The Pact of Kiyoshi

In the aftermath of the battle of Toogasaki, the Emerald Empire fractures into two groups.

Kiyoshi’s Army, based on Ningendo no Amaterasu, led by Toturi Tadashi, who in a power grab boldly declared himself Kiyoshi I, and who led those that wished to abandon the stars and stay on Ningendo no Amaterasu.

Imperial Loyalists, based on Kiseki no Shuto, led by Toturi XXXXVIII(Formerly Toturi Sara), who sought to crush Kiyoshi’s dreams of separatism, and progress further into the stars.

They sought to bring the insurgents to heel, and re-unify the Emerald Empire.

The Major powers aligned themselves as follows:
 * The Newtype Cult: Kiyoshi’s Army
 * The Lion: Kiyoshi’s Army
 * The Phoenix: Kiyoshi’s Army
 * The Unicorn: Kiyoshi’s Army
 * The Mantis: Kiyoshi’s Army
 * Imperial Families (i.e. Seppun, Miya e.t.c.): Loyalists
 * The Crab: Loyalists
 * The Crane: Loyalists
 * The Scorpion: Kiyoshi’s Army(Secretly Loyalist biding their time)
 * The Dragon: Neutral(Secretly Loyalists biding their time)
 * Minor Clans such as the Tortoise, Falcon, Monkey amongst others were also Loyalist. (edited)
