Gongen get a matching pair of Gongen Katanas (one is slightly smaller than the other).
The second one is a spare. These Gongen Katanas deal 5 lethal damage (+5 dice to the roll).
The monomolecular edge ignores two points of Defense from the target's armor.
Gongen Katanas also have the 9-Again special ability (dice with 9 and 10 explode).
These are double-edged monomolecular blades, each
one made by a master craftsman, not by an automated
process. Each one has a signature mark identifying the
creator. Traditionally, the hilt is wrapped in red cord and
marked with the Mon, or symbol, of the owner. Gongen are
trained in the use of these weapons (add +2 free dots to the Weaponry skill).
A non-Gongen openly flaunting such a weapon in front of
a Gongen is asking for trouble. A Gongen who knowingly
allows a non-Gongen to acquire such a weapon is guilty of
a grievous dishonor. Only in the rarest of occasions can
one not born to Gongen legitimately claim the right to
wield this weapon honorably.
Gongen from an early age are taught that the group and society
is more important than the individual. To try to put a mechanic
to support this I'm going to say that Gongen can burn a point
of their Willpower to give another Gongen or another character on
the ship +3 dice. Normally you can only do this for yourself.
Gongen get the Language Merit for free with 3 dots in it. English is the
common language of the setting so you don't need a dot for that.
There are two Bots on board the ship that are co-owned
by all of the Gongen characters.
Katsura Tree
A member of the Cercidiphyllaceae family, the deciduous Katsura tree grows to a height of 70 feet and a width of 50 feet, spreading from a pyramidal to rounded shape. Insignificant flowers appear in spring. A Katsura tree's crowning glory occurs in autumn, when its 4-inch-long leaves burst into vibrant hues of crimson, yellow and orange, making this an outstanding specimen or street tree. The fallen leaves emit a burnt sugar aroma. Katsura trees prefer sites exposed to full sun or partial shade with protection from chilly winds. They grow best in moist, well drained, neutral to acidic rich soil in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 to 8. Katsura trees are propagated by seed in containers in an open frame as soon as the seeds are ripe. Propagation is also accomplished by using basal cuttings taken in late spring and partially ripe cuttings taken during midsummer.
