Project Kyasshu - YSS Bourou

The Bourou or (Watchtower) was created as part of the Scientific Studies Service (SSS) Project Kyasshu it came online in YE 31.

At the start of YE 35 the project was closed with the NMX threat neutralized. Stations were redeployed.

About the Bourou

The Bourou is a modified Kisaki - Command Module. The mission of the Bourou is to stand watch and alert the Scientific Studies Service (SSS) about approaching NMX forces. All personnel assigned to the Bourou and the Watchforce are volunteers.

History

Originally this module was to be part of the fourth Kisaki-class Starbase constructed at Yamatai (Planet). However, due to the outbreak of the Second Mishhuvurthyar War, Saiki Kouan ordered the construction of that station halted. During the planning stages of the Kyasshu Saiki Kouan contacted the Ketsurui Fleet Yards regarding using the components of that station to support the project.

Mission

The Bourou serves as the home base for the Watchforce. It is where their shuttles are maintained and the shuttle crews cared for.

Watchforce

The Watchforce consists of twenty Ke-T8-1b Kuma Shuttles deployed around the Kyasshu. Their mission is to watch for signs of hostile vessels, entering the region so the Kyasshu can be moved. The shuttle crews normally are on station for forty-eight hours then rotate out. All members of the Watchforce receive a 10% bonus to their salary for hazardous conditions.

Deployment

Shuttles are deployed in a Dodecahedron with each shuttle at a distance of nineteen light-years from three other shuttles. This configuration allows the Watchforce to monitor a perimeter with a surface area of 7,453 square light-years, containing a region of space some 52,561 cubic light-years.
