The Kijima Clan

Clan Daimyo: Kijima Hisayuki

Daimyo Kijima and his family were once part of the Blood Dragons under Hideyoshi and served in the Nomad war of 801. After the war, The Blood Dragons were less aggressive in their actions against Samura, which didn't fit with Kijima's ethos. Despite the mainstream Blood Dragons being more relaxed he continued to slaughter Samura pilots and attack civilian stations that were affiliated with Samura. This attitude set Kijima apart from the other Daimyo's who were happy to spare civilian lives in acts of piracy to harm the corporation whilst retaining their honour.

Over the years the Kijima family gained a small but loyal following and force which in 815 A.S became known as the Tears of Izanagi. This name came from the many Shinto warriors who make up the majority of the force, these worship the old earth practice of establishing a connection between present-day Kusari and its ancient past. Most of the Kijima pilots were as reasonable as their clan laws would allow them to be but those who claimed the title took particular enjoyment in carrying out the most extreme actions against anyone flying the Samura flag.

824 The Skirmish of Xuanming. A small capital force under the Kijima banner began a ruse siege of Xuanming station in an attempt to lure out any Kusari Naval Force captains willing to risk their lives to protect Samura business interests. This attack was not sanctioned by The Blood Dragon leadership as was carried out under the order of a Daimyo this alone and many other civilian endangering actions along with the general attitude of The Tears of Izanagi had created a cold rift between them and the mainstream force of Blood Dragons which was on the brink of becoming a final warning for the Kijima family. After the battle had reached its end Daimyo Kijima was summoned by Shogun Hideyoshi, during a tense but amicable conversation the Shogun saw fit to allow the Tears of Izanagi their independence Granting Kijima the title of Lord and sovereignty over the Rishiri system.

Shortly after this Shogun Hideyoshi stood down to allow her brother to take over the title. Shogun Hideyoshi Kohaku immediately recalled the Tears of Izanagi. In the following days after a short but tough negotiation he granted the Kijima clan control of the Shikoku system and the Kepler-Galileo belt and granted Daimyo Kijima the honour of being appointed to the Shogun's personal retainers. This led the way for his younger brother Kijima Hisayuki to take control of the clan and start fresh with the new leadership.

"The differences that set us apart are no more, together we shall defeat all who oppose us." -The first Daimyo Kijima, when signing the treaty with Shogun Hideyoshi.'
