The Kusari Exiles (4.86)

[jammi]

Alliance with Gaians... hmm no clear point here.... we do not support bretonia... and do not hunt them.. why would gaians be against us and not friendly as it was in .85?

Currently, the only reason the Gaians have good relations with the KNF is because Kusari is well supplied and funded (while the Gaians aren't), and they also fight Bretonia. The Exiles no longer fight Bretonia, and they're cut off from their supply chain to Kusari, so they're living on a shoestring budget. There is no ideological common ground between Kusari and the Gaians. I mean, Samura (and by extension the Exile loyalists) are the ones responsible for terraforming Kusari's planets! I can think of no logical reason whatsoever for the Gaians so much as considering assisting you.

Bretnoia arresting officers? what would be better for them 70k of their fighters + 5k from remaining knf.... or 65k after battle with that remaining forces?

I would hazard a guess at the 65'. Also, you cannot seriously be suggesting you have 5,000 Chimeras stashed on two battleships... In any case - there was 8 years of warfare, in Bretonia's eyes, caused by the very people they now have sat on their doorstep. The Emperor, his loyalist guards, his high command. They're all in Newcastle. The Bretonian public would want closure for all the lives Kusari had claimed - arresting the Emperor would be a PR coup in that case.

The Exiles would be a dangerous and unpredictable variable that Bretonia can't afford to have at large. The current government has signed peace treaties with Bretonia and is giving out every impression of wanting to stick to them, yes? Why on earth would Bretonia assist the previous Emperor who started the war, when he wants to retake power back in the mainland?

so i guess the new KNF could hunt them down - if the old emperor would endanger their new goverment. - after all.... in what way is the old emperor ( exiles ) different to the blood dragons ( no, not lore - but what it comes down to - installing an emperor over one that has officially been installed )
what i d like to get into is:

how was kusari goverment replaced ( there are so many ways from peaceful to violent ) - and what are the plans in the future ( imagine .... gallia gone.... what will happen to the exiles? ) - yea - i figure you may only deal with the matters at hand ... but some future prospects might need to be cleared up.

The only way I can think of the Emperor being deposed without there being a bloody revolution back home is trickery. If Kishiro had simply ended the Dynasty with the statement that 'Kogen is no longer Emperor', loyalist forces would have risen up and there would have been a civil war. So, trickery.

The Emperor is visiting the front lines. Unexpectedly, Gallia invades. The Kishiro usurpers put out a general broadcast that the Emperor has been killed during the confusion in Seto and assume control. Samura politicians and key loyalist figures are placed under arrest. At this point the new government places the blame for the war with Bretonia on the Emperor and the old government.

When Kogen attempts call home and protest his innocence and, well... alive-ness, he is denounced as an imposter and attempted usurper. In effect, this places them on the same level as the Blood Dragons. So, they can't go home because the Emperor is widely blamed for the war, and is thought by the public to be a pretender attempting to usurp the throne.

ye, first arrested... maybe first 10/100 and rest will turn their guns on brets...

Congratulations - your mere two battleships and all within have just been killed by the combined firepower of the biggest military build-up in Bretonia.

+ we won't be in trouble with supplies since it can still reach us but via liberty.
KNF presence in tau-29 will be very little... where else they can meet them? old emperor is threat for new goverment.. but it's up to different roleplay interpretation.:D

You do have a supply problem, because you're no longer members of the KNF (no annual government budget to fund you) and all the Ronin's assets back home in Kusari have been frozen. The rumours for .86 say you're living off Bretonia's credit - and getting notoriously ripped off during the process.
