Kurosaki & Akane Shipping - bringing goods to your door be they near or far
At a young age, Ichigo and Aiko were abandoned. They first met at the adoption agency, just before their new libertonian parents retrieved them, and took them home to Pennsylvania. While growing up, they became good friends, and were taken on regular trading flights with their foster father. over this time, they decided to follow in their foster-father's footsteps.Ever since they set out into space, decided they would set up a trading company, they travelled to the Colorado asteroid field. Armed with only a starflier with two justice MK1's, they drilled the asteroids for the precious silver. using the silver, they bought themselves a haulage vessel, the rhino, and an escort vessel, the startracker. Using these two vehicles, they built up their credit reserves, and founded thier business, which they decided to name Kusari & Akane shipping.
Starting in Liberty, they found their business bombarded by pirates, and as such, decided to start a splinter group in the company, thus the escort section. the construction of this escort section allowed them to arrange convoys, and further increase profits. They decided jointly that the person to hold control over the escort division would be Aiko, while Ichigo would maintain control over the whole business. though he is inadvertantly in control of the escort section, he gives Aiko free reign, and leaves it to him, except in times of great need.
The Code of Conduct of All workers of Kurosaki & Akane Shipping
these rules are to be upheld continuously throughout the company, and if broken, we reserve the right to exert punishment
* Do not wrongfully attack citizens of the four houses. you may retaliate if attacked by them.
* In the rare event that one of our ships attacks you, take a photo and run. I would require the photo as evidence as well as both sides telling me what happened, so as to exert punishment, if it is minor, report it to others if it is major, or let them free if it was just an accident
* If you are attacked by a pirate, and that pirate begs you to let them leave, do so.
* If you are pirated, pay up unless under escort, however, if the escort is destroyed, pay up. if you cannot afford to pay, contact me, and ask the pirate to contact me, so I can pay them for you. this does however mean that all profits you make must be sent to me, accumulating to the amount you had to pay the pirate.

//Now for the KAS| out-of-roleplay rules and restrictions. Six of 'em. Count 'em well.
1. Know Discovery's server rules by heart and obey them. I have a fairly high tolerance threshold for rules violations directed against me, but much less so for rules violated by fellow factionees.
2. No OOC or OORP chat in system chat. Self-explanatory. None whatsoever.
3. OOC may be used in private or group chat when marked appropriately (//), when no in-character alternative presents itself.
4. If one of your characters is sanctioned and I believe that whatever happened to result in a sanction genuinely merited such a response, you're out of here.
5. Listen to your superiors (unless they're drunk or silly) and follow their instructions.
6. Take it easy. Do not over-stress yourself because you keep getting pirated. It is how they make a living.
//This is our preliminary faction document. Feedback greatly appreciated! Contribute! Voice your opinions! Comments of all sorts and constructive criticism welcome!
Escort Section:
Kurosaki & Akane Shipping takes pride in maintaining a selection of fighter craft for use as escorts for their convoys as they travel throughout the houses of Sirius. Whilst these fighter craft are not used to hunt down pirates they can and will engage any hostile threat that threatens the saftey of any Kurosaki & Akane Shipping vessel. Without the maintenance of their prized Escort division, the convoys would be pirated often, and as a result, their prices would rise, and the company would ultimately go out of business. The following is a list of escort ships and the equipment that can be used with them.
Escort Ships:
"Saishi" Kushan Heavy Fighter: Whilst not the best looking fighter out on the market the Saishi fits the role perfectly as an escort craft. With five guns providing a large supply of firepower and decent armour and shielding this fighter provides the backbone for the Kurosaki & Akane Shipping escort fleet.
"Touketsu" Very Heavy Fighter: When heading into the more dangerous areas of Sirius serious firepower and protection is required and that is where the Touketsu comes in. With a more powerful power source and superior armour and shielding you will always find one Touketsu guarding the more valuable covoys of Kurosaki & Akane Shipping.
Allowed weapons:
Civilian class weapons
Liberty class weapons
All avaliable mines, torpedoes and missiles
Codenames are not allowed on any vessel.
Escort Pilot Ranks:
Pilot 3rd Class (Unlimted Number)
Pilot 2rd Class (Unlimited Number)
Pilot 1st Class (Unlimited Number)
Flight Leader (One Max.)
Squadron Leader (One Max.)
Escort Section Leader (One Max.)
