The Battle of Toogasaki
This battle marked the first armed conflict in the Second War for Succession, taking it from a war of Words and Ideas, and making it a war of Blood as well.

This was the first armed conflict where Genetically Enhanced Super Soldiers, and Newtypes saw use.

Kiseki no Shuto Declared Imperial Capital
To support her steadfast belief in expanding the empire further out into the stars, Toturi Sara declares that Kiseki no Shuto, the recently finished and only imperial outpost not on Ningen no Amaterasu, will be the new Imperial Capital once the construction it needs to accommodate imperial court has been finished.

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.
