Post subject:  Imperial Edict on Maritime Exploration

In the 13th year of Our August Reign,

Mindful of Decrees and Edicts of Our Great Predecessors on the Emerald Throne,

Faithful to the Direction given to the Affairs in the Empire by Our Great Predecessorersses,

We, the Son of Heaven, Hantei the Ninth, the Emperor of Rokugan, hereby decree the following:

- The reestablishment of the corps of Imperial Explorers, once existing during the reign of Hantei the Third, for the purpose of maritime exploration.
- The development of the Imperial Navy beyond coastal defences toward a modern force that can cross the high seas. The effort shall be spearheaded by the Imperial Explorers.
- The creation of the title and office of the Imperial Admiral. The title is initially bestowed upon Our second son Jama. The way to select future Imperial Admirals shall be determined by Our successor on the Emerald Throne. The authority of the Imperial Admiral shall extend to the corps of Imperial Explorers and all their respective assets. The office of the Imperial Admiral shall be financed from the Imperial Treasury.
- The establishment of the Imperial Naval College in Kiken na Roka Toshi from the assets designated by the Seppun and approved of by the Imperial Admiral. The requirement for the Imperial Naval College to adopt all knowledge and practical expertise available in the Empire and beyond that furthers capabilities of the Imperial Explorers and the Imperial Navy.
- The development of curriculum, examination, censure and certification in the Imperial Naval College for the purpose of training of the Imperial Explorers. The right of the Imperial Admiral to appoint the Master Sensei of the Imperial Naval College.
- The relinquishment of all samurai in the Empire recognised as faithful servants of the Emerald Throne who are approved for enrolment into the Imperial Naval College from their commitments in service and education to all other entities under Our Suzerainty as their Duty in the Empire is foremost and paramount.
- The obligation and the right of the Imperial Explorers to claim all assets beyond the Empire in the name of the Emperor and to subject all lands and peoples to Our Heavenly Reign through incorporation or tribute.

All rights, titles, institutions, forces and appointments stipulated in the above Edict enjoy Our Blessing extended on behalf of Our Heavenly Progenitors, Amaterasu and Onnotangu.

By the hand of Our Son,
Hantei the Ninth
