The Farmers Alliance was originally a Kusari political organisation that lobbied and fought for farmers rights, before turning to more direct action against their principal enemy, Synth Foods. While originally championed by Samura, their overt attacks on foreign shipping have left them officially branded as terrorists. Despite this, Samura continues to support the organisation through their ties with the Hogosha, often using them as mercenaries in return for logistical support.

Rumors

Kamisu Hideout I miss flying, all I do now is look at one of these new scanner screens, and pick out targets as they pass through the Taus. What I really want is to be back out in a fighter again. We get all of our supplies from Kabukicho in the Kanto Field of the New Tokyo system. Those Hogosha seem dishonest, but they are friends of Samura, so I guess they must be okay. It is amazing what the equipment Samura gave us can do. We can see convoys coming all the way from Tau-31. By the time a convoy gets to Kyushu, we are ready to pounce. Samura makes a good amount of profit from the food we grow on the planet. They take that profit and give it back to the Farmers in supplies and equipment for our efforts. Kabukicho Depot The Kanto Field gives us a good position from which to launch attacks against incoming Synth Food convoys from Shikoku. We will be victorious and force them back to Liberty. I've heard, though, that some Alliance members are also attacking Kishiro ships, which doesn't surprise me now they have a hold over the government. We seem to have lots of weapons and supplies. We also have very accurate information on targets that need to be hit, and they aren't always Synth Foods. I don't know where our leadership gets the information -- it is not my place to know too much. I'm on supply duty. We're to pick up our basic needs for Kagoshima, just across the Jump Hole in Kyushu. I was an unemployed farmer in Kyushu before I joined up. Samura was good to us through all the tough times -- until Synth Foods came along. Then, everything changed. Now I'm here with these criminal thugs. Kagoshima Depot We are the unemployed farmers of the garden planet of Kyushu. Our families have toiled for generations, producing Food for all of Kusari. Synth Foods has destroyed our traditional way of life in 10 years. They must be stopped. It's foreign corporations like Synth that has led to this new government destroying our traditions. Kusari is fast becoming a cheap copy of Liberty, and this cannot stand! The Kusari government should not allow lower quality imports that threaten the farmers' traditional way of life. Before Synth Foods was allowed into Kusari, we could charge a premium price for our Rice and Produce. Now all of the Tokyo urbanites prefer cheap Synth Paste. Let us hope that our new line of produce from Tottori will win them over. We have been able to find many eager recruits in Kyushu. The factories are empty and the fields lay fallow in Kyushu because of the foreigners. Kishiro uses Gaijin labor at Deshima to manufacture its Consumer Goods, products that were once made by Kyushu craftsmen. Now this new government wants to be even more open to gaijin trade and influence? The people of Kusari are being misled, if they knew what was happening on Kyushu they would take up arms as we have. It was only out of fear of Gallia that the people abandoned their traditions. Once Gallia is no longer a threat, the people will do what is right, and restore the Emperor to his throne. Then things will be set right once and for all. We recently reached out to our likeminded dissidents in House Rheinland and struck an agreement. They found that our movement was essentially an umbrella they could act under, and we agreed to support them in tackling Synth. Together, I feel we will do a better job in curtailing those foul people and their so called product. We use this base to attack Synth Food convoys in Shikoku and Tokyo. There are Jump Holes near both systems. Sometimes the council of elders orders us to attack Kishiro Consumer Goods transports, or even Optical Chips. We do what we are told; that is the traditional Kusari way. Some people say that we are just puppets of Samura. It is true that Samura financially supports our cause, and tells us whom and where to strike next. But we still can decide for ourselves if we want to continue doing this. We are all volunteers to the cause. With our beloved Emperor exiled in Bretonia, the cause is more just than ever before. I hear that our equipment and supplies are paid for by some mysterious benefactor in Shinjuku. It's a good thing we have someone with money willing to fight the foreigners and the government. Sometimes they ask us to raid Kishiro storage depots, which used to trouble me. We don't see ourselves as common thieves, like the Hogosha, but this new government is an affront to everything our ancestors built for us. Samura has been very good to us. They built the factories in Kyushu, provided us with special Seeds and Fertilizers, and even provided special Samura Bank loans to my family. We drive a Samura XCV series personal craft, of course. We get all of our supplies from Kabukicho in the Kanto Field of the New Tokyo system. Those Hogosha seem dishonest, but they are friends of Samura, so I guess they must be okay. I expected our benefactors might take offense to our initiative of linking up with other farmers, but they were actually supportive. They must realize it's simply more efficient this way.
