This is a powerful faction fighting for tradition and a conservative way of life. Ashikaga is led by the warlord Ashikaga Kōgon, who wants Japan to stay closed and to remain traditional. Ashikaga’s goal is to destroy the pockets of resistance hidden in mountain villages, secluded communities and fishing villages, willing to employ cybernetics and human augmentation to win the upper hand.
They use brutal force to crush their opponents and have a powerful army of loyal followers.
Stability over progress. Power over democracy. Control is stronger than freedom.
