The Battleship Himeji, commanded by Chujo Michio Raikatugi, was originally stationed outside [[Heaven's Gate]] - an ancient Imperial fortress in the [[Tohoku]] system that Governor Tekagi had subverted for his own purposes. The Himeji served alongside a guard fleet led by the Battleships Ishioka, Musashi and Sennan. In 800 AS at the peak of the[[ Nomad War]], the [[Blood Dragons]] led an attack on the fortress resulting in the Nomad-infested Tekagi's death.
  
==Synopsis==
+
The Matsuda was one of the casualties of this battle. A Blood Dragon [[Bomber]] wing struck the ship while others distracted its escort fleet. Two torpedoes struck the bridge, killing the entire bridge crew instantly. A third torpedo struck the engine, exploiting a critical design flaw in the Meiji class, and the subsequent explosion crippled the ship. Its crew was forced to abandon ship and seek refuge on Heaven's Gate.
  
Originally the Battleship Himeji, commanded by Chujo Michio Raikatugi, was permanently stationed outside Governor Tekagi's fortress in the Tohoku system, along with the Battleships Ishioka, Musashi and Sennan. During the Nomad War , towards the end of 800 A.S., the Blood Dragons led an attack on Tekagi's fortress, resulting in the destruction of the Battleship Musashi and the death of the Nomad-infested Tekagi.<BR>
+
The abandoned ship drifted into an asteroid field, and was assumed destroyed by both the Kusari and [[Nomad]] forces it had been a part of. Eventually, [[Golden Chrysanthemum]] (GC) smugglers encountered the reasonably intact wreck by chance in 810 AS After a more thorough inspection, the GC decided it was worth the expense of salvaging the ship, and with the assistance of their Blood Dragon allies, managed to repair the engines to the point that it could safely jump.
 
 
After the Governor was killed, the Nomad-controlled crews of his defence fleet began to fall into a retreat towards an unknown jumphole in the Tohoku system, while members of the Blood Dragons and hired Freelancers withdrew with the alien artifact that they had been sent to recover from the fortress. The Blood Dragons, fighting against heavy odds, sent a call to arms to the Golden Chrysanthemums, who responded with all available ships.<BR>
 
 
 
As they arrived, the Battleship Sennan was destroyed in a fiery explosion as the magnetic fields around the fusion reactor collapsed. With extensive engine damage, partially inflicted by the dying Sennan, the Battleship Himeji changed course, limping towards the Nagano jumphole, pursued by large numbers of Golden Chrysanthemum fighters, bombers and transports. The Battleship Ishioka escaped, and its whereabouts today remain a mystery.<BR>
 
 
 
The Himeji managed to jump into Okinawa, but was finally disabled on the other side, near to the Sendai Research Complex. Golden Chrysanthemum and Blood Dragon soldiers boarded the ship, and assisted by agents of the Order from Sendai, captured the vessel, destroying all traces of Nomads found onboard. The ship was discovered to have too extensive damage to move it too far, so it was slowly nudged into a parking orbit of the research station and left there under the control of Golden Chrysanthemum  techs and soldiers, in gratitude for their assistance.<BR>
 
 
 
Over the ensuing years since the end of the Nomad War, the Golden Chrysanthemums have spent a considerable amount of effort and time to repair it, using hijacked materials from Samura military freighters transporting parts to the various shipyards across Kusari. Eventually, in 813 A.S., the ship was deemed fully operational once more and with much ceremony the Sisterhood re-christened the ship to the Battleship Matsuda, in honour of Yuyu Matsuda, founder of the Golden Chrysanthemum movement.<BR>
 
 
 
At present, the Matsuda is tasked with guarding the Cardamine run through Okinawa and the jumphole to Honshu, and is home to a large population of Golden Chrysanthemum families in addition to the crew. Outcasts and Blood Dragons are also known to frequent the ship for supplies.<BR>
 
  
==Imports==
+
The ship was brought into [[Okinawa]] where it was partially restored over the course of five years, until it could make the journey to [[Sigma-19]] to receive more extensive repairs from the Chrysanthemums Hispanian allies. Upon its restoration, The Sisterhood re-christened the ship "Battleship Matsuda", in honour of Yuyu Matsuda, founder of the Golden Chrysanthemum movement.
  
==Exports==
+
With its sublight engines fully repaired in mid-825 AS, the Matsuda was able to move back into [[Kusari]], positioning itself in the Seiran Cloud to strike at convoys along the trade artery between [[New Tokyo]] and [[Planet Kyushu]]. While the Matsuda's engines are fully operational, her weapons systems and sensor suite are highly outdated, making a direct confrontation with a modern day Toitsu class or even a well maintained Meiji a serious concern. For this reason, patrols are frequently dispatched to ensure the Matsuda has ample time to flee if ever discovered.
