Investigation of the Tau-31 situation confirmed reports of a huge military build-up as well as strong Outcast presence. High numbers of Bretonian Templar fighters (approx 12) dropped the Hiryu's shields at one point though the ship prevailed. Futher exploration found the Holman Outpost very well defended ((see screenshot)).

Back in New Tokyo space Telecaster and Blazer were spotted near Roppongi station and engaged. The two Blood Dragon Kusari Gunboats eventually overpowered the Hiryu after a very lengthy battle. Repairs to the Hiryu are proceeding to schedule.
