From: Captain Saburo Sakai on board the Mogami

subject: Engagement report

Our Gaian friends have reported a larger Bretonian vessel in the Dundee system. Mogami proceeded to cut it off on the way back. While waiting there it managed to intercept incoming Challenger reinforcement.

The Bretonian immediately engaged cruise and attempted to run away, but the lack of any evasive maneuvers proved his downfall.

He however managed to call more reinforcements so Mogami retreated to Stokes where it met a KNF bomber, which was however missing armor.

Right as it came there a Bretonian Destroyer, a Gunboat and a Fighter appeared. Even though Kusari forces were outnumbered we managed to destroy the Gunboat just as more and more Bretonian reinforcements started coming. Nevertheless the Destroyer went down as well, due to extremely poor tactics and firing procedures shown by its crew. The Bretonians must apparently be starting to give command of capships to less capable officers due to their large losses.


At this point the situation was not looking well for Kusari forces with 6 bombers and 1 fighter on enemy side. After our bomber was destroyed I ordered a retreat to Stokes and luckily a Battleship patrol came just in the right time obliterating one of the bombers. The remaining 5 became scared of it's firepower and retreated. Mogami is currently being repaired on Glasgow, but it should be ready for action soon.
