Kokuryu-Kai, also known as the Black Dragon Society, is a hardline traditionalist group opposed to Theodore Kurita's reforms of the Draconis Combine. Their intent is to overcome the imperial government and return the Combine back to the traditional ways that existed prior to then-Coordinator Takashi Kurita permiting most of the Rasalhague Military District to breakaway from the Combine and form the Free Rasalhague Republic in 3034.

The group had staged a number of uprisings against Theodore Kurita, including an assassination attempt on the his birthday in 3058.[citation needed]

History

Operation Batu

In October 3062, the society launched all three Alshain Avengers units to attack Clan Ghost Bear's capital world of Alshain as part of Operation Batu, triggering the Combine-Ghost Bear War.[1]

Jihad

In December 3067, forces loyal to the Society invaded Luthien in attempt to control the capital, capturing the Voice of the Dragon compound in the final week of the month. They had taken control of the planet by 30th of December.[2][3]

In December 3074, during the Clan Ghost Bear assault against the Blakist presence on Luthien, the Black Dragon-controlled 6th Benjamin and 40th Dieron Regulars combined their resources to attack the clan's Omega Galaxy. Though frustrated by not engaging the Word of Blake Militia, the clan warriors devastated both regiments.[4]

Notes

  • It is interesting that the Black Dragon ruling council used Council of Gem code-names. That system was also used by the Rasalhague resistance movement that attempted to assassinate Takashi Kurita in 3019. Hassid Ricol was part of that conspiracy, and also went by the name "Ruby". It seems likely that it was his idea to adopt those names for the Black Dragons. [8]
