I have been instructed by Hayashimura-sama to send this field report with the utmost haste, how ever i will keep it detailed but somewhat brief as I'm still operating out of Battleship Sado at this time. Myself along with Sahiko.Masaki, received a request from Hayashimura-sama to rendezvous with a small Battlegroup from the 66th branch of the naval forces outside battleship Sado in Tohoku, at which point we were debriefed by Hayashimaru on the primary and secondary objectives of our operation.
Primary objective:identify the route of trade and disrupt any logistical convoy of the blood dragons Secondary Objectives: Identify any points of interest with in the system
Naval forces assets used in the operation: Umibozu class bomber vessel (primary fleet) [KNF]li.Minomoto.No.Tametomo Wyvern Class very heavy fighter Escort vessel (reserve fleet) Sahiko.Msaaki
66th branch of naval forces assets used: *Classified* very heavy fighter vessel with callsign "Nuboshi" *classified* Bomber vessel with callsign "Ubume"
the 66th Battle group was operating on intelligence that suggested that the Blood dragons were using the Omicron Epsilon system as a Corridor to aid the transportation of Various supplies, which as we understand these supplies are given to them by none other than the Order.
When Hayashimura-sama was done with the debrief, callsign "Nuboshi" took the lead as we headed out to investigate this epsilon anomaly. callsign "Umbume" was given the protocol of lead scouting vessel.
Upon reaching the JumpHole we were given the all clear to jump through to investigate further, and our findings may somewhat surprise you.
first finding:
upon entering the system we began our reconnaissance patrol we came across a giant structure which upon further investigation was a Nomad layer which was heavily defended by a minefield however there is possibilities to get small vessels through this minefield so for the purpose of further operations with in the system i believe that it should not impede reconnaissance operations or more "classified operations" but I advise fighters and bombers are only to be used as casualties and losses sustained on much bigger vessels would be catastrophic to our naval forces.! 1 2
I have enclosed a bit of the transcript of communications identifying this:
[23.02.2018 22:49:52] [KNF]'Ubume'|66th: Abort! Abort!
[23.02.2018 22:49:55] [KNF]'Ubume'|66th: Mines ahead.
[23.02.2018 22:50:03] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Keep your distance.
[23.02.2018 22:50:16] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Move around and identify an entry point.
[23.02.2018 22:50:22] [KNF]'Ubume'|66th: Ryoukai!
[23.02.2018 22:50:48] Sahiko.Masaki: Considering the patern of the mines, with a slow flight, we could pass through I think.
[23.02.2018 22:50:57] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Good observation.
[23.02.2018 22:51:06] [KNF]'Ubume'|66th: Maybe they are just anti heavy unit ones?
[23.02.2018 22:51:12] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Proceed through the minefield. Steadily.
[23.02.2018 22:51:30] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Ah. Magnificent.
[23.02.2018 22:51:31] [KNF]'Ubume'|66th: Well.
[23.02.2018 22:51:37] [KNF]'Ubume'|66th: This thing is awfully familiar!
[23.02.2018 22:51:45] [KNF]'Ubume'|66th: Do you remember...
[23.02.2018 22:51:49] Sahiko.Masaki: The lair has a good range. It was already shooting at me.
[23.02.2018 22:52:11] [KNF]'Ubume'|66th: That odd system which was disruption all astrogation instruments?
[23.02.2018 22:52:16] [KNF]'Ubume'|66th: Disrupting, even.
[23.02.2018 22:52:28] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Nomad vessels have started appearing.
[23.02.2018 22:52:32] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Clear out.
im well aware that the High Command and the 66th division as well as most of the senior members of the Naval forces probably already know of this but i decided to include this in my report nevertheless. i want to be as thorough as time allows me.
upon resuming our Recon patrol we came across possible remnants of a battle between the CORE and the Order transcript of communications:
[23.02.2018 22:57:29] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Wreckage.
[23.02.2018 22:57:57] [KNF]'Ubume'|66th: Oh that thing blew up.
[23.02.2018 22:58:04] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Indeed so.
[23.02.2018 22:58:22] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Looks like a battle between the Core and the Order, through what the audio recordings tell.
[23.02.2018 22:58:37] [KNF]'Ubume'|66th: Uhoh..
unfortunately the imagery has come back negative and is too distorted to utilize.
next we made our way down to quadron Echo 8 as to which we came across a planetoid that we have since discovered to be called Phoenicia Phoenicia planetary information:
Phoenicia is an arctic world, which also has an extensive ring system and upon further investigation we have concluded;
planets Diameter: 13,348 km
Planetary Mass: 6.10 x 10e24 kg
Planetary Temperature:-115°C to 10°C
Planet Inhabited: No
Expointable Resources: Inconclusive [side note:due to the planets chaotic drop in temperature it is highly unlikely that colonising the planet would be achievable in the foreseeable future, However mining operations could potentially be achievable providing a more extensive reconnaissance of the planets surface being achieved, i would also like to add that this would probably lead to high costs of researching and development of sustainable mining equipment to withstand the freezing temperatures but the pros and cons of this must be weighed up if this is something you may wish to pursue further.]
Other planetary information in the system are as follows:
A gas Giant known as planet Tunis information on the planet are ;
planetary Diameter :67,312 km
Planetary Mass:29.24 x 10e24 kg
Inhabitable: No
Exploitable resources : None [Side note: planet has no further need to be assessed as its a gas giant and all relevant information has been ascertained]
Moon planetoid known as Callista;
A Planetary Moon which after which preliminary scans have indicated it is a composed of methane and rock and lacks any form of sufficient mass to allow for any kind of atmosphere.
noted information:
Moon Diameter :3,509 km
Moon Mass :2.31 x 10e24 kg
Moon Temperature :-240°C to -14°C [side note: due to the planets barren surface terraforming or installation of a operation base is unlikely due to the severe changes that occur on the surface]
as you can tell our planetary reconnaissance has been rather thorough .
the battle group decided to move on and try and establish more links to our primary objective, However we did happen to stumble upon order pilots with liquid cardamine, we were unable to establish if they were using this or trying to transport it [Sidenote: a sample was taken and later delivered to Battleship yokosuka for further analysis.]
shortly after this incident we came across an Order Osiris class Battleship, whos commanding officer had stated when questioned about the vessel *see Hayashimura last report*;
[23.02.2018 23:34:31] Order|CV-Osiris: ?: "The ships under my command are instructed not to enter house space, unless there is a significant nomadic presence that -
[23.02.2018 23:34:35] Order|CV-Osiris: needs dealing with."
so perhaps the Order vessel that was dealt with in the Uncharted System was acting under rogue intents and purposes? how ever this information coming from an Order operative no matter how high up cannot be fully trusted.
a Blood dragon vessel was caught and decloaked by "umbume" how ever i was not able to ascertain information on the vessel but it does lead us to the potential discovery that they are quite possibly using Omicron Epsilon as a corridor from either Omicron Mu or other systems further out to bring they're ill gotten gains and plans, into Core Kusari Space...
transcript as follows:
23.02.2018 23:53:50] BD|AU-Yanabayashi: Homura: Gunnery, power to the secondary turrets.
[23.02.2018 23:54:01] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Good luck with that.
[23.02.2018 23:54:09] [KNF]'Ubume'|66th: Already? Uhoh.
[23.02.2018 23:54:31] Sahiko.Masaki: And the agent here was talking about the lack of manners..
[23.02.2018 23:54:36] BD|AU-Yanabayashi: Homura: And why are you, pests, swarm here all of a sudden? Shouldn't you sit in home with your families, trembling in fear?
[23.02.2018 23:54:38] [KNF]li.Tametomo-San: hai indeed
[23.02.2018 23:54:49] [KNF]'Ubume'|66th: Oh that's a very good line.
[23.02.2018 23:55:04] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Oh. I think I spit inside my helmet.
[23.02.2018 23:55:12] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: That was truly hilarious, dragon.
[23.02.2018 23:55:27] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Thanks for giving me a good laugh. Truly.
[23.02.2018 23:55:28] BD|AU-Yanabayashi: Homura: I believe you should. But, somehow, you try your best to appear 'brave'.
[23.02.2018 23:55:47] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Are we not?
[23.02.2018 23:55:49] [KNF]li.Tametomo-San: it would appear you have lied to us battle ship osiris ?
[23.02.2018 23:56:04] Order|CV-Osiris: ?: "Lied? No. This is not the right comms signature."
[23.02.2018 23:56:29] BD|AU-Yanabayashi: Homura: You are not. Apparently. However, your efforts in poking into Omicrons are even respectable.
[23.02.2018 23:56:42] [KNF]li.Tametomo-San: you was trying to cover theyre escape through to kusari core space was you not?
[23.02.2018 23:56:52] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: We've been initiating Omicrons operations for quite a few years, actually.
[23.02.2018 23:56:52] Order|CV-Osiris: ?: "I was not."
[23.02.2018 23:57:09] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: He most likey was, but you can't really blame him for that.
[23.02.2018 23:57:12] Order|CV-Osiris: ?: "Could you get your facts straight before mindlessly lobbing accusations?"
[23.02.2018 23:57:28] [KNF]li.Tametomo-San: hai this is true, mindlessly no not at all! im just stating it based on what im seeing for my self
[23.02.2018 23:57:30] 2018-02-23 23:57:23 SMT Traffic control alert: BD|AU-Yanabayashi has requested to dock
[23.02.2018 23:57:44] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: Aw.
[23.02.2018 23:57:55] [KNF]'Ubume'|66th: Bravery.
[23.02.2018 23:58:06] [KNF]'Nobushi'|66th: The commander just told their crew to ready to open fire, but then proceeded to moore.
this action in itself has confirmed that our intelligence of the blood dragons and the Order working hand in hand in some way shape or form is correct and leads me to stress the need to increase our operations with in the Tohoku System and possible patrols into Epsilon to try and deter or halt the strides and boldness that the Blood dragons are seeming to take, We must also with take due consideration on our stance with the Order to try and disrupt their willingness to Help the Dragons, but these are not decisions for me to make.
I hope i haven't missed out on any information... or if clarification is needed please contact Hayashimura-sama as she will have more extensive information at hand, and I must return to the active field of duty.
Arigato for your time
