subject: Patrol report

An outcast cruiser was detected flying trough Shikoku and New Tokyo, Chikuma finally caught up with it in Honshu and made short work of it:

Chikuma headed to planet Honshu and right there another Outcast cruiser-class ship! This time a destroyer.

Even though the Chikuma didn't suffer any damage in those to encounter it had to proceed to Yukawa at once to cool and repair the overheated guns.

Reporting good results from our last Tau engagement and homeland defense as well.
The destroyer HMS-Polaris has been destroyed in our last assault on Dundee, lost few fighters and bombers in the process but inflicted an expensive hit to enemy fleet.

A strange Blood Dragon Battleship, Hogosya*Ryuu, with Blood Dragon transponder has been spotted near Kyushu skies.
While it is still to be cleared why the Dragons should sympathize with the Hogosha and how could a Dragon battleship captain expose one of the few battleships available to their cause to such a danger like flying without heavy escort in a space region fully guarded by the Naval Forces.
Our mixed fleet of two destroyers, one gunboat and bomber escort quickly and easily dealt with the threat. No losses.
A gaijin fool trader named Davion_Quintaine was clearly supporting the Dragons and while peacefully cruising back and forth right in front of our mighty fleet he was keeping at insulting our honor repeatedly.
As most gaijins, he probably wasn't realizing he was risking his life as insulting a samurai's honor is a serius crime in Kusari and it is paid in blood, without any appeal.
The scene made our officers laugh out loud and we had mercy.

Sensors recordings available here.
My ship was hit during Dundee battle and systems were damaged, some transponders are missing.

During patrol in the Hokkaido system I encountered a Liberty Navy ship "on visit" as he putted it. After some communication he landed on Sapporo and has his logs erased for sensitive information, he then left kusari as ordered.

Just as this was finished 2 cardamine influenced girls came into range and were engaged by me. First one of them had to eject from her exploding ship:



and after a while also the other:



At this point Foo-san of the Hogosha came into range, the same did a Blood Dragon bomber. I asked Foo-san to hold fire and engaged the Dragon myself. The fight was going well, but then long range sensores picked another Blood Dragons entering the system and Foo-san decided to engage. While he kept Dragon's shield down my Supernova connected on this bomber as well:



This apparently discouraged the incomming dragon as he turned around and flew back to chugoku.

Reporting successful result.
The Nagato was contacted by two Naval Forces vessels while orbiting New Tokyo Planet and was escorted to Yokohama Shipyard,
where the commanding officer has been taken into custody for further investigations.

The mission ended without much problems, the Nagato followed us to Yokohama without making particular resistance.

I launched from the Sado and cruised to Shinagawa, but it was too late.
Daii Hoaxley was not responding to communications anymore and I could not do nothing except attempting to revenge him in a not-so smart engagement,
which resulted in the loss of a Catamaran bomber.
At least I have seriously damaged one of the Chrysantemums assailants, Enya Shinkaku, but I was not able to finish the work.
A lucky shot of Kiretsu Keisotsu's Supernova forced me to eject my already badly damaged Catamaran.
Daii Hoaxley is safe with me at Shinagawa medical bay amd waiting to be transferred to a Naval Forces base.
Sensors recordings available, see attachment.

As attachment to this report I am also sending some sensors recordings about a Zoner vessel,
named 'DawnrazorROU' that I spotted few time ago carrying engine components toward the Tau sector, unaware of current restrictions.
He was informed on the local laws and pointed to the right office in order to obtain a license.

During today patrol the Sokaku had several encounters.

While travelling from Shikoku to New Tokyo our scanners was revealing a considerable amount of syntetic marjuana inside a civillian trader cargo hold.
The 'stoned' trader then proceeded jumping to Shikoku completely ingnoring two orders to stop for scan
and managed to land on Junyo planet while being chased by the Sokaku at visual range.
Maybe stoned but smart, he undocked with prisoners.
Eventually not smart enough to know that the word of Naval Officer is unquestionable.
He was then asked to pay the rightous fine and forced to sell the cargo,
as he told he would have needed to do so in order to pay the fine (1M asked), a discount was however applied (700.000 paid).
He was also informed where to find Kusari laws and warned not to mess with it a second time.

During Sokaku stationary orbit around New Tokyo planet a vessel identified as 'Archivas' a civillian trader, was attempting to take Shinjuku trade lane
and was asked to stop and explain where all those engine components was directed.
At his 'I don't know" reply, almost all the command bridge personell had some loud laughs...
He was then informed about the embargo currently restricting some products toward the Tau sector.
As he reversed the route I suppose this was the case...

While jumping to Shikoku again for another patrol we eventually spotted a Liberty Navy Officer around Ohashi border station,
identified as 'Archangel-USAF'.
As our High Command was not informed of any Liberty Navy activity in the area, I ordered to stop and to prepare to be escorted out of Kusari space,
or to explain his business here.
The gaijin ignored the order and took the lane toward Junyo, then Deshima where he docked.
When he undocked immediately started to cruise toward battleship Myoko, ignoring again an order to stop, even asking 'why?' and then docking.
I then asked to launch, explain his mission or prepare to be escorted out.
He was also warned about what would have happended if he would have engaged cruise again.
Comms were silent and for some very strange reason, our personnel inside Myoko battleship was not able to find him or his ship,
it seems like he just disappeared into nothing.

The Sokaku is now landed at Kyushu planet, as scheduled.

As scheduled by the High Command, a Kusari Naval Forces assault wing was assambled at battleship Nagumo, Kyushu.
During fleet preparations however, two Bretonia Armed Forces gunboats attacked our group and found themselves ambushed
under the fire of two Kusari destroyers, the Chikuma and the Kurashiki.
At the explosion of the first gunboat, the second tried to escape but was reached one lane after the system jump and destroyed.
The Kurashiki rescued several allied pilots included some IMG survivors, all transferred to battleship Nagumo.

When the time was right, the Naval Forces assault wing reached Dundee system without much troubles, ready to fight the Bretonia Armed Forces back.
Some more resistence was encountered near the planet, where a fleet of one Bretonian destroyer plus support fighters and bombers directly engaged our group.
The Kurashiki dealt some heavy damages to the enemy destroyer, which was forced to retreat and escaped with success from the battlefield.
Being the primary target for enemy bombers, our destroyer was soon forced to retreat too but our cruise field was continuosly disrupted and the Kurashiki was lost.
Our warriors successfully managed to dispatch remaining enemy forces and to save Kurashiki's survivors.

The Naval Gunboat Sokaku took orbit of Kyushu planet, as scheduled, to control the traffic flow headed to the warzone.
Most of the scanned pilots were willing to comply, however, I have to report two new offenders who both showed complete disrespect to Kusari laws and authorities.

For refusing to listen to a Kusari Naval Forces Officer orders and attempting unauthorized export of sensible products toward the Tau Sector,
Black.Hole.Shipping and BIZNESMAN are now deemed as criminals.
Outstanding fines: 11M

During Sokaku's blockade I received a message from long range communications, regarding an Outcast gunbship causing troubles in Honshu.
I then forwarded the message to the battleship Sado and a bomber from the KNF-K launched immediately.
The target, indentified as Black_Knight was spotted between Akita station and Sigma-13 jump gate.
Two bounty hunters gunboats were already attacking him and with the Katana bomber help it was quickly turned to space debris.

Message to: Kusari State Police HQ, Fukuoka

Comm ID: Doshin Kilo, [KSP]Nazonazo.

On routine patrol of New Tokyo today, I interecepted a Junker Behemoth, named "Fain", carrying a full load of Cardamine.

I attempted to stop the smuggler by interrupting the Shinjuku lane and dropping mines, but he was able to drop my shields and enter the lane despite my efforts.

The smuggler apparently considers the KSP as ineffectual in its efforts to stop smugglers, and said as much in insulting terms.

I regret my failure to stop the "Fain". Please add him to the Police's "Known Criminals" list.

Kilo.
