I have to say, excellent field work, and an outstanding action report, keep doing as good as now.
The Golden Chrysanthemum Gunboat was indeed looking for her fallen partner, but if our brave warriors weren't there, I doubt that she was only going for the exchange, our good numbers in presence were enought to avoid a gun confrontation.
About the synth food transport, the Innocentius1, and the second transport, the Timmylo, I'd like to see them in our record of known criminals, and alert all the stations about their actions against the Kusari Empire.
About the Order Cruiser, I think we are not going to see it again, but, just in case that it appears in Kusari again, remember that it has been already warned to don't cross our borders. If it does, then it's upon for destruction.

In another matter, another transport, designated Transport.2, was cought hauling 4,915 units of Counterfeit Software at the Tau 29 gate, in Kyushu. I warned him to drop the cargo for its destruction, but he refused to do so. Due to a ionstorm, I lost contact with the transport, but as soon as I regained control of my ship, I followed it to Tau 23, where I lost radar contact, our patrols reported him in Tau 29 a little after that.

Transport.2 cargo scan

According to what he said, he was supplying the Zoners with that software, so it's possibly that he docked at the Freeport on Tau 29. If this is true, we should contact the zoners, to prevent further situations like this. If they need to get that kind of technology, they have to find another way, as that is considered contraband in Kusari. His name is to be added to our criminal record.

Outcast Tridents on Tau-29.

The Outcasts shipyards must be working hardly lately, so many of those tridents has been roaming around. Fourtanely there are two less of them.

Near the Tau-31 gate, in Tau-29, two of those tridents were attacking a KNF patrol. Aoyagi Ritsuka, was near to assist us, in the process of destroying the menace. Him along with the Bakumatsu, were able to take down both of those ships. Shamely, a KNF destroyer patrol was put out of action by their guns. We resque part of their crew. There was another transport with a callsign similar to one of the gunships, it's possibly that it was working with them, seems it's an outcast group working in the Taus. The callsign used by those ships works like this: Name.GL, More likely Hispanian name.GL.
If a transport with that callsign is found in the Taus, it's our duty to arrest its crew for interrogation.

Pedro.GL destruction
Ciorex destruction

That's all for the moment.

>>> 29/11/817
I don't even know where to begin; failure of epic proportions has crushed my spirit. I started out from stokes with a long-range chase of a privateer pilot "QCP|Josephine.Monson" she eluded me, managing to destroy a kusari ship, and then returned home to new london; all the while, I did not even manage to make scanner contact. On my return to leeds I eventually found a bretonnian police pilot "BPA)Lucy.Silsbury" (hussar) who I should probably have engaged straight away, but I waited for the privateer to return and backup her ally. I realise that was foolish. They asked me to leave the system, since I've been posted there, I felt inclined to disagree. And, being was incensed with what the privateer had done, I waited for them to lose patience and fire was exchanged. I tried to be evasive, and managed to evade a lot of the BPA fire, but i was unable to hit her, so switched my focus to the bomber (challenger?) against which i managed very little hull damage. I tried to escape in the last moments but was cut down on my way to stokes by the privateer. As if all that wasn't bad enough:
I started duty and immediately spoke to Daisa Hiroito, who instructed me to attend to the situation in shikoku, and deal with one "polaris". I recieved further warnings about shikoku from a mercenary as I was travelling.
I reached shikoku to find "[AFA]Sousuke.Patro" engaged in combat with "Sublime" and "Polaris" (falcata).
I approached warily, and seeing that help could probably be used, I attempted to fire on "polaris" as instructed. It appears these criminals have some kind of erratic alien technology, as their contacts jumped randomly on sensors, seeming to jump between space in an instant, and at other times seeming like any other pirate you might fly against. "Sublime" was dispatched by Sousuke, we both then attempted to destroy the falcata.
Eventually, [IG]Tip.of.the.Spear appeared to assess, and all 3 of us seemed to have forced the enemy to flee. As it looked as though things were safe again; Sousuke turned in, the remaining two of us continued to follow polaris, then Tip.Of.The.Spear, left me to finish the pursuit alone.
I expected to simply follow the enemy to the nearest jumphole, and that would be that: but it was not that simple. Polaris disabled my engines during the pursuit, and i was forced to enter combat again.
It looked as though the screamers would give me a chance for a short while, but being unable to track the target properly, my destruction was sudden and brutal. Fire erupted before me, brutal force threw pieces of dash into me, blood welled from countless wounds. As the pod wrapped around me to hurl me toward junyo, I stood on the edge of consciousness, pain tearing through me; I managed to activate the beacon; by sheer act of will, with a little help from some excellent painkillers, I managed to croak a few last words with the enemy, in which they revealed their allegiance to the blood dragons.
I woke in a this med-bay on junyo, where they tell me I have to be a lot more careful, despite some genius cryer surgeons, a girls' body can only take so much repeated damage, apparently. I have failed my Daisa, my family name, and myself; I considered using fathers wakizashi to end it this morning, but I couldn't find the damned thing. I've currently snuck out of the complex to test how many bottles of sake it takes before they have to pump my stomach.

Daii Takahashi, I already told you, there are two sides of the coin, this is not black and white. Your ship can be re built, your honor can be re gained, there is skilled people in the universe, I cannot count how many chimaeras I have lost, but time warrior, time will give you the experience to deal with these pirates. I wish you a quick recovery from your injures.

The Long.John-Silver

The Bakumatsu arrived to Shikoku in order to investigate about this vessel. A report from the IKN-Jintsu indicates that we could be talking about a pirate gunboat. We found the aforementioned ship, near the trade lanes from New Tokyo jump gate to planet Junyo. It didn't show any sign of hostility, in fact, his captain offered to hand over two prisoners, a lane hacker and a Liberty Rogue.

We took the prisoners, and asked the ship to leave the system. They weren't aggresive, but that's not a certain fact that they won't backstab us, or attack innocent Kusarians. However, more information about this ship and its captain would be required. So, hopefully the kemptei are going to help us with this.

The Exxon.Valdez

After dealing with the Long.John-Silver, we picked up a zoner signal in the scanners. We didn't need the scanners anyway, you can't miss a Zoner Juggernaut in space.
Kindly, we approched to the battleship, and demanded to have a chat with its captain, it turned out to be a woman. When I asked her, what was the motive of their visit, they acussed to be escorting a transport of their company.
Indeed, ten seconds later, the transport arrived to our location, a transport by the name of Exxon.Valdez. We asked the captain of the Zoner Juggernaut, to leave Kusari space, according to our Legal Codex. And the kind woman agreed with me, however I promised her to escort the transport to Narita Station.
The transport's captain showed disrespectul behavior toward us, insulting us, calling us dogs. I tried to be polite with him, and told him to cease with that attitude, which seemed to work until we arrived Narita.

Once the transport was safe on the moore at Narita, we left the area, and we left the Bakumatsu stationary at planet New Tokyo. I requested my chimaera to be unlocked, and pick up a rutine patrol from there.
Another transport called for help, the Galleon-Shire, it was surrounded by some low class pirates, which we destroyed.

While returning to planet New Tokyo, we got a distress call from Narita, that the Exxon.Valdez was attacked by a outcast trident. We didn't make it in time to save the transport from being heavily damaged. The captain of the transport was a bit mad at us because of this incident.
It was more than aggresive and offensive toward us, even when we tried to calm him down, he kept insulting us. To the very limit of my patience. Trying to talk with him was pointless, I warned that he will lose docking rights on Kusari if his behavior kept going. He didn't listened, and now his mining operation is going to suffer for it.

Evidence 2.

Evidence 4.

Evidence 10.

The Diah-Rhea_Jones

Coming back to New Tokyo from Shikoku, we found the outcast gunship that destroyed the Exxon.Valdez, callsign Diah-Rhea_Jones. I got help from a farmer yatch and a freelancer by the name of Salem.Jansen, combining forces we took down the trident.

Comm ID: Tanaka Masa

Special Report:

Ensign Tanaka reporting in. After recently being reassigned to resume patrols through the Kyushu system into the Taus, my regular patrol was interrupted due to a Bounty Hunter's Guild and Outcast incursion into Shikoku.

A large number of Naval Forces and close allies were already on scene, attempting to locate the enemies on long-range scans. As per orders incoming from the fleet, I set course and upon arrival witnessed the beginnings of a battle. Immediately engaging, the forces of the Emperor easily dispatched our Outcast foes.

While the formal report on the battle falls to the officer in charge, I must note that it was a glorious victory. Deshima beseiged, but no more stood willing to question our Sovereign claim to all of Kusari space. Let this be a lesson to the bounty hunter who took servants of the Emperor as prisoners!

Resuming my normal patrol revealed nothing of note. It seems that the size of our Naval Forces' intervention in Shikoku may have discouraged the usual scum and villainy elsewhere as well.

Tanaka Out.

~ Kusari Naval Action Report ~(IRP) (AO) - McNeo - 12-02-2009

Start Transmission.

As ordered by the Emperor himself, the Yureigoroshi redeployed from its station in New Tokyo to planet Junyo in Shikoku, stopping to rearm and resupply. We encountered no resistance until we reached Deshima station, to which the Yureigoroshi was greeted by an increasing number of bounty hunters. The numbers rose from one to four, in the same time it took for me to send out calls for reinforcements.

A confrontation seemed likely, the bounty hunters present repeatedly ignoring calls for them to return to neutral space.

The situation momentarily cooled off when more and more Kusari ships rallied to my call, and soon we were both outnumbering and outgunning the defenders. Two destroyers, a few gunboats and a small flotilla of strike craft against four Bounty Hunters, an Orca, a Bottlenose, and two Mantas.

Before the situation was resolved, things got even tenser. Additional reinforcements were recieved on both sides, the Bounty Hunters gaining a bomber whilst we gained yet more ships.

However, seeing the firepower that Kusari was willing to bring to bear to subjugate the area, the Bounty Hunters Guild finally relented. Leaving the area after recieving a final ultimatum from myself, they retreated back into the Independant worlds.

That was the tip of the iceburg.

---------

Shortly afterwards, long range scanners showed a /CS/ fleet massing in Kyushu. We didn't even get to jump to New Tokyo before their location changed to Shikoku, at which point, reconnaisance was immediately ordered. Two ships were sent out to scour each grid sector, as well as landmarks. They slipped through the net, only one of our recon ships getting a glimpse before the retreat was made back to Kyushu.

We were subsequently outmanoevered. I did not predict that they would take the gates through to Shikoku, and stationed the majority of our force at the jump hole to Kyushu in anticipation of a potentially devastating ambush. This however, did not cost us. By now, both Chujo Hiroito and Taisho Sulu had arrived, but delegated command to me due to my knowledge of the situation. Additional reinforcements had also arrived, in the form of a Kusari Battleship, which I ordered to stand by near Deshima station along with the Bakumatsu and one escort fighter. I deemed this sufficient to garrison and hold the space above Deshima from any surprise bounty hunter attacks whilst we hunted the /CS/ threat.

Due to the increase in manpower, and significant deployment of gunboats on our part, I decided that sending out three scouts to again scour each grid sector of Shikoku was acceptable. Our main force held at the jump hole to Kyushu whilst the scouts reported their findings.

One of our scouts sighted the enemy force, in concert with the Orca that we had encountered earlier. It is obvious that they were planning something together, however the haste at which I ordered the advance prevented any of our samurai from recording evidence. I hope my word is enough proof, and I accept any punishment for this oversight.

They began to retreat before our advance, and I decided that it would be prudent to split our force equally to crush them in the middle. However, they came to battle quicker than I thought. Our forces entered the fray in a staggered fashion, but we took no casualties against the four /CS/ ships, a destroyer, a gunboat, a fighter and a bomber. Our samurai fought like birds of prey, striking quick blows at our enemy and overseeing their complete annihilation.

Our forces all redeployed back to Deshima to guard against further attacks.
And so they came on again.

---------

This time the bounty hunters came well prepared for a fight, bringing five bombers to counter our gunboats. I stepped off the Yureigoroshi and into my guard fighter, the Hien, and joined the Kusari forces there. Chujo Hiroito did the same.

After suffering numerous insults by the gaijin bounty hunters, directed towards the Emperor in particular, even in his presence, our patience wore through. Taisho Sulu ordered the attack and we engaged the defensive force with the full force of Kusari.

The bounty hunters managed to inflict medium losses before being overwhelmed. A destroyer and our gunboat flottila fell to enemy fire, whilst the bounty hunter's lack of numbers counted against every loss they took. In the end, out of seven enemies (two appeared as reinforcements), they had lost four of their number, three bombers and one gunship, whilst we suffered the disabling of a destroyer and an array of gunboats, notably including the ship that Taisho Sulu was present on. The three enemy ships that escaped all made combat docks with Deshima station.

I assume that the Bounty Hunters are making efforts to entrench their position and buy time for the relocation of more of their forces from other areas of Sirius. If they truely wish to hold Deshima, that is what I would do in their place. Of course, in their place, I'd file for a law suit, but that is their decision.

To my knowledge, the space around Deshima is secure for now.

---------


I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to those who fought as part of the battlegroup deployed against the first incursion of the Bounty Hunters and the subsequent /CS/ encounter. Discipline, organisation, attention to orders and skill were all present, even under the highly confusing situation of multiple ship movements. It makes me truely proud to be a soldier of Kusari to serve alongside such people. The following are truely citizens of Kusari, and are unmatched in all aspects of their conduct.

[Image: participants.png]

Kampai, honourable warriors of Kusari.

Addendum: Later, the Farmers Alliance claimed that they do not want to get involved further than their assistance so far, as they tout this as a military matter. This is their choice. They did however pledge to hunt down any bounty hunters found further north than Deshima station.

Begin Mission Report:

Daii Tanaka Masa, reporting in. Temporary reassignment to Battleship Myoko for new duty: border patrol. En route to Myoko I detected an automated emergency signal in the New Tokyo system broadcasting from comm ID Itakura.Ayane; reported oxygen levels dangerously low. All of my attempts to contact the ship failed.

While unable to detect the ship on my short-range scanners, the automated signal broadcast map coordinates; however, as much as I travelled immediately to offer assistance there was no ship at the broadcast location. I fear I could find no trace of the ship, and could do no more, thus I notified the KSP authorities at Roppongi that I would be able to assist them no longer, and the KSP took over investigation.

Arriving at Myoko to rest and refuel, initial patrols of the Kusari / Liberty border revealed no items of note, with only minor trading activity detected. Finishing the patrol, I returned to Myoko only to detect a Kiretsu signal near Deshima. Unfortunately, the ship, [Kirestsu]-Keisotsu escaped long before I could enquire as to its purpose.

Tanaka out.

Subject: Patrol report #2


Konnichiwa.

Around noon, I was scrambled to assist our reserve forces fighting Blood Dragons in Hokkaido. I only found drifting debris of Dragon vessels as soon as I got there from New Tokyo. Upon my arrival to the assembly area located about 20 clicks from Sapporo, the ships present filled me in on the situation. Shoji Yakatanabe explained that the Blood Dragon vessels with a Liberty Rogue aiding them were blocking New Tokyo at first, then fled to Hokkaido with the Imperial Navy after them. The traitors stopped at Ainu to resupply and mount a defence against the Emperor's men, which was rendered unsuccessful with the superior fighting force of the Imperial fleet. The fleet, led by the IKN-Tawaramoto managed to fend off the Dragon bomber assault without loosing a single ship. Yakatanabe-san also informed me of the exact kills our ships scored, but sadly I don't have that recorded.

During the report, a Daumann mining vessel, the Aiolante reported sightings of SCRA terrorists in Honshu, he unfortunatley couldn't get a clear reading. I briefed the fleet on the situation and authorised them to commence repairs while on Yokohama, while setting the assembly point to Shinagawa station. I found the Aiolante near Shinagawa, the mining vessel was still intact. While the our fleet was being repaired, I tried obtaining more information regarding the terrorists' armament. The miner was unaware of specifics, but he did report a Harvester vessel also present in their company. I told the miner to stay back while our fleet was going to handle the enemy, but all of a sudden, my engines started malfunctioning. I gave command back to the commander onboard the Tawaramoto and summoned a lifter to take my vessel in for repairs.

The victorious fleet.
En route to the assembly point.
At the meeting point.

Getting my engine back to action took about 20 minutes. The Naval Fleet was gone by the time I left Shinagawa. More civilians were gathering at the area and they reported that the SCRA forces have moved to Tokyo, between the Honshu-Shinagawa lane. I told the civilians passing around the area not to move torwards the Jump Gate while I attempted to contact reinforcements to deal with the terrorist threat. They started closing in, I got a visual on a ship registered to Stenka Razin first, followed by the CPW-Social Credit and Harvester 74, a Harvester gunboat. Upon the arrival of Aoyagi Ritsuka and noticing that the Coalition forces were distracted by something else (NovaPG ships if I recall correctly), we took the occasion to evaquate the area of civilians headed torwards Honshu. A Colonial Remnant convoy soon arriving agreed to provide protection for the extraction of civilians, according to feedback of the Aiolante, the operation was successful.

Civilian traffic.
First visual contact.
More hostiles approaching.
Successful evacuation of civilian entities.

As soon as the civilians were secure, me and Aoyagi-san started off to check if the lane was clear, we didn't have to go far to notice that the terrorists were still present. Noticing our presence, a Mandalorian Mercenary, Petr Diordienko approached me, claiming that there was a bounty on me which was worth claiming. He attempted to destroy my ship, but I quickly took him out with well-placed Nuclear mine. In the meantime, the SCRA vessels started pulling out, it was too risky to follow them without sufficient reinforcements, so I decided our only option was to make sure they get out of Kusari without offering hardship.

SCRA forces in sight.
The Mandalorian attacking.
The Mandalorian attacking #2.
Target destroyed.

Me and Aoyagi-san proceeded to Honshu, but we lost track of them as soon as the system jump was complete. We did a short search for them, but they were gone. As soon as I was about to call the search off, they hailed us on system comms, starting to argue about the fact that I repeatedly called them "terrorists". That led us to restart the search, fortunately with help incoming. The Kanadzuchi, the Sakabatou from Katana wing and a gunboat, the DragonTail from Unit 6 arrived to aid us in our search. Following a sparking communism versus Empire political debate, we eventually located the Coalition army, right near Yukawa shipyard.

The argument soon turned into an open firefight, the confronting sides started shooting at each other. The CPW-Social Credit was our first target, since it was the ship that obviously posed the biggest danger. We kept the ship under heavy fire and brought it down, Aoyagi-san's SNAC managed to bring the ship to its knees. While the rest of my wing started attacking the other gunboat, Harvester 74, I was trying to keep the fighters off our bomber wing. I picked Gabriel Mao and kept on the fighter's rear not once managing to drain its shields down, until we somehow ended up performing the joust manouver and the enemy managed to bring Aoyagi-san's ship down. As soon as the Harvester was destroyed, our main aim was to prevent the DragonTail from suffering the same fate as the other gunboats did, seeing that all the Coalition fighters started swarming our gunboat at the same time. Two of the SCRA, Stenka Razin was shot down and Viktor Heinz was taken in by the DragonTail's explosion, but we eventually did loose our heavy support. Hiroito-sama ordered us all afterwards to focus on Mao's ship, we brought the ship down successfully.

The Sakabatou bomber was afterwards heavily damaged and had to withdraw. Me and the Kanadzuchi was left alone against three of the Coalition ships, the enemy focused fire on my vessel while we tried to take Alexandra Volkova down, who was destroyed only moments after I went down. Yes, I eventually lost my ship and had to eject. Yukawa tractored my pod in successfully and I managed to get away with a scar. Hopefully, I can resume my duties as soon as possible.

The Social Credit under fire.

Begin Patrol Report:

Surveillance of the border areas of Kepler/Shikoku/Galileo revealed little activity of note. Except for the occasional batch of traders the skies were mostly empty - so I thought.

Shortly after encountering a Kishiro transport moving through Kepler I was accosted by a number of ill-equipped Lane Hacker ships near the Shikoku gate. After easily dispatching of these nameless foes, I returned to patrol via Shikoku as my long range sensors indicated increased levels of activity.

Upon my arrival at Deshima station I noted the ship Raiyushi, apparently departing the station. IFF code showed a Lane Hacker ID, and so I moved to intercept - enquiring as to the ship's purpose in Kusari space. Immediately the Hacker ran, and I followed so as to drive the troublemaker out of our space. Contact was lost somewhere in the Galileo system.

I would not normally note the presence of just any unknown ship without even having evidence of misconduct, but given the situation regarding Deshima station of late, I though it best to thouroughly log all activity.

I have returned to Myoko.

Continuing with Okanaya's report. After she lost her Chiamera, there were still three SCRA and the blood dragon, against Kanadzuchi.
Our Daisa, took down one of the communists, Alexandra Volkova. After that, there were still 3 enemies against him. But, another Naval officer came to assist him, Torukojin. And with him the KNS-Shimanto, a Kusari gunboat. A GC bomber showed up in the place, and it was put out of action by a missfire with the blood dragon.
The Shimanto couldn't take more damage from the communists, and it was heavyly damaged. Leaving the fight 3 against 2, but Kanadzuchi took down another SCRA ship, and making it two against two.
But the Blood Dragon saw the true in the end, and he attacked the last communist.
Although, that pilot was not an easy one, and took down the dragon. Torukojin, was forced to retreat from the battle. And I had to leave Yakawa's bridge.
I have no information what happened with Daisa Kanadzuchi and the last SCRA pilot. We trust in his skills however.

Subject: Patrol report #3


Konnichiwa,

I begun my patrol with taking off from Yukawa, my ship was stationed there for repairs. I announced my arrival in hopes of meeting up with a commanding officer, but instead of finding a sensei, I recieved unknown transmissions from ships that were later identified as Nova Power Generation fighter crafts, located directly above New Tokyo. I didn't have to search too much, I immediately stumbled upon Katamite and Juntoku Genji, harassing a foreigner called Dan Bundy. I told the Dragons to stop threathening the foreigner and leave off, but instead of complying, they opened fire at the vessel.

Quickly, Chūjō Hajime Hiroito arrived to take charge of the operation. He ordered Bundy to leave the area so that the Naval Forces can deal with the situation. As soon as the foreigner left, Hiroito sensei also ordered the Dragons to vacate the area, but they weren't willing to do so until Hiroito-sama released a Blood Dragon captive he had on board. The Dragons opened fire, we were ordered to retaliate. Our priority target was the Katamite, but it was not the easiest thing to hit him, seeing that the opposing ships kept my vessel under fire. However, our brief firefight was soon interrupted.

Ordering the NovaPG ships to disperse.
The firefight that followed.

The KNS Kataki, a Naval Forces gunboat arrived to the scenario. At first, I thought it was here to assist us, but as soon as I could get a closer look at the vessel, I realised that not only was the gunboat outdated in design and registration codes, it also had weird, organic mutation-like things placed on it, which later turned out to be deadly turrets most probably of alien origin. The Kataki opened fire at our gunboat, the IKN Jintsu, which was so far standing by with charged guns, awaiting the Chūjō's orders to engage. Realising the fact that our gunboat would stand no chance against the alien armament of the Kataki, we were told to switch targets and fire at the rogue gunboat in order to prevent the Jintsu's loss. The Blood Dragon vessels thought that the Kataki gunboat was here to assist us and they switched targets to bring down the gunboat too, I don't believe it ever occoured to them that the rebel ship belonged to the rumoured "organisation", the Aoi Iseijin. The fact that two alien vessels soon arrived right above the Kusarian capital pretty much supports my anticipations.

The Kataki and its escort arriving.

Regardless, reinforcements kept pulling in on all sides. My sensors read that the two alien ships that arrived were designated as "Ishkur" and "Qingu", probably temporary names assigned by my flight computer. A Golden C. vessel, registered under the name of Amy Masako also entered the fight, but she was covering the Kataki for some reason by shooting at our ships. The Imperial reinforcements however, were more remarkable. The Magellan, an unarmored destroyer arrived to give us backup, but was soon chased off by the concentrated fire of both the aliens and the Blood Dragons. Toko Oyashio, a Police officer and Aoyagi Ritsuka also came to assist, I honestly don't know how or when they left the fight. After loosing the Magellan, the Jintsu also took heavy damage and had to dock. We still kept our fire at the Kataki, the renegate gunboat was successfully destroyed.

The Kataki under fire.
The Kataki under fire #2.
The Kataki under fire #3.
My vessel under fire.
The Kataki destroyed.

The destruction of the Kataki seemed to have forced the alien forces into disarray. We kept our fire at the larger alien... thing, it started to flee with throwing mine-like energy orbs at us, fortunately our cruise disruptors had an effect on them aswell, a lucky shot made the alien blow itself up. While we were shooting at the smaller and really agile alien, Amy Masako was also taken down by Hiroito-sama. Even though we couldn't really cause any damage to the fast alien ship, it fled the area. We were better off with not pursuing, we were left alone with Hiroito-sama against the two Blood Dragons. We both picked one target, Katamite fought Hiroito sensei and I took on Juntoku Genji. My opponent was skilled, the Blood Dragon warriors are worthy of their reputation regarding flying tallent. I managed to scratch the Katana's hull a few times, but my opponent had the upper hand.

The dogfight went on for about twenty minutes, I still had it going when Genji hit my flight stabilizers. The ship was then not only hard to control, but the fire spread to my engines, taking my drives offline. I had to eject before my ship was destroyed. The DragonTail gunboat from the 6th Squadron picked my pod up, I got away uninjured.
