[color=#FF9900]Planet Kyushu, Kusari space. 817 A.S. September 24th.
Strange news from our glorious empire's breadbasket! It would seem that, over the past few months, the planet has suffered heavily under the disappearance of a large number of its farmers and workers. According to our latest information, at least fifty people disappear PER DAY! Who? What? How? Why, you ask? No one knows. According to the few witness reports we have, those missing would simply go home every night like they always would, but fail to show up at work the next morning.
Sleeping in? Attending late parties? Lost their way? Perhaps some form of silent rebellion? We asked one of the farmers from sector C-6 who claims his brother in-law was 'taken away' not too long ago.
"Tell me, Mister Horiato, what exactly did you see the night your brother in-law disappeared?"
"Well, I-I-I w-was w-w-walking t-to his h-hut when, a-a-aall of a s-sudden, I w-w-was knocked down b-b-by this s-s-shock w-w-wave. I f-f-fell down on t-to the ground a-a-nd saw t-two ships fly away from a f-f-field n-nearby."
"Two ships, you say? What did these ships look like?"
"I r-r-recognized them f-from the p-p-pictures. B-b-Blood Dragons! S-strangely e-e-nough, i-it l-l-looked like they w-w-were e-engulfed b-by this m-m-mist. L-like, like, g-g-host ships!"
"Ghost ships, you say? Interesting. What about your brother in-law?"
“I r-r-ran to his h-hut a-after a f-f-few moments . It was c-c-completely t-t-rashed. B-b-but n-no sign of h-him. A-after t-t-that, I quickly r-ran to t-the rest of the g-g-group, and informed t-the a-a-authoriti-ies."
"There you have it, Hirokisha-san. Ghosts ships, Blood Dragon terrorists and disappearing people. The truth? A terrorist attack? Perhaps a little too much to drink? Who knows? In any case, the farmers are -terrified-.

Witnesses report a large explosion behind planet Kyushu! A Samura convoy spotted the huge explosion from over 25K away, claiming it 'must have been something huge. Like a train.' One of the escorts claims he saw Kusari Naval forces Chimaera's leaving the scene, though this has yet to be confirmed by the local authorities.
