Narrative
The Ryu-Kai were initially introduced as an ally by providing an army of Mercenary Mechs to aid the Player in the fight against the M.A.Y.H.E.M. rogue faction during Operation: Iron March thru Operation: Iron Lord.
However, this cooperation turned out to be fleeting with the Ryu-Kai, lead by Goro Tazaki, finally turning against all former allies in an attempt to gain complete control over all the known sectors during Operation: Dragon's Oath.
