in the Gallic market, wishing to extend economic relations with the Gallic underworld within the nearby future. Holding the major grip on the Gallic - Kusari connection, would grant the Koshijiya-rengo a lot of income and thus control within the Hogosha organization.
They consider the Rishiri passage as their most valuable connection to Gallia. A view with resulted in high investments into security assets for the Hokkaido, Rishiri and the Nagano system in an attempt to get the local Golden Chrysanthemums and Blood Dragons under control. Due to the threat posed by the Blood Dragons siege of Tomioka in regards of the Rishiri passage's stability, the Koshijiya-rengo actively joined Samura's war efforts. To this date, they are the only syndicate of the Hogosha Alliance that declared themselves an active part of the war effort, almost neglecting any other business besides the war efforts. Their radical involvement in the Nagano conflict and lack of focus leaves holes within Koshijiya-rengo's diplomacy. A lack of connection to the Corsairs or Gaians, as well as a mostly indifferent view of "not caring" towards outsiders, except Rheinlands recent intrusion, are most notable. The lack of connections is leaving the Koshijiya-rengo with barely any access to allied technology. Something they make up for with their strong ties to Samura Heavy Industries and thus a secure income of money.

The Majima Family (Mf)

The Majima Family is a middle-sized Hogosha syndicate with its origin on Planet Kyushu. Formed in 783 A.S. it is currently in its second generation after a rapid, unexplained growth around the time of the Nomad War. Led by a questionable personality, Ryuu Majima, the Majima Family always focused on keeping a strong grip on their turf. Laying claim to Shikoku, Kyushu and Tottori system as well as the bordering Taus, they often got into skirmishes with the smugglers and other troublemakers.
In the past, the Majima Family entered the war against Bretonia and Gallia, making the Family renowned for actively siding with the Imperial forces whenever needed. Upon the return of the Imperials during the civil war, they've undermined operations of the State Police on Kyushu's surface, easing the path for the Imperial return. With the successful creation of the reformed Empire, all crime charges held against the Majima Family were dropped, their reckless methods continuing – a power-hungry game over influence and money still being played on the surface of Kyushu. Following the success of their service for the Emperor, the Majima Family's financial abilities grew quickly, following the new monetary means huge investments into the real estate business and pleasure-sites were undertaken, opening new business opportunities to the already existing huge presence in the night club and entertainment industry. Decks on the Golden Dragon Casino are used frequently by the Majima Family to hold Oicho-Kabu tournaments. The Majima Family also holds shares of the Tottori Race Tracks, being renowned for some of the most dangerous and insane races held there.
Recently, the Majima Family, despite agreeing on joining the Alliance, expressed the wish to expand their territory into the New Tokyo and Hokkaido system. A demand which found resistance among the Nikkyo Consortium as it is seen as a direct provocation towards the Silvereye Dragons, the honored Syndicate which led the Association through two eras. Furthermore the Nikkyo Consortium declared their wish for expansion a danger for the stable balance between the syndicates.

The Majima Family follows strictly Ryuu Majima's personal opinion, which results in a slightly different diplomacy than the rest of the Association.

The Sumiyoshi Alliance (Sa)

The Sumiyoshi Alliance was formed out of several small syndicates which later on fused together into two mid-sized syndicates; the Ishikawa-ikka and the Nakano-kai. The Alliance exists since several decades, having always denied cooperation with other syndicates, it came as a surprise when they decided to join the Hogosha Alliance.
The Sumiyoshi Alliance claims the Honshu system and the Sigma Cluster as their home. As the syndicate the closest to the Artifact source, the Corsairs, they enjoy not having their sovereignty being threatened by other syndicates. They profit from a constant income of money from the Artifact trade. The Sumiyoshi Alliance considers Kamakura base as their major launch point and is renowned for strikes against Gas Miner operations within Okinawa and Sigma-13.
Overall the Sumiyoshi Alliance follows the Alliance’s diplomatic standing, with a few exceptions. The Sumiyoshi Alliance puts the Hogosha's ties to the Corsairs above every other faction, seeing Samura as not more than a source of money who pays them for disrupting the Gas Miners. With the Rheinland invasion into Kusari space, the Sumiyoshi Alliance starts to look towards political oppositions within Rheinland, hoping to establish themselves a place within Rheinland's black market and weakening the Rheinwehr's efforts in any way possible. With the Sigma Cluster being the lifeline of the Sumiyoshi Alliance, they consider themselves in an open conflict with the Gas Miner Guild, the Outcasts and Rheinland's authorities over the stability of the Artifact flow through the Sigmas.

The Nikkyo Consortium (Nk)

The Nikkyo Consortium was founded by the Hogosha Alliance. The Consortium was founded as the special operatives of the Hogosha Alliance, handling tasks seen unfit to be handled by a syndicate individually. They consist of chosen members of the other syndicates; members being only accepted when at least two of the three large syndicates approve their application. Members of the Consortium are usually seen all over Kusari and the Alliance's Zones of Operation.
Tasks of the Nikkyo Consortium involve but are not limited to:

High-value Cargo Protection (eg. weapons of mass destruction, semi-active Artifacts, captured enemy personnel etc.)
Assassination of any targets, regardless of their affiliation, requested to be removed by the Alliance as a whole.
Find and rescue operations.
Kidnapping.
Money laundering.
Diplomatic tasks of highly sensitive nature.

The Nikkyo Consortium's headquarter is rumored to be located in close proximity to both the Shiroyama District and a building belonging to the Kempeitai on the surface of New Tokyo.
