Masaru Takeda reporting,
Ohayō, today me and Kyokotsu went behind enemy lines to cause a little bit of trouble. However, we ended facing four very angry Rheinlanders which three of them I took with me into hell. Glory for the Emperor!
This is everything for now.

It appears neither diplomatic or military measures were taken since my last report, and we consequently reaped bad results from it. With our lines reorganizing to defend Honshu, we had reports that GMG was still holding in Sigma-21, and doing their best to harass Rheinlander's logistics and rear guard, to put them off guard.
While contacting our liaison with GMG paramilitary, I was informed of an ongoing attack by GMG on Rheinland Military assets, centered around what appeared to be a provisional installation on Saigon orbit. Clearly the Rheinlanders are eager to entrench their newly taken space and exploit the resources within.
After the GMG managed to rout the RM units, they resumed their assault on the base in the area. Meanwhile our vessel linked up with the remainder of the battlegroup Hyono who stood behind as a forward observation unit to report on the activities. After that we withdrawn from the system back to forward command post in Hyono battlegroup.

Masaru Takeda reporting,
esteemed high command today I was honored to escort an Intelligence Operative out of Omega-3. I had to make my way through Rheinland first and, was very lucky not to encounter a lot of trouble. However, arriving at Aland Akai Hime was already waiting for me and we decided which way we should take. We ended up venturing through the Omegas as this seemed the safest path for us. As we arrived in Sigma-21 we decided to take a closer look at Rheinlands Military positions, as we were scouting through the system I noticed a station above the "Da Nang Field" and decided to take a closer look, it appeared to hold a neutral stand towards us but upon requesting to dock Akai Hime was denied, we cannot allow this outpost to exist further and we must investigate its purpose. After we scanned the Strausberg and Kolleda we escaped to Honshu and took scans of the Battleship Westfalen. This ends my report, all evidence will be attached now.
This is everything for now.

Konbanwa.
I return from an extensive Intelligence gathering campaign in the Sigmas.
I can confirm Rheinland Military has moved four entire Battle-groups to the front-line. Names and locations are as follows
- Strausberg, Sigma 21 system, approx E6.
- Kolleda, Sigma 21 system, approx C4.
- Westfalen, Honshu system, approx F5.
- Bayern, location unknown; heavily suspected to be positioned deep inside Hiryo Cloud, Honshu system.
As you can see, we were unable to locate battle-group Bayern so far, which is quite concerning. The Sigma 21 system jump-gate construction site might be its next target.
No matter, it might be wise to launch a strike on Battle-group Westfalen, which is currently exposed in open space, while we have three battle-groups currently ready for action in Honshu system.
We have been running surveys in Sigma 15 and Sigma 21 system. Rheinland Military is relying on a quite narrow corridor to supply the front-line, currently going through Frankfurt system / Sigma 15 jump-hole / Sigma 15 / Sigma 21 jump-hole / Sigma 21 / Honshu jump-hole / Honshu.
The most protected area is in Sigma 21 system. It might be commendable to infiltrate strike groups through Gas Miner Guild space - provided we can get agreement with the Guild - to disrupt supply lines in Sigma 15 system of even Frankfurt system, until the four main Rheinland Military battle-group efficiency gets to a dramatic level.
Pushing them back would then be a trivial task.
I stand ready for action!
PS : You can find relevant gun-cams bellow.
PS2 : I would like to commend Sub-Lieutenant Takeda Masaru for his kindness in escorting me back to House Kusari.
Itsubuki wreck, Sigma 21 system
A battle-cruiser is still guarding planet Saigon high orbit
Honshu system jump-gate construction site, Sigma 21 system
We could locate the wreck of Deep Space Engineering transport. There is no evidence this wreck has been boarded yet. Recovering the bodies to House Liberty should be considered
The superstructure has been severely damaged; debris can be found floating in a 22k radius, making navigation hazardous
Battle-group Stausberg, Sigma 21 system
This battle-group is definitely located to secure the supply line coming from Sigma 15 system
Battle-group Kolleda, Sigma 21 system
Battle-group is placed on top Planet Hanoi gravity well, and is keeping a keen watch on Honshu system jump-hole
Frankfurt system jump-gate construction site, Sigma 15 system
This cooperation with House Gallia is concerning. We should prepare for the eventuality of a pincer maneuver by the two Great Houses
Bochum wreck, Sigma 15
House Rheinland has made considerable efforts to absorb Sigma 15 system, yet the wreck remains as a proof striking behind enemy lines is always a possibility
Sigma 15 jump-gate construction site, Frankfurt system
Rheinland Military currently only has a narrow corridor for its supply lines. Sigma 15 system might be the ideal are to disrupt these lines and disorganize the four battle-group that House Rheinland moved ahead
Battle-group Westfalen, Honshu system
Westfalen is currently in open space; a tempting target, no doubt

Masaru Takeda reporting,
esteemed high command, today we ventured again into Frankfurt, to destroy the enemies supply lines. It took a while until we got noticed and some Rheinlanders arrived to defend their Homeland. Our battlegroups engaged combat between Mainz Storage Depot and Mannheim Station in Frankfurt. Unfortunately, our Takeda Class Destroyer was obliterated in the heat of battle. I managed to take down two Rheinland Military Pilots one of them was Konteradmiral Rheinhardt von Ehrenberg. The Rheinlanders won't forget this day so quickly until then we shall return to Frankfurt and sabotage their supply routes. For the Emperor!
This is everything for now.

Today's routine patrol have been... surprisingly eventful.
First target discovered was a Golden Chrysanthemum Spatial carrying a wide variety of cargo crates and escape pods in it's hold.
Poorly armored and equipped, poorly trained, the criminal was engaged, it's vessel steadily dispatched with gunfire and a few well-placed mines. With that concluded, we've proceeded to investigate the next report, catching another Chrysanthemum along with an Outcast Sabre. As the cleaning ensued, the Chrysanthemum took her chance and ran, while Outcast kept running, attempting to escape, and was after all dispatched by a joint gunfire of all the Wyverns present.

Yesterday, Shikoku sensor grid have reported a presence of a specific vessel, so i have went to investigate the signal, launching from New Tokyo. Upon arrival on the scene i have spotted a Chrysanthemum Orchid that have turned away and tried to run upon noticing my approach.
However, the pilot in question decided to instead turn on me, and was forced to eject after a short combat.
The rest of the day have passed without any outstanding events.

Masaru Takeda reporting,
esteemed high command, today the Rheinlanders began their offensive onto Honshu. Our position near Akita Border Station was heavily attacked by several bomber wings and sever Battlecruiser companies. Due to refueling problems, I joined the combat too late and we already suffered heavy casualties. IKN-Kongou a Tokugawa-Class Battleship was destroyed completely, the rescue teams are searching through the remains of the Battleship as we speak. Even though I joined late I managed to take out several bombers and other vessels, with the assistance of the Gas Miners Guild the Rheinlanders finally retreated to coordinate their next attack. After my refuel on Planet Honshu, I returned to Akita only to met by a single Blood Dragon vessel. As my honor demands from me, I offered a free pass and asked him to leave the area. However, my words were meaningless to this Pilot and I had to strike him down. It is a shame to fight a brethren even with their motives they are still our brothers. We need to fortify our position near Akita Border Station or it will be overrun by the Rheinlanders. I will do everything to prevent our position near Akita to fall.
May my ancestors smile upon me!
This is everything for now.

esteemed high command, this is a following report to the one above. Roughly after an hour prior to the battle recorded above the Rheinlanders attacked again! We managed to hold our position at Akita Border Station and defended it until all attackers were obliterated! We lost a Takeda-class destroyer in the heat of the battle.
