 +===== History ===== 
 +  * [[timeline:ye_30]]: The [[faction:united_outer_colonies]] splits from the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]], resulting in Asura's colonization. 
 +  * [[timeline:ye_31]]: The [[timeline:events:second_mishhuvurthyar_war]] begins. The YSE and UOC are attacked by the [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:nmx]]. 
 +  * [[timeline:ye_32]]: Asura loses communications to the rest of the UOC as it is overrun by Mishhuvurthyar forces. 
 +  * [[timeline:ye_33]]: The UOC is evacuated and its territories are re-absorbed into the YSE. Asura, however, is left intact by the NMX and left alone by the YSE. 
 +  * [[timeline:ye_34]]: The Second Mishhuvurthyar War ends. [[stararmy:fleets:tenth_fleet]] is administratively disbanded and reformed in the [[places:yugumo_cluster]] and occupies Asura but does not go to the planet's surface. 
 +  * [[timeline:ye_36]]:  [[faction:iromakuanhe:vsv_boutros]] illegally enters YSE space((http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/act-v-scene-iii-the-last-day-of-a-peaceful-galaxy.15383/page-5#post-228178)) and crashes on Asura III. The incident created a renewed Yamataian interest in Asura and contributed to the [[international:defense-arrangement-treaty-of-the-alliance-of-signatory-states]] signed shortly afterward. 
 +  * [[timeline:ye_37]]: Yamatai announces plans to build a Star Army base on Asura III.((http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/planetary-fort-planned-for-asura.17791/#post-264955)). Construction of [[stararmy:bases:fort_asura]] begins in the final month of YE 37. ((http://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/index.php?threads/asura-iii-breaking-ground.17830/)). Asura III is also added to the  [[faction:yamatai:paint]] network, with round trip civilian flights to [[stararmy:bases:jiyuu_fleet_depot]]. 
 +  * [[timeline:ye_38]]: Fort Asura completed. Trinary Star Shipping expands to Asura III
  
 ===== Government ===== ===== Government =====
-The framework for the Asura Prime government was only loosely dictated by the United Outer Colonies, now defunct, as a democracy with the highest of ideals - the liberty of the common woman, and the freedom of the soldiers of the Fifth Fleet who defected from the Yamatai Star Empire.  A people's house of commons, with seventeen representatives from the four major planetary districts, was set up around a Prime Minister presiding over the House.  They have a standing constitution which grants considerable power to the district and local governments to maintain contracts, property rights, and provide for an interdistrict justice and penal system.+The framework for the Asura Prime government was only loosely dictated by the [[faction:united_outer_colonies]] , now defunct, as a democracy with the highest of ideals - the liberty of the common person, and the freedom of the soldiers of the [[stararmy:fleets:fifth_expeditionary_fleet]] who defected from the [[faction:Yamatai Star Empire]] in [[timeline:ye_30]].

 In current practice it is a corporatocracy that does little to maintain any of these rights except for the ones that can pay for them. In current practice it is a corporatocracy that does little to maintain any of these rights except for the ones that can pay for them.
  
-When the United Outer Colonies fell to the NMX, the government remained - but finding itself without support from the colonial fleet, which had either surrendered to Yamatai or joined the Lorath Matriarchy, it turned to the corporations entrenched on its surface for funding and borrowed large amounts of money to provide for a standing militia and to maintain the economy and welfare of its populace.  When the Lorath began to patrol the astral territory of the Asura system, the colonial government found a temporary reprieve for two full years, until YE 34, when [[stararmy:task_force_lantern]] officially took over patrol of its astral territories.  Expressing no real interest in changing the way things operated on the surface, [[character:morioka_naoko]], soon to become the Admiral of [[stararmy:tenth_fleet]], simply shrugged and left them to their own devices.+When the United Outer Colonies fell to the [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:nmx]], the government remained - but finding itself without support from the colonial fleet, which had either surrendered to Yamatai or joined the [[faction:lorath|Lorath Matriarchy]], it turned to the corporations entrenched on its surface for funding and borrowed large amounts of money to provide for a standing militia and to maintain the economy and welfare of its populace.

 +Asura III is still very much a planet of many interests, with its people as varied as the causes they champion.
  
 +As part of the [[corp:yugumo_corporation:start]]'s sustainability initiatives, the [[corp:yugumo_corporation:juugoya_cooperative]] has recently begun construction of farming villages & aquaculture centers on land/water purchased from the various corporate entities and/or the loose central government.
 +===== Yamataian Special Control Zone =====
 +Created during the end of [[timeline:ye_37]] and given to the required Yamataian government representatives appointed by the Tenth Fleet's leadership, it represents the only land area directly controlled by Yamataian rule and law and order. Yamatai began construction of [[stararmy:bases:fort_asura|Fort Asura]] in [[timeline:ye_37]]. It was completed in [[timeline:ye_38]].  
  
 +Its current commander is Shosho [[characters:yamatai:fujiwara_miu]]. 
  
 +=== Mochizuki Beach ===
 +Located in the tropical zone of the planet, this picturesque coastal city untouched by war serves as the center of Asura's tourism industry. It is the first sight that any new arrival to the small [[faction:yamatai:paint]] network terminal on connecting flights from [[system:jiyuu]] hub will see.
  
 +It is blessed with miles of beautiful, sandy-white beaches and azure waters, along which is built one of the most famous landmarks of the area, the Mitsuya Grand Hotel & Resort. This luxurious 5-star destination features amazing sunset views in its various deluxe honeymoon suites that cover several stories, as well as fine dining and relaxing by the warm fire in the aptly named 'Embers' lounge, decorated with some of the life accomplishments of its namesake. Its a particularly popular destination for wedding couples as it features a striking circle of giant, perfectly smooth stones situated in the middle of a beautiful natural preserve & garden called the P'enn Pavilion. The pavilion is notable for being one of the only places outside former Matriarchy space to hold traditional Lorath wedding ceremonies, and is so named for the [[wip_2023_or_older:faction:lorath:economics|ancient tradition]] of gem & semi-precious stone offerings to adequately display the depths of one's affection for another.
  
 +There is a sizeable [[faction:lorath:groups:lmanel]] population present in Mochizuki Beach, as many of them are gainfully employed by the hotel and related businesses to keep its natural beauty intact and also create mementos for tourists to purchase.
  
 +Recently, [[corp:yugumo_corporation:phi]] has constructed a small satellite office complex in the downtown area, as cooperation with the central government on military projects has increased substantially. It is also convenient for CEO [[characters:yamatai:mochizuki_shiori]], who is a longtime beach-goer herself, and may often be found mixing business with pleasure in her summer home near some choice seaside real estate.
  
 +===== Commerce =====
 +Civilian cargo shipping is primarily provided by [[corp:murasaki_keiretsu:trinary_star_shipping]], which has storefronts in all of the planet's major cities.
  
-===== Factions ===== 
-==== Konga Union of Allied States ==== 
-The Konga Union of Allied States or KUAS represents the third major surface power of Asura to be established in recent years, composed of UOC citizens and peacekeepers who have become disillusioned with their dream of independence they seek a return of full Yamataian rule to the planet and the star system as a whole. Whether it be simply supporting the return of Yamataian forces wholesale or expanding their influence via commercial or military means their goal remains to oust Non-Yamataian influences from the surface of the planet and bring those nations who still wish for the old dream of the UOC to heel. Like the other two powers they to have begun building a military to support and expand their goals on the planet. Whether or not they are supported directly or covertly by Yamatai has yet to be seen.  
-==== Non-Governmental Corporate Zones ==== 
-==== Tama Confederation of Trade States ==== 
-Between the three major nation-states the Tama Confederation could be considered the most moderate, their population an even mix of those who simply want to maintain the present status quo as well as the awkward balancing act the Tenth Fleet's previous admiral established. While still having little love for Yamatai and her imperial ways and laws they also understand rocking the boat would be of little interest for their well being. Having wrested control of their territory from predatory corporations exploiting the final fall of Asura's central government the TCTS stands with an interesting relationship with their former masters, continuing to operate their infrastructure and resources all while keeping the grand majority profit and material goods for themselves and allowing just enough off planet to keep corporate interests from intervening in a military fashion. However they have made significant investments in their security abilities and seem to be moving toward the establishment of a standing army in order to maintain what they've managed to tear away from the corporate oligarchs that still control most of Asura's surface.  
-==== Yamataian Special Control Zone ==== 
-The [[:Yamatai Star Empire]] created a "Special Control Zone" in [[calendar:YE 37]] which is the central government's area of influence. This zone is patrolled by the [[:Star Army of Yamatai]] and is home of the Star Army's local base, [[location:Fort Asura]]. 
  
-==== Yodo Provisional Federal Republic ==== 
-Also known as the 'YPFR' the Yodo Provisional Federal Republic is a hardline independence oriented nation state with a population whos political aims mostly lay with full national and political independence from both Yamatai and any outside influences with the long term goals of reestablishing the Asura system as an independent nation state at any cost. Out of the various states and cities to emerge as regional powers on Asura's surface one could argue they are the most militaristic with a particularly high concentration of former UOC peacekeepers and disillusioned star army soldiers. As a result the YPFR has been putting considerable effort into putting the infrastructure and equipment in place to establish a military force of its own beyond simple border keeping and security. Their greatest fear being the end of the planet's present situation of tolerance and the establishment of a full force Yamataian rule.
