Together, Taisho Yui and Empress Himiko have issued the following decrees and orders for the Star Army of Yamatai:
1. All ships in active duty in Expeditionary Fleets and task groups must have a name and IRN by YE 31. Fleets that fail to assign names to their ships will have the unnamed ships removed and sent to the depot.
2. All fleets should have named flagships.
3. A loyalty bonus of 1,000 KS and a free
Type 29 Nekovalkyrja Service Pistol are hereby granted to all members of the Star Army who reply to this message. This is to reward for your loyalty to the Star Army. We are aware of the UOC's generous benefit package and are working on ways to improve the Star Army's counterpart.
4. Any member of the Star Army who convinces a UOC soldier to return to the Star Army of Yamatai will receive a personal shuttle or small starship, depending on the rank of the returning soldier, plus a cash bonus of 1,000 KS and a possible promotion.
5. Due to the oncoming abolishment of the Living Property System, new enlistment contracts and such are being developed. Please send any suggestions for these or benefit plans to Taisho Yui. Useful suggestions will be rewarded.
6. All soldiers under the rank of Shosa are hereby promoted by one rank upon a response to this post, unless their captain or unit commander has reasonable objections.
7. Captains are encouraged to create rules for their ships based on common sense, experience, safety concerns, and mission effectiveness. Such rules should then be sent to Taisho Yui for review, so that they can be incorporated in a book of standard procedures to help guide new captains. Please send any suggestions to Yui for standard procedures. Again, useful suggestions will be rewarded.
8. The Star Army is currently seeking ship captains and officers. Please contact Yui if interested.
9. The Starship Improvement Program is looking for ways to improve current ships and to build newer ships better. Post your suggestions.
So far, some good suggestions we've got include:
- Moving control conters (the bridge) and engineering to more protected parts of ships.
- Development of automated medical centers
10. Any soldier who writes a useful guide to their occupation will be rewarded with a ceremony of recognition for him/her and his/her ship and 25,000 KS.
OOC: Also, possibly new character art if I can afford it.
OOC: Interact outside of your plots and help improve the Star Army as a whole.
