Shogunate,

Konnichiwa. You may not know me, but I know of your organization. I am known as Yorha.

A friend of mine brought this to the attention of Clan Augus, but since then she has not heard high or low from Daimyo Sakurai Augus after she said she'd bring this to the Shogunate's attention. Ergo, I'm forwarding you the vital parts of her message.

Contained within this message is information that proves the dishonorable acts of the Order through attacking a Zoner installation, that as much as Golanski would blare was constructed by the Core - Was made for the purpose of trade and as a token of peace following the death and destruction that resulted from war betwixt the Populace of Freeport 11 and The Core, under then Guildmaster Erik Nodtviet.

As you can see, the Order has not only attacked the populace of Freeport 11 and Port Carthage, who did nothing wrong other than trying to end a war on terms to ensure that such a conflict does not resume again - But has also threatened the lives of every denizen of every freeport within the range of the Order's Primary Fleet. I think we can at least both agree that these acts are most dishonorable.

Furthermore, since I'll assume that Golanski will say the Zoners used a NEMP on the Order-Corsair joint fleet that assaulted Port Carthage - I have information from the Apahanta, a Independent Mako-class Battleship, which recorded the footage of the final minutes of the conflict, verifying that it was not Zoners that launched the NEMP, but a Mercenary group known as Forlorn Hope - which as far as I am aware, was not contracted by the CoF or then-administrator Kyu Akibara.

Do with this as you will, but be forwarned - The Order has many within their ranks that are defiant of Golanski, and for good reason. The man has twisted the Order into a Megalomaniacal organization, not interested in defending mankind from the Nomads as much as it is protecting its ego from the radically capitalistic idiots in the Core, as it's been evidenced in the many Nomad attacks over the months that the Order (or even the Core for that matter, half the time), has not made any attempts to aid Freeport 11 in its' defense outside of a select few times, yet I've seen and heard they've been engaged actively with the Core outside of Delta. There will come a time when this will reflect their relationship with you - so I would suggest having alternative plans if and when relations with the Order fall through, of which - Given Michal's short temper, will probably start to come to be with asking him questions.

Finally, I am not your enemy. If anything, we share similar interests in regards to Kusari. I wish only the best for the revolutionaries here in my homeland, of which, me and my contemporaries have been exiled from. Here is hoping that someday, I can help you build a bridge to a greater future for Kusari.

Konbanwa, Yorha,

Daimyo Augus is in touch.
It is true that at some point, Augus have been overlooking the status of The Order as an trustworthy ally. It is true that at some point Augus have even started to search for alternative supporters in Tohoku to oppose the darkness breeding in the Tekagi's Arc.
However, this decision have never gotten further the Clan Council, where it had to be decided pre-emptively before we even bother The Shogun with any affairs regarding this question.
Augus Clan, however, came to a conclusion that we should not attend external politics of the Omicrons that much, not only my Clan, but The Shogunate as a whole would barely benefit from such decision. Moreover, The Order and The Blood Dragons are connected with each by decades of fighting the mutual enemy, that have resigned on Tekagi's Arc for as much as i remember myself, and our collaboration in all spheres have been constantly extending. Ins and outs, however, i believe to be beyond your responsibility either jurisdiction to possess.

Moreover, in your words i see means that would serve as the direct provocation for The Order person to consider such stance towards the Freeport 11 as sufficient; it have always been... a pretty 'unlucky' Freeport to deal with, laying in the border of interests of The Core and The Order - those two factions was not too fond of each other and, above that - they are still not too fond of each other, and Zoners should've sticked to their usual attitude and maintain neutrality, and herebly ask both of them to solve their conflicts at the designated distance from the Freeport - 10 clicks, which extends the range of the most long-ranged antimatter artillery armament enough to keep the Freeport safe.
Instead of that, the illegal installation was created, and The Core was invited to use the Freeport as the base for operations and the resupplement point; this rule is still intact, as far as i am aware. So, to put it blunt...
... you were observing internal chaos caused by the breaking of Zoner neutrality and direct provocation of The Order forces for proper retaliation.
While i personally do not approve the actions of either sides within the Delta space and active involvement of the Zoner installation, as well as other Zoner installations in the reach of Order Overwatch primary fleet - we can not just turn down all the progress we have made in relationships with The Order due to some external conflict that have never directly involved Blood Dragons.
Not to mention that, in case we would turn Order down and start negotiating with The Core - they would not provide us that level of support Order have maintained on their behalf, not to mention their short-fused High Command, that apparently changes their opinion more often than changes the weather on Tomioka.
The politics has no place for personal emotions, as well as decisions that would lead my Clan and The Shogunate to less beneficial cooperation that we have at our hands now. The Order status in The Shogunate will not be overlooked, however, we are once again grateful for your warning. We will make sure not to commit the mistakes previous Freeport 11 administrators committed.
I have no desire to see this question brought up towards The Shogunate ever again, as i have given you the clear answer and explained my standpoint.
I hope i have made myself clear enogh.

Daimyo. Let me explain two things to you -

1. The situation in Delta in regards to Collaboration with the Core is out of necessity more than anything else. Unlike other freeports, 11 is in a active combat zone, which, furthermore is home to the de jure capital of the Core. The installation has been around for many years and has had to deal with this for quite some time. The administration right now, as I have close ties to Miss Hanamura - tolerates the Core, and if she had the ability to do so without the repercussions of such rearing its' ugly head on her - return to total neutrality. Frankly, I think the installation should be scuttled. Too many lives have been lost because of the damned thing, and honestly, a active battlefield is no place for a civilian installation.

2. I am not saying siding with the Core is suitable for the Dragons. They're a bunch of idiots who think the Slomon K'hara can be tamed and put in a zoo or experimented on. They're a scourge to the Sirius sector and need to be purged along with the Core.

Finally, Like I said before. Do with this information what you, your fellow daimyos and, if it comes across his desk, the Shogun - will. The choice of the Dragons' future is yours and yours alone, not mine.

Konnichiwa, Yorha

I appreciate you taking the time to reach out to me and providing the evidence that you have, firstly, without doubt or further question The Shogun supports the Overwatch and their siege of Port Carthage as far as we are concerned the moment the administrator of the Freeport accepted military and logistical support from The Core all neutrality went out the window, to be frank, the Shogun is concerned that when neutrality was broken, the Zoners of Freeport 11 choose to throw their lot in with The Core instead of the Shogunate or their allies.

I have had reports on encounters with the Forlorn before, I had even issued permission to Kijima clan to shoot down and Forlorn Capital vessels that enter Shogunate space. Until receipt of this message, I considered them a threat and a nuisance but from your cam feed, I can see that this mercenary group not only possesses powerful weaponry but that they also only fired upon the Corsairs and not our ally the Order. Which essentially means we now have less child eating cannibals to worry about. Perhaps I shouldn't have so hastily evicted them from Shogunate space if we share such an enemy.

This does concern me, this isn't the only report that has come across my desk that suggests unrest within the Overwatch. What evidence or information could you share about these defectors, ideally ship names, their allegiances, and their motives. We would need to weigh up both sides before being able to even comprehend the gravity of the situation.

Finally, although you say you aren't, you very well may be our enemy. Zoners survive through being neutral, allowing the Core to build an installation around your Freeport is not an act of neutrality. If you wish to remain a friend of the Shogunate you will have to either return to a state of full neutrality and no longer pander to the will of the core or drop your neutrality in favour of siding The Shogunate and our Allies. I'm not asking you to ally with us and turn on the Core but I'm certain that it would be an option. If Freeport 11 was to adopt either of the two standpoints we will be able to resume a friendly and cooperative relationship.

Arigato,
Heung Hideyoshi,
Shogunate Treasurer and Representative of Shogun Hideyoshi.

Shogun and Representative Hideyoshi,

I see and understand you have dislike for the Core - one me and Hanamura both share with you regarding them. We personally both have disdain for the Order and Core, the Order as a result of the threats against the freeports and Golanski's general unfavorable behavior in recent years - I would like to be clear about this - We have no qualms with the Order as an organization - We hold qualms with Golanski and those in Overwatch that back him directly for what he's done to the organization. Whereas with The Core due to their totalitarian and radically capitalistic approach to the Nomads, not to mention Enma Loyola being a sad excuse for a infectee, what with signs of her leaving the Core to Gallia and doing god knows what else as of late. We personally have no qualms with the Blood Dragons - in fact, with Hanamura's criminal record in Kusari as a result of her resistance against the Kusari state, she if anything, would benefit from collaboration with the Dragons in the future.

Like I have stated prior, if it were not for the fact that - if we were to forgo the unfortunate relationship we have with the Core - We would be exposed to Nomad attacks and possibly retaliation from the Core, we'd be more than willing to have Freeport 11 return to a neutral state. However, Like I've said before, there's not much that can be done due to our particular situation, unless we want to go the way of either Freeport 2 or Freeport 4.

As a final note, Hanamura is preparing to transition out of administration, however, she has informed me that she is considering having the Freeport cut favorable ties with the Core so that we can try and get what the people of that station want - To be left the goddamn hell alone.

Konnichiwa, Yorha

It does seem like the Freeport administration had a hard decision to make, I can understand why you would have had to side with the Core and it seems that you also understand why we can not befriend a supporter of an enemy.

From a diplomatic standpoint, the Shogunate is happy to hear that Hanamura is considering cutting ties with the core, however considering the Freeports location I doubt the zoners there will ever be left "the goddamn hell alone" although it might not be appealing the surrounding systems are resource-rich, what is stopping the Zoners from exploiting the natural resources in order to build a Freeport 11 defensive fleet?

Having militant zoners well armed and well funded wouldn't only provide protection from nomad forces but also serve as a deterrent from any forces, be it Core or Order that attempt to threaten the station's neutrality and autonomy. As for your disliking of the Grand Admiral, this isn't the first case we have heard against him, should you come across any further evidence to suggest that he is either corrupt or unfit I would like to see the information as soon as possible.

Arigato,
Heung Hideyoshi,

Shogun and Representative Hideyoshi,

It's good to know we're mostly in agreement. Sadly, the situation in Delta is no longer in our hands as Hanamura had to depart sooner than expected. That combined with the fact that it likely wouldn't go over well with Core HIGHCOM to tell them off and that we'd have another Nodtviet NEMP incident on our hands most likely if the solar winds were to blow in the right direction, as it were. Rest assured, that now that she has abdicated her position, that we both will soon be committed to expunging the Core's grasp over the region, however it will not be for some time, as we do need to make revisions to our vessel that will take some time.

I do agree that Militarizing the CoF into a self-defense force would be suitable, but as far as I am aware, it has been done in the past to.. less than favorable results.

As for any evidence I may have against him, I do have my contacts throughout Sirius who can aid me in finding some things pertaining to this. I will check in with them and see what comes up.
