Ship Wrecks in Shikoku

There are only two ship wrecks in Shikoku.

Kobe Maru
[X=B.8/Y=5.0] 

The wreck of the Kobe Maru. The Hogosha used this ship as an Artifact smuggler. It disappeared some time ago. 

Contains:

Shibuya Maru
[X=C.8/Y=6.0] 

The remains of the Shibuya Maru. The Golden C. ship was making a Cardamine run to Galileo when it was intercepted by a Bounty Hunter.

System Exits

Shikoku is very well attached to other systems. Most of the exits are unmapped jump holes. Please check the map above to find where they are.

Shikoku to Kyushu Jump Hole

This jump is very useful for the oil trade. If known pirates are in New Tokyo and the Kupo are not dealing with them it is sometimes useful to pass through this jump and skip New Tokyo entirely. Not advised as your standard transport route as it takes you off the main trade lines while not really saving you much time at all.

Shikoku to Galileo Jump Gate

Galileo is a dangerous junction of a system, which is used almost exclusively to travel to other systems such as Aleuta or Guanxai Province.

Shikoku to Keplar Jump Gate

Keplar is a cloaud filled system which was once in the distant past a system owned by the Lex Talionis (on the Nima server). It is useful as a staging area for plans and the Ames Research station offers a good refuge when improving rep killing xenos. Xenos are abundant in the left clouds. You will find a Xeno base there.

Shikoku to New Toyko JumpGate

New Tokyo is a metropolis of a system. Densely populated. It is a haven for trade. Protected heavily by the Kupo it is a very safe system for the Lex Talionis to travel.

Bases in Shikoku

Shikoku is rich with bases and has good populations scattered around the system. This is why the Lex Talionis moved here. With dense population demographics the Lex Talionis influence will be stronger and also the clan will be able to protect more lawful life.

Battleship Myoko
[X=E.7/Y=5.6] Owner: Naval Forces 

CLASS: Sekigahara 
CREW: CLASSIFIED 
ARMAMENT: CLASSIFIED 

One of the first ships constructed for the Kusari Navy by Samura, the Battleship Myoko is the most venerable of those military ships still in service. It is currently deployed in the Shikoku system to help stem the growing tide of piracy from the Independent Worlds. The Myoko is scheduled for decommissioning in 806 AS,
but it still remains a powerful warning to any outsiders who may wish to cause trouble. 

Kusari Naval Forces

ALLIES:  
Kishiro, Samura, Kusari Police
  
ENEMIES:  
Blood Dragons, Corsairs, Outcasts, Golden C., Lane Hackers, Liberty Rogues, Xenos

The Kusari Naval Forces is highly organized and possesses all of the considerable
technological advantages inferred by Kusari industry.

Deshima Station
[X=E.4/Y=5.6] Owner: Bounty Hunters 

CLASS: Akebono 
GRAVITY: Complete 
DOCKING: Yes 
AMENITIES: Yes 
POPULATION: 7K 

The Shikoku system was originally a gateway for almost all of the traffic originating from Liberty and the independent worlds. Entry requirements for the New Tokyo system were initially very strict, and as a result, Shikoku became home to a large band of itinerant foreigners. Deshima Station was constructed in 350 AS to house this population, and despite the significant relaxation of New Tokyo system entry requirements, it still serves as a way station. Over the years Deshima has been substantially improved through the addition of a Synth Foods biodome, the construction of additional living space, and a partnership with Kishiro to manufacture Consumer Goods. The Bounty Hunters Guild also recently opened an office here as the large numbers of foreigners in the system includes a significant criminal element. 

Bounty Hunters Guild 

ALLIES:  
House Police 
  
ENEMIES: 
Criminals 

The Bounty Hunters Guild originally began in Texas but has spread to almost every system in Sirius, providing a broad array of security-oriented services for a reasonable fee. 

Fucha Prison
[X=F.5/Y=5.6] Owner: Police 

CLASS: Mifune 
GRAVITY: Complete 
DOCKING: Yes 
AMENITIES: No 
POPULATION: 6K 

Originally located in the New Tokyo system, Fuchu Prison was moved to the Shikoku system in 600 AS to handle the burgeoning foreign criminal element that was plaguing the area. While nearly 70% of the prisoners are from outside of Kusari space, the remaining 30% are almost exclusively members of a radical, political terrorist group called the Blood Dragons. "Rehabilitation through work"
is a core principal of the Fuchu Prison mandate, and inmates are routinely deployed
to mine Hydrocarbon and work the Junyo fishing platforms.

Kusari State Police 

ALLIES:  
Kusari Naval Forces, Samura 
  
ENEMIES: 
Blood Dragons, Golden C., Outcasts, Corsairs, Liberty Rogues, Lane Hackers

The Kusari State Police is a disciplined force of career personnel assigned to guard the borders of Kusari space and protect Kusari commercial interests.

Ohashi Border Station
[X=D.7/Y=1.8] Owner: Police 

CLASS: Mifune 
GRAVITY: Complete 
DOCKING: Yes 
AMENITIES: Yes 
POPULATION: 175 

Ohashi Station was originally constructed to process all requests for entry into the New Tokyo system by foreigners. As entry requirements were relaxed, however, Ohashi transitioned into a base of operations for the Kusari State Police, who patrols the area in an effort to suppress the activities of the Blood Dragons.

Planet Junyo - Docking Ring
Shikoku [X=E.7/Y=4.0] Owner: Samura 

WARNING: Do not attempt planetary landing without using a Docking Ring. 

A Docking Ring is part of an orbital elevator system invented by Ageira Technologies. Through the use of super strong crystalline polymers and frictionless bearings, Docking Rings assist the smooth atmospheric entry and exit of interstellar
vessels with landing capability. 

DIAMETER: 5,280 km. 
MASS: 3.89 x 10e24 kg. 
TERRAIN: Water 
TEMPERATURE: 4°C to 46°C 
ESCAPE VELOCITY: 8.83 km/sec 

Junyo is almost entirely covered by a deep ocean that remains liquid across the planet's entire surface due to the young, hot Shikoku sun. While initially dismissed as infeasible for further development, the impending collapse of fisheries throughout Kusari in 630 AS motivated the government to begin terraforming the planet
using recently discovered Alien Organisms in order to jump-start the nascent ecology. Within 50 years, the planetary environment had been sufficiently altered to begin wide-scale production of Luxury Foods under the administration of Samura, a company that refuses to concede the market to the competing Liberty firm of
Synth Foods. 

Samura Industries

ALLIES:  
Kusari Police, Kusari Naval Forces 

ENEMIES: 
Blood Dragons, Golden C., Xenos, Criminals

Samura Industries is one of the great Kusari keiretsu -- sprawling, vertically integrated companies that control whole industries.

Planet Seto

This is a beautiful, large but somewhat useless planet. It has no population, no decent resources, and more importantly nowhere to land. This planet is simply scenery, but very nice scenery.
