    RP: YSS Kaiyō [YSS Kaiyō] Ni

    YSS Kaiyō Bridge 17日 1月 YE 39 1300 Hours The Kaiyō had been quiet for the last fortnight since the mission. They were powering through space, towards the Kuvexians, the enemies to the Yamatai Star Empire. During that time, they had gotten to know one another, especially by way of nightly trust...

    RP: YSS Kaiyō [YSS Kaiyō] Post-Mission One: Yame!

    YSS Kaiyō Wardroom 3日 1月 YE 39 0830 Hours Taii Eden stood as she had during the mission briefing days ago. Her pleated skirt was draped over her lower body, splaying out in all directions much like her hair, which hung down to her waist. A chunk of it was over one shoulder, hanging down and...

    RP: YSS Kaiyō [YSS Kaiyō] Pre-Mission One: Jozu Desu Ne!

    YSS Kaiyō Captain's Suite 1日 1月 YE 39 0900 Hours "Now," Taii Teien Eden began as she relaxed in the plush recliner chair in her suite. She was talking with a highly competent member of the crew, one she hadn't seen much of in the time since first meeting her. "You have presumably been doing...

    OOC YSS Kaiyō II Discussion

    It's about time another Yamataian plot ship opened up. There are too many players looking to play Yamatai and not enough open plots from what I've seen in the last few months. I'm looking to change that. This one would focus around a plumeria named the YSS Kaiyō! If @Wes would like to okay...

    What. Is the speed of an unladen Samurai?

    Ketsurui or another clan? Definitely Ketsurui. It's not often at all we get them in RP, and with how much time has passed, as well as with the new bodies that have come out, I don't know what depiction of them is accurate at this point. Are they anime DBZ fighters from the early days, or were...

    Symbols of Yamatai?

    So, over the last little while I have been working on a pet project. I figured this would be a perfect time to ask this question though. The Yamatai Star Army! Possibly the Largest and most Prodominant Military in this entire setting. What are things that a soldier would have? What are the most...

    [POLL] Slowing Down the Passing of Years

    Hey Star Army, there's been a discussion on the Yamataian calendar, which only has 9 months in it. Now that we're looking at it in detail, we've got to decide how we want IC time to relate to OOC time. So I want your vote on this matter. The poll will be open for 7 days so everyone has a fair...

    Neko Martial Arts

    After a sudden inspiration, I have been working on the idea of a Neko-focused (although Minkans and other digital-brain types would qualify) martial art, specifically a sword style. Here are the basics I have so far, although I have some more ideas in my head...

    OOC Hanami Festival of YE 38 Discussion

    Alright, so I was wondering how much longer you guys want to do the hanami festival crossover thread. I was thinking that next weekend, I could have some rain come in and basically inspire people to move to the next phase - which is find RP partners for whatever social activity you're doing...

    Irim Heavy Gunship Refit to Light Carrier?

    After the success of Orochi squadron in making this old warhorse cool again, I was noodling on the prospect of perhaps making a newer refit of the Irim Heavy Gunship that emphasizes it's light carrier-like qualities rather than fleet killing weaponry, while obviously modernizing many of its...

    Star Army Phonetic Alphabet

    I was thinking about what words the Star Army would use for its phonetic alphabet. I decided that it might be best to use iconic Yamataian words and names. I included several empresses. Here's my suggestion: Aether Battery Celia Daisy Eucharis Frontier Galaxy Himiko Imperial Jiyuu Katsuko...

    Lorath Museum Idea

    So far there's a few museums in Yamatai (the Star Army Museum on Nataria, the Hanako Military Museum in Shinjuku, and there's also the YSS Sakura Museum in Kyoto) and I'm hoping to make more "tourist sites" in the YSE. And in the Hanako museum theres these two relics: 2 Priceless Lorath...

    Naming the UX and HX systems of Yamatai

    So I've been wanting to get actual names to the systems of Yamatai that currently just have a number like UX-3, etc. One idea I had was to name them after our most notable members (e.g. ones with high post counts). For example we could have a Nashoba system and an Aendri system. Some names might...
