War of the Nine Clans

By Torii Studios

Shogunate of the Stars: War of the Nine Clans

A cinematic space-opera campaign of honour, betrayal and warframes

Nine clans. One empire. A war ignited from within.

The Shogunate has ruled the stars for generations, bound by ritual, honour and ancient law.
Now the Shogun lies silent, the clans turn on one another, and a hidden enemy feeds the flames.

War of the Nine Clans is a full epic campaign for 5e that blends samurai drama, political intrigue and cinematic sci-fi action. It is designed for groups who want meaningful choices, rival factions, mecha duels and starship battles that feel big, fast and emotionally charged.

What This Campaign Is

This is not a dungeon crawl in space.
This is a three-act saga where player decisions reshape the fate of an empire.

You will:

Defend orbital academies under sudden bombardment

Fight ritual duels before entire clans

Navigate councils on the brink of civil war

Pilot warframes in decisive battles

Choose whether unity, tyranny or collapse defines the future

Honour matters. Reputation matters. How you win matters.

Inside the Book

A complete, table-ready campaign spanning levels 3-12+, including:

12 cinematic encounters across three escalating acts

A living political conflict between nine distinct clans

Clear GM guidance, scaling tables and fail-forward outcomes

Narrative-first warframe and starship rules that slot cleanly into 5e

Moral dilemmas, faction consequences and branching futures

Every chapter is written to be run, not just read.

The Nine Clans

Each clan is a culture, not just a banner.

You will encounter:

Phoenix champions who duel for honour and spectacle

Iron commanders who hold the line at any cost

Foundry engineers building unity machines that may doom everyone

Peace envoys fighting to stop war with words alone

Shadow operatives who decide what truths survive

Storm aces who thrive in chaos

Celestial monks who read prophecy in data and stars

Dragon ascetics guarding ancient power

Void Riders who know what waits beyond the map

Your players can belong to different clans.
That tension is the point.

Cinematic Mecha & Space Combat

Warframes are not crunchy subsystems.
They are fast, dramatic extensions of your characters.

Agile duelists, armoured juggernauts and mystic support frames

Narrative-driven upgrades and clan-specific tech

Starship encounters built for teamwork and spectacle

Battles that resolve in minutes, not hours

Think anime pacing with tabletop clarity.
