I will make this short this time as I have no time now, my ship needs to go to service and all i think about now is paperwork. Me and Ryu Nakata were on a patrol yesterday and our 'harvest' went well. We targeted on Interspace Commerce convoys going through Kusair and we made those gaijins regret! As they didn't want to pay a tax for passing through our safe teritory they paid with their lives. Whole transport and its crew were devastated.
Later on when I was on my own I did the same thing to Rheinland transport and I took their load with me. I hope this will make all gaijins avoid our precious home - Kusari!
Unfortunately I lost visual data with Interspace Commerce convoy. All I have is this:

Just a short status update after having dusted off my old mamoru and going back into pirating for the AFA. Been mostly hanging around Nagano, Rishiri and occasionally hokkaido, helping samura deal with Gaijins, Ore thieves, Unlicensed miners and taking out any kishiro seen in the area, occasionally but not often dealing with Blood Dragons or Golden Crysanthemums.
I dont have any proof of the following status updates but I give you my word and swear on the Wanabe family honor that I really did do the following things.
- Took out a freelancer who refused to stop and listen to my demands, had to chase him around a bit in Nagano and then Okinawa until he went back to Nagano. He ran out of CMs but had a slight lead on me outside of CM range and tried to flee to Rishiri, the gate didnt allow him or for some other error he didnt go through, started blasting bits and pieces out of his ship and with great strain had to endure some of his fire in the ensuring fight, was succesfull but sustained some damage had to re-arm, refuel and go through some small repairs on planet Tomioka which was done by fine Samura engineers. Went back to Tau-44 to have my Cruise disruptor checked out, was an old model Hornet which was promptly replaced by a reinforced cruise disruptor, courtesy of the Wanabe family treasureI took with me (only a tiny fraction of it however, nothing significant.)
- Took out a zoner with 1000~ units of Platinum Ore after refusing to stop and listen to my demands for about 7 times, was very fair with my warnings but the gaijin still ran. Let the Samura that supplied him go but I reported his name to their Corporate directorate. The 1000 units of platinum ore were handed over to a Samura|- vessel which afaik delivered the remains to shiojiri and gave me two million credits for my troubles
- Took out a kishiro miner in a spatial, asked him what he was doing in the shiojiri mining field and why I should spare his life, didnt get a proper answer and I must admit in my rage I blew him up without taking any evidence, didnt take much for my guns and hellfires to pelt him down to dust.
- Stopped 2 DTJ tagged liberty Ided 5kers in hokkaido, made one of them stop as the other managed to go through a tradelane, I made him pay me 5 million and due to his unfamiliarty with transferring money to accounts I took payment in cash form and due to his arrogance left him with almost no hull left.
- Stopped a OSI Gunboat in rishiri, not sure why he was there but I managed to get 500.000 credits from him, in exchange he asked me if I could inform our leader that if we have any base supply needs to contact OSI first, told him that we do not need the help of gaijins seeing as we have Samura and the Hogosha supplying us but as per the deal and my own sense of honor still told him I would inform HQ. The gunboat felt that he had me overpowered but like a true warrior and angry farmer I held my ground and convinced him that being overpowered does not mean death as I might not be outskilled. That and he was flying a relatively big gunboat with plenty of spots for me to get hits on him. As such an easy target for my Snacs and hellfire missiles.
Next time I will endeavour to take more shots of my victims

This thing should still be functional. Instead of setting up a new communications array on Kagoshima, I have found some men to repair our old transmitter. Please make all your reports to this channel, all AFA members and Samura personal will have access to these documents for future reference.

It appears that the Reavers are more than interested in forming a partnership with the AFA. After some discussion with them yesterday we agreed to a business deal. The Reavers will have 4 Mamorus shipped to them, and in return all bounties claimed with said ships will be paid to the AFA. In the long run I have said they will be given guaranteed a position on our bounty board when it is finally up and running. Needless to say that once the bounty board is up, they will no longer be paying us the money they make with their Mamorus. The transaction can be viewed here: >FILE<
In addition, some traders have been causing some annoyances in Kyushu as of late, specifically the Liberty Trade Shipping group, along with the IMG. Keep an eye on ships from either group.

Konnichiwa,
After recieving some intel from our scanning base Saga Depot, and also getting an anonymous tip from an ally of ours I went out with my heavily armed and armored Raba codenamed Coffee.Beans to try and catch a liberty trader carrying a hold full of gold ore, luckily I struck gold and managed to catch him in his final stretch to Roppongi station. I forced the vessel in question LTS-Columbus[TD] a 5k cargo transport vessel of libertonian make to stop, and dropped a reasonable demand which he paid after the argument I had with him. Included below is a transcript I had with the captain of that vessel.
Having secured the load of credits he sent I went back to kyushu and reported my success on Kagoshima Depot.

Konnichiwa,
I went out with my heavily armed and armored Raba codenamed Coffee.Beans to try and catch some gaijins trading through our fine space in kyushu. And it seems I struck gold again (literally) and managed to catch the LTS-Columbus[TD] again (see previous message dump for more info) I ordered him to stop but he decided to run, after chasing him for a few minutes I was able to get in range enough to drop a cruise disruptor on him and promptly asked him for a very merciful demand of 12.500.000 sirius credits.
This time however he was not as eager to pay as last time and protested, tried to make excuses and buy time for Naval forces to intercept him. As soon as I saw the KDS-Haruna on scanners (A lone Kusari Battleship) I went and charged my guns and destroyed the gaijin for his insolence in making me wait so that he could get back up, I took the1510 units of gold ore from him, destroyed the rest and then hightailed my cruise engines back to Kagoshima depot
The KDS-Haruna Still high on my heels tried to co-oerce me to stop but seeing as he had no cruise disruptor back up I managed to get away unscathed while exchanging 'pleasantries' I advise we add his name to our database of unfriendly Naval Officers
Having secured the load of gold onto Kagoshima (estimated worth 14-15 million) I went and sent a message to both the Black Dragon Society and Samura Heavy Industries about the Gold I secured so that they may sell it to those gaijins on Roppongi. Included below are shots of the encounter and the transcripts
Today me and the pilot behind [AFA]Blazing.Shears went out to scout out that Gaijin built LTS base: Muroto Trade Center. (dont let the name fool you. It is gaijin made) which is located right outside the glorious looking planet of Honshu. We detected that it was a core 4 base, with 2 turrets that currently has plenty of blind shots due to a lack of enough turrets, should we wish to siege it. (We managed to even throw a few anti matter shots at it without being in danger. Using the base as a shield.) Included below is a shot of the base and its 2 turrets. (bottom left corner, top right corner)
Later we managed to pirate a Liberty Luxury Liner of the LTS as well, for 5 million and some credits. Right outside that base aswell. Unfortunately I didn't hammer my guncam taking device hard enough so I did not get any pictures of that. Luckily! I remembered when later 2 of their snub crafts defence wings showed up. info included below:
LTS-Saeqeh[SD]
Ship: Eagle
Loadout: Standard, has a CD Scanning Readout 1
LTS-Horkos[SD]
Ship: Ravens Talon
Loadout: Sidewinder torpedo instead of a CD, otherwise standard Scanning Readout 2
I hope our recon work was satisfactory, in the future I will try to be a bit more precise on loadouts and write down the specific guns and armor they have as well. Still my sixth sense is telling me these people are not that skilled and quite rookie to their ships. Easy target for our elite black dragon fighters to pick off in a fight should they ever collect enough courage.

The new Democracy, funny, I almost wrote that as Democrazy... it seems they have started allowing Rheinlanders to not only cross the border into Honshu, but allow them to enforce Kusari law and their own with virtually unrestricted access. Keep an eye on the border, and be prepared to intercept any Rheinlanders crossing it. Naito Wanabe at Osaka has requested increased security in general because of the possibility of Rheinland criminals crossing the border, so also be wary of them. Although if they start damaging Interspace property we may want to stand back and watch them help us do our job.

Well today was a busy day. It started with an ALG ship full of holosculptures refusing to stop for a scan, I only got a reading on it when it docked on the Samura station in Kyushu. That was a rather standard event these days I feel. After that I traveled out to Tau 29 to acquire a debilitator EMP gun for my Black Dragon to replace the EMP missile I have been using, I feel a direct fire gun is going to be more efficient in the long run. On the way back I encountered an Interspace ship and an LTS vessel.
Things however got very interesting when I returned to New Tokyo. In a comical manner, the Hogosha have apparently set their base defense guns to shoot down GMG ships!
That made my day.
Until I traveled to Okinawa to follow the IC ship from earlier. I have finally figured out how the LTS have been able to bypass us so often... a Liberty Carrier equipped with a jump drive.
I destroyed their fuel supply before trying to neutralize the transports, but the carrier is equipped only with antifighter weapons. It seems that the ships were loaded with helium and preparing to jump to New London. The carrier caused a lot of damage to my bomber, so I had to resupply.Upon returning I found that they had retreated to Fujisawa.
I attacked the transports there, only one paid me not to attack him, but the rest continuously docked and then launched from the base, making it impractical to remain, as no progress was being made.
Yesterday was a difficult day for me. I received some info that Synth foods ships were in New Tokyo and i launched my Mamoru. Because it was docked in Okinawa at the time i had to pass through the Honshu system to get to them. On the tradelane next to the Honshu to New Tokyo jump gate i found a freelancer that appeared to be kusarian so i tried to convince him to join me in the fight against the evil gaijin. Unfortunately he was scared his ship could not handle a fight and maybe he was right because the Synth foods fighters soon jumped into the system and attacked me. One of them died to my mines guncam data but as i was fighting him a KNF bomber joined the fight as well as another farmer.
I tried to kill the other gaijin and ignore the KNF but he managed to hit my bomber with an antimatter cannon. Maybe we should delete this officer from the list of those loyal to Kusari.
This is the flight log

After this my pod drifted through space and i could see the other farmer was shot down too. But luck was on my side, the freelancer returned and tractored my pod, the rest you can read here: Comm channel
Maybe we can recruit this brave freelancer my brothers.
