This is Ogawasara Heihachi, with a report from a battle in Leeds.
Earlier, I was flying around Stokes to help with defense, when I had a conversation with two independent KNF pilots, M.A. Kamiyama and J.G. Kurosawa. They were just talking and such before they headed out to Planet Leeds to chase after an independent BAF pilot who had reportedly fled to New London during a fire fight. Later after they left I decided to head to the Planet to assist them, when en route I suddenly received reports the pilot, later identified as Charles_D'White had returned and had successfully defeated M.A. Kamiyama in a firefight. Furious at the death of a friendly pilot I rushed to Leeds and found him just in time to avenge the destruction of Kamiyama's ship. What ensued was a pitched firefight between me, him, a small KNF(NPC) detatchment and a small BPA(NPC) attachment. He put up a good fight but in the end, he flew into my Mini Razor one too many times. Apon his destruction I returned to Glasgow outpost, where I discovered he had some Gaians and oddly a member of the Gallia police. Images are as follows.

Today we received dusturbing S.O.S. signal via Emergency Channels. No one knows how it happend, but it seems that poor Libertonian in his big shiny Cruiser decided to pay us a visit. Bomber squadron moved to Kyushu. As usual, he wasnt very talkative. I ordered to fire this Towakemono. Not long time after order was given, his cargo pod was on mine board.
Konnichiwa pilots. Today Kusari forces dealt a powerful blow to the forces of Bretonia.
First, our admiral destroyed bretonian agent that was gathering information about the Stokes.
(Unfortunatly my gun camera was defective and I dont take any ss)
Then he led into battle a small strikegroup to attack defence of planet Leeds.
As the Bretonians are constantly fighting within firing range of Derby warship orbiting Leeds, we had to resort to tricks, and lure them out.
They have successfully swallowed the bait and pay dearly for that.
They destroyed one our bomber but payed with 2gbs, bomber, and life of some stupid hunter(who managed to attack our ships).
After this we have taken some rest, but soon enought we gather enough forces to strike again.
Well this time BAF was ready to counter us.. but they recieved heavy losses, just as we.
Tactic of hit and run to Derby worked very well for bretonians, but with this they showing that they dont have any hope to counter us in open battle.

>>>Time: Week 29, 816 A.S
I've have had my hands tied with chasing yet more blockade runners, slavers and the general criminal classes lately. Apart from that seemingly endless chase, things have been pretty quiet, almost too quiet; I have found that things tend to ebb just before a devastating wave hits. It could be paranoia or it could be valid suspicion gnawing at the edge of my mind; either way we will be prepared for anything, barring a sedate tea-party.
During week 27 there was another large confrontation in Leeds which unfortunately eluded me as I chased yet more slavers.
I did have an opportunity to try and claw back some dignity recently, in my first sortie into 'dragon space': [KNF]IKN-Edogawa, [KNF]IKN-Suzuya, [KNF]IKN-Inugami, IKN-Kakushi and myself made our way carefully into enemy territory. The traitors were escorting a massive battleship, the likes of which I have never seen.
I arrived as the first casualties occurred; and joined the chaos, hoping to cripple the monstrous leviathan: with the support and skill of my brothers-in-arms we managed just that. [KNF]IKN-Suzuya took ]bd[Hattori.Hanzo. apart quickly in the bedlam.
I cracked a smile at the thought of father's approval. However my exultation was shortlived as ]bd[Teraku.Oshiro. shredded my gifted umibozu with alacrity. I was pleased to find out that my brothers managed to withdraw successfully, denting the traitorous institution once more. >>>Transmission Terminated.
Today we I was deployed to confront a Blood Dragon presence, along side a group of Naval Forces. I was not sure of the outcome, though the battle didn't start with the most.. Natural reasons. An Ion storm accrued across the system, wiping out my systems, according to my sensors the assisting party were 180k from my position. When I configured my scanners the battle had continued, I had a Dragon take my shield down, and I tried to buy my self time for the shield to restore by flying in any random question, as soon as it was, I returned fire. The battle continued for a while, each officer and dragon having their own target.
I didn't do much damage, but allowed the other Kusari officer to destroy his target and come to assist me, as soon as this happened, I moved all power to weapons, I think I caused the Dragon to stubble, causing him to loose power of the shields as well as some communication power.
The battle continued, and I lost one of my Debs. With this disadvantage, I knew I would have to pull something out of my sleeve. I moved the rest remaining power to the deployment of mines, I used the mines for the shields as my Deb was unresponsive, and used the rest of the weapons for the hull.
Once the battle was more than tiring, we had 2 Kusari Forces; myself and Hajime.Hiroito
and 2 Dragons left. I knew it was a risky battle, as I had badly damaged weaponry power as well as system malfunctions due to the Ion Storm earlier. The fight wasn't lost as instantly as I thought, one of the Dragons sustained damage from mine and Hiroito. My ship was too damaged to put up the hull pressure as well as the G-force being pulled. Eventually my ship was amongst the wreckage of the battle.
Uploading Damage Report :
Weapons Systems:Terminated Hull Pressure :Terminated Internal Systems :Terminated Life Support : Terminated
As you can see it wasn't the most necessary report. The Life pod was deployed as the ship failed.

Hai,
Hiro Aburame, reporting in. After registering, I proceeded to Battleship Myoko in the Shikoku system, to set up my ship. The kind gentlemen outfitted me a Chimaera fighter. Myoko picked up traces of Lane Hacker ships in the sector, and I immediately went on to destroy the threat. The Lane Hackers flew Daggers and Stilletos, but they were no task for me. Their ships were destroyed. After that, a Blood Dragon patrol appeared and engaged me. They were soon destroyed too.
Later on, I proceeded to Fuchu Prison, to drop off the pilots that were in my hold.
That is all.

Konnichiwa. Yesterday was quite unique day.
First we recived information about pirates in kyushu.
We(me and Taisho [KNF]Hajime.Hiroito) arrived there to assist [KSP] forces([KSP]Skura.Kai [KSP]Zoey.Sakura),
but pirates already fled to that time, so we continued our patrol.
Then we recieved information about rheinland millitary vessel in New Tokyo sistem,
but that was only transport that carried Luxury food to Planet New Tokyo.
<div align="right]And now begining most intresting part of our patrol. We recieved information about Order Battleship in New Tokyo sistem.
In seconds we took command of destroyers and forced him to leave our home sistem.
Hiro Aburame, reporting in. Once I entered my ship, I had a distress call. [KNF]Takeshi and another were in Kyushu fighting a Dragon and a Golden C. I immediately got there. As [KNF]Takeshi and another secondary fleet member left, me and Youji Nakamura were left to destroy the Dragon and GC vessel.
The Dragon cought my fire, and I destroyed him.
As we have our honor, Youji dis-engaged, and me and the GC were engaged in a duel. But, some Gopnik fools came, and engaged the GC. After a few warnings, the Gopnik didn't dis-engage, and one of them destroyed the GC.
That is all.

" To start off really. I was proforming a patrol in Hokkaido, searching for a GC, non luck. Takeshi was a companying me with the patrols, I had just finished my patrol when he informed me there were Outcast's within honshu. Takeshi arrived just before I got there. The outcast's managed to get past both of us, leaving us with an unsettling chase. Takeshi decided it was best for me to continue, and himself to overview the situation, as well as give me updates on long range scanners.
It seemed to me and Takeshi, both outcast was chasing down a convoy of Outcast caps. With Takeshi behind, and myself in a fighter, I knew we had no chance of stopping these Outcast Caps. Lucky for us, they left Kusari Space. I informed the LSF of the moving Outcast Capital ships, and they seemed most grateful for the warning.
After that.. my memory got.. blurry. I must have fallen asleep while I was stationed within space, scanning oncoming transports. The strange thing was that I awoke here:
Sector F5 to be exact. Within the cloud.
I didn't have time to get my head right. a distress call came in from Takeshi, saying he's in pursuit with a Outcast Gunboat. I engaged my Cruise Engines and became to route a intercept course on the way back to the trade lanes. I met up with Destroyer Edogawa. Now we had a chance of destroying the threat, and we did.
Right after launching from planet Kyushu I was contacted by a member of Farmers alliance Ryuu.Haruhi, whc kindly offered to render assistance if I encouter outnumbering hostiles.
I assumed position on Kyushu orbit and began checking passing traffic for contraband and resticted export items. Just a few minutes later, I spotted a transport Hitman. heading to taus with hold full of engine components. I asked to cut the engines and demanded destination. Said tranport insisted that it is en route to Freeport 4 in Magellan. After consulting NavMap. I found his story believable, yet asked to cheange the route from via Taus to via Liberty. tranport expressed concern about pirate activity, so I offered an escort to Liberty borders. I followed it to the first bend in kepler, then turned around and went to New Tokyo system.
I stationed myself near New Tokyo and resumed my duties. After an uneventful while a DSE transport Chitox with Libery police IFF transponder signal came on my radars. Captain was not aware of the his transponder's error, so I had to render technical assistance on how to fix the device.
Soon a IMG convoy (3 transports and an escort fighter) appeared an New Tokyo orbit, carrying MOX. They stated their destination as Tau systems. Quickly estiamating the situation, I came to conclusion that they have no reaons to lie (IMG wouldn't risk smuggle operations in Kusari, Bretonia produces its own MOX, thus the sell price there is low) and let them proceed.
After about 8 minutes I decided to reposition to Kyushu system. I was quite surprised to find most of aforementioned convoy still in Kyushu at New Tokyo gate. I enquired them if they had any problems and was told that there are Naval Forces officers with strange readings on the lane. I proceeded along the line and found a naval forces destroyer and Chimarea engaged in conversation with members of convoy. The readings were rather strange indeed, but I spotted no anomalies in their behavior. I explained that I have checked these ships already and they were soon let to proceed. I figured that these officers have this part of lanes covered and moved forth to Thushima depot.
Soon I encoutered a trade vessel trying to move Optotronics towards Taus. I halted it, and explained the embargo laws. Vessel was not aware of them and wilingly turned around and went to Libery space.
Not too long afterward I received a transmission from planet kyushu that my ship is in need of mandatory service and repairs. That concluded my patrol.
