Samurai Gunship

Samurai Gunship

December 2243, Western Ezo highlands, Amaterasu, 82 Eridani system

With the imminent arrival of a second Confederation Joint Expeditionary Force, the remaining Easterner Samurai gunships scattered from the three industrial enclaves, positioning themselves in the vast badland regions of northern Amaterasu.

“Well, Captain, I could provide you with a list.”
