A defeat! Again...
Our forces moved to E3 sector in Leeds as ordered and engaged enemy fleet bravely.
While our fighters were dealing with enemy fighters and bombers,
the 'Proxy' and the 'Ergo' (battleship and destroyer class respectively, some of our "suddently acquired" assets) engaged the 'HMS-Rodney' and 'HMS-Steadfast'.
The battle lasted few minutes but apparently our battleship was no match for the Bretonian one, as the destroyer as well.
With all due respect to the High Command, the next time I will not leave our lives and the future of leeds in the hands of unknown commanders.
Luckily, enemy capitals were not firing upon us when our capitals went down, probably worried about friendly fire on fighters.
I would have been too at their place.
So, we managed to keep the fight at close range to let the situation stay so and take an advantage, but it didn't worked anyway.
The fight started well as we got some kills but it ended in favor of the Bretonians, sadly, we did our best.
Some of the recently promoted Daii were amongst the attack group, I commend them and I am glad to know they ejected, injured but alive.
This war is costing many young lives to our proud Kusari and I wonder who is going to ensure her future if they will all die for the Emperor.

I have some records about the fight. Our Chusa Alex Sasaki was there, flying the Kusari Bomber [KNF-K]Satoru.
At the beggining of the battle, the BAF sent two scouts flying paladins. I believe it whas BAF|Ens.A.Goodman, and BAF|Lt.Cdr.James.Hobart (or may be Frost). The fighter squadron engaged this scouts, and the Kusari Destroyer (Ergo) launched a missile against them, which destroyed both of the BAF vessels, also, in a mirthless mistake, the missile took out the Kusari Bomber belonging to our Chusa Hajime Kitao.
In that moment the bretonians got re inforcements, they came with their warships, which I didn't have time to get a correct scan of both of them, but they took it our heavy support.
For the record, I didn't notice the bretonian warships weren't shooting at that point, and I keeped my dodging just as if they were.
At the end of the fight, I got engaged by two bretoanian vessels, BAF|Lt.Tom.Ramey and BAF|Lt.Jacob.Carter. I managed to destroy one of them, the Lt. Tom Ramey, but I ran out of nanobots, countermeasures, mines, and had a few TCD and Cballs, and the Lt. Carter (which I left with 12 nanobots, and almost no missiles) got me near the trade lane to the Stokes minning station, a small patrol wing took my escape pod, and returned me to the Nagasaki.

subject: Engagement report
After taking part in the continued siege of Leeds and damaging the ship of some suicidal Bretonian bomber pilot the Mogami moved to help engage enemy forces in Dundee.
There as it was orbiting the planet an fighting enemy Destroyer patrols alone fellow Kusari Forces it was attacked by Molly Destroyer and Gunboat.
The Kusari and Bretonian capital ship patrols added to the carnage but nevertheless Mogami prevailed again, due to grave tactical mistakes by the enemy ships. The molly destroyer exploded and the gunboat ran, heavily damaged.
Kampai!

Igiss says: Martin, you give them a finger, they bite off your arm.
My bomber launched towards the samura mining field in stokes to find combined Bowex/BMM mining group there. 2 Heavily defended transports and 2 mining ships. They did not leave the field when requested so I had to open fire.
First mining ship fell rather fast partly due to friendly-fire. Second got damaged and used a very extensive suply of nanobots before it fled.
At that point one BAF paladin came to defend them. But soon a KNF bomber arrived as well. Together we destroyed one of the container transports, the other one fled. After this more reinforcements from CR arrived and one more BAF. The first BAF paladin fled soon after, the Templar got hit by my supernova. CR vacated the system after this.
Seeing as they are miners perhaps they could be give mining rights in the field as long as they "guard" it? What does high command think about that?
Kampai!

CR attack wing by the end
After an engagement in Leeds, detailed by Captain Saburo Sakai above, we spotted a threat in Kyushu. Four of Queen Carina's Pirates... I mean, Privateers making life difficult for civilian traffic in Kusari.
We doubled back immediately, leaving the forces already stationed at Glasgow and Stokes to hold the line, in an effort to intercept them. We made it just in time to Kyushu, and found the criminals between planet Kyushu and the gate to New Tokyo.
The Emperor made an appearance in his fine yacht, and together we engaged the teabags. Immediately, they scuppered their efforts at piracy in our dominion and fled the scene. Chasing them were up to seven ships, while the divine Emperor enjoyed the fireworks.
This culminated in the complete loss of structural integrity for Andrew Stuart's Challenger, as shown below.
The remaining pirates fled to Ainu depot, seeking refuge with the Golden Chrysanthemums. The guns on Ainu were powerful, downing my shields twice, but the scoundrels were no match for us as they docked on Ainu shortly thereafter. I should've been able to kill one more as he docked, but my aim failed me at the last and he managed to safely land his ship.
(The Above picture is from captain Sakai's ship)
In frustration, I launched a supernova shot at the station as a friendly reminder to the Golden Chrysanthemums that we strongly dissapprove of the company that they keep. I would ask for forces to be redeployed to Hokkaido to deal with Ainu and it's population, but I am aware that all of our forces are tied up on the front lines.
On a personal note, it was an honour to for the first time, see the Emperor in his personal yacht. The most beautiful piece of Kusari engineering that has ever been crafted, fit only for the Emperor himself. The moment was somewhat marred by the presence of the Bretonian pirates, but I will none-the-less remember this day for the rest of my life.
Konnichiwa, to extend my senpais' reports, sending information about a little incident in Leeds.
We were guarding the Tau-31 gate, aroud battleship Nagasaki, and suddenly two Bowex liners jump from there, carrying illegal goods to the bretonians. We stopped both ships, and demanded them to drop their cargo, and they will go freely. Instead of that, one of them was a complete suicide, he asked us to destroy his ship, "it will be easier for me and you will doing me a favor". We couldn't dennied to that wish, and the liner was destroyed. The second liner, in the other hand, launched the cargo and we, satisfactorily, destroyed it. The liner, callsign Phase, jumped back to the Taus.
Along with them, there was another trader, called Free.Trader.Beowulf, he was carrying H-fuel to the bretts. We, nicely, asked him to cut his engines, he refused to do it, and we proceed as normal with that kind of issues.
Senzo here. I received a distress call from a Black Dragon named Hitomi Ryuu: several outcasts were pirating in New Tokyo. I encountered the first 2 near Shinagawa. I asked them to leave and they did, as I was following them with all weapons at the ready.
then the Black Dragon notified me of 3 more coming my way from planet new tokyo. I waited for them near the lane to Shikoku gate, and ordered them to leave Kusari space. they didn`t. instead, they openend up on the Shinshiro.
they had 3 gunships and a bomber. luckily the manouvrebility of the Shinshiro saved the day. My gun crew quickly decimated 3 of them, 2 gs and a bomber. the other GS escaped along with his friends I followed prior to the fight.
Among the remains of their once-gunships I found several survivors: captured KSP officers, who are now in the care of the medical crew of Yukawa Shipyard, some AFA members and even some civillians and a pirate.

SUBJECT: Bounty Hunter and IMG deception in Kyushu
---------------------------------------
After a long day in Leeds i was about ready to pack up when i got reports of a Bounty Hunter in Kyushu. I took a hyper transport to Hiroshima where my closest ship was based and went off to investigate. I Jumped my Chimera into Kyuhsu. It took a bit but i eventually found both a Bounty Hunter and a IMG vessel at the research station. I told the bounty hunter to leave and after a bit of time they responded that they would both be leaving to the tau systems.
I fallowed them towards the Jump Gate thinking that it was over. Once we were out of range of any station around, however, they both turned and engaged. From previous scans i knew the IMG was weak and from how i saw it fought it would be no problem to take out. It was taken down after several minirazr shots to its hull.
I picked up some spare regens from it and proceeded for the bounty hunter. He was slightly better, but he was depleted of his nanobots in minutes. Once that was the case he begged for me to stop and paid me the due fines. He left and headed into Britonia.
List of ships:
DarkInferno - BH
The.Undertaker - IMG
Gun cam shots to fallow.
On another note i have found that my chimera is fully equipped to take on many threats but sadly is devoted to staying in Kusari core systems as i use it for flight evaluation and training of new recruits. I would like to request a second VHF to setup identical to my original for use in my patrols outside of the Kusari core systems. Feedback on this would be appreciated.
