Synopsis
Tohoku is a remote system on the outskirts of the Kusari Empire. A largely desolate system, but still a place of beauty, spleandor, and mystery. The system lacks any planets, but possesses several large asteroids which may have once been one (or several) planets which broke apart or collided. Built into the largest of these is the Tohoku Planetary Arch, better known as Heaven's Gate, the main landmark of the system.
The Arch was once the private retreat of Kusari nobility, most notably Governer Tekagi. During the Nomad War, the system was the site of a key battle between the Blood Dragons and the Order and the infested elements of the Kusari Naval Forces. In the aftermath, the system was largely abandoned until the discovery of the Omicron Delta system.
A Jumphole in an ajacent, unnamed system lead to Omicron Delta, turning Tohoku into a shortcut for the Zoners of Freeport-11 and Kusari. However, in early 817 A.S. the Jumphole collapsed and the route to Omicron Delta was cut off.
Later that year, the first signs of a resurgent Kusari Wild presance began to flair. This attrated the attention of the Blood Dragons, Order, and the Bounty Hunters Guild Core. As the Infested fleets began to increase, they were forced into conflict with another faction, the Consortium. After a brief conflict, the Consortium largely abandoned the system, though they, the Blood Dragons, and even the Golden Chrysanthemums and Farmers Alliance use the system as a route to reach Okinawa and Nagano.
The Luxury Liner Rhodes is one of the only civilian vessels which regularly braves the system, offering guided tours through the dangerous region.
