Tokugawa Clan

**Tokugawa Shogunate Clan**
Tokugawa Niwa-dono (Human)
Tokugawa Kage-dono (Enerna)
Tokugawa Tsuki-dono (Usagimimi)
The Tokugawa Clan is one of six shogunate clans in the Yamato Galaxy. This clan is rather unique among the shogunate clans. Rather having one daimyo being in charge, they are lead by five daimyos that rule together similar to a democratic council and to ensure that not one member of the family betray another. Like all others, they follow the code of Bushido yet have ninjas that assist in warfare and ensuring the protection of its citizens. The Tokugawa Clan are devoted followers to the philosophy of Sun Tzu and his book, The Art of War, which is a bible for military commanders, diplomats and even entrepreneurs. Unlike the majority of the shogunate clans, they believe in freedom and the rights of their commoners.

## History

When the otakus of the OldVerse were trying to escape to the NewVerse while help out with the Stellar Missile, some among them wanted to recreate the shogunate clans of Japanese Sengoku Era. The reason being is because the founders of the Otaku Federation wanted to create a more peaceful nation where anyone can come and visit without declaring war. But since the Otaku Federation is more of a shield, some of them decided to become the spears that will protect the Yamato Galaxy and the Otaku Federation will remain pacifistic. Thus the creation of the Six Great Shogun Clans were created. Some of them claim to have some blood ties to the original clans. Whether it is true or not is still debatable.

The Tokugawa set up shop in the Mikawa Region of the Yamato Galaxy, right smacked in the middle of all the other shogunate clans. Despite this disadvantage, they are great defenders when defending their territory. The Tokugawa Clan has a strong sense of justice and believe that every lifeform should be free as they launch small crusades in other parts of the NewVerse to fight against oppressors, slavers and the injustices done to this new universe where everyone is given a chance to enjoy their new found freedom. They declared war on the Anglo-Saxon Dominate, the Scions of Hell and the United Alliance of Corporations for they are nothing but terrors of the NewVerse next to that of the Warhammer Empire.

They launch many fighters and ships full of honorable souls to wage war on these factions to save many people that are forced into slavery, being used for atrocities, forced into indentured servitude or face the tyrannical conquest of super powerful empires though trial by fire. Many soldiers fight for the lives of others and destroy their enemies as they help thousands to millions to escape no matter how much they lost which makes the Tokugawa Clan a more altruistic clan above the others. While saving lives and learning from their loses, they take what they learn to create better weapons and technology that would help save more lives while also guarantee keeping their own troops alive. With all that they learned, they even use it to prevent the other clans from coming into their territory with massive weapons and impressive technology.

However, the Warfare Administrative Rationale Assembly (W.A.R.) Assembly came to being around 2039 with promises of a "organized" and "lawful" warfare. The Tokugawa Clan asked some questions before signing. One of them includes on freeing people from whatever that faction had in mind for them. The W.A.R. Assembly says yes, but as long as it falls with in reason and the Tokugawa has to give up something of equal value. The five daimyos discussed the proposition at length before agreeing. After a total of three hours, they agreed to sign. Afterwards things have been running smoothly. Whenever the Tokugawa Clan wins, they free all the people that are forced into servitude or forced to be part of some sacrificial ritual. Whenever the Tokugawa loses, they either give up something valuable such as some weaponized mech as a trophy or some resources they have, or they turn back and never come back until an appointed time of date.

Around 2065, a space viking civilization, known as the Republic of Nordigoth, appear in the Yamato Galaxy to conquer the Otaku Federation despite going against the Unspoken Golden Law. The Tokugawa sprang into action against the viking hordes along with the other clans as they stand united against these uncultured swines with their impressive and experimental weaponry that annihilated as many of the Nordigoths that got in their way. The united clans completely eradicated the Nordigoths as swiftly as they did with the Tokugawa claiming much of the destroyed ships and technological knowledge as they can for resource purposes and create better weapons.

The Tokugawa continued to thrive along side the W.A.R. Assembly. But unfortunately, tragedy came around 2121 as the W.A.R. Assembly was wiped out through attacks on their many stations that were supposed to monitor and ensure lawful warfare and being betrayed from the inside. The Tokugawa Clan steeled themselves against everything that is about to be thrown at them. They prepared their defenses and gathered everyone that they rescued back at Mikawa as they increase their defenses and waited for a whole year to see if anyone would come and try to invade. After one year, nothing happened. Once it is all cleared, the Tokugawa Clan raised more of their forces and launch attacks on the slavers and oppressors that are a scourge in the NewVerse.

Even now, in 2142, the Tokugawa Clan still fight against the injustices of the NewVerse.

## Economy

The economy is based on the historical Japanese currency known as ryo (両). Ryoes are oval-shaped, golden coins that were once used by shoguns during the Sengoku Period. However, each of the coins have been minted with the stamp of the crest of one of the clans that are in-charge of the region of the Yamato Galaxy that they govern. Although people can exchange the ryoes that have the shogun's crest on it for another when entering in another shogun's territory because they are all equal in value.

Since the Tokugawa Clan is in a middle of all the other clans, they have far more resources to trade and create everything needed for fighting the injustices and against the atrocities of the new universe they live in. The Tokugawa traded much of the interstellar resources that they have in the region. Many of them includes metals, exotic gases, dark matter, antimatter, and much more as they use in order to create a prosperous economy in order to earn enough materials and money to fund the campaign against those that would enslave people across the NewVerse. The Tokugawa have an affinity for different resource harvesting techniques from a variety of cultures in the NewVerse as many of the traders made peace with some of them less hostile factions. Some of the new mining techniques actually focus on the resource itself and doesn't harm the environment.

People that were rescued showed many thanks to them and were granted sanctuary in the Mikawa Region. Thanks to their great educational plans for refugees, many of the people rescued became very talented in many fields once they graduated, assuming they decided to stay. Those that stay help further the economy of the Tokugawa with many trade negotiations with the other shogunate clans and other factions. The Tokugawa even request mercenaries from other factions in order to wage war against those that would enslave.

Despite the amount of trade, the resources they have are even much higher than the other shogunate clan regions. Some say they have some sort of stellar manipulation technology that allows them to generate more resources. When people look at the maps, they notice the stars in the Mikawa Region of the Yamato Galaxy double and reduce every six months. Whether it is true or not, the Tokugawa Clan has the other clans beaten in terms of economics, trade and diplomacy.

## Military

The military of the Tokugawa Clan is using Tokugawa Clan units from *Total War: Shogun 2* and use the Empire of the Rising Sun units from *Red Alert 3*. The Empire of the Rising Sun units are common among the shogunate clans. For space and mechs, they use a large collection of mechs from practically **EVERY** single mech series and other series that contains giant robots. Seriously, rumor has it that they have an entire planet dedicated to storing every single robot that their is both magical and sci-fi. That includes ones from the Warhammer Empire with many adjustments made to them to make them more mobile, including the Emperor-class Titans and make them more like mobile fortresses instead of monasteries.

As for their common troops, they wear biomechanical suits that temporarily altering their bodies and physiology in order to adapt for any alien planet they fight on, no matter how hazardous. Visually, the armor has many curves, comes in various shades of green, and appears biological and natural. Yet they protect the wearer from toxins, atmospheric poisons, fungal spores, and venomous flora and fauna. Not to mention that is allows them to breath in space for an eternity while also protecting them from all the harmful radiation while in space. The military is also comprised of people of different species and cultures that are either mercenaries, people that have been saved and volunteer, and people who volunteer to fight injustices in the NewVerse.

As for their tactics, they follow the teachings of Sun Tzu to the letter as if it was some holy bible for warriors that they use to fight against the injustices. Unlike many other factions, they prefer to use strategy and try to predict what their enemy will do. In other words, their commanders are smarter than the guns blazing, bloodthirsty, impudent clans they are surrounded by. Yet there are those that prefer to go in guns blazing in order to save a lot more people rather than strategy, which are comprised of volunteers that are more extreme with their methods as they lay their vengeance on the people that treated them horribly. This faction in the army is known as, the Kageki-ha (which is Japanese for extremists which is a very fitting name), as they ignore most orders and charge in...which get them killed...a lot. Luckily, because of that, their numbers have dwindled a lot over the years but that doesn't stop many from volunteering to join in order to fight for vengeance.

## Planets

**NO DATA**

The reason why there is hardly any data is because the Tokugawa Clan like to keep much of their systems censored because since they crusade against the injustices of the NewVerse, their enemies might come in and take back people that escaped or rescued. How would you feel that someone you saved ended-up getting taken back the next day? Plus they like to keep out pirates, slavers and who knows whatever else there is. Which works...99% of the time.
