Subject: Defending Kyushu
My appologies in advance, but this report might be a bit chaotic as the battle was, recently fought in front of Kyushu. I'll try to keep it straight.
I was docked on Kyushu to retire my Chimaera, when i received comm signals of AFA vessels and Mandalores. So i made a quick preparation, launched and headed to planet Kyushu. AFA kept me informed about location and status of Mandalores, while i informed all present KNF vessels. On Kyushu i ordered Mandalores to leave Kusari, but they decided to attack. AFA were joining me in the fight against Mandalores, when 2 or 3 Nova PG entered the fight too.
It was a wild dance and no side could gain an advantage. Soon a corporation/independent Kusari destroyer entered the fight on our side, while an independent merc in a Liberty GB suddenly started shooting the destroyer, which was destroyed soon. A later check of the comm log was prooving an agreement between NovaPG and this merc!!!!
In the meanwhile the alerted KNF officers have arrived the scene. It was no skirmish any longer. It was becomming a battle with casualties on both sides. I have lost the overview, because of so many parties participating in.
At the end a BHG BC was coming to our aid and the leader of KNF-E, who was alerted too.
Suddenly there was silence. The battle was over. and CSV from planet Kyushu started to collect the debris and scrap of the destroyed ships.
Participating vessels and losses
KNF and AFA side:
KNF Mako VHF - survived
KNF Ragin.Gaijin VHF - destroyed
KNF Katsumoto Fukui VHF - destroyed
KNF Yoshi Sabayai Bomber - survived without participating directly. Docked soon at Kyushu to prepare his KNF-E Explorer
KNF-E Joshiee Kusari Explorer - survived
Ensign Hoaxley and ensign Fukui are safe on planet Kyushu and awaiting the assignment of new fighters. Both are unharmed.
AFA have taken care about their fellows.
Escape pods of USS Golden were picked up by a nearby trader.
Escape pods of the enemy were not found.
We had the higher losses but were able to defend our homeland with the help of the AFA, BHG and an independent Kusari destroyer, while Neurotical Novas and Mad Mandalores have prooved themself once more unable to overthrow the kusarian society.
Banzai...Banzai...Banzai
My life for the Shogun!

Note 1: Have a sharp eye for independent Mercs with Liberty GB in Kusari.
Note 2: Be aware of DhaWherdRasheya in his Arrow. He is not using the common Mandalore IFF. So if you have an encounter of Mandalores, watch your back.
