-Sakura's campaign began July 25, 2005, and lasted until June 8, 2007 (1 year, 10 months, 15 days). Its [[guide:game_master]] is [[user:wes]], the owner of StarArmy.com. The Sakura plot's primary conflict was combating the brutal and mysterious [[species:mishhuvurthyar]]; significant other conflicts included uncovering dark secrets of Yamatai and ongoing polygonal relationships between the captain and her crew. The YSS Sakura Forum was used for roleplaying the plot and included Sakura's last mission; Sakura's previous missions are available in archived text files. At the end of the first campaign the Sakura plot had somewhere between 900 and 1000 roleplay posts, most of which were [[guide:roleplaying#joint_posts|joint posts]] lasting several pages.+Sakura's campaign began July 25, 2005, and lasted until June 8, 2007 (1 year, 10 months, 15 days).

 YSS Sakura was the only active long term plot to be restricted to mature players eighteen and older due to graphic descriptions of sexual and violent acts. It was known for its sudden, alternating excesses of violent, brutal warfare and physical romance, and for its traditional [[faction:yamatai:dare_lottery_party]]. Sakura also had more battles credited to it than any other active plot ship. Several gamemasters have been "raised" on the Sakura, including Fred (GM of the [[yss_miharu]]) and ForteMaster (GM of [[places:pisces]]). Likewise, the Sakura had also had its share of disappearing, incompetent, or inactive new players, whose characters Wes tended to dispose of in violent ways. YSS Sakura was the only active long term plot to be restricted to mature players eighteen and older due to graphic descriptions of sexual and violent acts.

 Twenty-five Sakura gunships, broken into five squadrons, were a key element in the invasion of [[system:Refidh]] and the subsequent chase of the Mishhuvurthyar through the [[places:great_southern_nebula]], to the [[system:lor]] system. The [[yss_nadeshiko]], under command of Taisa Rufus Sydney, assisted the YSS Sakura when it was damaged by an SMX [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:starships:xianthrafruglu_gunship]]. Sakura later headed into deep Mishhuvurthyar space to investigate the "[[species:umbral|Dark Ones]]" responsible for manipulating the Mishhuvurthyar, and managed to encounter the first known [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:starships:shlarvasseroth-class_battleship]], which would later devestate [[system:taiie]]. Twenty-five Sakura gunships, broken into five squadrons, were a key element in the invasion of [[system:Refidh]] and the subsequent chase of the Mishhuvurthyar through the [[places:great_southern_nebula]], to the [[system:lor]] system.

-Sakura escaped with a warning from [[characters:mishhuvurthyar:melisson]] but returned to attack [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:sfrarabla_mishhuvurthyar_xhrafuklurp]] shipyards. After two intense battles, the ship, on its third strike, was captured. Teleporting [[..:mindy_power_armor]]s came aboard and retrieved the hybrid prisoner Sakura had found while salvaging and captured several of the crew, depositing them on an icy moon where they had to fight their way out through hoardes of zombies.+Sakura escaped with a warning from [[characters:mishhuvurthyar:melisson]] but returned to attack [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:smx]] shipyards.

 Ordered to recover, Sakura headed for [[system:lor]] where the crew split up into three groups, each engaging in various and sundry physical activities with the natives and each other. During the visit, hoever, Chief Med/Sci Officer [[characters:archived:miles_gunn]] and pilot [[characters:archived:elisa_metea]] were brought into the depths of the Lorath Palace's laboratory complex, where they met with former crewmember [[characters:archived:nakamura_sana]], who had been infected by the [[species:retired:sourcian|Sourcians]]. During this meeting, a [[..:black_spiral]] clone of Hanako entered the facility and attempted to assassinate Miles. The doctor's life was saved by the real Hanako, but his body was too irradiated to survive. His mind was, against his will, transferred to a Yamataian body. Miles, enraged, went insane and turned against the crew, causing extensive damage to the ship before he was killed by MEGAMI's avatar. The Sakura returned to Ketsurui Star Fortress for repairs. During the repairs, Hanako and crew temporarily moved to [[yss_ravisher]]. Ordered to recover, Sakura headed for [[system:lor]] where the crew split up into three groups, each engaging in various and sundry physical activities with the natives and each other.

 Seeking out [[..:black_spiral]], Hanako and crew tried finding them on [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia]], but narrowly escaped a short civil war there (over "pure" human DNA). They were more successful, however, after they returned to Scorpio to examine logistics records for the new teleportation units for Mindy power armors. Encountering a Black Spiral ship, the [[yss_black_swan]] (commanded by [[stararmy:ranks:taisa]] [[characters:yamatai:nagase_nagako]]), Hanako pleaded for Black Spiral to abandon Eve's hurtful leadership and return to Yamatai's side. The captain didn't say so at the time, but she apparently has accepted. Seeking out [[..:black_spiral]], Hanako and crew tried finding them on [[faction:democratic_imperium_of_nepleslia]], but narrowly escaped a short civil war there (over "pure" human DNA).
