The unit has not been moving with the fleet, or seen in some time. Narhal's Raiders air support unit will replace them in the formation along with Hell's Black Aces

While the cloisters of the O5P begun to train and indoctrinate more and more students and the samurai clans began to arm up once again, the children of all castes found themselves in their morning routine.
As always, before lessons started they stood in formation for the morning assembly. The head of the student council stood on a podest, huge video screens turned on and they all began to sing the battou-tai-march... and with the revival of the samurais, this became fearsomly "fitting".

Of course, besides the newcomers, nobody needed the video, it was even regarded as shame if you had to look up and read it while singing. So even the newcomers would find themselves under pressure to learn it within their first week on the school, by teachers and by their fellow students.
After the singing, that should "raise spirits", the principal or a teacher had a word in front of the students announcing upcoming events or making announcements. Sometimes the student council also spoke towards their fellow students. Afterwards were physical exercises to follow, a short morning routine of tai-chi to energize for a day full of studies.
There was more to it than first eyes met. in draconian schools there were largely no janitors, the students had cleaning duty, the students had a patrol to control students. And the student council managed student affairs. The morning assembly, staying and marching in formation as exercising in formation indoctrinated them, readied them for service in the name of the dragon. And since the beginning of the 3040 year, Coordinator Takashi Kurita had introduced "patriotism" as school subject, it was even more effective.

Last post by Altrak - May 14, 2015, 05:32:15 AMBoulivan Escara-Moles, Kaori Matsumoto and their Capellan Counterpart were indeed having fierce and heavy talks this days. Normally, Security Council meetings were closed but at least the results will be given out to the parlaiment.
Mr. Focht had made quite the appearance before the Council and a very hot discussion lead and following points were cleared out:
1.) The Draconis Combine Admirality was installing a mobile command center within the Capellan Confederation.
2.) The Draconis Combine will install a Command Curcuit, from Kervil, the current stationing point of the second large ISDF-Strike Force and immediate Front-move of the non-mobile forces. Also Chairman-General Focht and the draconian ambassador will try to get the Federated Commonwealth to allow movement through their territory for these forces and their war-material.
3.) The ISDF-Forces of the Strike Force "Jade Lion" had reached their target location.
4.) The Draconian Auxilliars, the Okami, will start moving out their first deployment of troops. And have started contact, with Taurian and Canopian rulership via the DC-ambassadors in both realms. Being in support range for both realms, but currently unable to move more troops. Side-arrangements are being made.

"Now, with the latest news of an orbital bombardment by these "clans"... can we start gathering the support we will need to pass an initiative to dedicate more support to the ISDF?" The Princess-Elect looked around at her staff and ministers. This time there were more grim and determined looks on their faces, along with nods of agreement. Rasalhagians could sympathize with those being suppressed, those living without liberty. This sort of extermination was foreign to them. The thought that such a thing could ever happen to a planet in their realm spurred them into action...

"Eirik, the latest communications form home of concerning. There has been very light communications from the Magistracy and the Concordat since the Clans started their invasions."
"Ja, Yason, I donna beleave da day vill be able ta elp our omes. Me Dróttning, Lady Lorelei , has send dat ve arr ta see ifn da ISDF vill be able ta send any elp."
Jason took a moment to understand his friends broken common, but after so long together it seemed to flow better. "It also seems like the Hegemony will be sending out their own ambassador as quick as possible, but that will take much to long. Funny how that works now that things have gone critical in the periphery. We have been given leave to act as their vote in council until someone arrives."
"Ja, my friend, da Marions while elping are omes did seem ta lik dat day wer da biggun brutes on da block. Now aften readen da latist report da ave started ta be vinr ta us all. Even do da canna stand ta da clanners dare fylking vill elp."
"Well shall we see what the council is talking about?"

Reports are incoming that after announcing that after "They don't want to cause civilian casualities." Clan Star Adders warship fleet orbital bombarded cities on Herotitus. The descendants of the Star League seem to have lost the values of life in their travel through space. Ambassador Shin Honda of the Draconis Combine, stated on a interview here on Canopus "That such atrocities are the worst. " Calling that the Clan Star Adder is honorless as ComStar itself by doing this murderous act. Massiv troop movements of the Inner-Sphere-Defense-Force and Draconian Auxilliars are currently moving rimwards to meet the threat to the just achieved peace.
" We managed to have peace for less than three months in the Inner-Sphere, then the clans came... " Shin Honda was once more quoted, " after all the hard work we have yet another warmonger knocking on our door. The crimes done by the Clans will be answered, I have contacted the ISDF-HQ and the Coordinator, help is on the way, we just have to stay strong until then. "
With this, we close this report, hoping that the evil in our middle will meet judgement!
Somewhere in the FWL
A lone user was seeing the news on his personal computer, after the report a window popped up:
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE?
and of course... he clicked... being moved to a talkshow... "SPHERE_TALK" was its name and the todays tematic: "CLANS"...
"Now this wannabes from outer space come back after running from the conflicts and what do they do upon arriving? Bombarding Herotitus. They are just as the Star League of old... a brutal regime!"
" You can't just say the Star League was a brutal regime, prosper growth derived from it, it were days of glory and many people still look up to these days. "
"Yes, exactly, glorification of old days is exactly what we do NOT need. The young generations have forgotten how bad it was and even this new attempts with the ISDF are yet another wanna-be-Star League, founded on hatred Mercs and Clans have on ComStar. And this former peacekeeper, has also turned nuts. "
" The ISDF is a chance for many that stand between the conflicts of the great houses and apparently it is accepted by all but two."
" And this wo rule over more than 50% of the Inner Sphere, they are not worth their name... HalfSphere and not Overun Periphery Defense Force maybe. Where is their participation in the conflict? What have they done to save the Taurians or the Canopians? What have they done against ComStar?... That's right... Nothing!"
" The ISDF is in a building and founding process, its not even a full year old and you have to organize and bypass old hatred and conflicts. "
" Well, if they take so long, nothing will be left of the Inner-Sphere or Periphery before its orbital bombed away by the Clanners. Apparently all seem to have forgotten the values of warfare... like the Ares Conventions."
" The Great houses are upholding the conventions since the first succession war, and they are upholding it more than ever since the disasters of Northwind and Outreach occurred. "
"Yet they are building one warship after another... and when there is one thing true, than... that a weapon will be used, if its there. It is only a matter of time until we see disastrous destruction like in the first succession war and we once more will face dark times. "
" I don't share your ill visions. The houses have changed... look for instance at the current politics we see from the Draconis Combine... the realm is evolving and opening up. "
" Also they arm up like crazy, having the estimated largest fleet and giving out weapons to everyone who is not a work-slave. "
" They do however do not use heavy armed warships and use mostly corvettes that are not effective in orbital bombardment!"
" Nonetheless they also have the largest and best armed ships in the inner sphere!"
" This may be true, but they have taken it from ComStar itself. While doing a great politic on unifying the inner-sphere. For instance the Coordinator has reformed completely the plans for the ISDF that were announced by house Liao. "
" Yes, they have so that they currently rule within their so called Defense Force, the other nations can't even really participate and the ARAR is only a marionette to the Dragons will. And the house Liao... o don't start with them, they have started this whole mess when they begun this century with another territorial war. "
" The conflict between the FC and the CC was no surprise, a lot of old feuds were hanging unresolved in the air and still are. Yet I believe that we will see at least some cooperation against the invaders from outside. "
" I doubt that, the houses will continue their shadowy war, and we will be the once that will bleed for it. No good came ever from nobility and all but one repuplic in this inner-sphere are mere jokes. I would put all my hope into the FRR, but they are to small and weak and also suck on the dragons chest like a baby. "
" You are going to far, the FRR has done great deeds in the ISDF and have brought a large part of the inner sphere and periphery free communication. "
"How nice of them, yet they haven't contributed enough... according to the draconian rules for the ISDF... or shall I say, Star-League-Light? They don't have a seat in the security council and all troop movements are going without there word. Furthermore... the chief general of the ISDF is a former C* worker... OH WHY... why hasn't he moved against Terra I say? He is just another toaster!"
" Mr.Focht was spoken free of all alligiances..."
"By whom..."
"... the... the Coordinator..."
"SURPRISE!"
" Oh I beg you... the Coordinator was himself imprisoned on Terra"
" And he was also the only one who made it away alive. Together with Marik, who still proudly announces his alliance with C*."
The moderator spoke up: " Ladies and Gentleman, todays thematic are the coming clans, not the great houses. "
"He is right... so back to them. What are they named STAR BOMBARDIE... oh, my bad... Star Adders... "We don't want civilian casualities... come out here..." and suddenly EXPLOSIONS in the midst of a trade world. "
" Something else must have happened that drove them to this extreme. "
" What happened is that the batshit-crazy descendants of the Star League got fucked in the head. They don't have a common sense and... and have you even read this shit about Zellbringen? Of course they don't know about human rights or at least some honor of war. CIVILLIANS ARE RESOURCES ACCORDING TO THEM. "
"You can't be serious."
" Read it, its all leaked over the NET. Humans are ressources... Hello mister tea-bag, I am as important as you. Good to be at the same value of a grenade shell. Or am I worth less as I don't fight? Hypocrits they are, nothing more... man I felt like to walk into a draconian work camp after reading it. At least THERE I AM A HUMAN BEING."
The discussion went on... and finally escalated ending with one speaker hitting the other. The audience applaused and the showmaster ended a once more succesfull episode of "Sphere-Talk- Where nothing is taboo." Apparently the broadcast will not reach everly realm because having no taboos was strictly against the Voice of the Dragons Propaganda plans.
After the end of the show, he drank some Coke and another window popped up:
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE?
And oh god, yes he wanted...
-Codes of Honor-
Multiple codes of honor are in use in the Inner-Sphere. Most famous, the Ares Conventions, which were introduced during the Star League era, and reintroduced during the Succession wars allowed for a largely ritualized battle that would secure civilian life, by forbidding weapons of mass destruction, chemical weapons, bio-weapons and restricted the use of warships bombardment.
Zellbringen, the Clans counterpart on the Ares conventions shows large similarities, but it must be stated that every clan interprets this rules on his own behalf and might even act against them, according to records and leaks of military documents.
Furthermore the houses have developed own honor codes, according to their culture. For instance, House Kurita, which introduced the Code of bushido together with the Dictum Honorium to the House and the DCMS, which are by far the most strictest codes in the Inner-Sphere, going literally down to declare how to take a dump correctly, while on a foreigners toilet:
" While using Lyran- or Federated style toilets, a warrior must not sit, having both feet on the ground, as a true warrior is always ready to strike. He may remove the trousers on one leg, or whatever legwear he is having with him, from one of his legs. Sitting straight up. This will not only greatly influence the flow of KI, but he may also quickly stand up to face a opponent without fearing to fall over because of entangled feet. It is not dishonoring to fight a enemy without trousers, but to die unprepared and surprised."
He laughed, but while it was mere fun to him, he hadn't forgot about the horror that were the EVIL CLANS to the Inner-Sphere. And while laughing at the belittled Draconians, the propaganda sunk in. The clan Star Adder had made a bad move... and someone in the Inner-Sphere had just waited for this to happen.
And another one popped up
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE?
and he clicked another time... being redirected to INN New Avalon
" A new subculture is growing in the NET. CLAN-MEMES... here are our top 5...

" I doubt that, the houses will continue their shadowy war, and we will be the once that will bleed for it. No good came ever from nobility and all but one repuplic in this inner-sphere are mere jokes. I would put all my hope into the FRR, but they are to small and weak and also suck on the dragons chest like a baby. "
" You are going to far, the FRR has done great deeds in the ISDF and have brought a large part of the inner sphere and periphery free communication. "
"How nice of them, yet they haven't contributed enough... according to the draconian rules for the ISDF... or shall I say, Star-League-Light? They don't have a seat in the security council and all troop movements are going without there word. Furthermore... the chief general of the ISDF is a former C* worker... OH WHY... why hasn't he moved against Terra I say? He is just another toaster!"
" Mr.Focht was spoken free of all alligiances..."
"By whom..."
"... the... the Coordinator..."
"SURPRISE!"
" Oh I beg you... the Coordinator was himself imprisoned on Terra"
" And he was also the only one who made it away alive. Together with Marik, who still proudly announces his alliance with C*."
The moderator spoke up: " Ladies and Gentleman, todays thematic are the coming clans, not the great houses. "
"He is right... so back to them. What are they named STAR BOMBARDIE... oh, my bad... Star Adders... "We don't want civilian casualities... come out here..." and suddenly EXPLOSIONS in the midst of a trade world. "
" Something else must have happened that drove them to this extreme. "
" What happened is that the batshit-crazy descendants of the Star League got fucked in the head. They don't have a common sense and... and have you even read this shit about Zellbringen? Of course they don't know about human rights or at least some honor of war. CIVILLIANS ARE RESOURCES ACCORDING TO THEM. "
"You can't be serious."
" Read it, its all leaked over the NET. Humans are ressources... Hello mister tea-bag, I am as important as you. Good to be at the same value of a grenade shell. Or am I worth less as I don't fight? Hypocrits they are, nothing more... man I felt like to walk into a draconian work camp after reading it. At least THERE I AM A HUMAN BEING."
The discussion went on... and finally escalated ending with one speaker hitting the other. The audience applaused and the showmaster ended a once more succesfull episode of "Sphere-Talk- Where nothing is taboo." Apparently the broadcast will not reach everly realm because having no taboos was strictly against the Voice of the Dragons Propaganda plans.
After the end of the show, he drank some Coke and another window popped up:
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE?
And oh god, yes he wanted...
-Codes of Honor-
Multiple codes of honor are in use in the Inner-Sphere. Most famous, the Ares Conventions, which were introduced during the Star League era, and reintroduced during the Succession wars allowed for a largely ritualized battle that would secure civilian life, by forbidding weapons of mass destruction, chemical weapons, bio-weapons and restricted the use of warships bombardment.
Zellbringen, the Clans counterpart on the Ares conventions shows large similarities, but it must be stated that every clan interprets this rules on his own behalf and might even act against them, according to records and leaks of military documents.
Furthermore the houses have developed own honor codes, according to their culture. For instance, House Kurita, which introduced the Code of bushido together with the Dictum Honorium to the House and the DCMS, which are by far the most strictest codes in the Inner-Sphere, going literally down to declare how to take a dump correctly, while on a foreigners toilet:
" While using Lyran- or Federated style toilets, a warrior must not sit, having both feet on the ground, as a true warrior is always ready to strike. He may remove the trousers on one leg, or whatever legwear he is having with him, from one of his legs. Sitting straight up. This will not only greatly influence the flow of KI, but he may also quickly stand up to face a opponent without fearing to fall over because of entangled feet. It is not dishonoring to fight a enemy without trousers, but to die unprepared and surprised."
He laughed, but while it was mere fun to him, he hadn't forgot about the horror that were the EVIL CLANS to the Inner-Sphere. And while laughing at the belittled Draconians, the propaganda sunk in. The clan Star Adder had made a bad move... and someone in the Inner-Sphere had just waited for this to happen.
And another one popped up
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE?
and he clicked another time... being redirected to INN New Avalon
" A new subculture is growing in the NET. CLAN-MEMES... here are our top 5...

Moral... moral means everything in a war, moral can decide battles and iron will, united will was always one of the Dragons strongest attributes. But with the recent propaganda, achievements, conflicts, reeducation, structurisation. Fanatism was on the rise. "One will" wasn't just a phrase in the Combine. The people believed it, lived it, more than ever. it was burned into their brains like a mark of destinction. Thw workers class was proud to work 18 hours a day, the warriors were proud to give their lifes... They wanted to hear the Dragons call and the inner fire burned more and more fierce.
In a questioning the ISF found that 83.132 % of population were fanatically loyal to the Coordinator and 16.868% were reliable. Nobody, not even the caste of unproductive or the troops, that were recruited from their ranks, would even think of betraying the Realm of the Dragon or question its rulers.
Indrahar Subhash was surprised and worried. This was just another stab into the black dragon society and therefore he couldn't appreciate this statistic as he should do. At least, he wouldn't have to make another plan to ensure the safety and nature of the realm, but under this circumstances he asked himself how long he would be able to uphold the society itself, as even their ranks begin to fall from the organisations cause, also possible leaks were to occur. He had to take meassures... but apparently, the troops that could leak, the Alshain Regulars, or better, the former troops loyal to the society, were moved away to the Rimworlders War.
Was these yet another trap by the Coordinator?
Was he tested?
The head of the draconians Internal Security Force, began to feel watched, endangered and outsmarted... feelings he didn't had since a long time.

-location censored-
Sho-sho Yuuki Hadono looked outside one of the small windows to see how work was going. Only two more months and the DCS Zangetsu will be ready to produce the needed war-material with superior draconian technology for the southern front against the clans. One by one, more and more Okami warriors were arriving here. On -location censored for puplic safety- surface, the Taurian and Magistracy Infantry-men, were training with their new equipment. Brand new draconian Power Armor,... while embracing the hate they felt for the clan-invaders. For the onna-bugeishas of the Combine, it was however a time of patience, because they could not fight before the next 5 months were over. This left however time for more training, learning the needed skills. After all, the Okami were among the first large formations in the Combine military, that would be cross-trained, as pilots, as infantrymen and of course as mechwarriors. Finding the aspects of bushido in all weapon s and the Dieron Regulars, the Sword of Light, the Genyosha, the Otomo and some other Elite Formations were finding themselves in similar programs. Another reform Theodore Kurita was enforcing while the realm marched on with larger and larger steps.
