Konichiwa, KNF command, this is Kuma Takeda of AFA. On today patrol me and one of my brothers stumbled upon most interesting sight. Ship we indentified as =CAZADOR_M= flying under GMG colors and indentification card. Wierd thing is he was in one of your Battle Cruisers. We were not sure about it, but it did not seemd likely that razor edge Kusarite tech would be sold to some Gaijin like GMG. Following is copy of my control pannel to proof my word.
While preparing our forces for a strike against Bretonia a Lane Hacker Gunship was spotted in the Kyushu system. Our assembled forces elmininated the thread swiftly.
Then we received a heavily encoded message from an AFA vessel in Sigma 13 about the presence of a Blood Dragon flagship.
We decided to seize the opportunity to deal a major blow to the Draqons and went to Sigma 13 at full speed.
The AFA vessel was under attack by an outcast bomber but he was quickly eliminated. Contact was made with a Blood Dragon bomber and soon another one... then the Dragon battleship came into range.
All allied forces concentrated fire on the vessel and it's hull soon gave away:
The remaining Dragon forces scattered to the deepest Tau systems.
While our strike force was returning home trough Sigma 13 system we encountered an Outcast destroyer and a bomber, they were swiftly dealt with, but one of our chimaeras fell to the fire from the destroyer. The main force reached Honshu system safely.

...Subject: Another Bretonia raid in Kyushu
On return from a Nomads hunt our forces spotted QCRF and Mandalorians forces making a raid in Kyushu system.
All cargo from our task force was immediately given to the destroyer Kurashiki for a safe stop in Hiroshima while other warriors was heading to Kyushu to engage the Bretonians.
Scientists at Kansai Research Station will be happy to receive a full load of cargo and to make essays on it, while Kishiro technicians will adapt the guns to be mounted on our fighters and bombers.
I joined the attack team with my bomber as they was about to jump in Kyushu.
Cmdr. Kazuo was in command of this mission so I formed in, a good target priority list was already planned by him.
Unfortunately during the battle another Mandalorian Gunboat joined enemy forces and the rest of our team apparently missed a target priority change order,
likely our communications was jammed, this battle was hard anyway.
I was the first target of the enemy ordinance firepower and my catamaran soon failed to keep structural integrity, I was forced to eject.
While observing the battle from my pod I received a message from Ambassador Barak about an AFA fighter dispatched to help our warriors, a welcome help.
The destroyer Miyazaki was the next target by the enemy and was destroyed near in a minute or two, a good number of pods joined my try to reach the nearest allied ship with maneuver thrusters.
This again proves how capital ships use should be avoided if not under special circumstances.
The exploration gunboat Heiontousa was then targeted and as an exploration light ship she couldn't suffer heavy fire and did not lasted long, more pods were filling the space around us.
It was then the time for the Chimaeras to hold ground in a now near impossible battle to win, they did not fled and fought valiantly before falling under enemy guns.
My pod was running out of oxigen and I lost my senses, I woke up in the medical bay of the battleship Nagumo some time later.
Ships lost:
Destroyer Miyazaki - Cmdr. Kazuo Sugino
Exploration Gunboat Heiontousa - Lt. Yoshi Sebayai
Catamaran - Adm. Hikaru Sulu
Chimaera - Ens. Tye Matsuo
Chimaera - Ens. Date Masamune

...Subject: Defeat in Dundee
This is a dark day for Kusari.
While our forces were fighting QCRF forces spotted in Dundee system, a good number of Blood Dragon ships joined QCRF ranks and opened fire against us.
I was disheartened and disgusted to learn this evening that the traitorous NovaPG are now assisting the Bretonian war effort.
Their Commander Bruce "Die Hard" Willis had always expressed in the past that if Kusari was threatened, the NovaPg would act to defend Kusari first.
Now we know that his words were empty.
Despite our good numbers the enemy fleet managed to destroy our forces without even suffering casualties.
I headed alone to Dundee to recover all escape pods and see if I can find something useful in all the wrecks. Seeing them with my own eyes angered me deeply, yet as I was doing it bretonian patrols kept attacking me! Looks like they don't have respect for the death either.
I went on a furious rampage eliminating each and every bretonian vessel all the way from Dundee to planet Leeds. On my way back at Stokes a Templar engaged me, but was destroyed after a while.
Rest of the return journey was uneventful and I'm please to report that I have new prisoners ready for interrogation.

Igiss says: Martin, you give them a finger, they bite off your arm.
Admiral, much to my concern, tonight I encountered a Agraira Battle Group tagged [LaneSecurity] in the New Tokyo system. They indicated they were in talks with you concerning permission for them to patrol the trade lanes in Kusari. As Ambassador for the Farmers party as a whole, I must strenuously protest any rights for the Gaijin to patrol Kusari space. Are we not capable of protecting our own interests. My feelings on the trade lane system in Kusari are well know, I believe it has brought nothing but harm to the traditions and well being of the Kusari people, but now in addition to their awful trade lanes, we must accept Gaijin forces to patrol it? Admiral, you are an honorable man of tradition and a great friend of the Farmers, we have fought side by side and have taken causalities for the other. I ask you to take my word into consideration when making your decision.

subject. KNF officer MIA
Today KNF GB +Mako conducted vessel inspection in orbit of NT along with officer Masamune. Report included weapon dealer "Gunsmith" (Luxury liner), Zoner "Payus" (Huntress Cruiser) and Trader in his Camara freighter.
Some suspicious load and incomplete flight recorders were found on "Gunsmith". Questioning him could not make clear this. Nevertheless, there were not enough bodies of evidence for a notification and a fine.
As usual, notorious Mandalores gathered their forces, playing their pet role of NovaPG. GB +Mako and officer Masamune had taken position on Honshu JG and engaged the Mandalores on the spot. They were equipped with bombers and GB +Mako unfortunately not fully equipped with bats and bots. The GB was a hard match for both bombers, when a third Mandalore arrived. Finally GB +Mako felt to Mandalore weapons.
Officer Masamune was fighting brave and before he was destroyed to, justice was brought to at least 1 Mandalore.
Along with officer Masamunes escapepod only 1 escapepod of GB +Mako has been found with 2 crewmembers.
Lieutenant Inuye Toshi and 8 more Crewmembers are missed in action. No traces of their escapepods were found.
Informations of this report were recovered from the escapepods.
You ask me why Im weary, why I cant speak to you.
You blame me for my silence, say Its time I changed and grew.
But the war's still going on dear, and theres no end that I know...
And I cant say if were ever...
I cant say if were ever gonna be free.
