The Head of the Dragon has spoken. In her recent talks with the Gas Miners, Guildmaster Keiji Namura gave the clan clearance to sweep through Okinawa and allowed us to station a strike wing in the system for the purpose of being able to assist the Guild's paramilitary where ever possible.

This is the first task in a series which you will be given, in order to strengthen the relationship between our clan and the Gas Miners Guild. As such, the Nesho'en require at least two fighter pilots to go into the Okinawa, and re-map all relevant objects, taking note of the situation in the system, while keeping a low profile throughout if possible. While according to Namura-san's words the chances of us encountering any form of Kusarian authorities is low, if such a thing is to occur you have permission to terminate them. The same goes for any other mutual enemies ourselves and the guild posses.

The wing performing this task from start to finish will be rewarded for its success accordingly with a hefty sum of fifteen million credits per pilot, plus an extra five per terminated hostile if such an opportunity arises.

That would be all.

Recently I've come in contact with the organization known as the Forlorn Hope. Their leader pointed out that they've previously delivered weaponry to the Shogunate and are on a somewhat neutral stance with the Blood Dragons. While I doubt their previous efforts will be put to any good use, given my lack of trust for the Archangels, a group of mercenaries who are scaled as a fully fledged paramilitary will undoubtedly become useful in the future.

As such, all Forlorn Hope vessels are to be treated as neutral parties as of now, their transports are to be left alone, and they are allowed to enter Chugoku with a warm welcome from our side.

That would be all for this announcement.

The Head of the Dragon has yet another set of orders for us. Guildmaster Namura-san has brought to her attention that a newly born modular installation owned by the Naval Forces rests within the Sigma-21 system. As such, a wing of at least two Bloodhounds should be dispatched to survey the system and make a report on the general situation within it in order to enable the clan to assist the guild by disrupting, or at the least slowing down the stations progress. It is a given that the pair which does stand up to the task will be rewarded with fifteen million credits each, plus five per confirmed destruction of hostile forces should any be encountered during the survey.

That is all for now.
