It has been over fifty years since the events which led to the restoration of the Jurai royal family to the throne following the interim dictatorship of the person known today only as The Pretender. In all that time, public knowledge of those events has been based almost exclusively on a television documentary issued shortly after the fact, popularly known as "The Tenchi Universe." This documentary was based primarily on police reports filed by then Galaxy Police Detective (First Class) Mihoshi.
Unfortunately with the passage of time it has become increasingly evident that although she was a direct participant in the events, Detective Mihoshi introduced a number of major inaccuracies, apparently inadvertantly. In addition, many important factors contributing to the situation were omitted. Worst of all, the reports were written on a tight deadline, with the result that her account of the events following the restoration were sparsely dealt with, with many issues left unresolved.
This report, when completed, will ultimately seek to correct the historical record once and for all, and is based on extensive interviews with the surviving participants, most of whom remain in good health. Once it is approved for declassification the public will be able to read, for the first time, the true story of the events as they unfolded. This first preliminary report deals with the final days only, as they suffered the most from Detective Mihoshi’s inaccuracies. Later reports will cover the remaining time periods applying to these events.
As is currently customary with historical reports of this nature, the usual narrative format has been employed, rather than the dry factual recitation which was the practice in Detective Mihoshi’s original reports.
