Stellar Cartography

Home system: Hiroshima. While the Emperor resides in his castle on New Tokyo, his guardians watch over the Blue Lagoon from Hiroshima-having Honshu and New Tokyo both within arms' reach.. Being a high security military restricted system Hiroshima is heavily defended by Naval Forces Guards and is considered inviolable space to all except Naval Forces, Samura Industries, State Police and Kishiro Technologies vessels. It is known the High Command rarely granted this privilege, providing a license, even to some civillian vessels under particular circumstances.

KNF projects itself across Kusari-From Honshu to Tau-31 and from Hokkaido to Kepler, Galileo and Sigma-13 (there only staying within range of the jump gate). In the western front the furthest KNF base is the Battleship Nagumo in Kyushu, however due to Imperial reaction to defend from the agressive Bretonian Armed Forces, the Kusari Naval Forces Battleship Nagasaki has been deployed near Holman Outpost in Tau-31. From this forward base the KNF ensure the Taus remain the fertile garden of Kusari that it always has been. Outcasts and Bretonians are dispatched with much zeal by our brave warriors in these sectors

Expeditionary Interests

Expeditionary interests War supply routes take Naval forces abroad through the Bretonian border worlds to Omega-49. The revolutionary scum residing in Chugoku can expect visits from the KNF as a matter of course. Tau-23 will also remain on the Emperors agenda, where the KNF strike at the BMM base there. Anywhere there is Bretonian shipping interest, the KNF will disrupt it.

The Kusari Naval Forces Exploration wing was created on the 8.3, 817 A.S by Chusa Yoshi Sabayai. The primary objective or role of the wing is to conduct expeditions and missions to improve and expand "Kusari's Horizons". The work of the KNF-E not only benifits the immediate KNF but also the Kusari people. Official documentation here.

Kusari Naval Forces Katana Bombers Wing

The Kusari Naval Forces Katana Wing was introduced for the first time by Commodore Relden Mori as a defensive wing to help keep Kusari Space safe. With the retirement of Commodore Relden Mori and the recently developed Kusari bomber, the Katana Wing was absorbed by KNF and reviewed by Taishō Hikaru Sulu to became an elite well-trained, fast and deadly anti capital ship wing. Pilots in the KNF-K are strictly selected, subject to a very intense training and receive their medal directly from the Emperor himself. They are feared amongst our enemies and praised by our citizens as a living legend. Official documentation here.
