Dear Daimyo Kijima,

Recently, Bretonia has come under attack by the Nomads and their Das Wilde infected subordinates. I'm writing to you today as the SIS is currently in the planning stages of a retaliatory strike against the alien forces, most likely to take place in the Omegas or Omicrons. Our plan is to keep them under pressure for the next few days as we cannot allow them to keep Bretonian citizens living under fear.

As such, I need to ask if it would be possible for you to mobilise a surgical strike against the Kusari Wild known as the Aoi Iseijin within the next few days. If we can launch a strike against them concurrently, it may just be able to keep their forces at disarray for some time and relieve the pressure on our front. I take it you have a more clear picture regarding the Aoi Iseijin's operations inside Kusari so I trust that you will pick the appropriate targets if you are willing and able to assemble your fighters.

Please reply at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,
Adrienne Perry,
Secret Intelligence Service, Bretonia

Greetings Adrienne Perry,

We will be launching a raid and recon shortly, I will be sending a detachment of at least 3 fighters to raid and recon the local hostile system or if we can muster a full complement we will be sending 5 fighters and other support. Should our fighters give the us the all clear they will launch a small silo of experimental torpedoes at a structure that resides in the system, we have seen a lot of activity around this and are unsure if its KNF or Wild, either way some structural damage won't do us any harm.

Our science teams are divided on how effective our torpedoes will be with some suggesting that they will be zero % effective, whilst some claim the target will crumble on the first round. I guess we will find out if we get the chance to deploy our larger support vessels.

I may need a few things in exchange for this assistance, primarily I am worried about losing my pilots to infection rather than losing their ships. Can you provide any protective gear to help increase the success rate of their escape pods before we launch our attack?

I could also do with your assistance, you see there has been some fighting amongst my ranks, Tear vs Tear... This is totally unheard of before and I cannot identify the cause. I don't think we need to prioritise this but I would be very appreciative of your assistance if you could help me uncover the cause of this unrest.

Regards,
Daimyo Kijima

Greetings Adrienne Perry,

I have some rather distressing news, we received intel that the Wild were building a large space station within the same cloud as an existing dragons base and we had to respond immediately and without protection from infection, luckily all ships stayed in formation and we suffered 0 losses.

Our initial recon proved this intel to be, in part correct. The wild did indeed build an installation but it was a relatively crude outpost. It lacked weapons platforms but its hull left our bomber torpedoes completely ineffective, instead, the station was brought down by capital mortar fire. We think this may have been due to some external dust in cloud colliding with our torpedoes before they landed on the target station, well that's the only theory we have right now.

We came across multiple Wild pilots attempting to defend the outpost but they seemed disconnected and less organised than what we have seen before in the past. They lacked the ability or will to communicate with us, it's safe to say that these were not the "elite" of the Wild.

During the battle, one of my pilots managed to complete a structural scan of the station, Please see the attached Architectural blueprint they managed to pull. The outpost was relatively complex, I apologise for only being able to obtain the basic structural components but I hope that this shared intel will assist you in some way.

Regards,
Daimyo Kijima
