I ventured out last night, beginning a trade lane patrol in Kyushu. That was when I encountered some of our Blood Dragon allies. Yoshida and Jinta I believe were the two. We destroyed some Samura transports to keep them from making profit. We also investigated a base just off of Planet Kyushu. I hadn't heard of it before but it is being masqueraded as a tourist point. We agreed more needs to be learned of it.
I then assisted our allies in an escort. Two Coalition vessels were heading into Gallic space under Dragon escort. I assisted through Tau 53 and into Lorraine space before turning back. Gallic guns were too powerful and I took a lot of damage. One Dragon and a Coalition ship were also damaged.
Sisters, I'm no diplomat but the Coalition ships mentioned previous relations with us in a negative light. They too fight oppressive governments as we do. Do we have an official status with them? Perhaps we can improve it? Just a thought.
