Ensure the system's physical security by identifying, intercepting and eliminating every threat to the Imperium and the Free State and look good doing it. Pirates, smugglers, and Nekos beware!

Orochi Squadron

Basing off of the venerable warhorse Irim-class Heavy Gunship, this plot's feel aims to capture the classic SARP action of yesterday, when PA combat was the focus of any space engagement. It serves as a great introduction to some of the most dramatic space combat elements that the Star Army of Yamatai faction has to offer, and a good jumping off point to more seasoned canon plotships. Newbies to SARP are also highly encouraged to apply, since the Open RP format makes it easy to create a fresh Nekovalkyrja infantry character and jump right into fighting the renewed NMX raider threat!

Song of Whitemeadow

It is a spiritual successor to Scythe.

A charter was granted to one of the Mikado's nephews; Lord Anise Whitemeadow was given land holdings on the new planet to found an outpost and begin to colonize the new holding with a mind for turning it into a rich resource for the expanding state. Colonists of all sorts piled upon the ASV Deluge, a converted civilian cruise liner, to stake their claims and make their way upon truly unclaimed land.

But Whitemeadow, who is still quite close to his minority, is a fledgling at best, and like the colony he and his foundling Knights and Retainers must grow to brave the unknown hills and valleys of their new home with wisdom and courage, proving themselves, in the Asterian way, “Noble by prowess, brave and true,” as the fate of a world and the success of the colony rests in the attempt.
