Battle for Yanagi

[Pinko]

Hey you know if the Hogosha and Junkers want to blast away at each other then I say go for it!

But capturing bases - especially the two mentioned - isnt really feasible, and here is why:

Kamakura is a SECRET Hogosha base. Its existence is but a rumour. Not even the GMG role-play any awareness of that base, so how will the Junkers be able to claim it for themselves?

Yanagi on the other hand, is certainly not a secret. The Junkers are there doing the crud-work for ALG in the Yanagi field. To be sure, shady characters are said to frequent the base - but the Congress doesnt permit known criminals (and their capital ships) to loiter around the area.

To the organisers I would say this: Hold your event a little further away to the 'north' of Yanagi. Fights have a tendancy to move around - and one doesnt want to have the fight spill over onto the lawful tradelanes now?

By keeping it away from prying eyes, one can justify keeping the event as a grudge match between the two factions.

To say "if the GMG comes we will call the Corsairs LOL!" is disingenuous at best. In pure RP terms, the GMG are on home turf - and more than capable of dealing with such threats.

Dont forget that the Rheinland Military now cooperates with the GMG in Sigma-13 - another reason to keep the fight clear of the tradelanes.

And finally - if the Hogosha call in the Corsairs - what is to stop certain Junker smugglers from calling in help from the Outcasts? My god could we see something that looks like a typical 4.84 day in Sigma-13? ;)

So sure - go ahead and have your fun - but keep it away from potential escalation points.

Exactly why we'll keep this Hogosha vs Junker only.
