Today we have struck another blow into the belly of the beast, the Kusari Naval Forces have lost one of their prized vessels. On my regular patrol I jumped from New Tokyo system to the Shikoku system because I picked up increased vessel activity in the system over my long range scanner.
Upon arriving there I entered the trade lane to continue moving through the system, when I saw a group of ships near the trade lane, so I exited and stopped my engines. Immediately I saw a Naval vessel that had a large transpoder signature, and when I entered the visual range of the vessel I determined that it was a Naval Destroyer.
When the Naval Commander spotted my ship he ordered his gunners to target me. I powered up my weapons and shields and set my targeting sensors to the Naval vessel named Magellan. But the Blood Dragons have emerged victorious from yet another battle!
I managed to take a single gunshot of the destruction of the vessel but one of the vessels that was nearby managed to take another one with visual confirmation that it is a Naval Destroyer. And as you can see I upgraded my communications console.
My nickname is Red Dragon, as I was never given a name. I may have had the honour of flying alongside you before or not. Today was my first step into the core systems of Kusari my first step out of Chugoku. I was accompanied by Brother, whose ship call sign was Hakai. Together we made our way towards a populated area in hopes to further our cause in taking over Kusari and putting the Taishogun and the Hideyoshi Shogunate back on their rightful throne.
Once we arrived, we began to try and hinder the Gaijin that are appearing so commonly in Kusari space. Despite the Gaijin count, the very first vessels was saw were not Gaijin, but the traitorous Kusari Naval forces. I can quite remember their names my head… It still hurts from what they did to me. They wanted me to… surrender and let them take me into their ways, needless to say I wouldn't give my honour up that easily. During one of their attempts to arrest me, one of them used some type of sorcery on me, forcing images into my mind. It first showed Kusari then rushed me into the unknown omicrons beyond. The treacherous coward used this tactic to distract me while he started up his weapons systems. Luckily for me, my reflexes kicked in before he got a shot off. After a deadly fight I emerged victories from my battle with my foe, I then moved into help Haikai. But something strange happened after I started to engage the other KNF. I was consumed by the images again but this time…. They didn't go away, I blacked out after that. I can't remember much about it……….
I can still see the images….. hear the voices…. I have a headache….. I need to lay down… coming up on an arch structure cant….. stay awake… must rest.
Me and my fellow brothers today intercepted a Freelance Zoner Gunboat aking scans of Chugoku. We eliminated the intruder and recovered the data from the craft and destroyed it.
Now i alone intercepted a Recon Cruiser stating him and his crew defected from the Order.
Here are some gun cam shots.
Here you see me trying to escort him away from that structure and an attempt to bring him to justice.
After i escorted him away from the Chugoku Hole he decided to dock at Kyoto. Very Dishonourable proceedure. He then stayed seated in the asteroid field.
I warn you about this one. He opened fire on a few Order pilots later on that evening.
Now i must retire to my quarters.
Kintaki Minato Out.
Yet no response.
Still silence. My scanners picked up long range transmissions to other vessels.
I have some news for you. Today while i was flying through New Tokyo i received a hail from a fellow Dragon, Kintaki Mintano, who informed me that there was an unidentified vessel in Chugoku. I immediately turned on my long range scanners to confirm this, and there was an unknown vessel in the system. By the size of the signal its transponder was emitting we both assumed it was a large vessel.
I told him that i am on my way to Chugoku and that he is to commit a search around the jump holes in the system for the unknown vessel. After a short search he found the vessel that was heading toward Kyoto base, and was approximately 6 k away from the base itself! He stopped it and proceeded with questioning the Captain of the said vessel.
While on my way to Chugoku another Dragon informed me of his presence, Ryu Mitano, and told me that he is in Chugoku as we speak. After my arrival in the system i scanned it to locate Ryu-san and Kintaki-san. As they appeared on my scanners i proceeded towards them and to the vessel by the name VBT-Vanyali.
The three of us tried to determine his intentions and business in Chugoku. He was carrying counterfeit software and carried a Zoner Guard transponder. He told us that the KSP chased him into the system from Hokkaido. And after a while told us that they chased him from the Shikoku system, which immediately raised our suspicion. We were beginning to believe that he is in fact a KSP spy! We tried to reason with the captain and instructed him to drop his cargo so that we can deal with it. We couldnt allow the cargo to exit the system, for it may contain a copy of the system information within the software. And Ryu-san was going to hack his navigational computer and wipe any information about Chugoku. He ignored us, and did not comply with our request. So i decided to give him 5 seconds before i open fire. He started to run, which we considered an act of hostility. The final outcome was inevitable.
Today I was called to witness one of the sister serpent ships launch from Mito shipyards, the Blood Serpent was a beauty to behold as it made its maiden voyage to the Chugoku home space. After witnessing such a sight I decided to move around and examine the Chugoku space for a while before I was contacted by a fellow rising son. They requested I come along with them to the Hokkaido system where three KNF ships were snooping around.
I was the first one to arrive in Hokkaido, as I recalibrated my systems after the hold I picked up the three ships. A destroyer, gunboat and bomber. One of the fellow rising sons took leadership and spoke to these dishonorable traitors, in which case a battle ensued. Luck was not on our side this given day as our numbers dwindled from four to one, with me fighting this force for the better part of two to three hours. Some back up came but they were also taken down by the KNF vessels.
I was able to heavily damage the bomber into a point of almost submission after it had used all its fellow traitors batteries and nano-bots, but with the fellow brothers in my hold and the low supply of nano-bots I had left I had to made the decision to leave the battle not wonting to risk then capturing me or the brothers in my hold.

Today is a day never to forget. We raidied the corrupted system of Kyshu. We bumped in to the First most honourable Hogoshan pilot ever to lay eyes on. Not everyday you see traitors with honour.
Arisu-san fought and won the duel with pride and glory.
Then we found a corsair. Not the most usual being to find out in kusari territory...
The corsair preped for a duel.
After that we regrouped. What a marvelous sight.
The Assembling of the Dragons.
Then we set off to Planet Kyshu to make a stand in the name of Hydioshi.
The glorious flight of the dragon.
I couldnt get anymore guncam shots since the Yaucht severly dameged us. And my memory is a bit misguided today after my ejection from my Katana fighter.
I have some troubling news, while I was outside of Kyoto base, preparing to go to the Tohoku system to investigate reports about Isejin sightings there, an unknown pirate undocked from Kyoto! After he noticed me he quickly docked again! Now I want a name, who of the Kyoto flight control allowed this person to dock there.
As I suspected the pirate had no authorization to enter Chugoku, let alone land on Kyoto. The Shogunate confirmed this. We must take actions against such things, to prevent them to happen again.
After that I proceeded to the Tohoku system, along with a few other Dragons, Kintaki-san, Yuji-san and Hattori-san. We picked up a ship in the system with a large transponder signature. As we entered the system we began sweeping the areas around the jump holes hoping to find the unknown vessel.
We managed to locate the vessel by the name Exile, it was an Order Recon Cruiser. We started to question him to see what his intentions are, and soon realized that the commander, and perhaps the entire crew was infected with some sort of a disease, a nomadic disease. He posed a threat and we needed to eliminate that threat. Another Order vessel by the name of Bastet, an Order Carrier vessel was also present there, and the Commander agreed that the Exile crew was infected. At that moment a Isejin came into scanner range, what confirmed our suspicion about the Exile. The Isejin had some sort of a weapon, that disrupted
Unfortunately the Exile jumped into an unknown system, I pursued him but he managed to escape, we decided not to follow him in that dreadful place. I returned to Tohoku and Kintaki-san engaged the Isejin. But he had a nomadic weapon, it disrupted our targeting systems, and we were taken down like flies.
The Order Carrier Bastet took us in, and provided medical care in their sickbay. We werent injured badly, but we coulnd risk that the Isejin infected us with some sort of a nomad weapon. And the Order vessel had medical and technological knowledge to determine that. I requested Ryuku base to give clearance to the Bastet to moor with the base, to take cover from the Isejin, which by now increased in numbers, and to transfer myself and my brother there.
The Shogunate Office would like to share the news that our recent gunboat named ]bd[Brother.Yoshihiro", after the legend of the three brothers, has had it's IFF set to friendly and is fully set up and ready to be used.
Please take the opportunity to use this shared ship.
