Thank you for assisting our forces and providing the location of two hostile installations. We have been advised to stay out of the Sigma conflict for now by your GMG| counterparts, once the issues on the southern front are either resolved or escalate to a point where our forces are openly required we are limiting our fleets presence in the system. This of course only extends to the Royal Fleet, the clan forces may be agiler in their approach. On that note, I would like to take this time to inform you that Clan Augus may become a frequent visitor into house space as they using the Sigma's to conduct their business in the Omicrons.
Finally, I would like to bring your attention to the matter of funds. It appears that you may have overlooked sending the most recent installment of your guilds regular donation to our treasury. I would like to clarify if you have stopped providing financial aid to the Dragons cause if you have not then please send the funds as soon as possible to this financial account. BD|Treasury I would advise haste on this matter as a large part of our relationship is based on the guilds financial aid.
Arigato,
Heung Hideyoshi,
Shogunate Treasurer and Representative of Shogun Hideyoshi.
The Guild remains committed to its friendship with the Blood Dragon and thus is glad to provide further reports of unknown installations in Kusari space.
Two fresh bases have been detected, obscured within the Chuyu Cloud in the Honshu system. You may find further details in the attachments below.
We are grateful for the information you have provided, we have learnt that both appear to be Samura affiliated. We are dealing with one of the stations already and will be taking appropriate measures to ensure they are both kept under control.
If you have any further information to provide it could become very valuable to us over the coming days. We will keep you aprised of anything relevant information.
Arigato,
Heung Hideyoshi,
Shogunate Treasurer and Representative of Shogun Hideyoshi.
The Guild must regrettably approach you in its hour of need.
The Federal Republic of Rheinland and Restored Empire of Kusari have now, since the cessation of hostilities between them, turned on the Gas Miners Guild together and appear to be effecting a joint invasion of Sigma-21 system in tandem. Their latest foray involves yet another illegal installation in orbit of Planet Saigon.
Unfortunately, the combined effort of two Houses is causing great difficulty and The Guild is not able to dislodge this installation alone. As time goes on, the invading forces become more and more entrenched and will soon reach such a critical mass that removing this station will prove impossible.
The Guild therefore requests your urgent assistance with its siege of the base in question, so that we may preserve the rightful independence of the Sigma systems and prevent the jewel that is Sigma-21 being stolen by misguided House imperialism.
To: Guildmaster Keiji Namura From: Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki Subject: Assistance
Konbanwa honorable Guildmaster Keiji Namura,
It saddens me to see that the Kusari Forces are in fact working with gaijin that should be removed from our space, and they bring further dishonour to Kusari by helping them fight against you. While even more so, making an illegal station without your knowledge or acceptance on the matter.
We will gladly assist you in removing these gaijin and The Kusari Forces from Sigma-21, I shall get the Fleet ready to move out. It will be ready in approximately 8 hours.
Arigato,
Ashikaga Yoshiaki
Shogun of the Blood Dragon Clans.

Guildmaster,
You will have our full support. I have requested that my brethren begin to rally and prepare themselves for combat. Please forward us any intelligence you might have on hostile fleet composition, we will orchestrate attacks and counterattacks on that basis. And from me personally, you have my deepest sympathy for your position, and my utmost respect for choosing to fight instead of submit.

My forces are mobilizing as we speak. We shall do our best to stop the encroachment of these boorish thugs from the south and their collaborators within the false empire.
This allegiance and their proximity to the Kusari heartlands is as much a threat to us as it is to you.
The Guild today brings you an update on Sigma-21 system.
The Rheinland Military refuses to withdraw and our struggle continues. With your assistance, Tsingtao Station was destroyed in a feat The Guild would simply not have been able to accomplish alone. We are indebted to you.
In its place, a Guild base has been established, initially to cement its claim on the system and later, when the Rheinland Military has been repelled, to act as a base of operations for the development of the system. This installation, Mekong Station, is in orbit of Planet Saigon and is being further fortified by the minute in order to ensure its longevity.
Once our struggle has ended and GMG sovereignty in the Sigma Systems fully re-established, our friends and allies in the Dragons are invited to share in the prosperity a successful colonisation of the Sigma-21 system will bring.
Allow me to introduce myself. I am Yokubo, Master of the Blood Dragon Warriors called Yokai. For many years, the Yokai have been secretly operating around Chugoku, though that has changed in the last few Months. We've decided to step out of the shadows which attracted many new Blood Dragons eager to learn and train in order to become one of us.
My Warriors and I have been striking enemy installations throughout Kusari, but mainly in Hoshu where we successfully destroyed two Samura owned Bases. With the help of our sisters the treacherous scum that is Samura suffered heavy losses.
I am informed about the situation in Sigma-21, although first hand information could be more accurate. The way I see it now, Guildmaster, is that the Guild mustn't back down, no matter the pressure. Rheinland is not to be reckoned with, but then again, neither are we.
I've ordered my Warriors to return back to Kyoto where they can rest and Mito Shipyard where our ships will be repaired. Now what I would ask of you Guildmaster would be supplies, supplies necessary for the repairs of our ships that were unfortunately damaged in the Honshu sieges.
Fuel is also needed, perhaps our sisters would be willing to help us more, we shall see. If you could provide these things Guildmaster, then I will be able to spare a few fighter wings just to help you with your 'situation' in Sigma-21. My Warriors are tired, but if you're in danger the Yokai shall answer your call to aid, you have my word.
As promised I've dispatched a bomber wing to assist you with the Sigma situation. My Warriors, lead by Warriors Senbo, put down a Samura transport in Sigma-15 system. The location of the Samura vessel was Hammersee Moon, the neutralized Samura ship was filled with Optronic Arrays all of which have been destroyed upon transport's elimination.
In Warrior Senbo's report there were no Rheinland Military vessels in Sigma-21 nor 15 which made his patrol way easier. Rest assured if any of the Rheinland Military vessels pop out they will be dealt with same goes for Samura. Out influence in Sigma-21 is yet to be felt but the hostile parties.
Having said that, I would now like to hear from you Guildmaster Namura. I have doubts about you being a busy man, who isn't these days? As I previously mentioned, fuel is of great importance to us therefore I'd like to discuss with you about certain arrangements that could be done regarding its shipments. Lately, the Yokai have been spending an absurd amounts of fuel which can be justified by our increased presence in Honshu and its neighboring systems. Is increased production of fuel something that the Guild can do for us?
