To all those fresh on the front with Kusari, welcome to Battlegroup Stormpike.

The Kusari have been reported making fresh inroads recently and it's our job to stop them.

Kusari Convoy Interceptions
The Admiral has left standing orders to hit KNF convoys carrying Deuterium from Omega 49 to Kusari space.

Kusari Military convoys are travelling between Kusari space and Omega-49 through Dublin, Edinburgh, and some of the Tau's as part of a continuous RP event. Standing orders are for gunboats and smaller craft to intercept and destroy the military tagged transports (larger vessels are not to be used by either side). Preference is given for eliminating the vessels on their return trip so as not to deprive the Zoners of their cargo. KNF vessels in Omega-49 are subject to the protection of the Zoners in order to complete the trade transaction, as such SF personnel shall not provoke the Zoners by entering Omega-49 while the transports are transferring their cargo.

Ships belonging to Lion Squadron are recommended to treat these convoys as a high priority target. Interception should be easiest near the Omega 49 jumphole in Dublin.
Cruise disruptors will be necessary to stop the convoys and it is suggested you keep a good supply on hand to prevent the transports from regaining cruise. The transports may be protected so expect a challenge.
The convoys are likely to take any one of three jumpholes when leaving Dublin. Leeds jumphole is the least probable route due to BAF defenses in that sector, however, Chester and Edinburgh are another matter.

While in Dublin system, you can take missions from the Battleship Essex to improve your BAF Guard rating.

Capture Kusari Elite Pilots
All of Battlegroup Stormpike can assist in operations against the Kusari invaders sighted in Dundee system(accessible from Tau 31 and Edinburgh). Kusari Elite fighters have also been sighted there so expect a challenge.
The Admiral has a reward offered to those who are most successful at capturing these Kusari Elite pilots, as has been mentioned in previous messages.


Tau 31 patrols
The Kusari still contest Tau 31 and Tau 29 so expect enemy capital ship patrols. Any KNF spotted in this region may be engaged at will.

When entering Tau 31 from Leeds, it's likely Kusari destroyer and gunboat patrols will be in the vicinity of the jumpgate.
Expect considerable Kusari and Gaian resistance near Planet Harris. Fighters and Gunboats from MacDuff battlegroup may be able to offer some support.
A significant Kusari presence, especially battleship patrols, has been reported around Holmann Outpost.
Approaching the Tau 29 jumpgate, you're likely to see Kusari Destroyer and gunboat patrols.


When pushing into Tau 29, be aware that heavy Destroyer and Gunboat squadrons have been sighted around the jumpgate. Extreme caution is advised while operating in Tau 29.


Any souvenirs you collect can be put on display at the Stormpike table in the Officer's club. Drop in there while off duty to share your stories with the rest of the SF.

Good luck out there.
