天皇陛下万歳! ("Tennōheika Banzai!")

- Official Motto of the Ashikaga Shogunate.

---

We are the Great Japanese Empire (大日本帝國), currently under the rule of the Ashikaga Shogunate (足利幕府). We seek to become a powerful imperialist power situated within the Pacific. Ever since the Americans have taken over our rightful territory, our Imperial Shōgun, Ashikaga Muromachi, has called upon us, the Japanese people to retake our homeland from the foreign occupationalists.

Japan was once a great power, feared throughout much of the world during its height in the Second World War. Our Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere encompassed more than half of the Pacific, took the Japanese people en masse to new lands, and brought prosperity to our country. Recently, however, Japan lays in occupation, with its culture tainted by Western foreign influence and its people descending into degeneracy.

In a violent overthrow of the current Western system of Japan, we have successfully restored our Japanese homeland to its former traditional glory under the shōgunate. In the words of our shōgun, the foreigners will pay, not in gold, but in blood for the millions for which they have defiled.

No longer will the Japanese people endure the subjugation of those who disavow our emperor! Our enemies are our emperor's enemies! Yes, the enemy general is a hero equal to none in glory and victory! However, if we must retake our rightful homeland, then we must look up to our Imperial Shōgun as the great unifier of the Pacific!

The rising sun will dawn across the Pacific once again!

The Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) is the force in charge of defending the Great Japanese Empire's shores from being tainted by foreign Gaijins, as well as supporting the rule of the Ashikaga Shogunate. To that end, the Imperial Japanese Navy fields a large fleet, with formations capable of rivaling those of other nations whilst capable of defeating its foes on the high seas. The Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service, under direct service with the Navy, is also trusted with naval strikes, as well as amphibious-support capabilities.

Battleships/Battlecruisers

An old battleship, the Maru Y and her sisters are some of the most powerful warships ever built, with heavy wing turrets and AAA defence.

The most modern of the battlecruisers, Revelation has more than enough firepower and planes to deal with most threats.

A heavy battleship, the Relentless has a good speed of 194.5 knots and has a toughness of almost 6400. It can be armed with 14-16 46cm guns.

A fast battleship, the Scharnhorst has a good speed of 194.5 knots, and armament of 7-8 46cm guns and optional torpedo and MK 45 armaments. With its good speed, it can be deployed quickly for combat.

Cruisers

The largest of the cruisers, the Shōron is the half sister of the IKN Mercury. Though called by others a battlecruiser, she is officially called a "super cruiser".

The Chikuma small for type, but has a good airwing, large guns, and is surprisingly durable and mast produceable. She is used for scouting territory.

An old cruiser used for coastal defence, the Endevour and her sisters were the start on a new generation of cruisers. She is armed like a battleship, in the packet of a cruiser.

Kageryū is an ocean going cruiser, incorporating lessons learnt from Endevor. She is fast, well armed and armoured. Currently the flagship of the Agent Kage.

The Kagehō is a cruiser with a heavy gun armament all forward the superstructure. She was built to replace the Endevour in ocean missions.

Originally a Kageryū class cruiser, Karyu was converted to hold a small airwing. She is the flagship of the scouting force.

One of the few ships built outside the KISN shipyards, the Hoshidzukiyo is a formidable threat, with heavy gun armament, AAA defence and high speeds.

Like the Kagehō, the Yokomokyoto has all her guns facing forward. She also has torpedo bulges, increasing torpedo defence.

Carriers

A modern carrier, the Taihō and her sisters provide the back bone of the carrier fleet.

The largest carrier in the KISN, the Yamamoto focuses on armour and firepower. Currently the flagship of the carrier division.

The oldest fleet carrier in the navy and sister of the famous Akagi, the Amagi has seen many refits to improve its performance. She is the fastest carrier in the navy.

The Izumo is a modern cruiser-carrier with good firepower and airwing. She and her sister Ibuki work in conjunction with Chikuma.

The Mogami Maru is a Landing Craft Carrier, used for amphibious assaults, but also as a merchant ship or MAC.

Built off the hull of a merchant ship, the Activity class are fast, sea worthy, can carry lots of cargo and planes, but are weakly armed and armoured.

The Valkyrie class is a series of light aircraft carriers designed to be fast and be mass produced. It can be quickly deployed due to its speed of 194.7 knots and can carry a moderately sized airwing.

Submarines

The I-1 is the lead of a class of fast submarines. She is fast, well armed massed produceable. She is one of the reasons for the founding of the AIF.

The Type K2 Midget submarine is used for coastal defences. Not seaworthy or fast, but armed with two torpedo launchers and easy to control and mass produce.

Bigger than the K2, but smaller than the I-1, the K3 is a hybrid of both, combining the firepower and relatively small size and mass production of the K2, and the speed and seaworthiness of the I-1.

The surcouf is a large, heavily armed and armored submarine cruiser. It has a toughness of 1940 and an armament of 4 46cm guns and 4 MK 45s and a numerous AA batteries. It's standard cruising speed is 75-80 knots.

Super Warships

The Hyperion(prototype name:reaper) is one of the strongest ships on service of the KISN. It has a speed of 194.4 knots and an armament of 24-25 46cm guns. It has a very good toughness and uses a partial armor ring concept to stop shells hitting vital places of the ship.
