The news cameras gather around the figure of Senator Iemochi, speaking from Fort Hikari on his electoral seat of Virginia. He is clad in his formal Star Army attire.

Yamatai, Ternifac In a small ceremony in the central business district of Ternifac, the Toyotomi Training Institute (TTI) announced it was officially open for business. A transition training facility, the main focus of the TTI is the integration of former slaves found outside of the Yamatai Star Empire and teach them to fully integrate in a freer society of choice.
