Shogun Tadamichi Kuribayashi ends the ban on gaijin and opens Shogunate ports for the first time in almost six centuries. Developing trade agreements with the Katasian Order and the Ystovian Ryk, the Shogunate intervenes in the West Sarmenian crisis
The Shogun puts down a false claimant to the Jade Throne, Yaemon Yabu, by kettō, or honourable duel, after Yabu is captured by members of the Katasian Deathwatch. The Shogunate, Ystovian Ryk and Katasian Order form the Laptev Axis, in order to defend against threats made by the Republic of Osean. Following an Axis victory in the Osean War, the Soviet States of Imaginarium joins the Axis. Revolutionary Mediterranea applies for membership to the Axis, but is destroyed in a short war marked by Axis sabotage of its military airbases. Admiral Hawkins of Royal Tasmania attempts to kidnap the Tasmanian Royal Family. The Axis invades and overturns his regime, but the Admiral escapes. The Krakohzian Crisis, a nuclear standoff between the Axis and the nuclear superpower of Krakohzia, ends with a joint denuclearisation programme and the ceding of key Krakohzian border territories to Axis control. The Empire of Barsus declares war on the Axis. A prolonged aerial campaign results in the carpet bombing of several key Barsan cities and the collapse of the Empire of Barsus. The Axis develops faster-than-light technology and begins exploring nearby solar systems First contact is made with the Jedi Order, who admit samurai and Katasians into their ranks Shogunate infantry fights alongside the Order during the Kisnik Wars. The mercantile East Ingen Company is founded. The Kuntrian War sees the Federation of Greater Kuntree discover and invade the Laptev System. Through use of Stasis Field technology, the invasion is repulsed during the Battle of Seiiki. An attempted WMD attack by the retreating Kuntrians is foiled, but leads to intervention by the New Free Planets Alliance and the Great Houses of Xie, who assist the Axis in counter-attacking Greater Kuntree, dividing up the conquered territories of Mercior and Laos II. |

The Yuuzhan Vong War begins with the Battle over Xcaret, a phyrric victory for the Shogunate as they and several nearby allied fleets from the Ish'Cong, United Pokemon Types, Katasian Order and NFPA turn back the vanguard of a vast Yuuzhan Vong invasion force whilst suffering heavy losses.
In the Battle of Midnight's Tomb, allied ground forces attempt to utilise gravity well technology to pull the enemy fleet onto the planet of Xcaret, but are overwhelmed and withdraw. This event sours relations between the Laptev Axis and the nations that would in future form the Barlat Concordiat. After two further years of fighting, including the conquest and destruction of the planet of Laos II by the invaders, the Yuuzhan Vong War ends after the remaining Yuuzhan Vong forces are finally driven away from the Laptev System in the First Battle over Laptev. Rebuilding efforts begin. Neusattar is voluntarily annexed. |

As the Shogunate recovers from the devastation of the Vong Wars, the small nation of Treksylvania launches an assault on far-flung Imperial mining outposts. Together with the intergalactic superpowers of Zlost and Levant Al-Asad, whose concerns are endangered by this attack, the Shogunate launches the Treksylvania Campaign and bombards the planet of Treksylvania before landing ground forces who capture and summarily execute the leaders of Treksylvania. The survivors go on to form the theocracy of Holy Trek, and are wiped out in an unrelated war against Yee and Gotham.
A unit of genetically and surgically modified transhuman warriors known as the Chapter, is introduced to augment the Shogunate's military in the wake of several devastating wars. This leads to widespread discontent amongst ethnic minorities and the samurai classes. Later in the same year, the Chapters destroy a Katasian Order warship and several Ish'Cong trading vessels during the Weapons Free incident, leading to the execution of the entire unit and the dismantling of the program. |
