The Blood Dragons are an ancient faction descended from the body guards of the deposed Shoguns of the Hideyoshi Dynasty. Still stuck in the past, yet with an ambitious future, the Blood Dragons are dedicated to defeating the Kusari Naval Forces in hope of returning Kusari to the rule of the Shoguns, they attack Government targets mercilessly.

The Rising Sons movement is made up of direct decedents of the Shoguns that have united under one flag to reach a common goal. Tired of the overall failure of the Blood Dragons to meet their ultimate goals, the Shoguns of The Rising Sons have put aside their differences and fight as one.

Blood Dragons Background

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 body guard was forced to surrender. The remains of Hideyoshi's royal guard fled into the northern space of Kusari. Soon after 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.

However, not long after the construction of Kyoto Base, a small group of Blood Dragons known still as Hideyoshi's Guard propsed a large base known as Mito Shipyard and built it in the neighbouring system of Tau 63. This shipyard would be the centre of operations of Hideyoshi's guard, a small faction of the Blood Dragons who prefered piracy to terrorism, and did not hate Gaijn as the majority of Blood Dragons did.

Over time the Blood Dragons formed a powerful organisation and ventured out back into Kusari space to avenge the death of Shogun Hideyoshi. The Blood Dragons turned into terrorists after the majority of their actions were blocked by the current military power - the Kusari Naval Forces. The Blood Dragons then sought to overthrow the current Kusari Empire to re-install a direct descendant of Shogun Hideyoshi and restore the rule of the Shoguns.. The Blood Dragons slowly grew in size and number, and began to slowly attack foreign traders and Samura, lowering Kusari profits.

In the midst of the Blood dragon's Success, in 642 A.S, Yuyu Matsuda, a young but critically acclaimed poet, publishes "Golden Chrysanthemum in Bloom". Charismatic and well-spoken, Matusda has a considerable following among young Kusari women who find their lives lacking in direction but are reluctant to become married and fulfill their traditional role in Kusari society. The Golden Chrysanthemums terrorist group is founded. The Blood Dragons recognizing a severe need for allies, begin working with the Golden Chrysanthemums. These relations turned into agreements, which furthur turned into a long-standing alliance between them. Both after very different futures for Kusari, but are united as one to take down the Kusari Empire.

Not long after the formation of the alliance between the Blood Dragons and the Golden Chrysanthemums, the Blood Dragons began altering the current Kusari Naval Forces ships they had been using since their founding. They formed a new line of ships consisting of the "Katana" Blood Dragon Heavy Fighter, the "Tanto" Light Fighter and the Nodachi Bomber. Around 690-700 A.S, the Blood Dragons finished a masterpiece Dragon Gunboat, the "Hachiman" Blood Dragon Gunboat

Desipte their recent success in ship production, the recently discovered system, Tohoku was found to have KNF activity, who ventured there through deserted systems from Honshu, Okinawa and Nagano. In response the Blood Dragons secretly began a small base in the west cloud, known as Ryuku base, which was used to monitor and destroy Kusari Naval Forces patrols and protect the jumphole to their home system, Chogoku.

After years of monitoring, 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 continued to watch over Tekagi and his arch, monitoring his movements and activities. It was soon clear that he 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 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, destroying much of the interior of Governor Tekagi's Fortress, along with the Battleships Ishioka, Musashi, and Senna, and killing Governor Tekagi. The only regret of this mission was the death of honourable Blood Dragon veteran, Ozu.

The Himeji, the last surviving battleship that guarded Tekagi’s Arc, managed to jump into Okinawa. It was finally disabled on the other side, near Sendai Research Complex, a recently developed Blood Dragon Base. 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.

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. A remnant group of Red Hessians called the Nova PG fused with the majority of the Blood Dragons, and conducted many of the terrorism acts throughout Kusari and the Sigma systems. Together with Hideyoshi's Guard, Nova PG made up half of the Majority of Blood Dragons.

In 814 A.S, Bretonia began an invasion into Tau 31. This provoked the current Kusari Empire, and started a war between the two houses. Although the Blood Dragons and Bretonia were both fighting a common enemy, the Blood Dragons decided not to intervene in the war, unlike their Golden Chrysanthemum allies. Relations between Bretonia and the Blood Dragons currently remain at a neutral level.

Through the events of the War, in 815 A.S, the first prototype of the Blood Dragon Battleship, the "Togo", was completed. Along with the recently developed "Kagutsushi" Blood Dragon Cruiser, the Blood Dragons were now a feared and powerful force within Sirius with a Capital Ship line of their own.

Unfortunatley, the Hideyoshi's guard has slowly died out over the years to the present, although Nova Power Generation still exists in motion today. With the passing of Hideyoshi's Guard, a new power has risen, The Rising Sons of Kusari.

This new Blood Dragon movement holds one of the most powerful seats in unlawful Kusari. Headed by descendants of the deposed Shoguns of the Hideyoshi Dynasty, the Rising Sons unite the different Piracy and Terrorist policies of both the old Hideyoshi's Guard and NovaPG. The Rising Sons of the Blood Dragons now make up the majority of Blood Dragon Activity.

The Rising Sons History

Founded in 815 with the creation of the first Blood Dragon "Togo" Battleship, the Rising Sons set aside their differences and competition for power to fight as one for the original Blood Dragon Cause, the installation of a direct Hideyoshi descendant and the destruction of the Traitorous Kusari Empire, a cause which does not focus so much on Terrorism and Piracy (although the Rising Sons will commit these acts only to slowly bring down the Empire, not for the money and fun of doing so). 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 Shogunsof the Hidyoshi Dynasty, deposed during the bloody Sakura coup of 321 A.S. Today, these shoguns are an awesome display of power and millitary right. Headed by a descendant of the honourable Shogun Hideyoshi, the new Rising Sons movement fight to restore Kusari to what it orginally was.

After the merging between the two most influential parties in the Blood Dragons, Hidyoshi's Guard and Nova Power Generation, the Blood Dragons were cast into a long year of Unbalance. As this unbalance grew, the Rising Sons movement sought to declare themselves amongst the general public of the Blood Dragons.

Embraced and cherished by the citizens of the True Kusari, the Rising Sons are often seen working with Nova PG and the Golden Chrysanthemums in the plight against the dishonourable and traitorous Kusari Empire. As the plight continues to bring the downfall of the Kusari Empire, the Rising Sons movement have made diplomatic arrangements with the most unlikely of allies, attempting to construct a monsterous fleet, so that one day, it will be possible to take down the Kusari empire, unlike the Blood Dragons who have joined only to pirate and terrorise the citizens of Kusari.. 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.
