As shois above me already writen we had dragon battleship in Kushu today followed by 2 dragon gunboats and dragon bomber.

Battleship surendered and leaved kusari space, more about that incident is writen in reports above so I will not wirite about that again.

Those 2 dragon gunboats and bomber were much tougher oponents than that battleship. My supernovas was good enough to take them down because our shois and gunboat Otohime kept their shields down almost whole time. NOVAPG tagged bomber fled from battle like scared rabbit when both gunboats exploded in space. Sadly both shois lost their vessels in action. Hah those "brave" dragons was thought our shois in chimaeras are easy kill... bah they are fools, not even their battleship wasnt able to defeat us... cowards and traitors are those dragons, nothing more.

I must say Im impresed by skills of our recruits, I bet they will be better than me if they already arent hehe... I must practice more in dojo to keep my reputation up hahaha, I hope sensei Sakai give me few private lessons.

Anyway I lost my vessel today too. I had hard fight with liberty rogue in Shikoku. It was real ace and my chance against him was only theoretical but I showed him good and long fight. Lucky BAF havent that good fighters or when I think about that it is sad because those hard encounters are best for sharping our skills.

Signed Arimatsu Yoritoro.

subject: Encounter report
While patrolling Honshu system today a strange beacon was detected by my scanners in the far end of the system. Moving in to investigate we found what looked like a damaged Eagle fighter with GC transponder. It was transmitting signals that seemed like a person inside was unconscious and dieing.

Our scans of the vessels were inconclusive so it was taken in tow to Yukawa shipyard.

There, more powerful scans by shuttles from the shipyard showed only empty vessel, before more advanced scans could be complete the automatic defense system on one of the passing destroyer malfunctioned and destroyed the vessel.

No recognizable part of debris was identified after the "destruction". This might have been due to the sheer power of the guns on the destroyer but it seems unlikely. Technicians on Yukawa are investigating the recordings trying to find any possible explanation.

Konnichiwa samurais.

I was in New Tokio when my com detected stress call from Senzo's escape pod in Kyushu. After jump into system I saw reason why was Senzo in escape pod... blood dragon gunboat. He was at the begining of fight with our gunboat Tone, skills of comander of BD gunboat wasnt realy good so he was nice practice target for my SNACs and Tono's guns. He died after 3 SNAC hits.

Later I was chasing OC destroyer... again, crew and comander were greenhorns, he was trying to kill me but there wasnt need to use single nanobot or baterie. Face to face long death, captain of OC destroyer decided to flee. I was continuing in his chasing into Shikoku where our destroyer from 7th brigade joined me. OC destroyer havent enough courage to fight with us and fled into Galileo.

I've also met few unaproved bombers with honorable KNF-K signs... I dont want sound too elitist but this sould not be tolerated. I ordered to pilots send their aplications into dojo and wait for result.

"First off, let me say that I realize relations between The Order and Kusari have never been ideal, though neither one of us wishes to attack the other we have never been able to form any real allegiance. Being a native of Kusari myself, I hope to somewhat improve relations between our two groups in the future, but today I dont come bearing the best of news."

"Today, a Kusari Naval Forces crew was found in our space, onboard an Independent Mining Guild Gunboat. I know not how the ship was obtained, or why any self respecting Kusari crew would give up one of their own vessels for that of a foreign group, but that is not the subject of this message. What concerns me is that this vessel, bearing KNF identification and IFF transponder, landed on our homeworld against our request, and against authorization stole numerous Order Gunboat Turrets before fleeing the planet back towards Kusari space."

"The vessel in question flies under the name Fyrestorm, we chose not to pursue the ship back into Kusari space as such a hostile act would undoubtedly damage our future relations with the Kusari government, but we would like to request an investigation on this ship's crew and purpose. From the behavior of the vessel's captain, I do not believe he was acting under orders from Kusari Naval Command, but rather was a rogue ship operating outside of the standard command structure."

"I look forward to a response, please contact me on a private channel if any information on this subject is found."

As expected the Bretonians were suspecting of a trap and launched a diversion attack on Tsushima Depot.
My forces, including myself, have stood in defense as much as we could, then retreated to Battleship Nagumo.

I've heard the Tawakemono chased the escape team but then something we could not foresee happened.
The Tawakemono second in command have reported of a randevous between the BAF escape team and a pair of Blood Dragons, which helped masking the escape ship signals.

Nelson managed to escape, but at least the enemy have learned that Kusarian are people of honor, duty and respect.
We honor our enemies as we honor our friends, and prisoners.

Signed,

On a patrol in Kyushu I encountered a junker iff ship carrying plutonium. Name was Cain.Shepard

http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff152/D...en/screen31.jpg

I sumized him to stop 3 times, yet he ran. due to an incomming ion storm I was unable to shoot him down in TAU-29.

On a sidenote: can the armoury send some funds my way? I`m running low and the maintenance costs are high since I have to do a lot on my own.

Senzo out.

subject: Engagement report

Command informed me that Mori was fighting 3 ships alone (2dragons + 1 outcast), so I launched to help him. Our combined force destroyed one Blood Dragon fighter:



and was downing the Outcast bomber when even more overwhelming forces arrived into the 3vs2 fight:



we still managed to damage one blood dragon bomber beyond repair (reports say it was abandoned after the battle):



But ultimately the hull of my ship gave away, Mori recovered my pod and safely retreated to Hiroshima. The "honorable" blood dragon forces seem to be relying heavily on bomber class vessels with imported experimental weaponry, maybe it's time to discuss a change of tactics to counter them?

Allied forces in fight: (2 total)
1 Chimaera
1 Wyrm - destroyed

Enemy forces in fight: (6 total)
3 Blood Dragon bombers - 1 damaged beyond repair
2 BD fighters - 1 destroyed
1 Falcata - retreated

Comm ID: Ruuku Ochi
Subject: Reporting a Violation of Trade Embargo

Konnichiwa, I, a proud citizen of Kusari, would like to report a violation of the Kusari legal codex by way of ignoring the trade embargo placed upon the Taus on war materials. I'm not sure where I should report this, so I have sent the report to you.

Three zoner vessels, two advanced trains and a luxury liner, passed through Kusari core and into the Taus before reaching a final destination of Newcastle were spotted today by myself. All three carried Plutonium in their holds. I warned them of the trade embargo, and informed them that if they continue with their plotted course they would be in violation of Kusari law and thus be considered criminals of the Empire. They never responded, and simply ignored me. They were escorted the whole way by a bounty hunter cruiser

The three zoners in question are:
[Zoners]Dielcas
[Zoners].Routex.
[Zoners]Dielavaras

The Bounty Hunter Cruiser in question is:
[AeG]Andre.escort

I thank you for allowing me the time to send this, and I hope their justice will be swift. Ignorance is no excuse for violating law.

Subject: Report from daily patrol

Konnichiwa samurais. My daily service was at the end when security of planet Kyushu informed me about dragon gunboat at the orbit. Since my skills in fight with bomber arent perfect, I've asked shoi Mori for help. Well as time showed it was wasting with human sources. Gunboat captain was unskilled which was my only luck because underequiped Mori's chimaera was fighting bravely but impact of his weapons on gunboat hull and shields was insignifikant. As I said enemy was unskiled and easy target for my supernova blasts.

Dragon was into hell where traitors him should spend eternity.
