Our forces initially gathered near the Battleship Yamaguchi where Ame-Chan's destroyer was undergoing minor maintainence after routine patrols
and requested to take part into the action.
The High Command approved and disposed, given the heavy support, a direct assault to planet Leeds confident that we would have been able to cause substancial damage.
Our attack force was subject to an ambush by the Bretonia Armed Forces
with support from a Golden Crysanthemum Kiretsu and a Mandalorian Mercenary that disrupted the trade lane to the planet.
We immediately left formation and engaged the enemy fighters.
Ame-Chan's destroyer opened fire on the enemy destroyer eventually crippling it after some minutes,
but was then subject to heavy fire and lost containment before be able to escape.
After that we proceeded testing each target awareness in order to possibly find a weak spot but almost every one of them was very skilled and prepared.
We managed to take down some more fighters but not without casualties on our side too and had to retreat to save pods.

My reverences High Command,
Please find enclosed my report of my regular patrol through Honshu system.
Yesterday around 23H30 SMT+2, I was taking the Trade Lane between Osaka storage facility and the Border station when suddenly the sensors detected a hugue ship on the other end of the tradelane. The ship was at least 10 time bigger than my chimaera. IDed as Zoner. NeuralNet database indicate the ship was registered under the name Freeport-17 .
I opened a transmition to the Captain and told him that Zoners are welcome in Kusari space but that we didn't expect them to travel with such capital ship.
I asked him what was his destination and what he was doing in Honshu. He answered me that he was doing some missions for GMG and that he was heading to sector 6C in Honshu. He assured me that he had no other plans and that he would leave the system afterward.
I told him that it was fine but that I needed to escort him in order to both monitor his activity and reassure Kusari citizen about his presence here.
The Captain shown that he was trustworthly and respected his words. Once he finnished his assignment he returned to GMG base and then left the system. Furthermore, I scanned his cargo and there were nothing illicit or regulated in it.
I escorted him until the Sigma gate where he left the system into Sigma.
Please find attached for your reverence one of the screen took by the capture device (others are at your disposal on Delta Comm).

My references High Command,
Please find enclosed the report of my regular patrol into New Tokyo System:
Yesterday around 18H30 (SMT +2), I was leaving planet New Tokyo when my sensors alerted me of the presence of hostile ships around.
The signal disappeared suddenly as it came, it seemed clear that the hostiles ships were at the border of my sensor's range.
In order to investigate I took the trade lane in the direction of Shinjuku to patrol the area.
But on my way to Shinjuku the Trade Lane was disrupted and I discovered the hostiles ships.
2 GCs and 1 Blood Dragon, identified in NeuralNet as Rin.Masaki,Ayumi.Tatsushiro and Kamisori , all three pirating the honest citizen that felt in their ambush.
On my arriva, they laughted and decided to attack me all at the time, probably expecting a quick victory.
But I resisted as long as I could, thanks to the Dodge Training I received in Hiroshima, I was able to avoid most of their fire but difficultly able to hit them back...
The battle seemed to last forever...but little by little I depleted mines, shields, nanos, even if I was able at soem time to break their shield down they were always able to restore it, the time was playing in their favor... The smoke of my burning hull was alterating my vision and I had only 3 nanos left, I used them, I was decided to keep fighting until the end, even if I was unable to destroy a single ship.
And then at that moment, when all seemed over.. the unexpected happened.
A big ship IDed as Hogosha arrived in the area: [l]Kokuryu
<<"Do you need help officer?]>
<<"YES]>
The battle balance changed drastically, our enemies coordination seemed broken.
Hogosha eliminated one of the GC, and then our jointed fire make the last GC flee.
No trace of the blood dragon though, in the confusion of the battle I lost his track at some moment.
I thanked Kokuryu for saving my life. He offered me nanos and shield to repair my ship.
It was a great day indeed, I seen the death in front of me, I fought a battle that seemed lost in advance, and an almighty help arrived to change the destiny.
I tried to know more about him, his identity... he otld me his name is Hitomi Ryuu,... he also added something about kumicho and Black Dragon.
Quite misterious, hardly ever heard about them before, yet I was too dizzy to try to find out more.
I returned to New Tokyo to repair my ship and take some rest.
Please find attached some captures from the record device.
The captain of the Gunboat simply mumbled something about ''having full guard rep, but didn't want to buy a KNF guard ID'', so we have reasons to suspect this is another case of a Freelancer stealing Military technologies for his personal fame. As we disrupted him to interrogate him, the man seemingly took offense and opened fire on both me and the Samura. Sadly, my guncam was damaged during the fight and I couldn't take a good picture of it. Unable to efficiently fight back, we were forced to pull out.
So, I was Undergoing further training in Tau 31 when I noticed some samura ships make their way into Leeds; fearing the worst, I went to make myself useful. I arrived to find Samura|-kushanir,Samura|-kouji honourable samura pilots, being harried by waves of bretonnian templars. Of course, I rushed the wings and did what I could, the samura convoy escaped succesfully; though they would doubtless have done so anyway. I recieved a secure comm from the Kushanir alerting me to a Baf prescence in the system, and so I became a sentinal at stokes for a time.
Waves of underequipped mollys, baf, and bpa failed in their attempts at the station; thanks mainly to the heavy patrol in that area. Then the baf threat appeared, a lone bomber pilot, making their way to LD-14. The Challenger pilot (I could be mistaken in this) and I traded insults for a short while, before he made his approach, and we fought perhaps 5 clicks from stokes. Target
The Duel was often interrupted by passing patrols; but despite this interference from various wings of weaker ships, we managed to duel unhindered for a while. I did manage to inflict some damage upon the ugly hull, before an ion storm forced us to shelter. The engagement gave me hope that I can begin to reclaim my honour, I have still not found fathers watch, and I swear I almost heard him recently.
Today, we were moving the Bakumatsu, for sunday's escorting mission. During that task, we met a Corsair cruiser in front of planet Junyo in Shikoku. The name of the ship was HAF-R-Dino.Cazares. After several demands to turn back and return the way it came, he continued advancing in direction to New Tokyo. For his disrespect toward the Kusari Naval Forces's authority, I ordered to destroy the corsair cruiser, which has been done. HAF-R-Dino.Cazares's destruction
Resuming with our main task of re positioning the Bakumatsu, we moved into New Tokyo, where one bomber from the CS were awaiting for us. With the possibility of falling into a trap, the Bakumatsu opened fire in the mentioned vessel. This vessel was equiped with some sort of cloaking device, which allowed it to jump from one place to another without being hit by our gunners. After several minutes of trying to connet a shot on it, two other CS sh?ps arrived to the scene. Two trident gunships came from Hokkaido's direction. Apparently the cloaking device on the bomber denied him to use his guns. With that little extra luck, the Bakumatsu was able to eliminate both of the gunships. CS Gunship 1CS Gunship 2
Finally, we moored at planet New Tokyo, where we will wait until sunday, for our special escort mission.

My reverences High Command,
Please find enclosed the report of my regular patrol on New Tokyo.
Friday around 4H00 (SMT+1) hile I was scanning cargo in front of Planet New Tokyo I was contacted by my brother in arm [KNF]Koudai.Hayate
He told me he had to withdraw from Leeds system and was chased by 4 Mandalorean mercenaries.
After a few exchanges Hayate-san proposed as strategy to wait them in Planet New Tokyo and hold the ground until reinforcement would arrive.
This reveled to be the winning strategy, few time fter we regrouped in New Tokyo, the Mandalorean attacked us, they were only 3 at that time but the fight was beginning to be tense when the first reinforcment arrived. It was at the beginning some KSP and KNF unamed soldiers that weren't able to deal with thm but at least they helpedus holding the ground and waiting for mro reinforcement. At last, a battleship appeared and opened fire against the Mandalorian. One of them fell undr such fire power: MM~Bill Bishop and they tried to bring us out of the range of the Battleship, but we didn't fell in the trap and waited for their next attack.
They came again to the charge and another one of them was put out of action.
Finally, the last of them MM~Samuel Hennesey understood that he wouldn' be able to face us alone and left the battlefield.
I would like to thanks Hayate-san, his experience, ability in fight, and tactical skill was the one who made this battle a victory!
New Tokyo was saved this day. But we should tak care, now the enemies of Kusari are able to make commando attack deep inside Kusari territory, even Planet New Tokyo seems into their range.

My reverences High Command,
Please find enclosed the report of my regular patrol on New Tokyo.
Today around 16H00 (SMT) we were notified that Outcast were pirating a trade lane at sector D5.
On my way I met another brother in arm named Murita~Miajagi
And we also obtained support from an Hogosha: [|]Hitoyoshi
The outcast name was RED_ALERT he wasn't very communicative, but obviously hostile.
His ship has a great firepower but he couldn't deal wth 2 chimera at the same time.
We were able to finnish him quickly and the calm returned to New Tokyo.
I'm honored to keep serving the Empire, and I'll keep defending it with all my strength.
As it had been previously established, Leonardo's flight has been done today at 20:00 hs STM. Daisa Saburo Sakai onboard of the Akizuki, and Chusa Kiith Triikor onboard of the Fukusho awaited for the Zoner fleet at the Tau 23 jump hole, in Kyushu. While, the Tawakemono, commanded by myself, was standing by outside of the asteroid field.
As Daisa Sakai suggested, we stablished delta formation, with the Tawakemono as forward point, and the two gunboats covering from the back. We didn't get into any nasty situation, and the convoy arrived to Akita station. The zoner scouts detected a nomad fleet moving toward Kusari, from Sigma 19. The Leonardo was forced to take the Sigma 13 way instead, while a part of the Order squadron went to confront the Keepers.
The Leonardo moved to Sigma 13, and as the Zoners requested, we didn't move forward.
The Tawakemono returned to his position at Hiroshima.

My reverences High Command,
Please find enclosed the report of my patrol around 20H13 (SMT+1).
Today I met officer K of Kusari Intelligence and we decided a joint patrol on Kyushu sector.
When we arrived there, we met an Hogosha by the name of The.Rising.Sun and we started discussing about recent event when a Researcher vessel by the name of Misericordia was passing with a full cargo of Gaian Wildlife.
I order him to halt and explained him the Kusari law. He tried at the beginnign to discuss the ruels but seing us 3 around him he finally resigned in paying the fine (2 Millions).
I asked him to dock on Planet Kyushu and let the cargo to the official on base.
I verified that he docked to the planet but could confirm with the official on planet to check he really gavethe cargo. I suggest keeping him watched to be sure he won't recidive.
With all respects.

My reverences High Command,
Please find enclosed the report of my patrol around 20h29 (SMT+1).
While I was watching onthe smuggler docking to the planet. My colleague officer K went to Honshu.
The.Rising.Sun and I separated to resumeeach ones our duty. Unfortunatly, on the tradelane between Planet Kyushu and the Jump Gate to New Tokyo I got intercepted by weak Blood Dragon pilot. I had no difficulties in getting rid of them but when I finnished there were 3 outcast on my sensors and no time to get back to Planet.
Unfortunatly they surrounded me and asked me for money, I knew the battle was not winnable but I decided to defend my honor and sacrifice rather than showing weak against the Outcast.
I sent an emergency call for reinforcment and tried to retain them as much as possible.
But I failed..... I was only able to stand 20 seconds against them before my ship got destroyed. I waked up 5 horus later in Shinjuku. It seems the rescue team was ableto extract my body from the burning hull.
Nonobstant I swore I will have vengance after this day!!!!
With all respects.
Signing off.

My reverences High Command,
Today was a crazy day. The best fiction were outdated by Reality in on single time windows in Kusari space:
I irrupted in the middle of Reinland/Liberty fight in New Tokyo
Was threatened by LSF official inside Kusari
Fooled by Reinlander
fought side by side with Libertonian against reinlander (still in new tokyo)
and pursued one of the reinlander freelancer up to Honshu before we lost his track
Please find my detaileld report of event.
I understand that the events happened today might be escalated and cause diplomatic issue. Yet I swore that all the things hapened as I stated and I can name hereby 2 honorable witnesses: [AFA]Takashi.Sato and [|]Hitomi.Ryuu
Today in the tradelane near Rita outpost. I arrived into the middle of a confuse fight involving miners, reinlander, liberty ship and an LSF official.
It seemed after a while that the fight was divided into two camp, Reinlander against LSF.
I asked them to sotp imemdiatly the fight and explain the situation. But they didn't listen to me and continued fighting, I noticed few secs after that Sato-kun was drawn into the fight and got gunned down by a Reinlander Freelancer: Madcom.X
The 2 fighting parties accepted to stop and we all went to Rita station to get explanation, the talk were very confuse indeed.
Here you can find an extract of the record device:
[AFA]Takashi.Sato: LSF in Kusari
[AFA]Takashi.Sato: halt
Krg|Hans.Almender: he isnt LSF
[AFA]Takashi.Sato: Bretonian freith
Krg|Hans.Almender: his transponder may be broken
[KNF]Shiki.Tohno: where is he right now?

[KNF]Shiki.Tohno: on my way
[AFA]Takashi.Sato: You come here in Bretonian Freighter?
Bank.'O.Rocks: for it, I shall take 2000 ore
Golem: Konnichiwa, honorable Samurai.
Krg|Hans.Almender: you destroying an Universal vessel?
Anon: you guys are oorp\\

[KNF]Shiki.Tohno: hey what's going on here?
Anon: you're a miner!

Death: Grid was put out of action by Hazard (Gun).
Anon: dont give me that, a miner just pirated
Bank.'O.Rocks: That Bretonian *spits*
Somnambulic.Profits: Miners pirating? That's preposterous.
Bank.'O.Rocks: Should not be here
[KNF]Shiki.Tohno: everone stop and tell me what happened
Boulder.Balls: Who would do such a thing?
[KNF]Shiki.Tohno: LSF, in all case, what are you doing in Kusari?
Krg|Hans.Almender: he wasnt bretonian
[KNF]Shiki.Tohno: Anon
Death: Hazard suffered a self inflicted catastrophic decompression.
[KNF]Shiki.Tohno: I am talking to you
Boulder.Balls: Opening fire on Anon..
Boulder.Balls: Last time you make that mistake..
Anon: he just pirated us
Death: [AFA]Takashi.Sato was put out of action by Mr.Malcom (Gun).
After a while, and explication becoming more and more complex it appeared that the two verisons of the fact was totally different and one must have been false.
At that time Black Dragon Society Member arrived in the field: [|]Hitomi.Ryuu .
He told me that he could vouch for bank and profits telling the truth and engaged the Reinlander.
As I didn't doubt one second of the honor of this Hogosha, I joiend the fight and engaged the Reinlander. Libertonian ship joined us in the fight and it took long before we were able to take the upper hand.
Finally only remained the Reinlander Freelancer Malcom.X that escaped to Honshu after a brave battle holding his ground.
We tried to pursue him but he managedto reach Sigma 13 before us.
Today was a sad day but at least we were there to handle the case.
Althought the Libertonian seemed to have been attacked, they couldn't explain the presence of LSF officer in the middle of Kusari.
Please find all the ship names involved in the last events (althought role not very clear):
Anon (LSF official vioalting Kusair space - said as escort - )
MR.Malcom
Boulder.Balls
Bank.'O.Rocks (apparently victim of reinlander attack)
Somnambulic.Profits (apparently victim of reinlander attack)
Krg|Hans.Almender
