Komachi's Slice of Paradise || Ship Database

[Omi]

//Okay, so Komachi has been a character of mine for a good while now - probably around September/October of last year. Unfortunately, she hasn't had a forum presence at all, but that is - as you can see - currently in the process of changing. This is the thread where - assuming everything goes to plan and I don't get bored - any significant developments in her character and things that happen to her will end up being documented. I would make a feedback thread, but that's actually impossible as of the time of writing. If you have anything you absolutely desperately have to leave feedback on, just PM me. Thanks!

A Little Slice of Paradise

Pictured above: the Slice of Paradise, an armed and armored TTR-1130 Series Pilgrim Liner operated and "owned" by a certain Golden Chrysanthemum, Komachi Kurosawa. It serves as the 'flagship' of sorts for her ramshackle, one-woman fleet of snubcraft and freighters.

Komachi Kurosawa

An Ainu-born idealist-turned-profiteer, Komachi Kurosawa was one of the many sisters to part ways with the hardliners among the movement after Kusari's change in government. Never really a believer in the cause, the fractures that rocked the movement post-reform were the catalyst for her partial breakaway. Packing her scant belongings into her Blossom, she waved goodbye to the main line of the Sisterhood's cause, setting out from the relatively tranquil skies of Hokkaido to a more rich hunting ground - the asteroid fields of nearby Tau-23.


Arriving on Cali the day after, Komachi cut an unimposing figure among the asteroid base's regular comers and goers. Her Sisterhood-related credentials - coupled with her trademark upbeat personality and a few favours on the side - were enough to secure her long-term accomodation, as well as a parking space for her fighter. Following this, the young Chrysanthemum became a regular fixture both on the base and in the mining fields beyond its rocky walls, ripping off miners and evading the Guild paramilitary in equal measure. Occasional forays into Kyushu and Kusari proper also met with success - and, during a daring heist involving two trains and approximately ten thousand tons of freshly-mined gold ore, even led to her meeting a local band of Junkers, a then-ragtag band of hooligans calling themselves the Junker Marauders.

That chance meeting in Kyushu orbit sparked a sequence of regular co-operation between Komachi and the Marauders, which continues to this very day. Now equipped with the contacts to move large volumes of 'stolen' cargo from miners too stupid or too stubborn to provide her with electronic funds, Komachi's profit margins soared through the roof, and it wasn't long before her collection of ships expanded to match, with two Orchids and a Sabre being delivered to the nearby Freeport Ten for her use.

This status quo continued for a further four months, before - inevitably - Komachi grew bored with the meager quarters she was afforded on board Cali, as well as the amount of shuttling back and forth she was required to deal with in order to access her flotilla moored at the Freeport. As such, she called in a few outstanding favours of her own with the Marauders, acquiring a modified Pilgrim liner and suitable crew on a long-term lease in short order.

Now freed from the confines - spatial and otherwise - of operating out of Cali Base, nineteen-year-old Komachi has mobilised her Liner - christened the Slice of Paradise - and expanded her range of operations to Kusari proper, although her primary focus on the rich fields of Tau-23 is unlikely to go away any time soon. While she is far from being the most intelligent girl around, Komachi's unquashable ambition and determination mean she is still a credible threat to shipping in House Kusari and the neighbouring Border Worlds, having recently been spotted operating as far afield as Kepler and the Sigmas.
