-Sakura's campaign began July 25, 2005, and lasted until June 8, 2007 (1 year, 10 months, 15 days). Its [[guide:game_master]] is [[members: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.

 Taisa [[characters:yamatai:hanako|Ketsurui Hanako]], former servant to former empress [[characters:yamatai:yui]], later joined the crew of YSS Sakura following its return to Yamatai after [[timeline:events:battle_of_hoshi_no_iori]], and would eventually become its captain. Taisa [[characters:yamatai:hanako|Ketsurui Hanako]], former servant to former empress [[characters:yamatai:yui]], later joined the crew of YSS Sakura following its return to Yamatai after [[timeline:events:battle_of_hoshi_no_iori]], and would eventually become its captain.
  
-The YSS Sakura encountered a cargo ship destined for [[species:mishhuvurthyar]] space, and boarded it. Combat ensued, injuring several Sakura crewmembers. Two prisoners taken from the ship were taken by the [[yss_chrysanthemum]] (along with rescued prisoners from a Mishhuvurthyar ship the Sakura crew later boarded) back to Yamatai. The Sakura did, however, keep one peculiar specimen: a small Nekovalkyrja/Mishhuvurthyar hybrid named Pumpkin.+The YSS Sakura encountered a cargo ship destined for [[species:mishhuvurthyar:mishhuvurthyar]] space, and boarded it.

 The Sakura, after some wild partying typical of the [[..:fleets:first_expeditionary_fleet]], also made first contact with the Lorath, finding a small starship of theirs. Unfortunately, the meeting went bad when "Feather," the Lorath captain, insulted Hanako and pulled a blade on Hanako's bodyguard over a cultural disagreement. At that point, Hanako escorted the Lorath captain back to her vessel at gunpoint. The Sakura, after some wild partying typical of the [[..:fleets:first_expeditionary_fleet]], also made first contact with the Lorath, finding a small starship of theirs.

 At the turn of the new year, [[timeline:ye_29]], the Sakura underwent repairs and a refit at the star fortress that built it, while the crew visited the capital city below. The Sakura's crew left on the [[yss_nozomi]] to get some time on the beach on [[planet:hanakos_world]]. The stay was brief and the crew departed once more on the refitted Sakura. The YSS Sakura then headed to the [[..:bases:scorpio_star_fortress]] Secret Base. The YSS Sakura then investigated [[places:hoshi_no_iori]], but had their efforts severely hindered by disruptions in the [[stararmy:systems:pantheon]] network. Taisho [[characters:yamatai:yui]] sent Taisa Sydney a new set of orders that identified a [[..:black_spiral]] hideout and bade the Sakura to move to the site and confront the Black Spiral there. Taisa Hanako suggested trying to parlay with the Black Spiral to discern their intentions. Her idea was received with mixed feelings, but Taisa Rufus went with that, lacking any other good alternative. At the turn of the new year, [[timeline:ye_29]], the Sakura underwent repairs and a refit at the star fortress that built it, while the crew visited the capital city below.

-The search for an intruder aboard the ship was cut short as two Star Army warships intercepted the YSS Sakura and tried to force it into surrendering, arresting the crew on a false charge of treason - the orders of the arrest apparently coming down from Taisho Yui herself. A battlegroup of Mishhuvurthyar vessels of unknown class configuration made their appearance, engaging the ships. The warship that had docked on the Sakura's dorsal hatch received a crippling blow which quickly spelled its end as well as the demise of Taisa Rufus. Taisa Hanako was spared from dying and Taii Kotori assumed command of the ship, but the two were later captured by the spy (the Neko-Mishhu hybrid [[characters:mishhuvurthyar:pumpkin]]). The YSS Sakura retreated from the scene, fleeing to the [[system:ushobrakflug_old]] system. Luckily, it wasn't long before the two prisoners were rescued. Taisho Yui ordered the Sakura back to Yamatai, where it received repairs and upgrades to the C variant, and participated in the invasion of [[corp:pnugen_corporation|PNUgen]] Headquarters.+The search for an intruder aboard the ship was cut short as two Star Army warships intercepted the YSS Sakura and tried to force it into surrendering, arresting the crew on a false charge of treason - the orders of the arrest apparently coming down from Taisho Yui herself.

 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.
