Governor of Kyushu - Nosaku Kouki

Respected Office of the State Police.

With the political turmoil on Planet Kyushu declining, with much thanks to your officers, it has been deemed necessary to address some concerns for your space-side departments. It is well known that traditionally the State Police had only patrolled as far as the planet and the lane to New Tokyo. Such was a splendid job; our direct trade routes into the heart of Kusari has for long been secured thanks to your work.

In an attempt to better Kusari, it has been decided that the trade route into the Taus must become secure as well. It has come to my attention that certain lanes, notably the lane from Tsushima to Fukuoka, have been heavily assaulted by bad actors in the region. To remedy this issue it was decided to call in the State Police to handle the defense of Kusari's next greatest expansion. The route into Saga must become secure and it is in my opinion there is no greater department to ask than yours.

There is no immediate rush to fulfill this need. However seeing the paperwork start to move will be pleasing enough. The startings of a deployment plan.


With utmost respect,
Nosaku Kouki
Governor of Kyushu

Governor of Kyushu - Nosaku Kouki

Inspector Fukushima Ayado.

After discussion with the planetary and trade ministers of Kyushu, a preliminary draft has been constructed for me to convey.

At this current time, the State Police patrols from the New Tokyo Gate to Planet Kyushu. The Empire's own navy covers from the planet to Tsushima, utilizing the Nagasaki's presence to station out of. The lane from Tsushima to the Tottori is currently a destination that requires more deliberation regarding the situation in that system and if the Navy should cover such instead.

The trade route from Tsushima to Fukuoka resides as the primary concern. You may, of course, patrol whatever is your standard protocols for securing trade. One report I have read over mentioned that the main issue of this portion of the route is Ohka Dust Field, allowing unseen strikes. If able, patrols of this field may greatly assist in the limitation of these bad actors.

As for how long persuit may occur, we see no reason to restrict the State Police from your own protocols regarding such. Consider yourself unrestricted when it comes to system-wide bi-laws. Should you require to enter Saga for these criminals to persue them, consider permission granted.

For now, the priority is the security of our trade routes. I will admit I am not fully privy to how the State Police operates further from the standard routes, if you believe such would be needed. I would gladly take your analysis of the situation within Kyushu into account, should you be able to share it Inspector.


With utmost respect,
Nosaku Kouki
Governor of Kyushu
