The Kusari Exiles [size=medium](4.86)

Information

Men, it is my responsibility to brief you today on the events of the last few weeks.

Every nation is measured by how it reacts to the dark days, and these are dark days for Kusari, and how we react will show future generations how the noble Kusari nation deals with adversity. We, here in the cloud in Newcastle, and those still loyal to us, we are the last vestiges of the true Kusari government. In the days to come our struggle will get harder, not easier. But out there, in our future, there is a return to Kusari, and a return to Kusari noble and honored past and future.

Things have happened quickly over the last few weeks, and we have found our situation dramatically changed. When the Gallic forced moved into Tau 31 and cut us off from the main body of the KNF in the Taus, politicians in Kishiros pocket, launched a political coup in the Council of the Rising Suns, using my absence to push through a change of government. These villains will have their time, but they cannot hold out against the true honor of Kusari, and the Kusari people will soon see that and demand change.
After a Gallic attack on my very own ship, the Satsuma in Leeds, and a fierce battle to help defend the Leeds Jumpgate, we were forced to withdraw, pulling back into the clouds on Newcastle, where we can safely launch operations, and maintain our supply lines, if needed through the Gaian base Skye.

The first thing this new farce of a government did was to make peace with Gallia, and the Bretonia. They have shown themselves to be weak, and the Kusari people will never accept a weak government for long. We could easily attack these forces, but it is not the pilots of the KNF who are weak, nor the soldiers who are evil, but instead the Kishro leadership that is at fault. We know though, that a direct confrontation will serve little purpose and only create ill will toward us from our people. We have seen how futile the Blood Dragons have been in over 400 years. We will not make this mistake.

We have had to make a hard choice, as we cannot maintain our fight against both the Gallic invaders and the Bretonian forces. The Bretonians have been honest enemies, as opposed to the Gallics, sending in spies, and bringing overtures of friendship while massing their forces. We have made an agreement with the Bretonians, who will help us with supplies, while we focus on our main goal, which is the defeat of the Gallic Navy.

So here we find ourselves, in a cloud in Newcastle, or in orbit of Harris, exiled from our home, until such time as we have redeemed ourselves to our people. We are not totally alone, we have true friends both here and in Kusari. The honorable pilots of the Farmers Alliance have remained loyal, even at the cost of their own status in Kusari, and their facilities in Tau 42, as well as their voice in Kusari will serve our struggle well.

Close to us, we have our old friends the Gaians, who have stood by us in our campaign versus the Bretonians. They have also been ousted from their home by the Gallic Navy, and we hope to continue our mutual support in planning and carrying out attacks.

From our headquarters, here in the Newcastle cloud, we shall begin to launch attacks against the GRN In Tau 31 and Leeds. Our ultimate goal of course is the destructions of the GRN, which will bring about our redemption in Kusari.

You are allied with Gians or just friendly?

Whats the difference?

[Panzer]

Zelot, I'll be blunt - the reason I no-liked Kusari and ended up pewing was attitude incompatibility alone.

Pew gallia together and think about who should be emporer later?

[/serious]

Edit: Cleared up. Forget it.

[Ryummel]

Whats the difference?

Chimaeras with Gaian shooters, I guess.

Anyway, is it still staying as closed faction?

[6:10:19 PM] Dabbykins: You might want to change the first goal to just say "Strikes against Gallic forces"
[6:10:24 PM] Dabbykins: Instead of Tau-29/31
[6:10:26 PM] Dabbykins: Technically
[6:10:31 PM] Dabbykins: The Exiles can't GET to Tau-29.
[6:10:37 PM] Dabbykins: That's why they couldn't return to Kusari
[6:10:48 PM] Dabbykins: You'd be fighting Gallia in 31, Edinburgh, and Leeds more often than anywhere else.
[6:12:16 PM] Dabbykins: Also, why do the Exiles use Renzu ships, and I don't see much use for Exile Logistic craft except stuff like repair ships
[6:12:35 PM] Dabbykins: The Exiles don't go around trading, IIRC, they are supplied by the Bretonians in exchange for their assistance against Gallia.
[6:14:16 PM] Dabbykins: Also, Kusari Exiles shouldn't be going into Tau-37, 65/63 (wtf? Those are the GC and BD guard systems, you have no business there, they shouldn't be in your ZoI), 39, 42, or 45. 29 is very iffy.

I'd be very interested in what the Ronin's stance is towards the IMG, seeing as they are forced into a neutral'ish middleground (again) with no way of chosing a side without losing a lot of important space thanks to the Orkney-T23 Jh. (damn, I wish it was placed in T31 as a T31-Orkney way...)

It seems that IMG is not counted as Sirian "lawfuls" for most people, that's why I'm asking. Also, there is a big difference between the Council, "Gallic Unlawfuls" and "Gallic Unlawfuls". I know your reputation with others will have to be decided upon via ingame actions - or at least I think so?! - and therefore no details will be fixed but it still interests me.

About the faction overall ... well, we knew it had to be made. The story says so.

[Zelot]

The diplomacy is a basic starting point and will become more specific as gameplay starts.

As for the ZOI, these are places we might possibly go from time to time, Anywhere not in that chart is completely off limits, no acceptation, that ZOI is hard and fast, I am just trying to give a general idea of where we might be and where we absolutely, positively wont go.
