Literally meaning 'Haughty Guardian Dogs', the Tokui Komainu are a revolutionary movement within [[Kusari]]; in favour of replacing the current democratic system of government with an Imperialistic regime. The movement itself focuses on attacking the individual [[NPC_Factions#Kusari_Corporate|corporate powers]] in the hope of subverting their hold of [[Kusari]]. To achieve this the Tokui Komainu are known to openly attack and raid [[Transports| corporate transports]] moving through [[Kusari]]. While allowing them to monitor the displacement of resources throughout [[Kusari]] this also provides the Tokui Komainu with one of it's, few, vital incomes of resources.

Among those populating this resistant mind-set were the the men and women of the [[KNF| Naval Forces]]; who held conflicting views on these past events. Many considered the dismissal of the [[Jien Kogen|Emperor]] in [[Bretonia]] to be a traitorous act, a deplorable choice lacking honour and tradition. While others felt dutifully bound to continue to serve the current standing power of [[Kusari]]. Of those who held doubt in their minds regarding the aptitude of those who made these decisions, to some, the Imperialistic goals of the Tokui Komainu were of interest. Despite their prior allegiances those, of the [[KNF|Naval Forces]], who migrated to the services of the Tokui Komainu were, in almost all cases, accepted with respect and honour as depicting of their courageous fortitude in deserting their previous democratic rulership. This introduction of trained personnel was of key importance to the Tokui Komainu, as it allowed them to not only obtain skilled pilots but also to depict the frail structure of the democracy in it's inability to hold onto it's own soldiers.

It is the firm belief of the Tokui Komainu that it is due, fully, to the encroachment of corporate powers on [[Kusari|Kusarian]] politics that has resulted in the collapse of [[Kusari]] as well as the instalment of the new democratic system of government. Formed for the simple purpose of producing a profit the Tokui Komainu consider their motives to lack honour and dutiful motives which drive the rest of [[Kusari|Kusari's]] society. Lacking these basic moral guidelines the Tokui Komainu consider them unfit to hold any position of independent power and a distant hazard to [[Kusari]] if left unchecked.

Since these [[NPC_Factions#Kusari_Corporate|corporate powers]] hold such an essential role in [[Kusari|Kusari's society]] the Tokui Komainu also feel threatened by these continuous expanses of such [[NPC_Factions#Kusari_Corporate|companies]] into other areas within [[Kusari|Kusari's infrastructure]]. They are fearful that, if left unchecked they could become overzealous and attempt to impose themself as an influential power be that directly or through puppeteering certain individuals or groups.

These doubts were further exploited by certain other growing powers within the wake of Kusari's chaotic aftermath; following [[Jien Kogen|Kogen's]] removal from power. After developing this idea, due in part to the interventions of key factions within [[Kusari]], the Tokui Komainu focused it's aims on enforcing a new Imperial ruler-ship; following the dissolution of the democratic government.

===Gaijin===
 +
 +
While not at the pinnacle of the interests pursued by the Tokui Komainu, those of non-[[Kusari]] origins/influences are viewed with suspicion and distrust; primarily based on the negative results yielded (in the views of the Tokui Komainu) from previous ventures pursued in combination with gaijin organisations. Organisations such as [[Synth Foods]]; who decimated the traditional foods industry with [[Kusari]], [[GRN|The Gallic Navy]]; who separated and abolished the [[KNF|Kusari Navy]] in the [[Kusari#Controlled_and_contested_space|Taus War]], and [[Liberty Rogue|The Liberty Rogue]]; who preformed a series of raids on the nearby [[Kusari|Kusari systems]].
 +
 +
It is in keeping with these past consequences that the Tokui Komainu hope to form, as a bi-product of the Imperialistic regime, an independent [[Kusari]]. One free from the dependencies on gaijin influences, and releasing the dominating grip which external powers have of the internal struggles of [[Kusari]].

Synopsis

Literally meaning 'Haughty Guardian Lions', the Tokui Komainu are a revolutionary movement within Kusari; in favour of replacing the current democratic system of government with an Imperialistic regime. The movement itself focuses on attacking the individual corporate powers in the hope of subverting their hold of Kusari. To achieve this the Tokui Komainu are known to openly attack and raid corporate transports moving through Kusari. While allowing them to monitor the displacement of resources throughout Kusari this also provides the Tokui Komainu with one of it's, few, vital incomes of resources.


Roots

Mounting Tension

Prior to 818 A.S. (and the Emperor's forced exile in Bretonia) the noble families of Kusari were highly revered. Previously serving a multitude of roles within the Kusarian society these families held a reputation of erudite values. Having grown accustomed to this lavish lifestyle of luxury, many of these families grew anxious following the events of 818 A.S. and the implementation of the new democratic government. Despite many objections raised by these (up until now) ruling classes, these alterations resulted in the abolition of many key influential positions; previously held by these noble families. In retaliation to this displacement, of these family's' prestigious social status within Kusari, many of these families mounted up in defiance of the usurpation of their privileged social status.

A prominent number of these families chose to abandon the new Democratic system and attempt to redeem their own status. Along with a few other noble families the Kamida drew together their assets under the unified banner of the 'Tokui Komainu'.


Kusari's Population

A large amount of the Tokui Komainu support was also supplied by the Kusari population; with many people, throughout Kusari, growing restless with the recent announcements of the Emperor's forced exile. While the preponderance of the population were fixated on the previous government a notable number of individuals were attracted to the ideals which the Tokui Komainu strove towards. In an attempt to heighten this support the Tokui Komainu reached out across Kusari in a multitude of displays to entice new members of the revolutionary movement. This attempt of communication ranged from Kusari citizens to salient organisations. In response the Tokui Komainu managed to gain a multitude of key individuals as well as vital allies; ensuring their position as a revolutionary movement.


Naval Forces Personnel

Among those populating this resistant mind-set were the the men and women of the Naval Forces; who held conflicting views on these past events. Many considered the dismissal of the Emperor in Bretonia to be a traitorous act, a deplorable choice lacking honour and tradition. While others felt dutifully bound to continue to serve the current standing power of Kusari. Of those who held doubt in their minds regarding the aptitude of those who made these decisions, to some, the Imperialistic goals of the Tokui Komainu were of interest. Despite their prior allegiances those, of the Naval Forces, who migrated to the services of the Tokui Komainu were, in almost all cases, accepted with respect and honour as depicting of their courageous fortitude in deserting their previous democratic rulership. This introduction of trained personnel was of key importance to the Tokui Komainu, as it allowed them to not only obtain skilled pilots but also to depict the frail structure of the democracy in it's inability to hold onto it's own soldiers.


Goals

Democractic/Corporate Influences

It is the firm belief of the Tokui Komainu that it is due, fully, to the encroachment of corporate powers on Kusarian politics that has resulted in the collapse of Kusari as well as the instalment of the new democratic system of government. Formed for the simple purpose of producing a profit the Tokui Komainu consider their motives to lack honour and dutiful motives which drive the rest of Kusari's society. Lacking these basic moral guidelines the Tokui Komainu consider them unfit to hold any position of independent power and a distant hazard to Kusari if left unchecked.

Since these corporate powers hold such an essential role in Kusari's society the Tokui Komainu also feel threatened by these continuous expanses of such companies into other areas within Kusari's infrastructure. They are fearful that, if left unchecked they could become overzealous and attempt to impose themselves as an influential power be that directly or through puppeteering certain individuals or groups. It is in keeping with this prediction that the Tokui Komainu believe that these corporate powers must be displaced from their power bases before they are able to obtain more of these influential links through Kusari.

The original ideals of the Tokui Komainu, following it's initial founding in 819 A.S., were to displace the democratic system of government in place for Emperor Kogen's return to Kusari. In his absence, however, many under the Tokui Komainu's banner began to question Jien Kogen's legitimacy to the throne. This doubt was based, primarily, on the view that Kogen, and his lineage, were one of the sole reasons of the successful expansions of Kusarian corporate powers into influential positions within government. Having achieved Imperial recognition due to the cope of 321 A.S. the direct blood ties which granted Kogen the position of Emperor were insubstantial at best.

These doubts were further exploited by certain other growing powers within the wake of Kusari's chaotic aftermath; following Kogen's removal from power. After developing this idea, due in part to the interventions of key factions within Kusari, the Tokui Komainu focused it's aims on enforcing a new Imperial ruler-ship; following the dissolution of the democratic government.


Gaijin

While not at the pinnacle of the interests pursued by the Tokui Komainu, those of non-Kusari origins/influences are viewed with suspicion and distrust; primarily based on the negative results yielded (in the views of the Tokui Komainu) from previous ventures pursued in combination with gaijin organisations. Organisations such as Synth Foods; who decimated the traditional foods industry with Kusari, The Gallic Navy; who separated and abolished the Kusari Navy in the Taus War, and The Liberty Rogue; who preformed a series of raids on the nearby Kusari systems.

It is in keeping with these past consequences that the Tokui Komainu hope to form, as a bi-product of the Imperialistic regime, an independent Kusari. One free from the dependencies on gaijin influences, and releasing the dominating grip which external powers have of the internal struggles of Kusari.

Political Associations

Blood Dragons

Preceding a series of political discussions, which commenced on 819 A.S., between the Tokui Komainu and Blood Dragons a settlement was established by both groups. The settlement granted the Tokui Komainu sanctuary within the Blood Dragons areas of influence as well as access to ships and weaponry in order to aid in their revolutionary efforts. This settlement also signified the beginning of an alliance reached by both factions.


Consortium

Due to a shared interest in Kusari's future the Tokui Komainu and Consortium formed an alliance in the early part of 819 A.S. Having assumed control of certain assets preciously orchestrated by the Golden Chrysanthemum's this alliance presents, through the Consortium, access to certain key assets throughout Kusari. In keeping with this the Consortium and Tokui Komainu are know to, on occasion, carry out joint operations.


Independent Miners Guild

In conjunction with diplomatic negotiations between the Tokui Komainu and the Independent Miners Guild an amnesty was reached. This stated that, barring certain conditions, both sides would reduce their opposition to one another within Kusari's systems in exchange for the Independent Miner's cooperation in reducing their supply shipments to Kusari.

On rare occasions select vessels may be instructed to enter these systems with direct and specific instructions.
