Blood Dragon raid was reported in Honshu system. I encountered two of their bombers between Yukawa and planet Honshu. They were fleeing, but pirating in Kusari does not remain unpunished. I followed them to Chugoku system, there they made their stand and attacked me. But one of the bombers was soon
destroyed:
After this both side got reinforcements, I was joined by Sabayai in his Wyrm and another bomber joined on their side. After some intense fighting one more blood dragon bomber came, but it would appear that it was scrambled very fast since it didn't had any nanobots or shieldbatteries on board. A mercenary bomber offered me his services and as we were outnumbered I hired him.
Then an Outcast destroyer came to help the Blood Dragons, but it soon fell to our firepower:
One of the Blood Dragon bombers then transferred all his nanobots to the newly arrived one that was heavily damaged, this however cost the Blood Dragon his own life:
Sabayai's Wyrm then fell to the fire from the Dragon ships, but [KNF-K] Jade came to help. One of the Dragon bombers experienced some control problems and was destroyed by the mercenary:
The last remaining Dragon fled under heavy fire to the deepest Tau systems. The mercenary received 1million credits for his help.
After this long fight my bomber needed some repairs so I jumped to my Chimaera and proceeded at best speed to the Kyushu system, due to reports of some lady pirating traders.
I found a GC Eagle at planet Kyushu and engaged. With the help of arriving [KNF-K]Jade the eagle was soon destroyed with minimal damage on my ship:
Sakai out

Igiss says: Martin, you give them a finger, they bite off your arm.
I told Virus to hold down for scan, when scanned I found 1000 cardime in his cargohold
I said to drop the cargo or I have to use force, he replied, by dropping the cargo,
cargo was destroyed at sight,
later I saw a Kusari Battleship named lkaro he carried a FA ID with naval forces tag,
He refused to give a direct answer on my question,
also I escorted a BMM out of kusari together with bd Foo, I told him to drop his cargo and that he be escorted out of kusari, he replied : Im not a baby, I can get out myself. I replied he Will be escorted out, or I release the Bd,
on my patrol I had No contraband spotted,
I did saw a Liberty navy vessel and a liberty police vessel,
I escorted them out of shikoku back to kepler,
later I spotted a NOVAPG in a starflyer lvl 50, I told him that I am alloewd to shoot him,
he said are you knf gone shoot a empty starflyer, I replied with: not now just gine chase you.
when I entered kyushu I saw a luxeryliner with a full load of plutonium,
I halted him, and asked where that cargo was going too,
He replied: to newcastle.(thats bretonia), soI ordered him to sell it at the nearest base in kusari, he said he wont do that, I followed him to the leeds gate, in total 5 warnings(its a luxery liner to big for a chimeara) he also wanted to bribe me with 5 mill, didnt accepted it.
I atached some photo's with this report
I hope he will be placed on the criminal list,
these are the crimes he commited:
arguing with a KNF member(maybe it aint a crime),
not compying to the orders,
selling plutonium to bretonia(I think that is helping the enemy)
and trying to kill me,

The newly constructed Chikuma had it's first patrol today and it was by far not uneventful.
While scanning incoming goods at Akita station an Outcast gunboat came from Sigma 13 system and decided to attack emperor's vessel!
Even though his ship was heavily armored he was soon running away without a single scratch on emperors ship
Later in the afternoon I was warned about another Outcast gunboat in the Shikoku system. I found it above Junyo attacking KNF patrols. His ship was destroyed without any damage recieved.
One fleet admiral as well as many other KNF, BHG and Civilian pilots were rescued.
I was heading back to New Tokyo, but as I jumped from Shikoku I was suddenly hit by two Supernova shots even before the crew could board battlestations!!!
Two Blood Dragon bombers!!
The crew put up a glorious fight, but the ship was constantly taking damage. In a desperate effort we jumped back to Shikoku hoping that Ohashi border station will provide cover.
But somehow Okashi's guns didn't target the Blood Dragons!! I will make necessary inquiries what caused that error.
Luckily an allied destroyer supplied us with extra nanobots and after that the Light Mortar gunner ensign Tamaka scored a hit on one of the bombers obliterating him. The gun camera failed however.
The remaining blood dragon fled to the Kyushu system with me and a Farmers Alliance fighter in pursuit.
Ensign Tamaka asked if he can try his luck with Light Mortar again and after he was given a go he obliterated the second bomber as well!!!! A true hero. I'm promoting him to my main gun officer momentarily.
It has been a very busy week for me, I was grounded or on board the Sado for most of the time but I have been able to take out the Kurashiki for some long duration blockades and patrols.
Diamonds/Niobium traffic flows fine and most of ships scanned resulted clear.
Minor criminal activity.
Of notable interest.
A Harverster vessel 10 resisted arrest at NT blockade by fleeing.
Later catched by the BHG Kun-Laan who saved the prisoners (High Command on Alpha Comms for details).
While guarding New Tokyo Planet a Bretonian agent called William Stephenson engaged the Kurashiki, while dodging heavy fire he managed to scan the ship to acquire tactical informations before retreating towards Shinjuku Station.
Unfortunately for him I'm about to change Kurashiki ordinance after the tests planned with the Chikuma, new destroyer in command of Daisa Sakai, will take place.
The Kurashiki spotted a Dragon Gunboat called Fluffy near Akita Station with 10 civillian prisoners on board.
Ship's ordinance quickly managed to lower target shields and do considerable damage to hull, a retreat attempt took place.
While in persuit my ship was hit by an ion storm and when we repaired systems the target was out of range.
Right thereafter a Liberty Navy transponder started to flash on scanners.
Identified as 'Alex135'.
I have personally informed him regarding the recent applied Kusari Codex before escorting him out of Kusari by the nearest exit (Sigma-13).
Two days later (yesterday) I was in my bomber to help Souseiseki in orientation missions.
He seems a smart warrior and average skilled pilot at a first glance.
I reccomend his enlisting for some flights with Daisa Sakai combat instructor.

While on patrol in the New Tokyo system me and Souseiseki encountered a Blood Dragon battleship accompanied by a Blood Dragon bomber at Yokohama shipyard! How come the Dragons managed to construct something that big! And how come they managed to get as far a Yokohama unnoticed?
The shipyard defenses responded but even with the help of our two Chimaeras the shields on the Battleship didn't move!
Souseiseki's Chimaera was soon destroyed by a salvo from the Battleship. I evaded for my life and awaited reinforcements.BHG GB and a Hogosha bomber came to assist but the GB soon fell to the fire from the Battleship. Another Farmer's Alliance gunboat came and shared the same fate...Then more help came, Kusari State Police fighter, Akamoto in his Chimaera and 2 BHG Gunships that were aware of the bounty on pirates in Kusari. The Blood Dragon bomber managed to flee but the fate of the battleship was settled.
Here split second before it blew up:
and the fireworks:
We also managed to recover some of the treasures stored onboard the ship and with Haruko-san's help we managed to transfer them to Chikuma.
Bounty hunters were instructed to contact high command for payment.
Let's hope this strikes a blow to the Blood Dragon activities for the near future.
Sakai out

While on patrol in the Honshu system today my bomber was attacked without warning by a Bounty Hunter Battlecruiser callsign <BountyHunter>Cross. Soon a Blood Dragon battleship came to his "aid" and together they chased me all the way to Battleship Sado in the Hiroshima system.
Sado's firepower proved more than a match for both of them and they soon left the system.
I hereby announce that the Bounty Hunter Battlecruiser with callsign <BountyHunter>Cross is to be killed on sight in whole Kusari space as well as Tau systems.

Today my patience was greatly put to the test.
While en route to join warriors about to enter the Taus for search and destroy missions, I run across a KoF identified vessels and a fellow trader both cruising in Hiroshima and jumping to NT, carrying engine components.
As I stopped them after the jump hole they were found totally ignorant of the current laws, even the Hiroshima sanctity.
As Engine Components for export are restricted, I asked what their destination was and they refused to comply for irrelevant reasons (ever heard private communications?).
I'm afraid of learning the KoF is allowing their representatives to fly around Sirius without knowning the local laws and I'm writing a notification of the incident to their CEO right now.

While engaging in bomber training with Captain Sakai, we received a distress signal from the GMG saying we had NovaPG in system. I was the first to find them between Osaka, Shock in a bomber, and Banshee's fighter. Soon the Captain came into range and Shock broke off and engaged him.
Since Banshee was draining my shield I turned to engage him. first his shield was hit with a mini razor, and then his hull. By this time, Captain Sakai had relieved Shock of his ship with a supernova. Soon after another Dragon came into range, Gauntlet, at the same time Kureno Saitou showed up in a gunboat to help us out.
Both dragons fled to Tau-63 when the gunboat came into range, but the gunboat's missiles proved true as Banshee was shot down.
Gauntlet was another story, he dodged for quite some time letting the defense try to whittle us down. I began to move around hitting weapon's platforms with supernovas. The fighter's hull slowly falling. Eventually another set of missiles found their home.
As we returned to Honshu, we found a Mandalore traitor. We chased him around before he could jump to New Tokyo, he begged us to let him escape. His pleas were met with the Captain's cry "We do NOT forget."
Soon after I cracked his hull with a supernova and Captain Sakai and I returned to Battleship Sado in one piece.
