Here is a part of Kansei Research Station's inforcard:
Kansei is a highly prestigious posting for Kishiro scientists fresh out of New Tokyo University, though the security measures can be rather daunting, and the Kusari Naval Forces have constant patrols coupled with heavy weapons platforms and the defensive minefield. The Blood Dragons pose the biggest threat to the facility, frequently launching raids, though the HOGOSHA and even the Golden Chrysanthemums have been known to attack it on occasion.
First, it seems that Kusari is more surprised about the GC attacking it than the Hogosha attacking a military installation run by Kishiro. Second, it looks bad for Blood Dragon players who claim they're best buddies of Kishiro, since they well, y'know, attack their most prestigious installation a lot it seems.
I'm wondering, as a sort of veteran Hogoshan player, why would we attack Kansai, and why would the Blood Dragons do so as well, if they're so close to Kishiro? If they were this close of them, they could just ask for them to share some of their technologies or something. I'm really not sure about the Dragon part, but I'm really confused about why would the Hogs attack it.
Well i always thought that the Hogosha were firmly on Samura's side, and with the rivalry being so deep-rooted in Kusari, i would think that they wouldnt be above using third parties to attack eachothers stations, especially valuable research stations, which could lead to one side gaining a corporate advantage
While the GC i would immagine not being much interested in the station, as destroying it would not really further their cause, hence the strangeness.
First both Kishiro and Samura are loyal to the kusari krown.
And the Farmer Alliance is next to owned by Samura, the Hogosha might prefere them just because Samura is the more traditional and nationalistic corporation, things the Hogosha value, while Kishiro is more modern, and open to outsiders like the GMG and even Liberty Corporations.
The GC are supposed to be a small group with little support, so ist unlikely they can pull together the forces for a big attack on a heaviely guarded installation. Both the GC and the Blooddragons might prefere to hit on Samura, because that corporation embodys all they hate and fight, but Kishiro is only little better (in their eyes), and may even be spared, if they pay a ransom.

Actually, if you check at the roots of the Hogoshas, Samura created them as a mean of getting rid of competition, but I still doubt they'd attack a military station financed by Samura's rival.
