History:
Founded 818 AS, The Order of the White Dragons (Commonly known as White Dragons) are a society of Samurai's and Warriors who wish to protect the Empire from outside and inside, paranormal and alien threats.
The Daimyo, after managing to somehow escape from the Golden Chrysanthemums capture and headed to Battleship Matsumoto. Where he began to tell of more outside threats then Gaijin traders and Bretonia. Which was all stonewalled so to speak and thrown aside.
The White Dragons operate out of Kansai Research Station, Nansei Research Complex, and known Kusari Naval Force's stations. Station of operation is Nansei Research Complex.
The White Dragons are an underground Branch of elite Kusari Naval Forces and Kusari State Police. They operate free of both KNF and KSP, yet answer only to the Emperor and Shogun.
Rumors also state that the White Dragons also work with the Hogosha to get a supply of artifacts for research, but that is all classified.
Rules of the White Dragons:
1.) Be ready to deploy in any part of Kusari space and/or Allied Systems. 2.) Never use open Communications. We are neither to be seen nor heard. We are Ghosts within Kusari Space. Open Communications is considered "System Communications" we are allowed to use "Local Communications". 3.) Pirates are not of our concern. We deal with the Paranormal and Alien threats to Kusari. We will not help KNF/KSP or any other Lawful vessel in the area unless dealing with something in our jurisdiction. 4.) Listen to KNF and KSP Broadcast reports. If they find a vessel containing, Nomadic or Alien Artifacts, move in to intercept. Destroy the Target if needed. 5.) Though we operate out of the Naval Forces and State Police Chain of Command, Respect they're wises. If the ship/person in question is carrying Artifacts, Nomads, Wild, or Nomadic Weaponary. You are to take control of the situation. 6.) All Missions and Intel are considered Classified. 7.) Operations outside the Zone of Influence are to be reported directly to the Daimyo for premission to carry on. However, Operations that involve chasing down and destroying an Alien target can proceed without premission from the Daimyo. 8.) We are not to get involved with Pirates, Smugglers (unless Artifact Smugglers), and the War. Tau-29 is as far as we go. We don't have time for childish games with the Bretonian War. We are to protect Kusari Space from Paranormal and Alien threats. 9.) Any Civilian, Un-authorized Naval/Police Personnel, Traders, Smugglers, Pirates found near the White Dragons base of operation are to be turned around by any means necessary. Destruction of target ship is last resort. Alien/Paranormal Threats are to be destroyed on sight. 10.) Nomads/Keepers/CS/Phantoms/Wild are to be engaged and destroyed on sight. 11.) If an Alien vessel is spotted within another House space, contact the authorities of that house and ask if they require assistance. If they do not respond, deploy over there quickly.
Rules of Engagement
1.) Never gang up on a single target if the target is by itself. (Ie. 3 or more people attacking a lone Dragon.)
2.) Respect your enemy and never underestimate them.
3.) If they flee for a Tradelane, leave them.
4.) If they flee in cruise engines, leave them.
5.) Anything larger then a Bomber shall have atleast four people attacking it. Two of those four needs to be in a fighter.
