Greetings proud warriors of the Empire, noble samurais and restless protectors of Kusari,


We are the the Kuroi Akuma, the Black Demons of Kusari. That is the name given to us by the enemies of the Emperor, enemies who are more numerous and better equipped then ever. Me and my brothers decided to take the fight to them, unrestricted by the rules and regulations of the Imperial Nave we have all served until now. For obvious reasons we can not use our Chimaeras and Umibozus so we turn yo you, brothers, for help. We do not want to dishonor ourselves by turning to the gaijins for ships and guns.

We need ships and we need weapons, my brothers. Vultures and Drakes, Black Dragons and Mamorus, as many as me and my men need. We could even use some Raba transports, if you can spare them.

I assure you that everything you provide us with will be used to hunt our enemies and our enemies only. We are not just some random mercenaries, as many of our enemies claimed. We are true Samurai, true Kusarians. You can be certain that your close firends, the Gaians, will not be hurt by us and we can say the same about the Corsair Empire. Some call them criminals, some call them cannibals, but we see the for what they are, true warriors and friends of the Kusari people, so will try to work for them and reward their friendship.

Just to be sure you understand it I will say it again: we are not mercenaries, but warriors of the Kusari Empire. However, we will be paid for our services and what'€™s left after we pay for our supplies and ship maintenance will go to Kusari and all its people and, of course, you will be the ones to direct these funds to the people that need them the most.

Please, my brothers, help us help Kusari. Help us bring death and terror to the enemies of the Empire. Help us fulfill out destines.

Too long has passed since anyone took a moment to think about the true values of House Kusari. Too long have the gaijins polluted out great Empire with their rotten ways. Too long have the enemies of his Imperial Majesty roamed free among the stars. Darkness must be met with darkness, swords must me met with swords, blood must be met with blood. Rise, sons of Kusari! Rise, proud warriors! Join the Black Demons of Kusari! Join the Kuroi Akuma!
