The Kusari Office of Intelligence operates as an independent bureau of the Empire, performing clandestine operations in regions predominantly beyond the reach of the Naval Forces. While often operating in covert cells, direct actions by KOI are not unheard of - though they often leave few survivors to tell any tales.

Rumors

Nansei Research Complex
  • The scientists here feel that it would be foolish to store antimatter in a ship. Somehow we need to find a way to generate on the fly the moderate amounts of it needed during the high boost phase of the engines.


  • Kusari is attempting to use antimatter as the primary propellant rather than as an intermediary to superheat the hydrogen plasma in engine combustion chambers. To do this, we must dramatically lower the cost of antimatter production.


  • We require many Superconductors and all sorts of Robotics to create the massive electromagnetic fields needed to accelerate hydrogen to the speeds that create antimatter particles. The high efficiency Liberty Superconductors are far more economical than any Kusari has been able to fabricate.


  • The antimatter research is a cover for our real purpose here: replicating the Ageira Superconductors. Somehow Liberty has learned extremely advanced manufacturing techniques to create compounds that we've never seen.


  • The Blood Dragons know what our weakness is here. They always go after the antimatter storage vessels. If they were to breach just one, it could be a chain-reaction catastrophe.


  • The field of solar collectors you see outside generate the immense amounts of power required in antimatter production. We have done a lot of allied research in cheap manufacturing methods for solar collectors.


  • It appears from our research that it is still not economical to create mass quantities of antimatter, even with cheap solar energy. Then there is the issue of transport. A large amount of antimatter transported on a ship would be a tremendously powerful bomb if the containment field were ever breached by accident or hostile action.


  • If there were ever an accident in Nansei, all of Kyushu would know immediately. This entire complex would be vaporized in an instant. Antimatter destroys matter on contact in a mutually destructive collision. We have several metric tons stored here for research purposes. That would make a 1000-megaton thermonuclear weapon explosion look like a candle flame in comparison.


  • Nansei is in direct competition with Kansai. They have more innovative and well paid scientists at Kishiro. Samura receives much money from the government for this project, yet we lack simple supplies and modern laboratory facilities.
