Kusari - What da what is going on?

[Zelot]

So, as some of you may know, I have been away for a while, but back in the day I was very involved in Kusari rp. I'm flying around Kusari and seeing all the many cool changes, but I go to try and figure out the rp of the changes and what's going on with the storyline in Kusari and I must say, going by the ingame material, I am really lost. Anyone want to explain what's happened there, not a quick little snip, but does anyone, preferably someone playing in Kusari, want to take some time to explain things like,

(I will update this list as more questions come to mind)

Is there a civil war?
What's been happening between GMG and Samura out in all these new systems?
What's going on with the Exiles, or Imperial Kusari Navy if you will?
What's up with the FA? How have they expanded so quickly?
Is Kusari at war with anyone?
What's up with the BD/GC?
Why the hell does the FA have a Legate as a base?
What's up with Hiroshima?
How did Wall Street end up with a tradelane in Honshu?
Hogosha?
Oh, what the hell happened to Osaka?


God I have those and so many more questions.
