15.April. 3042

For draconian scientists, the reign of Theodore was a golden age, there was not much to add to this statement. The realm had become rich and so also the founding for research in general was plentiful, it was an age of growing for the Combine, even when the next conflicts just waited next door, be it rimwards or corewards.

[Turn 14:RP] "Seiun yōsai" Station
-coordinates classified-
The station was still one of the best hidden secrets of the Draconis Combine, but not much longer and it will be unveiled. Built due to the needs of increased production capacity, the Coordinator had announced the start of an ambitious project over a year ago. The official opening ceremony will be held in July 3042 but functioning was this behemoth already.

The Star Adder - Code of Zellbrigen was  included with a note that each Clan apparently has their own interpretation of the rules. There is also a holovid with some of their weapons capabilities taken during pre-trial exercises.

“Greeting, I am Colonel Jeremiah Sagehorn of the Kamakura's Hussars. I am making this vid so that you can see firsthand how devastating the power and range the Clan Weapons are. Please disseminate this information to other commanders so they may best prepare for the defense of the Confederation. I expect that due to their advanced technology they might still get the better of us despite them allowing us superior numbers for this trial. They’ve opted to fight our Heavy Mech Company with only five of their own machines. I’ve picked the twelve best pilots we have to give us the best chance at defeating them. If they stick to their terms, we may be able to prevent the first domino from falling. If we fail, then all is not lost. We did find that one of their terms, Safcon, would us to request our remaining troops to withdraw since they were not bid in their declaration of possessions to trial. Two days from now, we shall meet on the training fields. Footage of the battle should be available from the units participating in the "circle” of warriors that watch."

The BattleROM footage shows that it was a close battle, but the adders were allowed to engage one at a time which evened things out more then expected. The speed and devastating short ranged firepower seemed to be the determining factor. By the end of the battle, it was two on two, but one of the Hussar mechs, a beat up Marauder, was shut down from heat while the other, a Catapult, was missing it's left side and and was out of ammo on it's missiles. The more efficient streaks systems kept the clan mechs fed throughout the fight while their Ultra auto-cannons stripped armor as a break-neck pace. The two remaining pilots were allowed to yield and taken bondsmen with the other 6 pilots that survived the fight. True to their code, the Hussars were allowed to withdraw.

-DC embassy-

Since the Capellans were already seeing the first fights against the clans, it took only little time before the DC ambassador asks for a copy of the ruleset of the clans "honorable way of fighting"... "Zellbrignen" or how they call it"

"strategical meeting"

"So here we see the informations we have on the deep periphery. According to the Meeting C* held on Terra a few years ago... Strana Mechty should be about here..."

The map showed up, warlords, and regents began to nodd and mumble.

" Estimated traveltime are, with our current possibilities between 3.5 and 4 years. We will have to bypass Rest Stop, the New delphi compact around the Gum Nebula beween the "clans gate" as we call it... a area between Gum Nebula and the Caliban Nebula, which is called "Veil of the Protector" by the clans and from there it is another 480 light years. Abou 150 light years from the Aldrin Nebula."

" Well, thats a shame... for now. But when they think they can bring war to our beloved inner-sphere and stay unharmed and safe at home, they are direly wrong. "

An evil smile made the round.

" Yet, what about the differences between the stated coordinates by C* and their shown map? Do we have clarification about it?"

"We haven't... if the coordinates are right, as they were stated by Anastasius Focht, Strana Mechty should be on the same radius, but about 15 degrees counterclockwards. "

" Can we somehow clarify this?"

" We can invite Mister Focht over. "

" Agreed. Sent out a invitation for a strategic meeting to Mister Focht. I wish to speak to him personally, we haven't seen in a long time, apparently since Terra. "

Now, only the Coordinator smiled, it had been a lucky day for him, besides what happened then.

The Princess-elect addressed her ministers.  "So the KungsArme will continue its operations vs. the Lady Death Pirates.  Now we turn to our response to the "clans" that are invading the FWL, the CC, and some of the periphery states at those borders.  I feel that we would not be living up to our ideals of freedom and liberty by waiting for these "clans" to come knocking on our door..."

"The warrior caste"

Now, the clans weren’t the only ones with a five caste system. So was the Combine… and while not the top class the warrior class was still the second class, after the nobles. Therefore respect was high for them and the art of war was considered the ultimate deed one could offer as sign of loyality. Lately the Coordinator hat greatly founded the fleet and while this was a military interest, the majority of the DC-military were ground warriors, who haven’t seen much of the Coordinators attention lately. So it came surprisingly that the Coordinator had addressed the noble warrior clans that resided within the Combine. Many families within the Combine watched this noble ancestors with great awe, wether they beared their name or not. Even larger was the surprise when they heard what else the Coordinator had on his mind for the coming quartal and it brought him a lot of sympathy with the caste…
“ Is it wise to arm the warriors not enlisted in the dragons army with mechs father?”
“ In ancient japan, every warrior was allowed to wear a sword. In imperial japan this was forbidden but so was the true way of bushido. Yet, we are honoring this traditional code of honor, trying to achieve their glorious way of life. But we can never achieve it to the fullest, as we are hindred by a structure that was invented thousand of years later. “
“ But hasn’t there be a reason why it turned out this way?”
“ Yes, there has. But to further strengthen the honorable samurai spirit, we also have to advance. By this measure, we will bring the way that the Genyosha is already going, to a broad position of people. Faring teachers of swordmanship we must have, families giving their weapons from one generation to the next, additionally with their skills. The large academies, we already have… like Su-Tzang, but true swordmanship comes at the path of solitude. Enlightenment on devotion and the greatness of deed on humbleness. “
Theodores words had truth within, but wandering masters of arms and armed planetary chairman houses also brought a problem of control with them. Yet, with the coming of the clans it was clearly what the Coordinator wanted to show… “You have 20 clans counting a few billion on a dozen of worlds and 500 years of tradition. We do have hundreds of clans, counting 800billion on hundreds of worlds and thousands of years of tradition. “

"Black Dragon under pressure"

Indrahar Subhash was marching in long steps towards the Coordinators private chambers, the door was opened for himfrom some servants and inside he automatically fell to his knees to appropiatly greet the Coordinator who was sitting on his throne. When he raised his head again he found Chandrahar Sekhar and the head of the Order of five Pillars, the Keeper of House Honor… Florimel Kurita-Calderon. It caught him by surprise… and he was wondering what meeting was going on between this three. “Welcome Indrahar-sama” said Florimel. Since her husband and she have traveled to Combine territory and since Constance had left the O5P, she had been introduced to this important position. Also, with the current situation in the Taurian Concordat, her position as high-ambassador had become obsolete. Nobody would risk her life by letting her be there any longer.
“ Greetings, Keeper of House Honor. “ he replied. This was bad…
“ What brings you before me?” asked Theodore.
“ It is, the sunrise my lord… “
Florimel raised an eyebrow.
“ Continue… “ said Theodore, leaning back.
“ I was informed that you have solely introduced it towards… Florentius. “
Florimel looked up, that was the codename her brother beared.
“ Correct. Don’t you think it is most fitting for him? After all the battles he fought against ComStar?”
“ With all due respect… wouldn’t it have been better, if…”
“If you do it? Indrahar, you are chief to my entire security force… you shouldn’t have the time for this. Regardless of the importance that the Sunrise is to our realm. “
“ I…”
“ I think you understand well…”
“… Yes my lord, “ he bowed deeply. Once more, the second house has messed with his affairs. Indrahar was furious. Florentius had become a main issue to his plans and he had the feeling that he has earned the mistrust somehow…. He was already on the leave when Theodore once more spoke up.
“ Indrahar… the O5P has found a hideout of a mischievous organization calling itself “the black dragon society.” Apparently it seems Markus was in it, but he has met his fate. You wouldn’t know anything about them.
For a moment he thought his heart would stop, immediately he turned around bowing his head. “ I am ashamed but I have never heard of them. But if you wish I will instantly start the search for them.”
Florimel was smiling
“ I am looking forward to your success Indrahar-sama. “
“ My deepest thank for your kindness. “ When exactly had this humble… girl… become this intrigant? He would have to move fast… and left the scene under continued bowing.
“Now, back to topic. I want to speak to JADE Enterprises and the heads of the FRN. I have a plan on the urgent matter with the clans… and apparently this is also needed for the sunrise. “
“Please, share your enlightend thoughts with us, “ said Florimel while uncle Chandy just smiled from one ear to another. Apparently, he already knew.

Canopus


The Periphery Pact Members were quite under fire, also they didn’t manage to become present in the ISDF, mostly due to their own faults. Yet the representative of the ARAR, Amilcar Florez-Castro was traveling between Martian Hegemony and Lothian Palantine. Being a probatory member didn’t help. The Coordinator anouncing the “Realm of the Dragon” also not, asking himself what else President Neil Avellar had agreed on... Yet, the ARAR is seeing much improvements, be it on the civilian, social-economic or military part. He heard rumors about a carrier named “RNS-Alpheratz” that was currently headed home.
Now he entered the Magistracies Palace. To talk to them about the defensive strategy. At least he hadn’t to travel towards Taurus, as the Kurita-Calderon family would take care of that. They must find a way to hold of the clans longer, so the ISDF and the PACT could engage more effective counter-meassures.
