The Tale of Hakodate Fortress

[WesternPeregrine]

The tale of Hakodate Fortress, and how its Lord Nobukatsu, protector of Hokkaido, fell to the schemes of the Golden Chrysanthemums.

Lord Nobukatsu, a minor noble under Samura's patronage, was declared civilian governor and protector of Hokkaido by the imperial authorities, in 786 A. S.With the powerful backing of Samura, and tasked with protecting the keiretus investments in Sapporo and the Chugoku gate, Nobukatsu worked hard to gather a formidable militia force.

Although the Emperor had agreed to give Naval Forces protection to the Chugoku gate, the long paths in Hokkaido were fraught with various dangers, such as radiation and navigational hazards, as well as the strongest presence of rebellious forces within Kusari space. Nobukatsu gathered men and equipment from all places in Kusari, gathering a lot of ronin warriors and hogosha muscle, in such a way that he was almost considered as a hogosha oyabun as well a nobleman. His warriors attained a fierce reputation within the belligerent circles of Kusari, and their skill in the Hokkaido wilderness and ferocity in combat had given them the nickname, The Hokkaido Wolves.

Nobukatsu was determined to eradicate the enemies he fought for so long, and saw the Chugoku Gate as the masterpiece that would achieve that goal.
However, he was aware that as long as the pirates of the GC remained strong in the system, the court would not move in strength to deal the final blow before they were dealt with.
