The Blood Dragons are an ancient faction descended from the body guards of the deposed Shoguns of the Hideyoshi Dynasty. The Blood Dragons were formed after the Sakura festival ended in Shugon Hideyoshi being placed under arrest in the palace by the Kusari Military and his royal guard was forced to surrender. The remains of Hideyoshi's royal guard fled into the northern space of Kusari. Soon they adopted a new name, The Blood Dragons. This was 321 AS.
The Blood Dragons were left in ruins. Fleeing what was now being called Imperial Kusari Space, they headed to the remote system of Chugoku. Here they set up a base in the heart of a large asteroid. This base would be named Kyoto, and still stands today as the Blood Dragon's centre of operations.
In the midst of the Blood dragon's Success, in 642 A.S, Yuyu Matsuda, a young but critically acclaimed poet, published "Golden Chrysanthemum in Bloom", and the Golden Chrysanthemum terrorist group was founded by young Kusarian women who refused to have their lives lacking in direction and were reluctant to become married and fulfill their traditional role in Kusari society. The Blood Dragons, recognizing a severe need for allies, began working with the Golden Chrysanthemums, and in time an alliance was formed.
Soon Ryuku base was built in the Tohoku system, which was used to monitor KNF activity found in the system. It was discovered that the Naval Forces and Samura were building a base in a large asteroid not far away from Ryuku. This base would be known in the short future as Tekagi's Arch. Not long after the completion of the installation, Governor Tekagi claimed the base as his own residence.
The Blood Dragons realized that Tekagi was schemeing plans of his own, and his constant meetings with representatives of the Chancellor of Rheinland were seen as suspicious by the Blood Dragon movement. Not long after, the Blood Dragons were contacted by The Order, an organisation determined to eradicate hostile alien forces from across Sirius.
The Order identified that the Kusari Politician, Govenor Tekagi, was under alien influence, possibly infected by the Chancellor of Rheinland. The two factions lead a strike force against the Tekagi's Arch. The Blood Dragons wanted Tekagi dead, and The Order were after a mysterious alien artifact, known only as the Proteus Tome. The Blood Dragons and the Order were successful in this event, the only regret of this mission was the death of honourable Blood Dragon veteran, Ozu.
Since the events of the Nomad War, the Blood Dragons have continued their attacks on the Kusari Naval Forces and Samura, with many successes and failures. Unfortunatley, the Hideyoshi's guard has slowly died out over the years to the present, and with the passing of the Hideyoshi's Guard, a new power has risen, The Rising Sons of Kusari.
The Rising Sons of Kusari History
Founded in 815 after putting back on service one of the aged "Togo" Battleships, the Rising Sons set aside their differences and competition for power to fight as one for the original Blood Dragon cause, the removal of Samura and the reintroduction of the legitimate government which was couped 500 years ago. Weilding the Blood Dragon's tag as a show of Honour and Bravery, the Rising Sons seek to restore the original cause, thereby reclaiming what, as they see in their eyes, is rightfully theirs.
The Rising Sons movement originally consisted of three Shoguns, each descended from the three most powerful Shoguns of the Hideyoshi Dynasty, deposed during the bloody Sakura coup of 321 A.S. Today, these Shoguns are an awesome display of power and military right. Embraced and cherished by the citizens of the True Kusari, The Rising Sons are often seen working with the Golden Chrysanthemums in the plight against the dishonourable and traitorous Kusari Empire. With rumors of a new power rising, the Kusari Empire is about to face a threat beyond the expected.
As the Blood Dragons continue their goals, the Sakura Coup still echoes in the mind of every Blood Dragon man, woman and child. The bloody massacre is far from over. But the Blood Dragons have come a long way since then. They have grown. They have prospered. They have flourished. But they will never forget.
Ranking System
Chosen amongst the Rising Sons to lead them to achieve their goals and thus, earning the respect of Blood Dragons, the Shoguns are the maximum authority over the faction.
Field commanders and Shogunate advisors. Elitest among their ranks and grand masters at war, a Daimyo should be a feared name amongst the ranks of the Kusari Naval Forces.
The elite among the Hatamoto become Roju, and they also may conduct operations outside Kusari space with previous authorization of the Shogunate.
The backbone of the Rising Sons and known as very skilled warriors, they may conduct skirmishes into Kusari core space on their own.
An Oban is the guard of Kyoto, Ryuku, Mito Shipyards and Sendai. They may be commanded by a superior officer in skirmishes all over Kusari space.
The Rising Sons Role Play and Policies
Faction ID and IFF
All Blood Dragons of The Rising Sons movement must have either the Blood Dragon ID or Blood Dragon Guard ID. All IFF transmitters are to be set to display either a Blood Dragon or Blood Dragon Guard IFF. In addition to this, all official Blood Dragons of The Rising Sons movement must display the ]bd[ tag before their name or callsign.
Goals and Objectives
• Overthrowing the current Kusari Empire and reintroducing a legitimate government free from corporate influence. • Eradication of Samura and any organization tied to it. • Slowing down Cardamine influence in Kusari.
Description of Activities
The Blood Dragons primarily concern themselves with the removal of the current government ruling Kusari. All forces are to operate within only within our Zone of Influence. Please report to us any ]bd[ tagged vessel that are found operating out of Blood Dragon ZOI (see ZOI before).
The Blood Dragons uphold their primary objectives by striking key points of the Kusari Empire. Our efforts to pirate along with the GC have been a great success, and Kusari profits have dropped by a reasonable number with many traders either robbed or destroyed. Do not be mistaken, Blood Dragons aren't Farmers Alliance, so it's not in our agenda to hunt foreigners or drive them off from Kusari. If they prove themselves to be useful at some point, exploit it.
In addition to piracy, terrorism not only appears in Kusari Space but also on planets such as Honshu, Kyushu and New Tokyo.
Blood Dragon Role Play
The Blood Dragons descend from what is depicted to be the most honourable faction ever created. Thus, The Rising Sons must honour everything and everybody that strays across our path. The Rising Sons MUST ALWAYS have an honourable character, and an honourable manner of speaking must be upheld at all times. Your temper is not to be lost at ANYONE and you should respect and mourn each friend and foe you encounter.
The Kusari-Bretonian War
We want this war to go on for as long as possible. Should Bretonia win the war, we will have less trouble fighting in Kusari and thus being one step closer to reinstall the Shogunate Government. Should Kusari win, they will gain more power and resources, making our tasks harder to achieve.
Contraband
All ships smuggling Cardamine or Synthetic Marijuana are to be destroyed immediatley unless being smuggled by the Golden Chrysanthemums or Outcasts smuggling for the Chrysanthemums. Artifacts are to be interdicted and brought to Sendai Research Complex. Black Market Munitions and Counterfeit Software are to be deposited at Kyoto where we can make very good use of them. Gaian Wildlife, Human Organs and Blood Daimonds can either be sold, or made to good use. Slavery isn't tolerated.
