Aisatsu Dragons,

The Hamamatsu has made an initial foray into the Nomad systems in order to further operation Murasakiiro no fuka-sa ni.

We completed a full survey of the system, confirming previous survey reports already on file. Omicron Iota contains precisely what we anticipated it would: thrall research installations, an Alien city, a growing hive... and countless weapon platforms. In the center of the system lies another jump gate which we hypothesize to lead to even more developed alien systems.

We were, as predicted, intercepted by numerous hostile organic ships, ranging from small interceptor equivalents up to what can best be described as light cruisers. We destroyed every alien ship we came across, retrieving all remaining organic remains in highly isolated security bays within our cargo hold. These remains were brought back without incident to Osihi Ronin station so they may be studied, and minor damage to our outer hull was repaired quickly at Mito Shipyards.

Based on the resistance we encountered in a relatively outlying alien system, we anticipate deeper ventures through the alien jump-gate network will require a greater commitment of resources. At this time, I believe three (3) Kagutsuchi-class vessels would be an appropriate fleet size, should deeper alien worlds indeed contain the larger alien vessels that have been known to assault Order positions. Togo-class ships are too important and too large of a target to risk on engaging the highly maneuverable, mixed-composition forces aliens tend to field, and Hachiman-class ships are anticipated to be too light to withstand extended combat missions against such vast enemy forces.
