While hearing information about possible GC in the Hokkaido system, me and and Admiral Sulu headed to Hokkaido to check out the situation. While arriving there I began a scouting mission to find any possible awarences of GC and to our luck the reports were true. Three GC were at Ainu Depot. We kept a perimeter to see if we could draw them away from Ainu but they were wise and we retaliated by charging in. For a few minutes things were going okay till Sulu took heavy damage and we retreated to regroup at the jump gate along with the KNF Hitsu.
Seeing we were overwhelmed we re-entered the New Tokyo system to be yet again followed and attacked by the same GC. Apparently their main focus was to bring down the Hitsu. After and extensive run the Histu successfully made it to Yokohama shipyard in critical condition, but intact. Afterwards me and Admiral Sulu continued to defend off the GC. One was taken down shortly along with another, but in return the Admiral was shot down, luckily nearby shipyard Yokohama was nearby to retrieve the escape pod. I continued to engage the GC but soon found myself in a bad situation when my systems reading reported my ammunition was out. At this I was loosing my main weapon and was force to attack the old fashion way. We continued battling it out till a small SCRA squad appeared and stepped into play. One of them was taken down quickly but then another GC entered the battle and what seemed to be a two on one easily turned into a five on one. Eventually an unlucky mine that was launched from my ship decided to turn on me on the pass and I was force to eject before combustion of the ship. At the moment I am currently in the medical bay on Planet New Tokyo. I shall be ready for duty within the day.

It was hard day today... Me and Otohime were helping to new shois with their traing where Kiretsu bandit tryed to pirate in kyushu... My acton was fast and KIRETSU coward fled with bomber in fire.
After few minutes another distresscall from traders... Blood dragons in our destroyer and bomber tryed to do same thing as KIRETSU dog... after short engage was fight over and we had KAMPAI on our lips. Bomber blown after few seconds of fight by onw mine when my cannonball missle hited his tail in same moment when he was droping that thing. Destroyer exploded an minute later under mine and Otohime's fire.
Rest of day was quiet until BAF cowards didnt camed to fight with us in fair battle in bretonian style 3 vs 2... it was luck Raigin'gaijin was fast and aid our counts but those BAF cowards fled into Tau 29. We were fllowing them there and made short fair fight wit them.... it was first time in my whole service when were our counts same. But not for long time... those COWARDS without any HONOR planed this whole time. HMS Rodney, BAF battleship camed in right time to save them.... sadly Gaijin's vessel blown in while. As older shoi I decided to move to Nagasaki... it was again 3 vs 2 + 2 battleships on both sides. I was sure fighters die soon when my sensors warned me against missle threat but I was out of counter mesure flares... I was sure what is needed to do and catapulted myself just second before my ship blown in space. Ship of younger shoi Akira.Kumura was next folowed by newcomer from Hogosha clan which camed to help us. Everybody destroyed by battleship Rodney.
Losses on our side: 4
3 chimaeras
1 hogosha ?
Losses on enemy side: 2
1 destroyer (dragon)
1 bomber (dragon)
other outcomes:
1 bomber fled in fire (Kiretsu)
1 templar heavily damaged (BAF)
1 BAF bomber heavily damaged (BAF)
1 bomber fled from battlefield (BAF)
Battle counts of BAF attack:
2 BAF bombers, 1 BAF templar, 1 battleship
3 chimaeras.. later 2 chimaeras and 1 hogosha?
Observations:
Fighting skill of BAF pilots of fighter class are poor, they are easy targets of corse if there arent battleship to save them... I recomand |ens. rank as trainig targets for our shois. Battleship Rodney have different settup than last time I spyed.
At the end I must say Im realy disgusted from "fair" definition of BAF cowards, those mans have no honor and if they say something about "fairnes" you can be sure it is lie.
As oldest shoi in service fighting in that fight I take whole responcibility for that fail on my head.

subject: Battle report
Mogami departed Holman due to reports of Bomber and Fighter attacking our patrols at Leeds JG and these were indeed true. Those fools were told to run but decided to stay taking heavy damage from Mogami's guns, then suddenly a bretonian battleship jumped in. Being outnumbered Mogami slowly retreated back to Nagasaki drawing bretonians into a trap. On the way there the returning bomber who has by now lost hit shield exploded to Light Mortar hit.
Nagasaki's firepower provided good cover for the Mogami, but then a Mandalorian bomber came to join the attacking force. Luckily also this bomber was blasted by a Light Mortar hit. Then 2 outcasts as well as another BAF bomber came.
To my not-so-big surprise the BAF was ordering the outcasts to attack me!
For some strange reasons they didn't do that and soon Battleship Rodney well to combined fire. After this the remaining BAF bomber and fighter decided to run to McDuff and I followed them, one got destroyed on the way partly by my fire and party for unknown reasons. The bomber used McDuff as cover but in the end he also got hit by Mogami's Light Mortar.
I hurried back to Holman to find newly arrived Chujo.Chijin and Masaru fighting the Outcast bomber and fighter. Just as I came the bomber was destroyed by his own mine. The fighter then decided to run and took heavy damage in the process but but Managed to surprise Masaru and destroy his ship, after that he fled with almost no guns and later scuttled his vessel as it was apparently unable to make system jump.

The Mon'Star had left our systems when the ASF, after asking me if we needed help, and I said no, entered our systems, they where a hassle to get out. They felt like arguing until one of our Destroyers arrived to escort them out. As soon as they got to the gate, he started communicating with me, and me alone.
As you can plainly see, they have no respect for territories, and will do what they please. I will keep an eye on them.

Thank you for this added "damning" evidence, Akira-san. High Command has filed a formal Diplomatic Complaint with ASF, and will give them 24 hours to respond to myself or Taicho Sulu.
I must agree that their rather inflexible stance towards the Kusari Legal Codex is very disturbing, and will warrant increased vigilance by KNF and KSP patrols.
Strange things happend today. 2 blood dragon gunboats were waiting for traders at the orbit of New Tokyo! What an arrogance! I wasnt able to deal with them alone and there wasnt any other KNF vessels. Luckily KSP sendt me reinforcement but until wyrm of officer Nazonazo (//Nasonazo?... just malalcipse666:$) camed they left our space.
But we wasnt waiting for action too long time. We was informed about pirate activity in Honshu system. Dragon bomber in groupe with outcast falcata were trying to taxe foreiginers and our citizens passing thru sigma 13 JG. Our strike was fast but fight was long, after while we were reinforced with shoi Akira Kumura. As I said fight was long and their ships repetitively surivived our minirazor hits and missile canonade... luckily for me and sadly for dragon I was lucky in shooting on his back and his own mine blowed him why he was droping those deadly things like mad.
Now it was 3 against one... how big chance had one slow narcoman in cocpit of bomber? He was blown after our short fire. It was shoi Akira Kumura who gaved him last shot of mercy after almost 20 seconds of flying in pain where his bomber was whole in flames. Im sure he write own report about that... It is like see myself few months ago when I see shoi Kumura in fight. I wish him same luck what I had in battles with BAF.... and of corse same fast reflex for using catapult haha.
After begging my patrol Route from Yokohama shipyard I received reports from fellow Warrior that a suspected Cardimine smuggler was en-route to pass through New Tokyo. With this information I then headed to the Kyushu Jump Gate on the New Tokyo side to scan passers. My main target though was Mcroger. After picking him up on scanners I scanned his cargo and found a load of Cardimine in his hold. I yield for him to halt but we activated cruise engines. After a long while of chasing him through Kusari space and nearly destroying his vessel after his engines overheated he gave up the run and turned himself in. The Cardimine is now Planet New Tokyo for further investigations.

While assisting new Shoi Akujin with orientation this day (successfully completed!), we encountered the vessel [STF]Moneybags near Planet Kyushu. The vessel was fully laden with plutonium. I advised the captain that he was carrying restricted materials. The Captain was under the impression that STF had paid for an Export license, but upon checking our License Archive, I learned that STF is NOT licensed for export.
(As I recall, their leader, one "Gorva" was given the opportunity to purchase a license, but declined...)
The "Moneybags" was then directed to sell his cargo in Kusari, and to desist from carrying restricted goods until the proper license is applied for, paid, and granted by O.I.C.
Also, while patrolling New Tokyo and Kyushu, I encountered a very large =CR= Convoy, commanded by one "Fauchard". I asked this man to do us the courtesy of reporting to the Senior KNF or KSP present if any large Colonial ship movements are conducted through Kusari Space. He reluctantly and grudgingly acceded, as if this were some large imposition on his group. Hopefully, they will be more courteous in future.

I was in orbit of New Tokyo and was scanning ships for contraband when I saw PotatoSmasher drop out of the trade-lane before reaching New Tokyo. I told him to power off his engines and let me scan his ship, but he didn't listen. I followed him some 40k before I knew where he was taking his still unknown contraband. I knew that he was going to go to the Taus, so I went to Kyushu. After a while of waiting on the Nagumo, I was alerted by the Nagumo's flight commander that a ship matching my description of the PotatoSmasher's ship.
I launched, and surely enough, it was his. I followed him for a while, it seemed as if he was going to go back to Hokkaido through the old jump hole in the Nebula. Then, out of nowhere, he disengaged his cruise engines, and cruise disrupted me and opened fire. He was going to try to kill me. I managed to get a scan of his holds, here is the scan:
As you can see, he was carrying Plutonium, my guess was correct. I managed to engage cruise engines to get away, because alone, I would be no match for a Luxury Liner. I then flew to the Nagumo, so that I could get some rest.

I'll be blunt this time, I fought overwhelming odds in my Chimaera next to close to Holman, many of these were for some reason not fired upon by our patrols and were even using them to hide from my fire. At worst it was me vs 5, then it cleared a bit and I dishonored one bretonian by shooting off all his guns, shield and mini razor but had to finish him quickly when yet another arrived. During later 1vs3 (with me missing 1 Gun and CM due to missiles) one Chimaera came to help me but was destroyed, luckily 2 more came and we destroyed all the remaining bretonians bare 1 LF that fled.
