These are are chaotic times, but nevertheless I bid you a good day, Curator Leviathan. I am agent Majin, of the Kusari Naval Intelligence. We had the brief pleasure of crossing paths less than a week ago, in the troubled Delta system.
So far we know not enough of the organization you represent, other than your colorful history with the Core, and prolific presence in Kusari and surrounding areas. Even though that provides nothing more than suspicion, your presence in the Omicron region also shines some potential. The crisis that has occurred once again in the region makes the waters muddy, and your footing unstable.
Like I've said on our passage by the Freeport, the Republic of Kusari has made it's presence due to some events of nomadic nature. Previous expeditions of the KNF to this region have returned with little results, or not returned at all.
Our search on the graveyard in Kappa has dashed our hopes for explanations, for we did not find the remains of the missing vessels in our list. Some older models, some from the Imperial age, but none of our missing brethren.
It is doubly concerning, for you mentioned sightings of Kusari vessels recently in the area. I thought it was just some rumor you might have heard, but when Auxesia spreads information that those vessels might be involved in the attacks on Freeports, I can't take that information light hearted.
Society works in different ways in these parts, and you might feel no obligation to heed my requests, but someone or something is taking possession of our assets, of our names, of our honor, and staining then with their acts. It is something I must not allow to pass untouched, unpunished.
I ask of you, tell me all that you know of these individuals, groups, units that sport the arms and flags of our nation, for their own ends. I cannot promise or provide you with any immediate gains for such a deed. Do know, that I would be in a large debt to you if you can succeed.
May you cross these times of chaos in one piece,
Majin, signing off.

____ MESSAGE
Agent Majin,
I was wondering when I'd hear from you again. I'm glad you managed to escape before the bombing had occurred. Allow me to give you a brief bit of what you might be lacking on us.
Auxesia is an organization founded on the ideals of preservation of technology, humanity and self-improvement. We see technology as a marvel that we can benefit from if used the correct way, however it's also a very dangerous tool in the wrong hands. Certain articles may need to be recovered that could endanger thousands of lives, which we'd respond to in force to ensure it isn't abused in any way. Our standing with The Core is simple - We do not tolerate tyranny, and their actions of late have proven yet again that they don't care if civilians are in their way or not. Our stance on other organizations, such as The Order, is brought on by their own shortcomings and inability to see a larger picture. They started a war they can't finish.
Now then, those vessels that were mentioned in the newswire were spotted prior to the bombing of the Freeport by Keeper Revenant. There was a warning sent to the Omicrons by what was posing as a Core splinter group, which isn't much of a surprise in these times, but our past has made it easy to tell their movement from others, due to one of us being a former Guildmaster in their organization. The signal was semi-convincing, but false, as during our investigation we had spoken with the current Guildmaster who had shown no interest in conflict, and simply wanted the vessels responsible for involving themselves with The Order removed from the protection of Zoner law. That all changed now due to an apparent kidnapping of the Confederate head, but I digress.
Simply examining the visual sent in the message provided some theories. Those theories ended up confirmed when one or two Takeda-Class destroyers were spotted advancing on the Freeport alongside a section of Core vessels. We were in the process of withdrawing our peacekeeping support due to the Zoners' need to retaliate and provoke an enemy they can't defeat on their own when the facility was bombed. I'll need to speak with the Keeper about her recording of the events, as I've yet to see it myself, but I'll be sure to attach it in a follow-up message.
