In YE 41, when the Motoyoshi Clan returned to the Yugumo Cluster, it was decided by Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko that the clan would invest in the recovery and restoration of the region. The Yugumo Corporation absorbed many companies that had suffered hardship after the Second Mishhuvurthyar War and set out to put people to work and restore the economy.

It was decided later that year, that further investment would need to be made in the local economy. In YE 42 it was proposed that a Ge-H1-7A - Kōdaina Minato-Class Orbital Installation would help boost trade and economic growth. The development of the station took a massive investment from the Motoyoshi Clan, Yugumo Corporation, local governments and the Yamatai Star Empire. The Yugumo Corporation approached the Tamahagane Corporation and started the process of constructing the station in early YE 42.⁵⁾

The original plan had the station set to be finished by the end of YE 42, but due to supply shortages attributed to the Kuvexian War, the station would not be completed until early YE 43.

In YE 44, it was decided by Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko that through modifications such as the addition of experimental Yumeoibito Hyperspace Fold Drive drives developed at Nemesis Bastion, that Port Jiyuu would become a colony platform for the Colonization Initiative Alliance fleet.⁶⁾

The Chief of Communications at Port Jiyuu is Amaya Shiori, she is a knowledgeable and experienced pilot who knows the ins and outs of docking with the Port. She has terrific communications skills and is always ready to give some help to incoming starships and small crafts to the station. She is also a proud member of the Star Army Reserve.

Port Jiyuu has the layout of the Ge-H1-7A - Kōdaina Minato-Class Orbital Installation. See the standard Internal Configuration.

The Command and Administration of Port Jiyuu.

Joint Command is the Red Sector, day-to-day operations for Port Jiyuu are headed up by Motoyoshi-Igarashi Yuka, and her daughter Motoyoshi-Igarashi Yue, and their team from the Yugumo Corporation. It commonly is a meeting place for all representatives of the Yugumo Colonization Initiative, as well as the First Expeditionary Fleet and Fifth Expeditionary Fleet.

The Green Sector region in the lower part of the stack shared by Red Sector houses the Yugumo Corporation Headquarters and Operations for the Yugumo Corporation. The corporation moved its administration center and main offices to Port Jiyuu as soon as it opened in YE 43. It was important for the massive growing corporation to be the first tenant in the civilian space station that they invested in and would promote for the years to come. Their operations on the stations are spread across all of the sectors.

Ryu Keiretsu was one of the first Corporations to lease space in the Port.

Ryu Keiretsu Port Jiyuu Operations includes:

• Lease of Gold Sector 05 Bay.
• Orange Sector Bays 30-37.

An additional set of gold bays, Gold Sector 02 and 03, would be designated for use by Ketsurui Fleet Yards and Yugumo Fleetworks to be used as a major shipyard during the operations under the Colonization Initiative Alliance fleet. The shipyard would be used in lieu of bringing Zodiac-Class Star Fortress along to service the First Expeditionary Fleet and Fifth Expeditionary Fleet during transit. This section would become access restricted to Ketsurui Fleet Yards, Yugumo Fleetworks, and Star Army of Yamatai personnel only.

Gold Sector 04 would be placed under the discretionary use of Taisa Kage Yaichiro to conduct activities geared towards the production of new ships for the Star Army of Yamatai.

Arrivals, Customs and Immigration, Public Docking Facilities, and Businesses.

Customs and Immigration for station arrivals in Blue Sector is handled by Yamatai Department Of Immigration. Traffic Control and Logistics are handled by the Yugumo Corporation.

Some businesses operating in Blue Sector:

Asagumo City is a massive mega-city that is located in the Green Sector. Asagumo translates to 朝雲, Morning Cloud in Yamataigo (邪馬台語). Asagumo is often referred to as “Space Tokyo” as it serves as Tokyo away from home. Asagumo was originally built to house the long-term population of the space station and serve as the local capital for the Port. That change in YE 44 when it became the city of Pioneers and Colonists bound for destinations outside the Kikyo Sector. It is a stable and sustained Yamatai (Planet)-like environment

Asagumo is described as an urban, ultramodern paradise in the stars. Its towering colored paneled skyscrapers glisten in the light from the simulated sky of the Green Sector. A city known for its landscapes; lush gardens and crystal blue waterways. It is a feat of engineering and a vibrant living city where people live, work, and play. The city is divided into five prefectures with Asagumo-jo in the center.

Asagumo City is a marvel of Yamataian ingenuity and architecture. It captures elements from both Tokyo and Kyoto.

Asagumo-jo is the private palace residence of the Motoyoshi Clan on Port Jiyuu. It is located at the very center of Asagumo City and was constructed in YE 43.

Funded by the Yugumo Corporation at the request of Ketsurui-Motoyoshi Katsuko, the Yugumo Science Symposium was formed in YE 43. The formation followed communication between Katsuko and Xiaah Harr'Ikke "Destiny" Tur'Lista which included an invitation to the Lorath Matriarchy to send a team of scientists to join the team from the Yugumo Corporation that had been talked to resolve the effects of Project Checkout. ⁷⁾

In YE 44, the main division of the Yugumo Science Symposium was moved to Tokyo. The one in Asagumo City would become a joint science division for Yugumo Corporation and Lorath Matriarchy scientists for the Colonization Initiative Alliance fleet.

The Yugumo Science Symposium Complex includes conference and lecture halls, dedicated laboratories, and residences designed to accommodate the visiting Lorath scientists.

A skyscraper owned by YTP Entertainment and their corporate headquarters. It is a sixty-level skyscraper with tinted purple Transparent Durandium windows that overlook the city. Being located in the entertainment district, the building is known for its nighttime use of volumetric light shows and promotions of their concerts and entertainment groups. Its rooftop exclusive nightclub frequently hosts exclusive shows and high-end parties.

There are residential blocks that include Kyoto-style Micro-Apartments.
