Dragon Clan Army
From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings
The Dragon Clan Army is a special case in Rokugan. Because the Dragon Clan only have one true bushi family, the Mirumoto family, they only have one army. This has never presented itself as a problem mostly due to the fact that they occupy a very defensible position in the northern mountains of Rokugan as well as never seeking to expand their borders. No invading Rokugani enemy has ever progressed further into the mountains than Shiro Kitsuki. Only the Naga have ever managed to breach the Dragon defenses entirely, not being stopped until they reached the High House of Light itself in 1131-1132.[1]

[edit] Mirumoto Army
The Mirumoto Army is the only army of the Dragon Clan.[1]
[edit] Reputation
Over the centuries, the percieved inactivity of the Dragon Army cause some to view them with a disdainful attitude.[1]
[edit] Tactics
The Dragon Army is largely a defensive army, and over the centuries they have participated in very few large scale offensive battles. It was only during the Clan War that the Dragon Army proved it's worth as an offensive force. Due to the lands they defend the Dragon tend to employ smaller units than their traditional counterparts in the other Rokugani armies. They employ a greater use of scouts and archers also, which patrol their borders and harass any enemies.[1]
[edit] Recent Deployments
The Dragon were commanded by an Imperial Edict to intervene in the War of the Rich Frog between the Unicorn Clan and Lion Clan. The Dragon were unable to make too much headway in seperating the two fighting factions because of the two fronts stretched the single Dragon Army too far.[1]
