| − | == History ==
| |
| − | As publicly known, the history of the 343rd Naval Space Group is short. Founded 802 A.S. as a response to the losses in the [[Nomad War]], the 343rd functioned more or less as a personal guard to the Shogun. Participating in many little skirmishes, the shining hour for the unit came in the [[Tau War]] against Bretonia, where a Wing of Fighters and Bombers held Holman against
| |
| − | a Bretonian counterattack over a week until reinforcements in the form of the Nagasaki arrived.
| |
| − | | |
| − | After Gallias attack on Kusari and the capitulation of the latter, the 343rd, like the rest of the exiled Naval Forces, were completely on their own, without any help or supplies. After escorting the Tenno himself to Bretonian refuge, the returning fleet got ambushed by gallic forces. The attack was brutal, the first squadron of completely surprised defenders got brushed aside by the prepared gallic fighters, leaving the flagship of the Group, the IKS Akagi, vulnerable. The gallic bombers tore the ship apart, destroying its port flank and annihilating the bridge, killing the commanding officer of the Group in the process. The remaining fighter pilots retreated, vanishing with their second destroyer, the IKS Kaga. After this attack, nothing was heard of the 343rd, leaving the public unaware that some of them survived.
| |
| − | | |
| − | While the rest of the Exiles formed around the Emperor, the 343rd were the first to retreat to Council space. Making contact with them in Roussilon, the Council offered them shelter and help, which the exiled, dishonoured Samurai accepted, some willing, some with doubts. The Council even helped them recover the wreck of the Akagi, which now, almost a year later, is the flagship of the 343rd once again.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Shortly after beginning of Kusari trade relations between [[Gallia]] and Kusari, the 343rd re-emerged. Operating deeply behind enemy lines, their battle doctrine completely changed in comparison to the year before. Under the leadership of their newly appointed leader, Sakuma Hitomi, the 343rd started a desperate guerilla war directly under the eyes of the KNF Border Defense force, to disrupt gallic supply lines and, more importantly, to show the Warriors of the KNF that the beloved empire is in fact not dead.
| |
| − | | |
| − | With new strength gathered after many months of being the front line of the Exiles' fight against the Gallic invaders as well as the Republic of [[Kusari]], the 343rds Admirality took control of the general high command of the Exiles. Serving in their old role as a personal unit to the de facto Shogun Sakuma, they are the spearhead that will drive righteous rule back into the old home. Referring to themselves as 'Imperial Guard' rather than 'Exiles', they proudly carry their burden of being the last bulwark of Samurai tradition.

| |
| − | As is the case with the Exiles in total, the 343rd uses every ship available to the Imperial Navy. It has, however, due to its favoured position with the Emperor and its exemplary role, a higher density of the modern 'Exile Line' Snubcraft.
