Future of Kusari

[kikatsu]

I think the most likely course of events coming up is that the pieces for a civil war will be set up, and things will be set in motion. The Kusari Exiles, the original KNF forces under the emperor will have their ZoI extended up into Kyushu, and the Exiles will likely be terrorizing GRN ships and Gallic commercial ships all throughout the Taus, and the Exiles will likely be fighting the KNF to get back into power. Samura has been secretly supplying the Exiles in Leeds and Newcastle, so they might secretly support the Exiles as they attempt to retake Kusari.

The Farmers Alliance is super conservative and supports the emperor completely and are basically in the pocket of Samura. The FA will likely ally with the Exiles at every chance they get and fight back against the current KNF. Right now the AFA is pseudo-neutral to the KNF, but once the Exiles show up and start doing things in Kusari we will side with them completely I think.

The main problem with the Exiles is that their forces are only "5 battleships, 10 Destroyers and 25 Gunboats and a handful of fighter and bomber wings" so they will not have the power to outright fight Kusari, even though the modern KNF has been crippled in the Gallic war, they still probably have ten times the amount of ships that the Exiles have, and still, Rheinland has been manufacturing KNF capital ships for them in an attempt to rearm Kusari.
