Changes
** Although one of the Silverlight Libraries was discovered inside the town's ruins, reportedly containing books and documents in nearly pristine condition, the town quickly announced they would become a "closed city", refusing entry to all but its youkai inhabitants and trusted, vetted caravans and supply groups. The decision angered the Scientific Community, perceiving it as gatekeeping access to history.
** Mippei Yosai mayor Takuma Himura (male, [[guhin]]) justified his decision, stating that the plan to make this town a sealed fortress had already been decided before the Library was found, and that the discovery would not change his decision. He declined to comment on the reasons why Mippei Yosai is a closed town, simply stating that it is "relevant to youkai interests".

* <span style="color:#009900">'''E6-671:'''</span> [[Ventis]] is founded.
** The [[Maze Military]] and the [[Maze Police]] condemned the announcement, refusing to recognize the Nation as legitimate and seeing it as an unsafe, subversive decision that will only make the world unsafe and prevent them from doing their jobs in the Northeastern Zone.
* '''E7-454, Prima 7:''' Task Force "Mind's Eye" is established. It is composed of Sangi, his three trusted lieutenants (Haraguchi, Tawara, and Hirota), and a small team of highly-skilled youkai activists.
* '''E7-454, Prima 8:''' Mippei Yosai's Town Security renames itself to ''Task Force "Divine Edge"'' ('''作戦部隊 「神刃」''', ''sakusen butai 「kamujin」''), and establishes the Training Center ('''講習会場''', ''koushuukaiba''), a 100% youkai military recruitment and training center.
* '''E7-454, Hexema 1:''' In response to the announcement, the Military mobilizes all of its forces and enters a state of high alert, preparing themselves for war. Colonel Mark Phasma, the leader of the Military at the time, treated the announcement as a declaration of war, and intends to strike the Youkai Nation's capital, [[Yurai]], in what he described as a "surgical strike intended to demoralize the enemy activists". This plan is dubbed ''Operation Needle Poke''.
* '''E7-455, Prima 16: Operation Needle Poke:''' The First Company, led by Captain Francis Donahue, moves out towards Yurai to invade the town and demand the unconditional surrender and disarmament of the Youkai Nation's armed forces.
