Konbanwa, fellow Officers, today in my patrolling this morning, I came across this pirate vessel. After explaining the situation, I escorted them out of Kusari and reminded them not to bring pirate vessels into Kusari. This afternoon, I came across this fellow, carrying cardamine. They tried to hide on Planet Kyushu, but I waited them out. They tried to run to Tau-23, but I chased and managed to take them down after a brief fight. This concludes my report for today.
Addendum: I ran into another pirate train entering from Gallic space, so I again escorted them out of the system
Addendum 2: I ran into another smuggler outside of Planet New Toyko, carrying some Black Market Mutinitions. They claimed to be carrying them for the Kusari Naval Forces for destruction, but was not able to prove the claim. They then dropped the cargo, and paid out 3 million credits for a fine
