Operation Uebu no Kaimei

I. Situation

On July 7th, 823 A.S, elements of the 1FLT and 5FLT of the Naval forces in addition to detachments of the K.N.I conducted an operation deep into the uncharted Omicron systems in order to destroy a nomad structure that possessed capabilities of generating passages deep into Kusari sovereign space. Communications with the task force sent through the generated portals were strained and lost with the anomaly disappearing, initial analysis implies that the operation was a success and the nomad structure was destroyed. However, Nomad presence and activities within Kusari has increased in the prior 3 months, in addition to the appearance of what seems to be a new type of an advanced nomad vessel in the Shikoku star system which led to doubts regarding the operation's success.

"The battleship was different than the other nomad battleships we have normally
encountered, yet similar to what we had encountered before as Ishtar. Energy
readings indicated a higher level of firepower than the other type of battleship. The
ship was emitting unidentifiable type of radiation foreign to our scanners and
knowledge. Supreme caution is advised."

-'Orochi', Nito Kaisa, 66th.

The 66th Special Expeditionary Division's knowledge of the Omicrons has grown lacking with the recent galactic changes in the said region, which has also led to the decision of conducting an expedition to the Omicrons to chart unknown systems.

This is the Zanza reporting. We have been stranded deep in the hostile systems, after the large engagement with Order battlegroup. Combat had neutralized main porpulsion and comms, so we lost contact with the taskforce. We spend several days repairing the propulsion systems so we could conclude our journey to Core space. We lost 13 servicemen, and have several dozen injured due to the damage. We have arrived at destination and have begun contacts with Core authorities about our case. We asked in the meantime for a line to report back to KNF HQ.

Zanza has suffered moderate damage to structure. Systems took a beating, but have been all brought back into operation.
KNI agents are all accounted for, and have also reque.----

*The Commander is abruptly interrupted by a smaller officer in a characteristically KNI uniform, who boldly steps between the speaker and the camera, in a mix of anger and excitation. *

HEY, what is the big idea you guys not coming to pick us up for so long? Did you forget how boring it is to eat only those military packed rations for weeks? It's Dull, dull, dull. Honestly....

Anyway, good to see you again peeps, Majin here. Our Navy really did a number on that huge blockade group uh? Not that we will ever get to brag about it, considering it's related to a large outpost in the vicinity of Tohoku and all. But oh well, guess there is some hope for us all.

Also, did you see those huge Guns on the Order cruisers? Amazing stuff, I wish I could get my hands on some. But even better than that, these Core mercenaries that are standing guard on their stations have even cooler guns for use. Man, it must be some sophisticated manufacturing in those things. We should totally buy a lot of them. It will do a big number on style points, and firepower, of course!

* Before the officer could digress about yet another fascinating thing, a pair of bridge officers pick her up by the arms and drag her away, revealing again a very irritated Nitto Kaisa. *

Thank you "Agent",... for your unwarranted input. I'll let you use the line later on, now it's my turn I'm afraid.

As you can see, the KNI agents on board are all accounted for, and awaiting the command to proceed with their assignments, as soon as we get an eta of when the rest of the task force will arrive, or the time when we are to depart from the Core holdings. I urge you to inform us as soon as possible, for everyone's sake. * He ends the sentence with a concerned face, doubting the safety of his sanity with such company*

Officer Arima here. It has been a few weeks since we made contact with the Core, and little progress has been made regarding the investigations. On the same pace, we have yet to receive any new instructions from Itto Kaisa Kiyoko Hayashimura or any other source from High Command.

Upon request from the present KNI detachment, we began making light inquiries regarding the new series of incidents in the Omicron Delta system. We have launched the Zanza with the repairs we made so far, and explored the area surrounding the Freeport 11 in question. While not as abundant in traffic as the earlier incidents reported to us some months ago, the area was decently guarded by some forces, namely zoner vessels, and elements of IRG and Auxesia organizations.

Likewise, there was sightings of main Core vessels operating in the area, but their orders and disposition showed no intent towards the zoners. The KNI agents conducted some dialog with the local contacts, and will probably present their conclusions when able.

Next, we set course to the Omicron Kappa system, that the locals referred as to the location of the graveyard of ships we heard about when we first set off for the expedition. Not much has been found so far, other than the presence of a heavy Corsair fortress in the sector. We are currently contacting the zoners in Corinth Research Station for any leads to follow.

While Agent Majin feels the expedition is bearing fruit, I do agree with such opinion. The Zanza was tasked with operations within the intended expeditionary force, and lacking the support of the rest of the group leaves our work severely lacking efficiency, as well as posing a high security risk.
I urgently request that the order to recall to Kusari space be given as soon as possible, so we may not endanger our assets for ghost stories in the wilderness.

Nitto Kaisa,

The task force was able to return back to Kusari space after the ambush in the Omicrons that resulted in the loss of contact with your vessel, K.D.S Zanza.

While I am glad to hear that you, your crew and the agents accompanying you are sound and safe, I'm afraid your return to Kusari space will have to be delayed. 66th Command has received news of a terrorist attack on Freeport 11, allegedly conducted by The Core by an N.E.M.P Bomb. However, we are unable to take any action without proper and valid details to confirm the incident.

Your new directives are simple, Nitto Kaisa Arima. Investigate the situation and find out who has done the attack. Unfortunately, the bulk of the task force is unable to continue with the operation as of yet as we are unable to determine a relatively safe and secure route to the Omicrons. However, you will be reinforced by a couple squadrons and supplies for your operation. We will stay in touch.

Good luck and godspeed.

Hayashimura out.

Captain Hayashimura, your orders have been received. The crisis has indeed taken a turn for the worse, and the KNI has been particularly interested in diving deeper on the subject due to the heavy involvement of the Core, as well as evidence of heavy presence of nomadic infiltrators, both as part of local organizations, and under the guise of house agencies..., possibly including ours.

The Core has been receptive of ours requests for the staging of Naval Forces missions in their territories, and we will be glad to receive some support of our own, bolstering our security while operating in these chaotic regions.
We hope to file a more comprehensive report in the coming days.

We have some important news to transmit to High Command immediately, before a more comprehensive report as expected. Yesterday, during our travel from Omicron Kappa back to Core facilities in Rho, we noted an increase of traffic to Corinth station were we were investigating. In addition to the already known IRG and Auxesia groups encountered in the region, we noted the presence of several units of the Coalition and Order, which until now were not active in the crisis. The intervention of the Nomads and the news of the deployment of weapons of mass destruction must have piqued their active interests.

Furthermore, we have encountered the most unexpected asset in the region, Kusari Battlecruiser KDS-Izu, on assignment to the Kempeitai before their defection, and according to the word of its captain Shizu. The captain showed cooperation and interest in working with us, and escorted us while we made a preliminary survey on the crippled Freeport.

The Izu has been active for several months in the region, and seems to be a good source of additional intel that we hadn't acquired so far. I hope to receive soon an extended report from the captain and its crew, and include it in the next assessment report. Meanwhile, both the Zanza and the Izu will be ported at the Alabama Shipyard, and continue doing surveys of the afflicted systems.

I would like to request a courier shuttle to be sent to our post in Omicron Rho, for the purpose of retrieving several important "packages" back to kusari. I would also like to request KNF high command to provide a verdict on the status of the KDS-Izu, and issue any additional orders if necessary, given the situation.

Majin

Agent Majin here, aboard the Zanza.

Recent days saw the tensions and activity dying down around the Freeport and Omicron Delta, with the zoners rapidly repairing and rebuilding the damaged installation, and entrenching themselves with heavy defenses against any further incursions.
Situation has also calmed down around the Core circles, with news of the Guildmaster Jack Daniels suffering some sort of attack on his person, with eventual recovery. The indication of high ranking Core agents instigating the attacks and going against the Core leadership has sprang some rumours of nomad interference, but were too few and too quickly silenced out for us to act upon them.

I do say however, that the nomad activity is high on this area. The KNF transport that was supposed to take a secured hard copy of our findings these past weeks back to Kusari was attacked by human agents aligned with the Nomads, which we linked to the Aoi Iseijin group. The data was lost with the freighter, and with it a lot of our efforts in uncovering the fate of the operation Kumo taskforce.

With that said, I have decided to report to KNI command that our operations force with withdraw from the Zanza battlegroup, and return to Kusari to pursue other investigations, that are many and as important as the current one. Should the KNF see interest in extending the KNI cooperation in the Delta case, Command will be receptive of any new requests.

Itto Kaisa Hayashimura speaking,

All remaining elements of 66SED, CELL SUZUKI, KISF and 2 DIV from TOKKCOM in the Omicrons are ordered to return to Kusari to reinforce the forces in Kyushu repelling the Nomad incursion. Operation Uebu no Kaimei will be halted until further notice, all reports regarding the progress of the operations are to be archived upon arrival to Kusari space.

That should be all.

Hayashimura out.
