Subject:Dissolution of the KNI
To all Pilots of the Kusari Naval Intelligence Division and its associates.
After careful evaluation by his Imperial Shogun Yamato-san and the Admiralty Circle of the Naval Forces, following the events unfolded several weeks ago within Tohoku and with the constant expansion of the KOI's abilities and manpower in mind, the Kusari Naval Intelligence sub-division attached to the main hierarchy of the Naval Forces since the Republic era will be dissolved effective immediately. Whilst the division proved to be a valuable asset to the Republican Forces as well as the reformed Imperial Navy for many years, its semi-official mode of operation and chaotic deployment in recent times showcased that reformations are urgently required.
All and any KNI assets will be permitted to reintegrate into the standard hierarchy of the Naval Forces with appropriate ranks assigned or join ranks with the soon to be revealed successor division under my personal command. Transfers to the Office of Intelligence will be mediated on a case by case basis and any such inquiries shall be sent to me directly.
