Swamp Valley, Wolcott, Draconis Combine, May 31, 3051
The immediate area around here where the decisive challenge for Wolcott was fought and won is alive with prayer flags as the few who fell here are gratefully remembered. Hohiro Kurita fought a limited-scale battle here as a duel to decide the planet's future. The Genyosha (newly rechristened the Yuutsu, or Blue Devils) supplied the two regiments which were allowed to fight this battle. The terms of this battle promised that the Smoke Jaguars would take no action to retake this world if the Kuritan forces were victorious. And they were victorious.
House Kurita now has a base behind the enemy lines. Censorship forbids us to relate how the planet is being fortified, and which troops are being based here, but experienced MechWarriors can make their own assessment, probably with a fair chance of being right.
Honor to the Dragon!
