History

In 2036 after California secceded from the UCAS, San Francisco hosted a contingent of Japanese Imperial Marines as a part of a defense agreement with Japan. These troops were recalled only in 2061. Colonel Keiji Saito in charge of the "rear guard", refused the order, establishing with the remaining troop a secured zone in central California known as the California Protectorate.
