The Shizukesa Clan is a powerful group of Hylotl merchants and business people that uses diplomatic means to achieve their goals. They were cut off from the homeworld during the invasion. With trade routes and communications with the main branch cut off during the war, they were forced to deal with local corporations who took advantage of the situation to sell staple goods at inflated prices. The clan did not have the land or manpower necessary to produce all that they needed, so they were forced to accept. Communications were eventually established with the main branch of the Hylotl Government, but by then the Clan was in deep debt, forced to release their holdings and resettle elsewhere.


The decision to settle on the frontier was one contested by many members of the Clan, especially those in positions of power, but with overwhelming crowd support and several key members backing the change, The Shizukesa moved to the frontier and formed The Shizukesa Shogunate.


The primary purpose of the Shizukesa Shogunate is to increase the influence of the Clan and Hylotl as a whole, especially in uncivilized space. To achieve this,the Shizukesa plan to use diplomacy and trade rather than military might. One of their main strategies being to either produce goods and sell them to the frontier’s inhabitants, as well as using their preexisting connections with large conglomerates to purchase goods in bulk at a sizeable discount and sell them to the frontier. The Shogunate’s main export would be foodstuffs. Livestock and grown foods as well as lard and butter.


The Shogunate possesses a small military of just under 50 used almost exclusively as a defensive reactionary force and to keep the peace on their territory, as well as to escort dignitaries.


Currently, The Shizukesa Shogunate (sometimes called The Shi) are attempting to establish positive relations with wealthy and influential members of the frontier community.

From me
The Shizukesa Clan's general goal is to grow their own influence. I imagine many Florans would oppose the clan, maybe not violently, but the goal of this faction is different from many others in that, they don't have any plans of galactic domination. They want everyone to know that they could not live the live they are living without the Hylotl. It would create conflict due to their elitist nature and sense of superiority and the group would provide individual players, other factions, and colonies with a means to get supplies without pulling them out of thin air.

From Tazerok
Delivering goods, inspecting building sites, talking to colony heads, negotiations, basically generating more RP that isn't just basic slice of life and bar RP

-----------
I hope that works.

 

The NPC population exists to provide the Shizukesa with a means of production. Because their economy is largely made up of farming, many workers are needed to produce those foodstuffs. In addition, the Shizukesa exists to represent Hylotl purists, something that would be more difficult with a small group of 15 or fewer. None of the NPCs would be used by PCs, and a very small minority would be even somewhat proficient in combat.

The 500,000 pixels would be used for purchasing in initial shipments of goods (and example being a request put to us from soon-to-be colont owner Shag) as well as building infastructure. That amount wouldn't be improbable for the Shizukesa to have when considering their history.

 

Don't worry about it. I know you guys are buay with 1.0. Everyone's just really excited to start RPing. In game, or otherwise.

 

Oh, and one more thing. How/when could we get one of these?
