History and Background

The Watanabe Kazoku is descended from one of the Royal Guards named Katashi Inoue who fled to Chugoku with the rest of his Royal Guard brethren during the infamous Sakura Coup in 321 A.S. Katashi traveled on one of the Togo class battleship that those still loyal to Hideyoshi dynasty managed to retrieve. Before it could reach the confines of the Chugoku system the Togo was badly damaged in a collision with an intimidatingly large asteroid and had to be abandoned with no chances of repair. Records of this battleship's position were held in one of the Kyoto's Libraries but was lost in an unexpected fire that occurred in the same. When the Royal Guard that now called themselves the Blood Dragons started to carve a large asteroid that was later to become their home, young Katashi was given a task that best suited his age - to be a manual laborer. He carried large amounts of rock, dust and other unneeded waste found within the confines of the Kyoto asteroid. When Kyoto was finally completed again and the Dragons had a solid base of operations to launch attacks from, it was time to exact revenge on the new Kusari empire and its dishonourable leaders. Katashi participated in many of those attacks successfully, thus earning himself a house in the upper levels of Kyoto. He married a young girl that had only recently joined the Blood Dragon order and founded his own line that endures until the present day - The Watanabe Kazoku.
