Need some timeline help
« on: June 20, 2011, 04:53:19 PM »

It has been suggested to me that I could get some good help straightening out the time line I have written my book around.

The time line was given to me in 1995 at Knight's March 95 by a person who was claiming to be with FASA. He was full of B S and I found out too late because in my enthusiasm I wrote three books not one.
Divulgence of Honour 1stbook is now being offer in CBT and if I can will be offered here!
The first part of the book is easy to work though. The Main character is assigne to (Kurita's Flower) a newly re-commissioned, refit Monolith Jump ship. This is her first Posting as one of the first female Grads from Sun Zhang Military Academy. She is assigned as Bridge Security. Dates are not that important. Chapter 2 is where I need the Corrected timeline.


Thie the timeline I was given!
The Most Honourable Takashi Kurita,
Duke of Luthien, Unifier of Worlds:
Coordinator of the Draconis Combine, visits a Battle sight after the Defenders held off overwelming numbers of attacking Davion troops. He speeks to a young girl; who, has bow but unlike the rest of those watching has not taken a position of supplication as Takashi is viewing the Sight.
He speaks to her and her answers intrigue him. She has shown no fear at his presence, only respect and honour. When a personal guard tries to force the young girl to kneel, she puts the Guard to his knees. Takashi sees a Warrior in front of him and she stands with a Katana dripping the Blood of fallen Warriors. The warroir stands on one leg and behind her are other female warriors and male warriors with a snake on their shoulders. He blinks and steps back, as he draws his sword only to see the Young girl standing un-flinching infront of him!

He says that he will see the girl is schooled and trained at Sun Zhang, and he knows of another young girl who should be someplace other than where she is. The young girls is 10 and has been studying under her father, the art of Kendo and {kensai ?}. She has title to the summer of of her father {a top researcher for Earthworks} so she goes there with a Female assigned to her By Takashi.

Others are sent there and all but 2 are female, it is a secert project Takashi has started to bring woman into the warrior class!
I now know Takashi would not have even considered this, and the timeline  which was to start 20 years before the clans invade! 10 years of teaching, five years service then the clan invade!

I don't see any problem yet (apart from the fight with the Davions).

Theador Kurita is the one to bring Women into the Warrior Class as the Clans depleat the DCMS ranks. Was hoping to stay with in canon with this timeline!

(apart from the fight with the Davions).

Not sure what you mean by this!

You should try tracking that poser down and beating him to death with the manuscripts.

The Most Honourable Theadore Kurita,
Gunji no Kanrei:Heir to the Dragon,
 visits a Battle sight after the Defenders held off overwelming numbers of attacking Davion troops. He speeks to a young girl; who, has bow but unlike the rest of those watching has not taken a position of supplication as Theadore is viewing the Sight.

He speaks to her and her answers intrigue him. She has shown no fear at his presence, only respect and honour. When a personal guard tries to force the young girl to kneel, she puts the Guard to his knees. This action causes Theadore to see a vision of a Warrior in front of him and she stands with a Katana dripping the Blood of fallen Warriors that suround her. The warroir stands on one leg and behind her are other female warriors and male warriors with a snake on their shoulders. He blinks and steps back, as he draws his own Katana, but only to see the Young girl standing un-flinching infront of him!

He says that he will see the girl is schooled and trained at Sun Zhang, and he knows of another young girl who should be someplace other than where she is. The young girls is 10 and has been studying under her father, the art of Kendo and {kensai ?}. She has title to the summer of of her father {a top researcher for Luthien Armor Works} so she goes there with a Female assigned to her By Theadore.

Others are sent there and all but 2 are female, it is a secert project Theadore has started to bring woman into the warrior class!

How does this work for you?

I don't think so.
You could find women in the DCMS prior to the Clan Invasion (just check Wolves on the Border).

Not sure what you mean by this!

Just that 3050 minus 20 years is 3030, which is the end of the 4th Succession War where the Federated Suns didn't go on the offensive against the Draconis Combine.

I believe I may be getting books crossed but I was sure Davion hit Dieron at the end of the 4th Succession war and pulled back as peace was declared and orders were delayed by a Comstar HPG Tech. what the unit was I can not remember!

Right and Theadore Kurita is made Gunji-no-kanri in 3030!
Women were in office jobs, not Combat Officers or in combat! I maybe wrong and I have been trying to find out if I am, but it was Theadoe as Gunji-no-kanri, that put women into the Combat roll in the Draconis Combine! Yes, Mercs and other houses (Liao not included) allowed woman to fight as Mechwarriors and to lead Troops!
I ask those of Japanese and Chinese back ground to pardon the next comment! Both the Japanese and now the Chinese have only resently given women more right and station in their Culture. In Battle Tech Takashi Kurita is an Iron Bound Traditionalist to the role of woman. 'They are there to make life more liviable for men!' Theadore was more open minded to the role woman could play in the Combine!
At least that is the way I see the write up in the old Black cover House Kurita  Draconis Combine  book! I may have miss-understood what was written!

I am not Iron Bound and would welcome a correction on the timeline

In the original House Kurita Sourcebook there are 5 women of command or aide rank for Prefectures and 10 commanding regiments.

These are just women's names I recognise, as they may be other oriental ones I am not familiar with, increasing the number.

Ok! My Bad and now I am lost! I wish now I had not listened to the dude that got me going on this because of the timeline issue and the women!

I wish I retained things after reading once!

Khan Jade Wolf, may be easiest if you timeline it

ie

3030 this happens

3040 this happens

then we could help reorganize it and help you either with a rewrite or help organize it?

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.

Hehe that was the big problem My timeline was not defined in the first or second draft. The dude that started me off on this was suppose to meet me and refine it. I had two points of time given to me.
Her family killed in a Davion raid 3030, clans invade 3050.  I went hungry so I could buy Invading clans and Wolf and Jade Falcon books and House Kurita. He gave me the House the characters were from, the the Clan she would meet up with and how all this was to come about!

I ran with it and my friends thought I had moved, or died or just locked myself away.  Three books later I came up and hunted for dude!

And I am sure that in Wolves on the Border, one of the Chu-I of the original Ryuken unit was a woman.
This was around 3027 but it didn't sound like it was that usual.

For Dieron, I will have to look at it.

Ok couple of things i've spotted so far.

Dieron would (in 3030) have been raided by the LCAF if anyone as they were attacking the Combine whilst the DCMS was invading FedSuns space during the 4th war.

Also Earthworks Inc (AFAIK) don't have any facilities within the Combine, on Dieron LAW (Luthien Armor Works) would be a better choice.
