Patrol Vessel: KDS-Shimotsuki (Captain: Enomoto)
Date: 01-01-822
Title: LNS gunboat intercepted in Kusari space
A LNS vessel was intercepted near Shinjuku, in New Tokyo system. The captain of the LNS.Sovereign wished to move to the Taus, with clear intentions of causing havoc to Gallia security and shipping forces. We refused his request and escorted him back to Kepler. The Shimotsuki counted with the aid of Naval ForcesFuminori.Ujihara, and successfully completed his mission.
An outcast vessel called Teleban was found loitering near Battleship Sado, in the Tohoku system. Vessel was ordered to abandon the system, and the Outcast requested to leave to the Omicron passage in the system. The request was granted, and the criminal was escorted to the Omicron-92 jumphole.

Title: LNS.Sovereign intercepted in New Tokyo.
Once again the Libertonian vessel was intercepted while trying to pass Kusari towards the Taus. [KNF]KDS-Jubokko gunboat was the first to encounter the vessel, and the LNS was ordered again to return to Kepler. Once again, we counted on the assistance of Fuminori.Ujihara . Contact with elements of the Liberty Navy 5th Fleet was made, and upon arrival at Deshima, the offending captain was delivered to the 5th Officers who had came to retrieve it.

Patrol Vessel: Fuji-1
Date: 21-01-822
Title: Junker vessels found in Kyushu
Nagumo patrol Fuji-1 found some Junker gunboats surrounded by an IMG group and a KP officer. Before any information could be retrieved, the Police officer retired from the scene, and while the IMG was claiming for the Junker blood, no crime other than their presence had been witnessed. They were ordered back to the taus with a 2M fine imposed to each vessel.

Patrol Vessel: KDS-Shimotsuki (Captain: Enomoto)
Date: 21-01-822
Title: Large engagement in Kyushu
A few moments later, the Junker vessels were found in violation of their deportation orders. The KDS-Shomtsuki was sent into the area, together with [KNF]Jaaku-na and [KNF]Ni.Haruna.Sen .
With the assistance of some Corse members, and a [KP]KDS-Kuchiku (Takeda class Destroyer), we engaged a large group of JM, Outcast and other pirates.
Our efforts managed to take down a Outcast gunboat, but both the Shimotsuki and Jaaku-na, and the KP destroyer as well, were incapacitated during the operation. Nitto Kaii Haruna Sen managed successfully to retreat when ordered, as the battle was not going to our favor.
A large Blood Dragon vessel was detected in Honshu, and Command had suspicions that it could be the Flagship spotted before in other encounters. Two Battleships were dispatched together with a bomber wing to track and destroy the vessels.
The BD|Mt.Fuji was located and destroyed in the middle of the Hokkaido system, while trying to return to their hideout. The Kusari finished the vessel, not requiring the support of the KDS-Ashigara.
Other vessels present included the Destroyer [KNF]KDS-Chokai and the pilot [KNF]Ii.Dayu.Yamo .
Reports of large movement of Blood Dragon vessels in the southern region were received, and some engagements were made against the force of one Battleship (BD|Mt.Fuji) and one cruiser (BD|Mt.Haguro).
On the second engagement, the Battlecruiser Zanza, together with Destroyer Chokai and pilot Ni.Haruna Sen, tried to eliminate the Blood Dragon threat, but were unsuccessful, with the result being the critical damage on the Chokai, and the Zanza incapacitated.
