It had been a surprising time for all during the Outcast campaign of Kusari, but least expectant of this were the Corsairs. The Outcasts had long been enemies with the Corsairs, and when Kusari had let out a hand to help the Outcasts, months ago, the least they expected was Kusari to then be attacked by the Outcasts. It happened too fast for the Corsairs to rally.
I was aboard Cadiz when I first recieved news of this from our spies in Kusari. The naval forces had been defeated at Kyushu. Then fell the Nagumo. We first recieved a call for help the day before Honshu was taken, but at the time our forces were too spread out to assist. Then the Emporer was murdered. The Kusari citizens were told to flee. Since then, the old Seii Taishogun turned up in Omicron Gamma. We let him stay, we would let out a hand to help anyone fleeing Outcast rule. Kusari crumbled, one week at a time. There is just a small resistance left at New Tokyo and Shikoku now, the rest are either dead, fled, or submitted.

A powerful piece of drama wrapped up in this sentence..."Kusari crumbled, one week at a time." No more need be said for the energy "rumbles"! A very compact but creative piece of writing!
Meant to mention that I love the name of Blackrain! I think of acid rain. But, more "darkly", I think of the name as an oxymoron - non life-giving rain. Hmmmm
