To: Kusari Kaigun || From: 66th Actual

[Kusari Uchugun]

Captain Hayashimura Kiyoko,

The Admirals circle is generally satisfied by your oversight of the 66th, despite the occurrence of a few unfortunate events, such as your capture by the Imperial forces in Kyushu system, which was concerning, to say the least.

Regarding 66th assets deployments, your directives are the following :

- Kyushu system :

The Admiralty doesn't believe lowering our guard is reasonable in spite of the negotiations currently being undertaken. The surprise attack against battleship Nagumo is a reminder Imperials are capable of the worst. Consequently, 66th assets sent to reinforce West quadrant are to stay put.

- Nagano system :

Elements sent as reinforcement must remain integrated to Matsumoto fleet until the assault launched by Blood Dragons is repelled and planet Tomioka fully secured.

- Tohoku system :

Hanta Iseijin is more than ever a threat for Kusari. Given 66th specialty is also Alien containment, the Admirals circle plan to reinforce your presence in the system within the next months.

- Far Omicrons :

The recent outbreak between the Core and the Order involving a Zoner facility is of little concern for House Kusari. The Admiralty main foreign concern is the stability of Kusari's borders with House Rheinland. Consequently, 66th is ordered to withdraw the majority of its assets from the Omicrons until further notice. Withdrawn assets will be dispatched to either Sigmas or Honshu system to reinforce East Quadrant fleet.

The statuses for Shikoku system, New Tokyo system and Honshu system are deemed as satisfactory and do not require critical relocation.

As for Kazuno outpost, the recently constructed outpost is indeed an ideal base for projection in the far Sigmas and the Omicrons. Such a focus may be undertaken in the future. However, given House Rheinland recent war declaration against Gas Miner Guild, our priority will be to protect Kusari citizens and ensure the conflict doesn't spread to Kusari sovereign space.

The current government also insisted on the absolute requirement to maintain and protect trade routes with House Rheinland, so that Kusari's economy would not be impacted by these troubles occurring by its border. Consequently, 66th assets in the East quadrant will temporarily be integrated to First fleet deployment plan.

Lastly, your request to be granted amenities on Kazuno outpost is granted. Please note the facility still has limited capabilities. Activities such as research and development should still be ideally carried on better suited facilities such as Yokosuka Experimental Module.

Respectfully,
Office of Admiralty,
Kusari Naval Forces.
