Be jubilant, Davion and Kurita alike! The Draconis Combine has recaptured the site of its greatest victory and NKVA will be setting up a permanent residence on the planet to ensure the continued loyalty of all inhabitants to Dear Coordinator. By this of course I mean the soldiery of NKVA and 52 million enemy combatants.

Ha ha ha.

We would like to thank Davion for the gracious gift of this planet by way of their paltry, laughable defense. We assure you that we will take very good care of our new home, shortly after we clear it of its previous inhabitants and erect a memorial to the assassination of former Dear Coordinator Minoru Kurita, may he rest in peace.

Ha ha ha.

A Glorious Day! A Great Day! All Glory To The Combine and Dear Coordinator!

Finally, the site of one of the most horrifying and repulsive acts in the history of the Inner Sphere, the Cowardly Assassination of Dear Coordinator Minoru Kurita by the Filthy Davion Rats, is back in the fold of the Draconis Combine, where it rightfully belongs!

Kentares IV will do well in the Greater Kurita Co-Prosperity Sphere, once the lamentable monument situation is rectified.

Coordinator Minoru's soul rest peacefully now. I try to hold back the tears, but they continue to flow. There can be no greater joy but to stand upon this hallowed ground, and bless Coordinator's name. I am sure Clan Davion understand meaning of this sacred body, and know its true home is with the Draconis Combine. Praise Coordinator! Glory to the Dragon!

ISF teams on ground now investigating and clearing the name of honorable Coordinator Jinjuro Kurita - evidence shows that Fedrat scum lied about Kentares Massacre as the populace cried at the death of great Coordinator Minoru Kurita - no massacre ever took place! Shameful display from Fedrats to lie all these years. The monument to your lies will be replaced soon no worry.

The Goons are alive and well, they have found a new spiritual home in Kurita space.

Finally, Kentares IV is liberated and I stand upon the shores of the site of this ancient Kuritan victory. The First Succession war is now ancient history to some, but we in the DCMS still remember the great sacrifices made by our military forces on this planet. My blood boils when I think of Coordinator Minoru Kurita being shot in the back by a cowardly Fedrat sniper. If I am honest the deaths of several thousands (citation needed) of House Davion unlawful combatants is a highly controversial figure which many modern historians dispute to be significantly lower [1], and does not properly weigh against the death of our Dear Coordinator living according to the tenets of the Bushido code.

I bring with me my great grandfather's ashes, and his ancient endo-steel katana. Staring at the patterns running along the blade, I reflect back on how it was forged. The blade was forged in the fires of Kentares IV in the year 2797 before Kuritan forces left the planet. A lance of Centurions came up against my great grandfather's lance. After the battle, pieces of one of the Centurions were used to forge katana blades. Unfortunately, due to the poor quality of Davion endo-steel the steel had to be folded almost as many times as the Davion defenses did in that year of fighting. Although it does not maintain the same edge as a modern Hanzo-Krupp endo-steel blade, I like to think that the spirit of my great grandfather guides my sword arm against the Davion dogs.

Thank you Dear Coordinator *bows 90° towards Kuritan homeworld* for having given me the opportunity to return the ashes to this ancient site that bore sight to House Kurita's finest hour.

House Kurita rejoice
Kentares is home once more
My fathers bones rest

Of all the insults made to us, of all the insults we have made, this is unforgivable.

[Lord Ikka]

200 years ago a horrible mistake was made by a madman; it cost the lives of millions of civilians and destroyed the lives/minds of many of the Warriors that followed his orders.

Hopefully with this new liberation the Combine can put to rest the nightmare from the past.

Indeed, that 7th Crucis Lancer sniper brought tragedy and dishonor to Kentares, may that madman be forever shamed.

Agreed, let us forgive first prince John and the Davion Dogs for their wanton slaughter of DC civilians during the First Succession war.

Rest assured, your citizens are in good hands now.

They have embraced their new masters.

Sniper was doing his job, distasteful as it may be, and was simply trying to take out an enemy officer. Jinjiro Kurita was a madman, as any unbiased and logical person could see. The only redeeming quality he had was his military sense. The fact that he basically was put in a closet until he was needed, and didn't run House Kurita, shows this definitively.

Just because you follow the Dragon doesn't mean you have to whitewash the truth- the Kentares IV Massacre was a horrible war crime order by a psychopath and carried out by the DCMS. When thousands of Mechwarriors who participated wound up committing suicide later after the enormity of what they had done caught up with them, you can't justify those actions as anything other than a crime. To use bravado and propaganda to cover up the incident is a cowardly move- we are better than that. We own up to what happened long ago and make sure it never happens again.

The Arm of the Dragon fights honorable battles, for the glory of House Kurita.

Yes, with this gift of the planet Kentares, let us see that we forget the actions of the madman who brutally took the life of Coordinator Minoru, and finally clear Kurita of the shameful lies that have been perpetrated by Clan Davion for nearly two centuries.

Agreed, the Davion Clanner Military Specialists who perpetrated this action against Dear Coordinator Minoru Kurita are criminals of the most vile sort.

If the sniper could not recognize the face of Dear Coordinator then I question the Crucis Lancers' vision requirements.

Apparently NKVA doesn't teach the ability to read...or understand history. At least they teach shooting.
