Konnichiwa. Today I was on patrol in Leeds sistem. From the start all looked so quiet, and when I was returning to battleship Nagasaki, I found IC| vessel (IC|Green.Bay)that was heading in planet leeds direction. I asked him to stop and he complied. After scan I realized that he was carrying Engine components to bretonians, I asked him of his destination.....but his answer was unexpected. He was transporting that cargo to Liberty through Bretonia. I ordered him to drop his cargo... but then mandalorian showed and attacked me.. so I lost track of IC| vessel. Unfortunately there was malfunction in my sistems, and mine detonated to quick, and disabled my ship. After few hours patrol has picked up me and returned to battleship Nagasaki.
First a Border Worlds transport Kyaputen_Ogonotoko bearing unmistakable Golden Chrysanthemum transponder signals was spotted in New Tokyo at Kyushu Jumpgate (1), (2). The captain was surprisingly frank about their intentions. (Communications log).
The vessel soon decided to make a run and docked with Kyushu jumpgate. I followed the ship to Kyushu and then further into the clouds. After a long chase we came to a jump hole, which by the reading on my navigational computer lead us to Hokkaido system. After a another while of flying through thick clouds, we finally came to the ship's destination.
It was a small depot hidden well in the clouds. The transport did not hurry to dock, either by knowing that it is in relative safety from me or because the captain was concerned of possible retaliation from her own sisters for bringing me to their safe haven. She complied with my demands and handed over the pilots they had in hold.
It took me a while to find a way back to Kysuhu, but right after returning, I noticed the shady form of Bretonian gunboat in clouds. Scanners confirmed my visual sighting, it was a Bretonian gunboat with Bowex transponder signal, by the name Superaronn[NL]. (scan data).
The captain claimed it was just looking around looking for location of jumpholes. Strange that a spy would give away their intentions that easily. I could not allow it to leave, so when it jumped to Hokkaido, I followd and opened fire. Luckily I was soon assisted by a secondary fleet pilot haruki. With combined effort and due to haruki-san's antimatter cannon the gunboat soon sustained critical damage.
My ship was damaged significantly during the fight, so i had to return to New Tokyo for repairs and maintenance as soon as possible.

To : KNF High Command
a Successfill patrol today with 3 incidents,
Patrolling on the trade land crossing near Planet New Tokyo i Scanned 12 ships for cargo , Listed goods:
2x Optronics ( licenced captain or company)
1x Mining Machinery
3x Luxury goods
1x Niobium
1x synth paste
and four with a empty hold
1. a Runner,
A certain Trader (Tanker Class) named Dino , ran for the lane to avoid a scan and needed a short chase and a warning shot to comply, it was carrying Niobium, Because of the amount of incoming ships ihave let the captain go with a warning for not stopping when ordered.
2 A cruiser class battleship ( IMG)Alexandru
after a short conversation the captain of the vessel took the nearest exit out of Kusary space. He is told to check with KNF high command for the way back
3. Fired upon
A freelancer with the codename COS Samuel , wich had already been scanned and cleared, Fired upon my vessel just before entering the trade lane, and dissapeared shortly after that. the shot could have been an accident , however i find it hard to believe That the pilot accidentally targeted me . My ship took no permanent damage , but is beeing checked in the hiroshima shipyard .
Investigation report
Officer missing, Taiki Ono
Case No. 235, 21.04.819
Â
The formal investigation was initiated when Shosa Taiki Ono did not report to flight duty and all attempts to contact him though usual channels gave no results.
Â
A military police unit was sent to his known apartment on planet New Tokyo. All rooms were in order, no signs of breaking and entering or other unauthorized access. However, technical team reported that all history of Ono's private communication device is permanently erased and deliberately damaged beyond recovery. Furthermore, a simple non-standard scrambler device was installed, easily available on black market.
Â
Check of Ono's neural net accounts established that all available finances had been exchanged to Sirius credit cards on several exchange points.
Â
As part of standard procedure, all landing pads in the vicinity were visited and questioned. One of ship rental companies informed our investigators that Taiki Ono had been there and rented a civilian CTE 1270AV Startracker vessel. He paid in Sirius credit cards. While the manager found that unusual and against the policy of the rental company, he claimed that he saw no reason to mistrust an officer of Kusari Naval Forces.
Â
By ship details provided by rental company, investigation was able to trace the movement of said vessel through tradelane network. Last log entry was on Yukawa Shipyard to planet Honshu lane, where the ship exited mid-lane.
Â
An investigation team was sent into the outskirts of Hiyo cloud. They found the wreck of the Startracker with relative ease. The safety module of ship's powercore was manually shut down, leading to overcharge and subsequent damage of all critical systems. No flight recorder data could be retrieved. Escape pod is missing. No evidence provides any clue of further path of Taiki Ono.
 End of Report
On today's patrol I was accompanied by Shoi Riyo Kurogane. After meeting in Hiroshima and making a quick check of Kurogane-san's ship systems, we assumed a routine patrol of core systems.
Overall everything was calm for a while. Only thing out of ordinary was relatively high number of hogosha vessels.
After a quite uneventful while we exited a lane in Kyushu to have a closer look on a freelance Kingfisher, by the callsign Dismal.Sparrow. A member of Black dragon society was there as well. It must be noted that weaponry of Kingfisher consisted exclusively of Debilitator pulse guns. Scanner data 1 Scanner data 2
The demeanor of freelancer was rather strange, but I found my suspicions not serious enough, so we continued our patrol.
After a I was contacted my a Universal Shipping transport captain, who informed that their escort has gotten in trouble with Hogosha in Honshu. We left immediately to try and mediate the situation.
We found the group of ships near Yukawa shipyard.
I demanded that all hostilities are put on hold. The conflict didn't become less heated without shots fired, though. Luckily, it was resolved in a rather civilized manner, with Yuki Ayaka challenging Interspace Commerce escort pilot Tammo McIllheney for a duel. Interspace pilot accepted and was defeated soon afterwards in an equal battle.
More details in attached log.
While the duel was underway, we noticed the same Kingfisher exiting lane near us. This time I decided to ask a bit more questions and look up the name of pilot on available databases.
I found out that the name I was told figures as a known alias of some Yoko Mori, which is wanted to testify on murder case on planet Honshu. When I mentioned that name to pilot, she became very nervous and refused to follow us to planet Honshu to clear the situation once and for all.
When Sparrow made an attempts to flee, we had no other choice than to pursue and try to disable the ship.
With help of hogosha, the ship was cornered in New Tokyo. During the chase, the pilot mentioned that she gets paid for each scan of our ships. It is unknown by whom, though.
After more than 20 minutes of chase, the heavy fighter was finally disabled by a direct antimatter hit.
The enemies of Kusari were out in force. Though not strictly a primary fleet mission, I've attached details of a fire fight in Leeds prior to my acceptance. I was conducting a reconnaissance run and drew some... perhaps unwelcome attention, hai?
The BPA liner, Scotlands.Yard was stripped of its shield in short order and retreated to the cover of the Battleship Derby, while a Bretonian Bomber pilot attempted to scratch my Chimera. He showed a modicum of skill, if not honour. He was joined by a Bretonian primary fleet ensign (Sandermall-san), who kindly placed his Templar in front of one of my wingmen. While we were able to retrieve two Bretonian escape pods, the remainder were collected by the Prison Liner, no doubt where they belong. I withdrew from the combat once my countermeasures were exhausted, as the gajin's capital vessels made use of anti-fighter missiles. While inferior to our own warships, they still pack enough firepower to significantly damage strike craft.
On returning to the Emperor's space, I encountered a Blood Dragon firing on a Samura fighter. They're like rats, where there is one, there will always be more... A second traitor arrived on the field shortly after. At least, these ones show some pride; and Ryuu-san and I duelled. Regrettably, the dragon triumphed this time. He will not do so on our next meeting.
>>>Incoming Transmission: Shōi Nekketsu, Hayato.
>>>Dated: Week 120, 817 A.S Investigation report, Case No. 235: Officer missing, Taiki Ono
Reporting officer: Shōi Nekketsu, Hayato
Under orders from my superiors I have been searching for any sign of Officer Taiki Ono, though I have questioned a few pilots that pass through Honshu, my efforts have been disturbed by interruptions from chrysanthemums, dragons and mercenaries.
I have not yet co-ordinated with the state police, an grievous error on my part: following rumours and snatches of conversation has led me into much trouble.
In Hokkaido I met a Tanto pilot named Hinjo, who made short work of my light reconnaissance craft.
After pick-up I acquired a new craft and ran into a friendly zoner in orbit of Honshu. A dragon named SeiOtsuka crossed nearby, and without coercion, agreed to exchange his Kusari prisoners for the few criminals I had locked in the hold. None of the recovered pilots turned out to be Ono, nor had they knowledge of his whereabouts.
Then finally I flew straight into the chrysanthemum allied Ruousha, I found myself unable to significantly damage the mercenary, and fell to the bomber just as allies from the 113th and Chui Genji arrived. Between sorties, as the Cryer doctors worked on burns from my last failure, I have thought much on the limits of obedience and discipline. My wife has doubtless made more progress: I must do better if I am to meet her eyes again. Nekketsu out.
BAF vessels were spotted in Leeds and we went out to hunt them down for our glorious Emperor.A small group of one Gunboat and two snubs was located near Planet Leeds. They were already in battle with our forces and I decided to jump in. Their first fighter was taken out immediately...
We focused on the Gunboat, it burned after some minutes...
The last fighter of them ran away to Battleship Derby...
On 5 February., on the dock 2, nensei research complex. accompanied by [KNF-K] Naginata, was admitted for treatment and research Outcast Destroyer Storta, codenamed -. Cleaver.
Formed team under the leadership of Dr Keito Marusan and the presence of honorable kaigun Shosa Daisa Takato. After extensive work, presents this report for review Kusari Naval Forces Command Center.
general condition ....
general information
The ship belongs to the category of destroyers, manufacturing name RM-2. belonging to the -Outcast Nations
Ship was received in perfect condition, no damage to the hull,
dimensions of the ship-
length of 380 meters,
width of hull 89 meters,
height of 52 meters.
Cargo space-700 units.
Visibly noticeable low radar visibility of the vessel and the low lateral shadow, is composed of 5 levels where the third ie central envisaged to accommodate the crew.
Command and control center of the ship on the upper level of the ship, adapted to the general shadow reflection of the entire composition.
radar and radio room is located behind the CCC, as the upper part of the deck, and visible set the objective as easy targets.
Crew of the ship consists of 5 officers 32 NCOs and 180 soldiers.
Propulsion of the ship consists of 5 Artificial Quantum Singularity Drive, which are protected with 5 layers of silicon-niobium. Quantum singilarity is the same what happens in a black hole. This so called artificial gravity well can generated a tremendous amount of energy which gives the thrust their ships. The reactor itself houses a singularity: a point in space where the laws of physics break down supposedly. What happens here is that matter is continuously fed into the singularity. The gravity from the singularity pulls the matter together, forcing it to not only fuse, but to bump into each other, etc.. This causes an enormous amount of energy to be obtained, and ship never have to worry about fuel: it is all around him. It is not only more efficient then Matter / Antimatter drive but also much more powerful.
this propulsion keeps a cruising speed of 80 m / s, and maximum of 140m / s. in cooperation with the construction of the ship, enabling easier penetration through the meteor field or through a minefield. on the other hand, in combat operations, the ship behaves very lazy and does not have some maneuverability
Power output at 1,800,000, made by Antimatter power plant. concerned the device absorbed power to propulsion shield, power arms, power plants and maintenance of living conditions inside the ship, on the basis of constant exchange of protons within the magnetic field forces the exchange of matter and antimatter.
hull strength 295K, in cooperation with the Cruiser Positron Shield provides solid protection of naval vessels.
Cruiser Shield Positron-emit a field of anti-electrons, Which quickly atomise an incoming bolt before it manages to damage the hull. Because of this working principle, positron shields are less effective against the bolts of photons or lasers.
More effective against: tachyon, neutron weapons
Less effective against: laser photon, pulse weapons
weapons-
Storta is equipped with a 12 cruiser turret, 9 class, and their weapons may be mounted and Razor Battle Cruiser, Cruiser Pulse Cannon,Light Mortar and Basic Cruiser Missile Turret. Concerned the ship was armed with a light mortar, 2 missiles and a pulse cannon, rest of the Outcast Destroyer Turret, its a smaller version of the regular cruiser turret with Hull Damage: 1.400
Shield Damage: 700
Range: 1,600 m
Projectile Speed: 1.000 m / s
Refire Rate: 3.03
Energy Usage: 6.000
position and arrangement arms is not very good. only two turrets cover the belly, and due to the ships rather long flat shape.
CONCLUSION - Storta to fight with our BS has a slight advantage because of its shape and small figures, but the encounter with Umibozu, especially attacked the upper or lower side, a very easy target. Destroyer is slow maneuvers, not overly protected and can not inspire a strength and tactical and technical data
Another one of these Privateers was found in the Kyushu system, again a crappy Challenger bomber...
I immediately attacked him to make sure he can't cause trouble in our home, he was not able to deal damage. He ran to Hokkaido as soon as he realised that he had no chance against me. I followed him of course and destroyed his ship there...
