Topic: Patrol report
Masaru Takeda reporting,
Ohayō, today I ended up a group of pirates in Kusari, it seemed they sensed my approach in Honshu and ran to the near Sigma's. Due to a friendly Gas Miner I could locate those thiefs in Sigma-17. Watching the Gate waiting for their next victim. Kaisho-ho Hideaki was my wingman, the pirates went for a run, one of them managed to run away into the emptiness of Sigma-17. One of them stood and fought with honor and pride, he had no chance I was the superior fighter. We've returned to Honshu as Shimotsuki reported a Blood Dragon vessel in New Tokyo, unfortunantely we were too late and a Kishiro vessel was destroyed. We weren't able to catch the Blood Dragon, I'm ashamed of our incompetense.
This is everything for now.
Signed,
Takeda Masaru,
Nito Kaii of the Kusari Naval Forces
Preliminary inspections on the newly founded outpost known as Mizaho Supply Facility have been undertaken since the beginning of this week.
Heavy unit Okinoshima was tasked to monitor construction on site to deter any attempt to disrupt operations in the area by criminal organizations like Blood Dragons or Golden Chrysanthemum.
Contact with the founders of this project has also been made while the destroyer was guarding the area, and talks initiated to guarantee House Kusari laws would be respected to the letter by Mizaho administrators.
Heavy unit Okinoshima subsequently moored to the facility once hull integrity was judged as sufficient, and a team of Marines undertook an inspection of its amenities. Their report on the station was judged as satisfactory.
While I do have to return to Battleship Nagumo to oversee the final steps of its evacuation following Admirals Circle orders, I tasked Captain Nakatomi to pursue patrols in the system and to regularly check on any potential development in the vicinity of that newly founded outpost.
In light of recent events in the political field, and the reintegration of IKN staff among the ranks of the Naval Forces, it is my belief that our House military has given up on the noble goal of protecting the Republic and its institutions.
Believing that the imperial influence on the Naval Forces will push our proud nation back to prideful but unjust ways, and not feeling capable to uphold my duties under such circumstances, I hereby present my resignation from my post as KNF Kaisho-ho and of my active service to the Naval Forces. I have already requested the return of personal designated craft back to the arsenal, and the termination of my credentials as soon as the formalities are over.
I bid all that remain to stay true to the path of a soldier, and to place the interests of the people of Kusari above pride or "honor", wherever it might be found.

[SUBJECT] New Tokyo patrol
This is a short report about findings in New Tokyo system.
It seems that some bold citizens decided to build illegal outpost "Dragon Depo" just behind planet New Tokyo.
Soon this outpost will be deconstructed, we are currently waiting for the additional reports from the planetary defence about how that installation appeared.
Our scouts just reported the beginning of a construction site quite close from planet Saigon, presumably of Corsair origin.
66th battle-group has been informed of this development, and will most likely request reinforcements to destroy this new outpost.

[SUBJECT] Sigma-21 events
During the patrol of Sigma-21 system we were met by a hostile corsair force from as it seems Custodi branch.
There were a battleship, bomber and a fighter against our battleship, gunboat and a fighter. Unfortunately, our battleship was lost in a combat, howevere we managed to bring down theirs, bomber vessel was also destroyed and remaing fighter was chased of by one of ours.
A bit later during the trip back to Kazuno, I was hailed by a Apostatas captain. He was not hostile at all and shared some interesting information: *information is classified and can only be viewed by the Admiralty*
Code:

[28.01.2018 16:25:58] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: Si Capitan...But the thing is..I am not able to resist helping them. Should I fail to do so they will become suspicias of me
[28.01.2018 16:26:06] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: and this I must avoid
[28.01.2018 16:26:36] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: Tell me Capitan, is it true the Imperials have returned?
[28.01.2018 16:26:47] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: Well, you simply could turn your attention towards Bretonia, Hessians, Miners, I don't know, you decide where
[28.01.2018 16:27:14] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: If you are forced to help them but don't want, perhaps it is better to focus on a different front then
[28.01.2018 16:27:30] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: Hai, news already spread it seems
[28.01.2018 16:27:35] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: Yes, they returned
[28.01.2018 16:28:03] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: Si, we are on diffirent fronts but the Blood Dragons has forced me to deploy some of my fleet here
[28.01.2018 16:28:36] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: So please do understand that we are not able to turn a blind eye. It will not help out cause
[28.01.2018 16:28:44] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: our*
[28.01.2018 16:29:03] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: Dragons, aye, they frequent here, because of this instalation. Someone unleashed them here like dogs
[28.01.2018 16:29:10] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: And they follow the command of their masters
[28.01.2018 16:29:34] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: Si si..That is the problem
[28.01.2018 16:29:58] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: But you see I represent a group called Apostatas
[28.01.2018 16:30:02] Death: orion2 was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[28.01.2018 16:30:25] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: Now I don't think you know us. So I will give you the short version of who we are.
[28.01.2018 16:30:34] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: That would be great
[28.01.2018 16:31:14] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: We believe that the current Corsairs are too barbaric and not looking towards developing our great Nation
[28.01.2018 16:31:47] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: The ways of the Pirate alone will not sustain us forever. Yet we have the potential for much bigger things...
[28.01.2018 16:31:57] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: Thus Apostatas was formed by us
[28.01.2018 16:32:11] Death: LNS-BlueWing was put out of action by [HF]-Ambralia. (Gun).
[28.01.2018 16:32:13] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: We wish to "modernize" our Empire....
[28.01.2018 16:32:35] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: But we have only been met by resistance by the current CoE
[28.01.2018 16:32:59] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: So we are unable to act openly in our interests...
[28.01.2018 16:33:05] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: Honorable goal, yet, it is a shame that you do not speak for all corsairs, as we can see, some of them are really into piracy
[28.01.2018 16:33:06] Death: Nyone was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[28.01.2018 16:33:09] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: and destruction

[28.01.2018 16:34:42] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: The Apostatas wishes to be on better terms with Kusari and the Kusari Naval Forces
[28.01.2018 16:35:04] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: I see, I'll keep this in mind. Perhaps you can share some information regarding that instalation? What is the purpose of it?
[28.01.2018 16:35:18] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: I am not sure if you will be able to convay this message to your Admirality
[28.01.2018 16:35:32] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: Uhh this station?
[28.01.2018 16:35:42] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: I think you do understand that if the planet to be openly owned by the corsairs in their current state

[28.01.2018 16:36:39] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: That is classified Capitan...if I was cought handing out such information it would be seen as treason
[28.01.2018 16:37:06] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: That already tells quite a lot.
[28.01.2018 16:37:18] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: But...As I said we do not believe in our hermanos ideas
[28.01.2018 16:37:45] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: Custodi, our greek brothers seek to claim Saigon for themselves
[28.01.2018 16:38:09] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: The base is a open reminder to all who comes close to Saigon...

[28.01.2018 16:40:31] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: Good faith I will withdraw my fleet from Sigma 21.
[28.01.2018 16:41:20] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: But I do ask that this information remains between Apostatas and the Kusari Naval Forces
[28.01.2018 16:41:37] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: We are glad to hear that, perhpas you should focus on other Sigma sectors, I bet you will find your true enemies there
[28.01.2018 16:41:43] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: Trying to entrench their position
[28.01.2018 16:42:01] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: It was really unfortunate to hear about the event on Kurile
[28.01.2018 16:42:14] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: Hai, it will not be conveyed to 3rd parties

[28.01.2018 16:42:49] Death: Nyone was put out of action by a hostile vessel.
[28.01.2018 16:43:08] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: They have become weak and unable to take us into the New age
[28.01.2018 16:43:26] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: I hope you will do your best to change that Cordoba-san
[28.01.2018 16:44:01] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: Si Capitan, I just hope that war with Kusari will be avoided. My people can not face another house
[28.01.2018 16:44:36] [KNF]KDS-Hayabusa: Hai, that would be unwise, for both our Houses.
[28.01.2018 16:45:08] ApS|Alexander;Cordoba: Capitan! You see my Empire as a house?

Yet another attempt to build an illegal facility has been detected... This time in Seiran Dust Cloud, Kyushu system.
I'm afraid Kyushu fleet will have to dismantle this unauthorized station without delays.

[SUBJECT] Kyushu distress call
During the patrol of Kyushu system we have received a distress call from the unknown vessel and on the order from Admiral Sakamoto provided long range scanner support during the investigation.
The information received from the found fighter was succesfully transfered to the research facility on the Kyushu. We are also attaching the logs from the field:
