It was a balls to the wall dustup in Leeds yesterday, I can tell you. A fleet of Kusari vessels, composing of three battleships and assorted cruisers took on a few bombers, a couple of cruisers and the HMS Sovereign. Sir, myself and Biggles were there. We saw it, though the Dagobaz has heavily damaged, and my Challenger went down. I've got a few bruises, but am otherwise ok. We inflicted heavy damage on the bastards though. The Dagobaz took out one of their cruisers and turned the tide against one of the three battleships that were trying to target the Sovereign. We lost a few, make no mistake, but this is yet another nail in the coffin of the Kusari war machine here. My gun cams were able to catch this lovely shot before my ship bought it.

Hello again all,
Was a pretty quiet flight for Seamus and I this time, but we did find a thing or two worth mentioning.
The first ship we came across was a Kishiro Ryujin class train, called the CrimsonSunrise, hauling high-temperature alloys to that research station in Kyushu. Naturally, we asked he donate his cargo to our collection of space junk, at which point he decided to run. In the end, both his cargo and his ship added to our collection, though if you see this captain again, not that he likes his ships pretty well armoured. The train was able to survive two of Seamus' nova torpedos hitting it a number of times.
The second ship we came across was a mercenary by the name of Rimak Nort flying a Kingfisher. I didn't think much of it and was busy sparring with some Kusari police. This mercenary came past us again, and this time he had a number of GC pilots in his hold. I asked him politely to turn them over as our friends, but the merc managed to slip away in a trade lane. If we see him again, the Crysanthemums might appreciate out questioning of the man.

Silves here again.
It was a busy night in Shikoku. Between Seamus and I we have complete logs of everything that went down both on recorder and guncam. However, the flight was quite hectic at times so I'll put down what I recall.
First Seamus managed to stop a USI mastodon and his escort hauling silver ore for Narita. There was a heated if cordial debate about our right to stop them, being Libertonian and reasonable allies of the Crown. In the end, Seamus and I applied a token tax to the vessel. It won't cut their profits too badly but should make them think twice before running into Kusari. Command should expect communication from USI over this, which we were threatened with multiple times. Command guidance for future encounters would also be appreciated.
The next ship encountered was an Omicroner, clearly hauling goods from a Zoner base outside Kusari to Ames Research Station in Kepler. We quickly waved him through as a Samura vessel appeared at the same time. Concentrating on the Samura vessel, we got him to quickly relinquish his cargo.
Next, the USI vessel Boston appeared. Captain Denny was polite and as a bonus was breaking the Kusari embargo by hauling goods from the GMG in Okinawa through to Liberty. With the recent opening of hostilities between the GMG and Kusari, Seamus and I waved Captain Denny through.
Almost right after a freelancer in the Liberty Ale arrived. He was hauling engine components. The man was thoroughly unpleasant and refused to give up his cargo. Finally he resorted to some sort of device in an attempt to hide his ship so we destroyed his vessel.
Finally, the Interspace Commerce vessel Deliverance appeared hauling a full 5000 unit load of optronics from Honshu. Again, here was a friendly corporation doing trade with our enemy. For want of a better solution, we levied a tax against the Deliverance, which he paid in full. Hopefully the captain will take his trade out of Kusari in the future. Again, any guidelines from command for these situations would be appreciated. Without, I will continue exercising my best judgement for the Crown.
A hectic night, and as I flew back in to Ainu I sincerely regretted their lack of decent pints.
Godspeed,
Gareth Silves, out.

It appears that it may not be the best of ideas to be utilising standard channels. If we weren't operating in the vast void of space, I would suggest carrier pigeons but, alas, our stomping grounds render such an idea impractical.
Regardless of the lack of pigeon feasibility, we shall be using this line to keep each other up to date about our general mischief and trouble-making in the land of table-tennis.
See to it, ladies and gents!

Since I see no notice of QCP being an official faction this gets shoo'd out of this subforum. I am not unmercyfull, so I will not send this all the way to flood. When you get your official status poke me and I'll move it back.

All right there lads. I was out and about yesterday, stirring up some trouble, and we hit the jackpot a little. Ran into a Daumann tanker hauling military vehicles. Knowing full well what his destination was we were in the process of demanding his ........... compliance, when the tricky bastard decided to try and engage a cloaking device! Right in front of us! Needless to say, we made the device more effective by destroying his ship, thus ensuring he stays hidden for a long time. I was able to get the Jackdaw and pick up most of the vehicles, and transported them to the MacDuff. One in the eye to the Kanzler and Emperor both!
So what turns up next but one of the Blood Dragon fellows, whit a stick up his arse about something. Anyway, he skulked off after imagining some insult, and before long was back with some friends. We beat a retreat back to the MacDuff then. These Dragons really have a chip on their shoulder. Obviously not getting any from the geishas is my guess.
Deciding the Taus were probably getting a wee bit hot, we made way back into Leeds, hearing rumblings of some Hogosha looking to start some trouble. Seems the Hogosha were looking to start trouble with the Dragons though, and last we heard, the Hogs were getting seven bales kicked out of them. Dragons have some uses after all.
Lastly, and not leastly, we ran into a KPT gunboat. It was a tough cookie, and no mistake. Took out four of the BAF lads in their Templars before me, another military lad and the Rose were finally able to take it down. The lads in the back rooms really need to come up with something to combat these bloody gunships they keep sending at us.

Subject: Potential Operational Concept
Origin: Coronado
Evening lads,
I came into Coronado to pick up some parts, and had this BBC report come through. After I had a chuckle and reflected on the somewhat ridiculous, if admirable, risk the pilots took I actually had a productive thought.
If two Bowex pilots can infiltrate that load through both Kusari and a small part of Rheinland and unload it without getting caught, we might be able to replicate this in a more useful manner. While we aren't cleared to fly in Rheinland at the moment, we all know how to operate in Kusari. With either of these two enemies, the more people that join the local resistances, the easier our job becomes and the more internal pressure will mount on their government.
So the idea is this: we begin pamphlet drops on enemy population centres. We ensure the pamphlets have a direct, and realistic message using fact wherever we can. Being overly bombastic will only back-fire. Any increase we can make to internal Kusari resistance will hinder their war-effort and by extension assist our mission of disruption.
All we need is some way of delivering the pamphlets through the atmosphere. It's just a concept, but what do you lads say?
[color=#FF9900]Tha' Sgean Dubh is ready fer action lads. I never was much o'a miner ye see. Outcast's n'IMG giving ye nothin' but trouble. So tae hell wi' it all, I've answered 'er Majesty's call.
Anyway, just thought I'd introduce mesel'. Already taken some tax aff a Zoner whale in oor space. Moron thot he were safe eh? Flyin' under Zoner colours.. disrespectin' oor lands.. Pah.. Me father'll be turning in his grave! Nae that he has one.. Space burial oot a'In'ergordon.
Ne'er mind that. Sgean Dubh means black knife. If yer that thick - Go look up tha' neural net. Me fine ship is fae a previous life oot In'ergordon Spaceport. I get all tha' permissions ya want fer such a fine vessel. S'a Pirate transport sure, s'got a few dents in it aye. Does it waste Kusari trade ships n'muppets who dinnae pay 'er Majesty's tax? OH AYE! HAHA!
[color=#FF9900]Ya lazy halfwits. Get oot tha' f-in bar n'get yer act taegether!
I just found two holds full'a Gold Ore in Orkney. S'simple n'all wait by tha' jump hole then pounce on tha' filthy dobbers.
So now I got this hold full'a Gold Ore. It sells fer millions! Ye can retire a rich bugger wi' all tha' cash!
So start smashing these sunnava dogs down? Coz yer C'ptins tellin' ya tae! It's all fer tha' money! They go by tha' name o'FTU. Whitever FTU stands fer I dinnae care. But tha' funny thin' was they were gonnae try n'pay me aff. But instead shot meh. Ah har! Stupid choice by them.. Ah ahahahaa.
