Esteemed representatives,

We contact you in light of a most concerning development. We ask that we are offered any and all available information so that this situation may be solved as soon as possible.

Several minutes prior, we have been briefed about the loss of a cruiser contingent, among which was also a gunboat, in the deeper parts of the Tau systems. We are not aware of the exact location as of this time, thus we have alerted all patrols within the Tau-31 system to search for possible distress beacons laid by the crews. However, as the Armed Forces are not capable of dispatching patrol wings within the Tau-23 and Tau-29 systems until in 48 hours at earliest, we are submitting a request to join forces in search of this lost flotilla.

Please respond with great haste. We are deeply troubled by the situation and rely upon our partners for any support offered.

We've lost contact with a patrol gunboat that mobilized from Barra when Gallic vessels were detected in Tau-31. Last contact with this ship was 19:16 today. It is unknown where or what it was dealing with and is MIA at this moment. The radio operator report states it was with a Bretonian cruiser and ordered them to assist the cruiser. That is all at this moment until we lead a search effort to recover the Hydra class gunboat, and its black box.

For those we left behind.

Bretonians, Crayterians.
Radio Operator Kijima of the Akatsuki speaking.

We confirm your desire to locate your missing vessels as soon as possible and will wholeheartedly support your forces.
The timeframe of when both parties lost contact to their respective vessels is most concerning, as we are confirming the loss of a warship of our own around the same time.

The IKN-Akagi, a Komainu-class, acted in swift response to a Gallic intrusion into the Tau-29 system, they reportedly disposed of the threat after having chased them into the Tau-31 system. Exactly eleven minutes and twenty-three seconds later, contact with the vessel ceased, last known position was in direct vicinity of the natural anomaly connecting the prior named Tau systems. We managed to detect a faint signal and managed to decode parts of a seemingly interrupted transmission containing extracts of the Akagi's blackbox.

Transmission piece

The Admiralty was informed about the situation and accepted that we will temporarily permit Crayter and Armed Forces vessels of up to Cruiser-classes into Tau-29 for the duration of the search and rescue activities. The Akatsuki will dispatch wings to aid our mutual efforts in recovering our lost vessels. The Commander is convinced that this is no coincidence, especially with the sudden appearance of Gallic warships in mind. We urge all rescue forces to remain highly cautious and dispose of any Gallic vessel interfering with this operation immediately.

In service of Kusari,
Radio Operator, Shido Kijima

Esteemed representatives,

We remain committed to solving this incident in the days to come. It is reassuring to receive news that both Crayter and Kusari warships will take part in the search and rescue operations, however we want to also bring other news.

We now confirm that the lost warship is the HMS Mary Rose, a Crecy-class Destroyer, that was dispatched to the deeper regions of the Taus in tandem with a Crayter Republic gunboat and fighter escorts. While we are concerned by the reports of the missing Akagi just as much, we do not believe that the incidents are directly related. The Mary Rose' last reported position was adjacent to the Tau-29 Jump Gate in the Tau-31 system.

The HMS Macduff will be dispatching fighter wings to Tau-29 in several hours. Rescue efforts will begin immediately, nevertheless we will relocate a cruiser flotilla from the Leeds system to also assist the Kusari Naval Forces' main units. Thank you for the swift and decisive responses.

Good luck to all involved. We will update the situation once all units are in position to begin, or should there arrive any reports of the missing ships.

Cruiser force "Tyran" of the "Hermes Recon Core" with it's escorts have been deployed and en-route to Tau-29 from Yuma. They will be starting their search around the Tau-31 anomaly within 29. Whatever happened out there, none of those ships would have gone down without a fight. Surely there must be a sign left behind that can start a lead. It's been confirmed the missing Hydra-class gunboat had the callsign Maxim and departed from Barra on a response call of gallic intrusion. It can only be suspected a gallic war vessel could be the reason for this disappearance. That is all.

For those we left behind.

Esteemed representatives,

As per operations that have been conducted on this day, we are hereby announcing that no vessels have been found. Search teams have scouted the north, south and west regions of the Tau-29 system since the 27th of December, with inconclusive results.

This is an unfortunate series of events, and we will continue to search for any traces of the missing ships in the Edinburgh and Tau-31 systems in the months to come. Nonetheless, we also wish to transmit that Her Majesty's Armed Forces are reducing the presence in Tau-29 and effectively withdrawing from the search operations in the system.

We hope that collaborative efforts will continue between the Crayter Republic and the Empire of Kusari in coming weeks. The Admiralty Board wishes the best of luck.

Bretonians, Crayterians.
Radio Operator Kijima of the Akatsuki speaking.

In the light of the inconclusive nature of this operation, the Akatsuki and her forces return to standard protocols. This includes the cessation of the permit for Cruiser-class vessels of Bretonian and Crayterian to travel into Tau-29. Two fightercraft wings will engage into extensive search and rescue operations for the coming 6 weeks. Fightercraft of Bretonian and Crayterian origin are welcomed to join the local wing leader.

The loss of these vessels is a horrible turn of events and shall stand as a grim reminder that the Taus remain a dangerous place requiring each and everyone's dedication to safeguard.

Esteemed representatives,

The Admiralty Board wishes to inquire on the reaction of the Empire of Kusari and the Republic of Crayter should the Kingdom of Bretonia launch a third attempt to damage the Gallic Navy installations within the Orkney system.

We hope to hear back at soonest.

We find ourselves in a change of position. Gallia has made sure of that, with its multiple violations against Crayter. Time they learn the consequences of their actions. We do not have any heavy artillery available to aid in the destruction of any "facilities" but you can find our patrols helpful. We will send parties to screen the system and distract any resistance. Glory to the Republic.

For those we left behind.
