Message Subject: Another Sentai-86 ship purged from our system
I was sitting near New Tokyo feeling good about how clean our system was. When suddenly chatter came over the radio. [I]Kuro.Aki had found them self a Senti ship sneaking around. [KNF-K]Senzo and I immediately kicked our cruise engines on and began to try and catch up. [Sentai-86]Nimuro was already on the run. And through close communication with Aki, Senzo and I were able to guess the approximate location he was going to be at. The chase went on for sometime as he was able to evade several CD shots from Aki and Senzo. However I noticed that his flight pattern became somewhat predictable and I was able to close the 5K gap to under 1K. As i stalked the prey i waited for him to make his mistake. When i relized that he was going to be flying straight for some time i killed my Cruise and coasted. This allowed me to open fire with my weapons. I am pleased to say the funuke died shortly there after.

Short story from battlefield. I was helping to honorable captain of Nagasaki with testing of ship scaners when my sensor spoted red contact 8 km from battleship. It was well known bretonian ace Hobart...suprisingly alone. I was called into fair duel in Dundee and I've agreed. I was shocked, because it wasnt ... I repeat wasnt trap as usualy and fight was realy only between us two.
Fight of two skilled pilots in duel is more like dance than just plain shooting around of rookies. We were dancing almost 15 minutes with chance on both sides. At the end, victory was mine. Part of Hobart's templar was tractored and now serve as spit-box in cantina at Nagasaki.

It was long and tiring day full of fights in our newest province of heavenly Kusari empire. Just one jumpgate from their main system London provoke bretonians into suicidal missions against our ofensive forces but it is obvious they will need much more than those barely tries for counterofensive.
Since I have prooved my skills in last moths, captain of Nagasaki gaved me objective lead forces assigned to defense of our southest point in Leeds - Stokes mining station and I did my best to do that task well.
My first encounter was strange because bretonians showed thier newest piece of technology - paladin heavy fighter. It is strange ship with excelent agility... sadly for pilot of that thing, one razor hit is enough... and it wasnt different in this fight too.
My second encounter was breave Bowex employee... just few shots more and another trophy was mine but he have enough brain to fled. Samedid his collegue couple hours later.
Third fight realy satisfying. Bretonians in agony from loosing send famouse bountyhunter Esther Carson against me. It was very very long fight but at the end it was me who won. Since I am not fan of wasting of material. Part of Esther's ship was tractored and Nagasaki's cantina have another spit-box just next to Hobart's.
Whole this time I was in chimaera but in next task was needed bigger toy. Bretonian destroyer tried to break our lines. Sadly for him sensei Sakai aided us in defending of Stokes. Destroyer havent any chance against 2 our bombers... many bretonian souls were sacrificed for nothing.
Just few moments after that when sensei Sakai left position for meetig of comanders.. one of bretonian ensigns taken all his courage to face me and my chimaera in duel. He died, enough said.
After that we, defenders of Stokes, at the point of invasion had few minutes of break but bretonians tried it again. They sneded their best aces to defeat us, Hobart and Trotter aided by another 2 fighters. After 15 minutes when they wasnt able to kill me and I wasnt able to kill them, I've decided end this wasting of time and fallback to nagasaki for a while. After few minutes our forces pushed them back to still their planet.
Just at the end of my service sensei Sakai contacted me with message from our core space about activity of Kiretsu clan. Our moving into core space taken more time than fight itself. 3 GCs fled almost dead and one dragon gunboat was destroyed by our razors.... yes 2 chimaersa was enough to face 4 enemies in same time, win and even destroy gunboat.

Yesterady few random encounters with bountyhunters (defeated thanks to Hogosha) and BAF members. Few records from shipcam.... my chimaera still wasnt destroyed. Our ofensive is unstopable. Thanks to brave gaian which helped me with BAF gunboat and to Akishino.Kiokutei, he killed another 2 BAF members.
PS: Nagasaki have third new spit-box from ship of admiral McKenna. Yes one admiral at their side less.

Again from the top of our offensive in Leeds.
At the begining I am sending formal question to high command why I am still only "ace" presented in first line while rest of elite squad do missions in our core space? I mean I need sometimes backup or alteration and that is hard to do with rookies (//NPCs). If reason for staying of our troops in rear have classification *secret* please ignore this part of report.
Well at the morning short dogfight with bretonian bomber, he obviously died. Nothing special happend it was routine.
Much more interesting almost fair fight happend at the evening. I and with me whole Stokes was ambushed by BAF... my companions (//indie KNF, forgot name and Hogosha.. also forgot name... sorry guys) was defeated too soon for evective defense of base... no wonder, Bretonians called their best Hobbard and Trotter, later some ensigns and cruiser, you know... just standard asault squad.
I was seriously surprised by their offer of fair fight.... we all know bretonian fair fights. This was..... well...... almost fair. From time to time someone shot me from guns or even razor but they were doing their best in beeing "fair". I must say nummber of my regens wasnt realy important at the end so we can ignore it.
It was duel between Trotter in bomber and me. Have mounted supernova on my chimaera, Trotter was dead 5 times... yes that much razor hits into hull he survived... chalennger can stand a lot of damage huh. After maybe 45 minutes in fight was Trotter nearly out of nanos which is in frequence of razor hits equal to dead, I've made stupid mistake... maybe from tiredness, maybe just from too big self-reliance and he finaly got me with his supernova.
All in all Bretonnians paid for this one small chimaera with 9 their fighters and one cruiser which isnt bad price if I imagine I've gaved to Nagasaki trophys from names like Carson, McKenna and Hobbart.
PS: they are giving bombers to their ensigns now... what an wasting. Supernova have bigger value than life of rookie, not even rest of ship!

During a large battle in front of Kyushu, I heard a trader being pirated, by a Privateer. I decided to try to find out where this had occured, in order to alert High Command. After going through the trade lane from Kyushu to Tsushima Depot. My assumption had been correct; it was there. I messed with the gunboat, mainly to test out it's capabilities and tactics for a while. As you can imagine this got boring fairly quickly. After this data was taken, I went through the trade lane back to Kyushu so that I could give this data to High command. They managed to sortie a bomber, by the time he had gotten there, it had been to late.

Subject: Detainment of probable spy
While patrolling in New Tokyo, I came across a ship piloted by an Austin Goodman near Shinagawa Station. The ship was Bretonian, and broadcasted an Armed Forces IFF and freelancer Identification. This person claimed to be an off-duty ensign and was most likely spying. They were detained and taken to Fuchu Prison in Shikoku. Image

It's been some time since i wrote a report and it was about time.
Today i had planned to train a little with Chusa Alex Sasaki in Hiroshima system. But things didnt go quite as I planned. The moment i exited Stokes with my fighter a bretonian gunboat was waiting for me along the TL to Nagasaki. I tried to get past it, but he disrupted my engines, so i kept on my thruster until i reached the next lane. He followed me to Nagasaki, a really bad move, it only took few shots from me, cos the Nagasaki did almost allthe damage, and he went down like a bird. After that i wanted to go to Hiroshima but i got direct orders from Chusa Arimatsu Yoritoro to hold position if there were to be further bretonian attacks, in the meantime he ordered me to take care of a ruthless mercenary who was bald enough to dissobey us. So i stayed around Nagasaki. After not much time i heard on the system communication channel that the bretonians were fighting some outcast and a junker, so i tought this was a great opportunity to strike all of them altough i was alone. I got there fast so i engaged the bretonians. I tought the outcast and the junker would be of help but they were as coward as they always are so they fled quickly and left me alone with the 2 bretonians. One of them chase the outcast and i chased him, he didn't got the outcast but i got him, few shots of the sunfuries and one shot from mini razor, and he was a gonner. After that i changed my attention to the other one who was heading my way because the junker had fled too. So the dog fight began, it went pretty good at the beggining, except the thing that a destroyer was constantly shooting missiles at me. I got him a few times with my razor, bur before the fight could end, another bretonian appeared the coward Hobart, and a mandalorian, to aid them, so i decided that it isn't worth it to fight the 3 of them. I would have surely lost, i had no more batteries and nanobots, so it would have been a suicidal mission.
This will be all for today.
Salazar giggled as he listened to the Naval officers report. They should really learn to encrypt their reporting channels, honestly, if he could crack it this easily, the Bretonians could probably hear everything they say.
He hit the transmit button and started to speak.

Some outcast? Hee hee hee, how ignorant your pilots are Kusari... and here I was hoping we could get along...
Quote:I tought the outcast and the junker would be of help but they were as coward as they always are
...and I don't know about the Junker, but if you call me a coward again, I shall rip your throat open and drink the blood from your veins. As I recall, you retreated aswell... and I killed the mandalorion for you.
My name is Salazar Kithe, and if you insist on staying in the Leeds system then you had better get to know me... at your own peril."
