Kamisu Hideout is a small underground outpost of the Farmers Alliance on Hikari. Originally, the Farmers Alliance operated a station inside the Hiryo Cloud but due to its location being compromised during the Sigma-59 conflict, the Farmers Alliance with aid of Samura decommissioned the space station and started to establish a planet-side hideout.
The hideout reached fully operational status in 829 A.S. and since serves as Farmers Alliance's answer to the growing number of Synth Foods convoys arriving from Rheinland.

| [835 AS] Gallic threats raise Tau fears |
|
SCALPAY OUTPOST -- 835 -- The Taus are once more on edge, after Gallia threatens the use of force to retrieve the Tau-23 to Tau-31 Jump Gate. Bretonia constructed the first Jump Gate in the system, which was later annexed during the Gallic War. Bretonia was gifted the current Gallic Jump Gate by Kusari during their invasion of Gallia, and has held it since -- with Gallia formally ceding its Tau claims through the Treaty of Rishiri. Bretonia has historically refused to discuss the Gate’s status until its own demands on the extradition of war criminals and payment of Gallic War reparations are met. The Bretonian government has warned that Gallic aggression or threats “will not be tolerated”. |
| [835 AS] Kusari diet passes sweeping defense budget |
|
NEW TOKYO -- 835 -- Kusari’s national diet has passed a sweeping defense budget, allocating significant additional funding to fleet readiness, modernization, and shipbuilding. This has included extensive military contracts for Kure, Yukawa, and Yokohama Shipyards, with Kishiro Technologies and Samura Industries both announcing record hiring programs in response. The new budget also ended the remaining reconstruction funding grants for Planet Kyushu, noting Governor Toho’s termination of the local state of emergency. |
| [835 AS] Bretonia and Rheinland call for de-escalation |
|
CURACAO -- The governments of Bretonia and Rheinland have called on Kusari and Liberty to attempt formal talks, amid fears that continued escalation and military friction could spark war. Queen Carina and Emperor Frederick have offered to mediate an emergency summit on Planet Curacao after Kusari and Liberty imposed mutual sanctions that are already having rippling effects across Sirius. Gallia’s Grand Marshall de Varax meanwhile has condemned Kusari as a “belligerent and destabilizing actor”, and called for Liberty’s demands to be met. Neither Kusari or Liberty has agreed to attend, with each demanding pre-conditions be met by the other. Gallia has not received an invite. |
| [835 AS] Liberty and Kusari trade sanctions |
|
DESHIMA -- 835 -- Liberty’s President Hawthorne has announced sanctions targeting key Kusari high-tech industries, blocking their access to advanced Superconductors and funding. This came following a “security incident” in the Independent Worlds, and a failed Farmers Alliance attack on Deshima Station, which Liberty says is part of a state-endorsed campaign of terrorism against its citizens. Kusari has dismissed the claim as “lurid nonsense”, and responded by banning the export of Optronics to Liberty until its “economic coercion” is ended. Liberty has vowed to increase pressure until Kusari takes steps to eradicate the Farmers Alliance and root out their backers. |

| [835 AS] Agents lost during Deshima strike |
|
KAGOSHIMA -- 835 -- Plans to detonate a bomb aboard Deshima Station and drive out the foreign filth in Shikoku have met with dismal failure. Operatives aboard a hijacked freighter were identified by foul Bounty Hunters and apprehended before the bomb could be detonated. The loss of the device may have consequences for our future plans, and those of our Sponsor. Commander Hiroki Osaka, the disgraced architect of the operation, has vowed to atone for the failure with his life. At dawn, he will embark on a lone assault on Deshima, crashing his vessel into one of the accursed Synth biodomes. |
| [835 AS] Alliance attack on Deshima thwarted |
|
DESHIMA -- 835 -- The Bounty Hunters Guild have confirmed a major terrorist attack on Deshima Station has been thwarted. “Agents of the Farmer’s Alliance were apprehended while attempting to smuggle a large-yield dirty bomb aboard,” confirmed chief security officer Bill Parker. The attempt was foiled thanks to precautions put in place following the deadly Alliance attack on Roppongi Station in 832 AS. According to Parker, “this was the exact same playbook”. The detained crew and fissile material are believed to have been provided to the LSF; Kusari has lodged a furious complaint with Manhattan about the unauthorized interference in its own investigation. |
| [835 AS] Liberty court rules on Platinum dispute |
|
MANHATTAN -- 835 -- Liberty’s Supreme Court has issued its verdict on the Galileo Platinum dispute between DSE, Samura and Kishiro. Ruling in DSE’s favor, the court has ordered the Kusari corporations to end all mining activities in Galileo, and pay compensation to DSE for losses. Kusari’s courts have objected to the ruling, calling it an “unprecedented breach of protocol” due to the Liberty court’s failure to consult and reach a mutual finding on issues of cross-border law. Liberty has threatened to deploy the Navy to evict illegal miners, while Kusari has warned that this would be interpreted as an “illegal act of hostility”. |
| [835 AS] Galileo on the brink |
|
GALILEO -- 835 -- Following an unspecified “security incident” in the Independent Worlds, military forces in Colorado and Shikoku have been ordered to high alert. Observers have raised alarms as the Liberty Navy and Kusari Naval Forces surge to their respective borders, warning of a heightened risk of “accidental escalation” in Galileo. Despite urgent calls for information from local system representatives, the governments of Kusari and Liberty remain tight lipped, other than confirming Manhattan and New Tokyo were in “active dialogue”. Both Houses have since put traffic controls in place, and are actively stopping and searching shipping entering their mutual borders. |
| [834 AS] Kyushu state of emergency ended |
|
PLANET KYUSHU -- 834 -- Governor Ikkaku Toho has rescinded the state of emergency on Planet Kyushu, confirming that much of the devastating storm damage has been repaired. Despite this, many farmers were driven to bankruptcy by the disaster and are now struggling to adapt to Synth Foods’ much enhanced presence within Kusari. Governor Toho has requested enhanced subsidies for Kyushu Rice in response, however New Tokyo has declined, advising that the Empire has other pressing funding requirements that must take priority. |
| [834 AS] Narita renovations bolster strategic independence |
|
NARITA -- 834 -- The completion of long-running works to expand the capacity of Narita Outpost have been jointly praised by the Ministers of Economy and Defense. The ambitious project saw the station’s storage capacity radically expanded, allowing it to service a wider range of foreign trade, and hold larger reserves of goods. “This much needed modernization will tap into the river of prosperity that flows through Kusari, while deterring malign interests who seek to damage Kusari by curtailing access to goods and markets,” noted Trade vice-minister Okazaki. |
| [834 AS] H-Fuel prices spike as market volatility increases |
|
MANHATTAN -- 834 -- H-Fuel prices across Sirius have spiked after demand for future supply contracts surged. This unusual increase has been driven by Liberty corporations who are buying up all surplus stocks, although what has provoked the sudden frenzy remains unknown. Universal Shipping and Synth Foods both declined to comment on their own significant increase in buying activity, however many have noted that neither has the storage capacity to account for the excess. Share prices for Kishiro, GMG and Samura all rose on the news, despite Kusari warning that it may impose export caps on H-Fuel to limit market volatility and curb inflation. |
| [834 AS] Samura struggles with fraudulent claims |
|
SHINJUKU -- 834 -- Following the loss of Roppongi Station, Interspace withdrew most of their services from Kusari. Samura gleefully filled this void, establishing its own domestic insurance brokerage. Samura rapidly encountered trouble when Interspace refused to provide access to its proprietary USI system. This ubiquitous Trade Lane scanner allows Interspace to accurately track cargo shipments for insurance premiums. “Before USI was implemented, we had centuries of experience in fraud mitigation. Samura will learn the hard way,” one IC analyst noted. Samura is believed to have incurred significant losses on insurance in recent years. |
| [834 AS] Treachery in Rheinland! |
|
DARMSTADT -- 834 -- The ungrateful dogs in the LWB have betrayed our common cause. After one of theirs murdered an honorable Alliance technician on Darmstadt, we arrested the perpetrator to answer for her crime. In response, the LWB attacked the prison transport and drove our officers off their bases. Effective immediately, the Elders have diverted all resources and funds out of Rheinland to focus on the struggle in Kusari. Our Benefactor is greatly displeased by these events and has summoned Commander Hiroki Osaka to answer for his failures. The Elders have agreed that we must move forward with our plans for Shikoku immediately to prove our worth and atone for this shameful debacle. |
| [834 AS] Alliance mourns death of Rheinland commander |
|
KAGOSHIMA -- 834 -- The Alliance mourns the loss of Naoaki Kurita, the senior FA commander dispatched to oversee our Rheinland subordinates. This theater has recently claimed many Kusari lives in our war against Synth Foods. The Rheinlanders have blamed these deaths on increased activity by Synth’s corporate lapdogs -- the RFP and Bounty Hunters’ Guild. Kurita is believed to have been traveling through the Cologne System to order the LWB assets stationed there back to Stuttgart. He was intercepted by RFP patrols and fought to the honorable death rather than surrendering. |
| [834 AS] Synth under pressure in Rheinland |
|
KAGOSHIMA -- 834 -- The Rheinlanders have foolishly thrown their doors wide open to Gallic trade, having learned nothing from their history. Gallia unexpectedly secured the removal of controls on agricultural exports; large-scale shipments have already begun through Zurich and Cologne. Synth has been forced to drastically lower their prices in response. We have prohibited our LWB subordinates from targeting these Gallic shipments as they are a useful weapon against Synth Foods’ profits. While the immediate impact on Stuttgart’s independent farmers is unfortunate, this is a necessary evil for the defeat of the Synth menace in Kusari. |
| [833 AS] Kishiro betrays the Kusari people |
|
KAMISU -- 833 -- Kishiro has once again shown its true colors by striking an alliance with the foul foreigners, Synth Foods. The two seek to exploit the Kusari people during a moment of tragedy, following the storms on Kyushu that damaged the exports of nutritious, traditional foodstuffs. We have ordered our subordinates in Rheinland to step up attacks on Synth exports towards the Sigmas, as well as scaling our own attacks within Kusari on both Synth and Kishiro. In the coming months we intend to repeat the victory at Roppongi by delivering another deadly message to Deshima Station, striking fear into invaders and traitors alike. We shall strike as soon as the necessary supplies have been procured. |
| [833 AS] Kyushu Faces Rising Temperatures And Falling Profits |
|
Kyushu, the key to Samura's monopoly on the organically-grown food industry, has faced rising ocean temperatures lately, owing to a vast temperature surge in the mantle plume underneath its largest ocean. This has been compounded by the resultant eruption of several underwater volcanoes, releasing enormous quantities of greenhouse gases into the planet's atmosphere. Partially as a result of the geological activity, the equatorial monsoon season produced some of the strongest tropical storms ever recorded on Kyushu since its colonisation. These storms devastated the world's agricultural sector as they blew through the most fertile tropical lowlands, destroying as much as 20%% of the planet's annual crop yield, on top of damage to infrastructure and tragic loss of human life. Many rural communities are reported to be struggling, with some farming communities still remaining flooded ghost towns even a month after the worst of the storms abated, though smaller-scale tempests still rage around the equator. A Samura spokesperson outlined the company's intent to restore the planet and its communities to full productivity by the middle of next year, despite the ongoing circumstance. |
| [832 AS] Battleship Matsuda Meets Its Demise! |
|
It had long been rumored that the grand Battleship Himeji had not been lost in the Tohoku system as previously thought; That it had been brought back and given a second life by the unlawful elements that are the antithesis of the Kusari state. This rumor had been proven true as the Kusari Office of Intelligence reported movements of a Meiji-class Battleship in the Kyushu system, deploying Golden Chrysanthemum fighter wings that seemed to deliberately target Kusari patrols in the northern part of the system. Immediately upon learning of this, Battleship Matsumoto and its battlegroup were redeployed from Hokkaido, and within two days were poised and ready to face this new threat. Only a short few hours later, a patrol of fighters reported a warship with the transponder reading Battleship Matsuda operating in the relative open, heading for but not yet reaching the relative safety of the Seiran Dust Cloud. Matsumoto itself departed with its escort to confront the Chrysanthemum battleship, close to the edge of the nebula. Within minutes of it coming into sensor range, bomber and fighter squadrons from both sides closed in and opening salvos were exchanged between the battleships. It didn't take long before the KNF's preparation was shown to be well worthwhile; their superior numbers whittled down or otherwise preoccupied the Chrysanthemum's fighter force leaving a variety of openings in the Matsuda's defensive cover for KNF bombers to exploit. While the Matsumoto was withstanding a heavy beating from the guns of its older sister, it was plain that the Matsuda was slowly being whittled away as its shields began to fail and the very same engine design flaws that had rendered it immobile in KNF service were now exploited by bomber wings to once again cripple the warship. After several more minutes, the Matsuda's escape pods began to eject from the ailing battleship, picked up by Chrysanthemum fighters as they fled deeper into the Seiran dust cloud. It didn't take long thereafter for the ship's powercore to falter and fail completely, culminating in a vast explosion that reportedly almost turned night to day on the dark side of Planet Kyushu, if only for a split second. Matsumoto itself sustained moderate damage in the engagement, relatively untouched by Chrysanthemum bombers however still suffering the ill effects of Matsuda's anti-capital weaponry. Despite its damage, it remains deployed in the Kyushu system to continue the blockade of the cardamine trade and to serve as a show of force to any who would challenge the might of the Emperor. |
| [832 AS] On the Nose |
|
NEW TOKYO -- 832 AS -- Multiple tips from unknown sources have aided, upon investigation, in exposing the abuse of Cardamine between numerous members of the Kusari Keiretsu. Intense work hours have pushed both the youths and the senior citizens towards the consumption of the drug, which is more readily available than ever before, partially due to the foreigner presence upon Roppongi Station. However, with the recent Farmers Alliance bombing on Roppongi seemingly linked to the sudden increase in Cardamine use among Kusari's businessmen, New Tokyo's residents have expressed sympathy towards the perpetrators, speculating that the Alliance's blatant admission to such a vicious act is not to be taken as a boast or a threat, but as a sign that they will not allow their friends and families to be preyed upon by the greed of corporations that, "do not belong anywhere near our home", said Katsuyori Ichihara, Samura Industries financial consultant, and survivor of the Roppongi attack. "I don't blame them", Mr. Ichihara continued, "that vile drug destroys families." Due to recent events, Samura Industries has taken it upon itself to act as a substitute for Interspace Commerce within the insurance market and many citizens have already expressed gratitude to Samura and their willingness to provide more financially preferable contracts than what the old management offered. |
| [832 AS] Houses outraged by Roppongi attack |
|
NEW TOKYO -- 832 -- Kusari has received blistering criticism from the other Houses after the destruction of Roppongi Station. Roppongi hosted House embassies in Kusari, and was a major business hub for foreign companies. Liberty’s President Hawthorne is said to be “incandescent” over the attack, which killed Ambassador Luisa Mason and her aides. She has threatened consequences unless Kusari exert all “means and resources” towards the Farmers Alliance’s eradication, and announced the LSF will be taking “enhanced measures” to protect Liberty citizens. Interspace Commerce has quadrupled its bounties on Alliance targets. Kusari has opened an inquest into the attack. |
| [832 AS] Terror in Tokyo orbit! |
|
ROPPONGI -- 832 -- In the worst terrorist attack in recent Kusari history, the Farmers Alliance have detonated a dirty bomb aboard Roppongi Station. Emergency responders are still working to rescue victims, however the known death toll has already risen to the thousands. Planet New Tokyo has gone into immediate lockdown amid fears Roppongi may break apart and rain radioactive debris upon the capitol. The Farmers Alliance broadcast a manifesto the following day, accusing Roppongi of “corrupting the soul of Kusari’s youth” -- alleging the widespread sale of the drug Cardamine. Interspace has condemned the attack as a barbaric and senseless atrocity. |

| [832 AS] Exorcising demons |
|
KAGOSHIMA -- 832 -- Foreign influences are corroding the soul of Kusari’s youth. No-where is this more evident than Deshima Station -- a foul Synth Foods stronghold, and Roppongi Station -- a den of Cardamine and frivolous distractions. Our Patron has finally seen the wisdom of our arguments, and has provided us with a righteous device that must be used against Roppongi. This weapon will disable their docking bays, sending the ultimate warning: cease your evil ways, and leave immediately -- or face the ultimate consequences! |
| [832 AS] Interspace auditors re-open files |
|
ROPPONGI -- 832 -- Interspace auditors working aboard Roppongi Station have reportedly re-opened the historic claims file relating to Osaka Storage Facility. The Samura station was allegedly destroyed through Blood Dragon sabotage in 822 AS, shortly after Samura purchased what some have called a “significantly overvalued” insurance policy. Insider Interspace sources claim the investigation was launched after random spot checks in seemingly unrelated cases detected anomalies that linked back to Osaka. Neither Interspace nor Samura have responded to requests for comment. |
| [832 AS] Kusari's plight |
|
KAGOSHIMA -- 832 AS -- Synth Foods' audacity knows no bounds. They use the tragedy on Kyushu as an opportunity to gouge the people of Kusari with their imported slime. We cannot allow this. There can be no room for Synth in Kusari. Alliance intervention is necessary now more than ever, using the most extreme measures available to us. We must commit ourselves fully to our mission unless we wish to live under the jackboot of Liberty and its vile corporate interests! Hives of foreign filth must be expunged from Kusari -- Roppongi and Deshima must fall. |
| [832 AS] A foul wind |
|
KYUSHU -- 833 AS -- Ravaged by the worst storms in Kyushu's history, bustling farming communes have been thrown into total disarray. Local authorities are struggling to address the severe infrastructure damage caused by the violent typhoons and flooding, while the number of dead and missing has risen to the tens of thousands. Many communities are directly calling for external aid, as assistance from Imperial authorities has been slow to arrive. In response, Samura has demanded the restoration of their planetary management contract, which they claim will prevent imminent food insecurity. What was forecast to be a bountiful harvest now only offers grim tidings. |
| [832 AS] ALG pose unexpected threat |
|
KAGOSHIMA DEPOT -- 832 -- The blow dealt to the Liberty intruders on Roppongi Station was a great victory for the people of Kusari. Roppongi peddled foreign filth to New Tokyo’s youth, contaminating them with Synth Paste and Cardamine. Unfortunately, this great victory now poses a threat to our future. ALG Waste Disposal is currently negotiating for a contract to decontaminate and dismantle the wreckage. Our benefactors have advised that this operation could reveal the source of the fissile material used in the attack. This is unacceptable for our long term objectives, and must be prevented at all costs. ALG must now be considered a priority target across Kusari. |
| [831 AS] Jump Hole Upheaval Causes Chaos |
|
HEISENBERG -- 831 AS -- Jump holes across Sirius have become increasingly volatile and chaotic over the last year, with Professor Sophia Nagel from the Heisenberg Research Station linking the unusual phenomena to the Pulse. The Pulse was an unprecedented blast of hyperspace energy that was detected immediately prior to last year's Jump Gate Blackout. Professor Nagel and her team are certain the Pulse originated from outside Sirius, but are otherwise no closer to identifying its source or mitigating a future Blackout event. "Following the Blackout, we began to see immediate signs of jump hole destabilization in multiple different regions, with many ultimately falling out of phase alignment altogether", she commented. The dramatic upending of Sirius' jump hole network has already prompted many groups to abandon stations and withdraw from systems that appear to risk being cut off. While months-long trips between the stars are possible thanks to the Liberty Engine and many centuries of innovation, few ships are designed or provisioned to make such arduous journeys. Those who were displaced by Sirius' redrawn map hope that system connections will return, while adventurers and explorers rush to discover new routes. |
| [801 AS] Kusari imposes embargo on Rheinland |
|
NEW TOKYO -- 801 -- Shogun Edo has announced that a full economic embargo of Rheinland will be imposed by Kusari due to the outrages of the Colony Wars. Liberty’s President Jacobi has taken a leading role in mediation between Rheinland and the other Houses, with the Provisional Rheinland Government offering a message of condolence to the Kusari people for the actions of the toppled previous regime. Despite this, Kusari has remained resolute that no normalization of relations will be considered until full reparations are made for the devastation in Honshu and New Tokyo, and the many crimes Kusari alleges were perpetrated there. |
| [801 AS] Rheinland ends all hostilities |
|
FULDA -- 801 -- With the disappearance of Chancellor Niemann and the installation of the Liberty-backed Provisional Rheinland Government, an immediate cessation of all hostilities has been ordered. Rheinland forces have begun withdrawals on all fronts. Reports from Kusari have confirmed that the Northern Fleet has retreated from New Tokyo and Honshu, however it has not returned to Rheinland or recognized the authority of the PRG. Government sources believe the fleet may have deserted, with Rheinland's remaining loyalist security forces being ordered to high-alert as a precaution against pro-Niemann coup attempts. |
