DATE: 19/04/828 A.S SUBJECT: Combat in Kyushu System.
During the regular patrol in the Kyushu system with Zuiryu we have encountered the Outcast Battlecruiser on a close radius to the Planet Kyushu. Zuikaku and Zuiryu have engaged the Outcast Battlecruiser and successfully terminated it without heavy losses. Later that day, we have encountered the GC bomber wing near Planet Kyushu with the two Outcast fighters. They have engaged us, but after not a long period of a fight, Zuikaku has managed to neutralize one of the GC bomber. After one succeed neutralization, the GC wing ran away with the understanding that they can terminate neither Zuikaku nor Zuiryu
DATE: 26/04/828 A.S SUBJECT: Corsairs in Sigma-19 System.
During the patrol in the Sigma-19 with Zuiryu we faced two Capital ships of the Corsair origin - Santa Muerte and Triunfante and one Civilian Bomber-class Vessel under the Corsair IFF: Planetary. Corsairs dared to claim Sigma-19 as their controlled system. One of them called itself Taurus, but they don't have any manners, as other Cretans I've met. Despite our status with them, Corsair forces have provoked us to attack them. Glad, the Kusari Naval Forces ship "Katsuragi" arrived just in time and they have engaged our units. Katsuragi has covered both Zuikaku and Zuiryu. The outcome of the fight was predictable: they have lost without casualties on our side. After the fight, we returned back to the Honshu system Both Audio and Visual evidence attached below.
[26.04.828 15:50:59] Taurus|CNS-Santa.Muerte: Avram: Buenos dias, Kusarian.
[26.04.828 15:51:20] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: Konnichiwa, Corsair.
[26.04.828 15:51:21] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: konnichiwa, corsair
[26.04.828 15:51:29] Taurus|CNS-Santa.Muerte: Avram: This is Capitan Avram Abulafia speaking. We are hereby claiming this system for the glorious Corsair Empire.
[26.04.828 15:52:05] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: so this is how the "Empire" treats us giving you credit for dealing with the Hogosha?
[26.04.828 15:52:17] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: and I thought you honoured the deal
[26.04.828 15:52:22] Planetary: Ah
[26.04.828 15:52:25] Planetary: Hallo there
[26.04.828 15:52:33] Planetary: What did I miss
[26.04.828 15:53:15] Taurus|CNS-Santa.Muerte: Avram: What deal?
[26.04.828 15:53:20] Taurus|CNS-Santa.Muerte: Avram: I don't know of any deal.
[26.04.828 15:53:38] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: the Corsairs are not "illegal" in Kusari
[26.04.828 15:53:46] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: for your deals with the Hogosha
[26.04.828 15:53:49] CNS-BC.Triunfante: Si, because this is our territory.
[26.04.828 15:54:04] Taurus|CNS-Santa.Muerte: Avram: Can we pillage commerce legally here?
[26.04.828 15:54:06] CNS-BC.Triunfante: We move our burito service through here to Outcasts
[26.04.828 15:54:30] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: as long as you keep to yourself, don't rob our corporations at least in proximity to our space - you are good
[26.04.828 15:54:53] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: if, however, you want to put additional strains on your own artifact business in Kusari - be my guest
[26.04.828 15:55:16] Taurus|CNS-Santa.Muerte: Avram: Are our artefacts legal in Kusari?
[26.04.828 15:55:47] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: when they are delivered by the Hogosha - rarely anyone interferes
[26.04.828 15:56:05] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: even right now the stance of the officials is in favour of your people
[26.04.828 15:56:08] Taurus|CNS-Santa.Muerte: Avram: Rarely is a vague word.
[26.04.828 15:56:21] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: so are the words of the corsairs in general
[26.04.828 15:57:13] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: just checked the laws. Under Section 4 article 2 as long as the artifacts delivered by our corps or Hogosha
[26.04.828 15:57:22] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: there are no legal issues and/or consequences
[26.04.828 15:57:43] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: obviously, this does not pertains to corsair ships openly showing up with the artefacts in Kusari
[26.04.828 15:58:05] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: so as long as you deal with the Hogosha and do not interfere with our domestic politics - you are good
[26.04.828 15:58:49] Taurus|CNS-Santa.Muerte: Avram: Amigos, do we believe these Kusarians?
[26.04.828 15:59:13] CNS-BC.Triunfante: Of course no. they shiver in their ships
[26.04.828 15:59:48] CNS-BC.Triunfante: We mighty Corsairs, shall cut their rusted ships into useful scrap for our ship
[26.04.828 15:59:49] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: seems like the rumours about your people being unreasonable are true
[26.04.828 16:00:01] Taurus|CNS-Santa.Muerte: Avram: I think they are lying cabrons, the same as all other Houses.
[26.04.828 16:00:07] CNS-BC.Triunfante: Si.
[26.04.828 16:00:10] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: your numbers might be in your favour for now, your spirit is weak, however
[26.04.828 16:00:25] SC-Zuikaku: Darius you're going to be tanked all dmg
[26.04.828 16:00:25] Taurus|CNS-Santa.Muerte: Avam: They think their words can save them from our guns.
[26.04.828 16:00:30] SC-Zuikaku: we have no other choice
[26.04.828 16:00:31] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: also, this footage will get to the higher-ups. I think your business with the Hogosha might take a hit
[26.04.828 16:00:35] CNS-BC.Triunfante: On your mark amigo.
[26.04.828 16:01:25] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: in your place I would re-consider your position, Cretan. It's your business and your money in Kusari
[26.04.828 16:01:44] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: your rushness can cost you positions on the market
[26.04.828 16:01:57] Taurus|CNS-Santa.Muerte: Avram: I've never had any deals with Kusari.
[26.04.828 16:02:06] Taurus|CNS-Santa.Muerte: Avram: Have you, amigos?

[26.04.828 16:02:17] Planetary: Not me
[26.04.828 16:02:31] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: no wonder, your society is fractured
[26.04.828 16:02:48] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: I have not signed any deals either, it doesn't mean they are void
[26.04.828 16:02:50] Taurus|CNS-Santa.Muerte: Avram: With whom is this agreement? Taurus? Or TBH? We are not TBH.
[26.04.828 16:03:01] CNS-BC.Triunfante: Say your last words gringos.
[26.04.828 16:03:10] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: if you do not want to benefit your own people, so be it.

[26.04.828 16:03:27] SC-Zuikaku: Akechi: Are you sure about it, Cretan?

[26.04.828 16:03:38] [KNF]IKN-Katsuragi: Akihito: This is the IKN Katsuragi. We are here to support against the Corsairs.
[26.04.828 16:03:48] Taurus|CNS-Santa.Muerte: Avram: I would not mind to screw with their trade network.

[26.04.828 16:05:35] [KNF]IKN-Katsuragi: Akihito: The Corsairs are too quiet. Let us see if they have any last words.
[26.04.828 16:05:49] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: for the Emperor! Tenno heika banzai!
[26.04.828 16:06:06] CNS-BC.Triunfante: Si they attack us first

DATE: 29/04/828 A.S SUBJECT: Dragons' Aggression in Honshu
On a regular flight to New Tokyo "Zuiryu" caught transponders of two KSP vessels who were chasing an alleged contrabandist. We moved in to render possible assistance. Unfortunately, the interceptor of the police was taken down. The police capital vessel disengaged upon collecting the life pod of the interceptor pilot. The contrabandist quickly retreated from the scene and our ship was not optimal for a pursue operation.
Apparently, these developments near Shinagawa station alerted local Blood Dragons patrol and we caught a lone bomber of the rebels in the vicinity. Yet again, not considering a lone snub-scale vessel a threat to the station, we left New Tokyo for Honshu, leaving the Dragons to the police. It was a surprise, when the Dragon bomber followed us together with a freelancer under a moniker "Haiku Massacre". Living up to his name, the freelancer indeed made an honest attempt at declamation of his "poetry" which, to my not so sophisticated yet used to traditional Kusarian poetry ear sounded bland and lacking taste. He caught our attention, however, when his freighter interrupted the trade lane from New Tokyo -> Honshu jumpgate to Yukawa Shipyard in apparent assistance to the Dragons. Quite soon enough the dragon reinforcements arrived - another bomber and a lone capital ship, allegedly of "Togo" battleship class. Our luck was in early notification system which alerted the crew of "Zuikaku" stationed nearby. The combined force of "Zuiryu" and "Zuikaku" was sufficient to dispatch a bomber and the capital vessel. The remaining dragons, namely one of the two bombers from the beginning of the skirmish, as well as another bomber which came mid-fight, "Raijin", retreated from the battle alongside the "poet"-freelancer. It seems, sole fascination with art is not enough to taunt the servants of the Emperor into making reckless mistakes during the fight. Or, perhaps, it was the supremacy of the incoming for assistance of IKN "Katsuragi". Regardless, the rebels were driven back and the order was restored.
In eternal servitude to His Imperial Majesty and the Empire of Kusari,
Koushaku Shimamori

DATE: 05/05/828 A.S SUBJECT: Tau 29 Combat patrol.
The KNF recieved a distress call from Fukuoka. A Kusarian corporate base was under attack in the Tau-29 system. I inmediatly attended the call and reunited with KNF forces in the T-29 Gate.
Gallic forces were about to siege Shinkaku station but we got there in time. KNF capital ships managed to drove out the agressors.
After a fierce fight with a gaul bomber, my ship got disabled, lucky for me Captain Takeda from the Battleship "Hakaishin" arrived just in time, I managed to dock in its hangar bay... I will always be grateful and indebted to him.
It is most unfortunate and troublesome that the Gallic forces decide to continue the needless hostilities after the peace has been reached. Arigatou for the information, "Yanagi". It saddens me that my prediction of further tensions in Taus continue. Normally, I would be against the Clan involving into skirmishes with the Gauls in the Taus. However, this time the Gauls encroached on our space in Tau-29 recognised as such prior to the Kusari invasion into their homeland. If such situation arises again, we cannot help but resist and stand firmly to protect our people. You did the right thing. Perhaps, with time diplomatic solution will be found to remedy such unfortunate developments. Peace with the other Houses is of utmost importance for prosperity and stability of the Empire.
DATE: 17/05/828 A.S SUBJECT: GC and Blood Dragon fight.
During the regular patrol in the New Tokyo system I've encountered a GC fighter trying to pirate a BMM miner ship. The result was obvious - a GC fighter was terminated. Later that day with the Freelancer "Antifragile" we've encountered two Blood Dragon ships. One of them used one of the Naval Wyverns. During the fight, First Blood Dragon, who possessed Naval fighter was terminated quickly, however, Freelancer was shot down from the second Dragon. After a tough fight, I shot down the second one, however, my ship was heavily damaged. I returned back to Honshu for repairs.
DATE: 29/05/828 A.S SUBJECT: GC and Outcast fight.
During the regular patrol in the New Tokyo system I've met a slacking GC fighter, trying to get some luck in piracy near Jump-Gate leading to Kyushu. I engaged a GC fighter, named Kirisame. During the fight, She fell into the Mine trap and nuked herself. Later that day An Outcast Gunship was spotted at Fuchu Prison. I have immediately flown towards Fuchu and eliminated a gunship on my own. My Umibozu had several damages. After repairs on Renzu, I returned to Honshu,
DATE: 29/05/828 A.S SUBJECT: Intercepting HS Outcast Transport / Conversation with the KNF
Akechi-san, I thank you for your service to the Clana and the people of Kusari. The daring attack of the criminal scum near the prison is alarming but as long as we have skilled pilots like yourself, there is nothing to worry about.
While the GC remain a regular sight in Kusari, the outcasts seem to be getting bolder. I have recently seen two HS- tagged vessels in Kyushu system. Surprisingly, those were two transports hauling xeno artefacts. The outcasts spreading the orange cancer are an expected sight, yet the outcasts dealing with the traditional trade of the Hogosha and their Corsair counterparts is a rare sight. Or maybe, it indicated the readiness of the Maltese to step in a new market to rival their Cretan nemesis, although apparently their selling point was somewhere in Liberty. Perhaps, this information can be useful to the Hogosha and our recent contacts among the Corsair lords. One of those vessels I managed to intercept and forced to drop the artefacts in space. There was no need for extra bloodshed so we drove them back to the Taus. The logs of the encounter are provided herein.
[27.05.2021 03:40:52] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: a smuggling outcast. Peculiar
[27.05.2021 03:40:59] HS>Exploradora: Hola senor, can I help you?
[27.05.2021 03:41:11] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: you are outlawed in Kusari
[27.05.2021 03:41:19] HS>Exploradora: According to whom?
[27.05.2021 03:41:30] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: so you'd better leave the space of the Empire to the Taus. Immediately
[27.05.2021 03:41:47] HS>Exploradora: Sure, just one small stop to make first
[27.05.2021 03:42:01] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: no stops
[27.05.2021 03:42:19] SC-Zuiryu: ShimamorI: turn to Tau 23 immediately or I will shoot
[27.05.2021 03:42:33] HS>Exploradora: Well, what if I continue into liberty?
[27.05.2021 03:42:41] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: no deal
[27.05.2021 03:43:11] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: counting to 3
[27.05.2021 03:43:19] HS>Exploradora: Fine. have it your way
[27.05.2021 03:44:27] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: and before you leave - you'd better drop that contraband
[27.05.2021 03:44:32] HS>Exploradora: So, how's police work treating you?
[27.05.2021 03:44:45] HS>Exploradora: Wait, but I'm not even taking it anywhere in kusari
[27.05.2021 03:44:49] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: I am not of the police, more of the concerned citizenry
[27.05.2021 03:45:01] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: law is law, it is to be confiscated
[27.05.2021 03:45:04] HS>Exploradora: Which is why you have a police ID?
[27.05.2021 03:45:17] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: a perk of being the nobility
[27.05.2021 03:45:29] HS>Exploradora: Uh, huh. So where do you want me to drop it?
[27.05.2021 03:45:41] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: anywhere before you leave
[27.05.2021 03:45:50] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: it is to be terminated anyway
[27.05.2021 03:46:13] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: if yo uwant to deal the artefacts in Kusari - better do it through the Hogosha
[27.05.2021 03:48:06] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: stop 8 clicks to Tau 23 jumphole and drop the cargo. Then you are free to return to the Taus
[27.05.2021 03:48:17] HS>Exploradora: The cargo I've already dropped?
[27.05.2021 03:48:40] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: my bad, you are better than most of the Outcasts
[27.05.2021 03:48:44] HS>Exploradora: I've had my crew shoveling it out the airlock the whole way here, they're quite sore about it
[27.05.2021 03:49:08] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: you are lucky you are not shot upon immediately
[27.05.2021 03:49:11] HS>Exploradora: Well, I'll be off, then.
[27.05.2021 03:49:16] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: so tell the crew regards
Speaking about the Corsairs - I believe there are indeed prospects of striking a peace deal with them. I have had a pleasant chat with a military officer stationed in the norhern space. The officer did not seem to mind peaceful relations wit hthe Corsairs as long as they do not overstep their boundaries. So perhaps, the public image for the peace deal can be favourable. The limitation, however, is that the officer in question mostly deals with the Blood Dragons and the Golden Chrysanthemums, not with the Corsairs, so the perceived image of the Cretans might differ from the one of those dealing with them more often in Honshu. On a side note, the officer reported less sights of the Dragons, which is always good for the stability of the Empire. However, apparently, the Dragons nowadays opt for non-violent subversion methods and try to convince the KNF pilots to defect to the Dragons. This is disturbing, although not being able to offer much, I doublt they can cause a substatial number of defections. The logs of the conversation are provided below.
[27.05.2021 23:10:51] >BD<Kiseru-1: *sigh* unbelievable
[27.05.2021 23:10:54] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: konnichiwa, shikan. Some dragons activity?
[27.05.2021 23:11:00] Usagi-11: Yes.
[27.05.2021 23:11:07] Usagi-11: But, they seem to have fled in fear.
[27.05.2021 23:11:07] SC-Zuiryu: I canme for RP possibilities with them, but oh well
[27.05.2021 23:11:21] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: the usual routine for the glorious navy, I believe
[27.05.2021 23:11:30] Usagi-11: They were trying to get us to lay down our weapons and work wth them.
[27.05.2021 23:11:40] Usagi-11: Very odd behavior.
[27.05.2021 23:11:56] Usagi-11: Not something I have witnessed anyway.
[27.05.2021 23:11:59] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: their cause is ill, their ideology inconsistent. They can't get much with that
[27.05.2021 23:12:24] Usagi-11: That is true.
[27.05.2021 23:12:45] Usagi-11: I am suprised their movement has survived for so long.
[27.05.2021 23:12:49] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: are you stationed mostly in this system, officer?
[27.05.2021 23:13:29] Usagi-11: I am stationed in the northern region of Kusari. Hokkaido and this system.
[27.05.2021 23:13:47] Usagi-11: Sometimes I venture into lower Kusari. When necessary.
[27.05.2021 23:13:51] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: have you witnessed many of them recently?
[27.05.2021 23:14:04] Usagi-11: No. Very little.
[27.05.2021 23:14:11] Usagi-11: At least in this system.
[27.05.2021 23:14:12] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: I am trying to render additional protection to Honshu with my clan, but we mostly encounter the GC
[27.05.2021 23:14:24] Usagi-11: I see.
[27.05.2021 23:14:44] Usagi-11: The GC seem to be much more aggressive. Perhaps that is why you see them more.
[27.05.2021 23:14:45] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: good to know the revolutionaries are not undertaking anything stupid.
[27.05.2021 23:15:17] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: they are quite active hauling Cardamine as of recently
[27.05.2021 23:15:26] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: alongside their Maltese masters
[27.05.2021 23:15:35] Usagi-11: I see, I have heard reports of such things.
[27.05.2021 23:15:45] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: we just intercepted one of those yesterday with a full load of xeno artefacts
[27.05.2021 23:16:00] Usagi-11: Oh, Interesting.
[27.05.2021 23:16:26] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: normally, that would be the Hogosha and Corsairs' turf
[27.05.2021 23:16:41] Usagi-11: Yes, that is what I was thinking.
[27.05.2021 23:16:53] Usagi-11: That is...a bit unusual.
[27.05.2021 23:17:19] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: what do you think of those two? The Hogoshas with the Corsairs?
[27.05.2021 23:17:53] Usagi-11: Well. I personally don't see a problem as long as it does not become an issue for the greater Kusari.
[27.05.2021 23:18:50] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: a commendable opinion for the benefit of the House
[27.05.2021 23:19:11] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: I have been trying to broken a more lasting peace with the Corsairs recently.
[27.05.2021 23:19:33] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: not sure if the government would like to heed my suggestion, but it's worth the try
[27.05.2021 23:19:54] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: it will be beneficial against the outcasts and their GC puppets, I believe
[27.05.2021 23:20:00] Usagi-11: I see. Well, it is worth a try at least. I hear they are quite a dangerous bunch.
[27.05.2021 23:20:15] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: perhaps, even more patrols can be allocated to the Northern Space
[27.05.2021 23:20:22] Usagi-11: I don't often see them in Kusari, so my runins with them are quite..rare.
[27.05.2021 23:20:45] SC-Zuiryu: Shimmaori: we see them in Honshu and bordering Sigma 19 at times. Some are reasonable, some are not
[27.05.2021 23:21:34] Usagi-11: I see. Well, I am not a political man myself, but this could free up resources for other areas if a deal could be made.
[27.05.2021 23:22:08] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: after the loss of a major part of our fleet to the Gauls, it can give us more opportunities rebuilding, I guess
[27.05.2021 23:22:54] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: but you are right - this is for the politicians to decide.
[27.05.2021 23:23:06] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: not being an institutionalised politician, I can only suggest
[27.05.2021 23:23:15] Usagi-11: Of course.
[27.05.2021 23:23:22] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori; but it is refreshing seeing understanding of the matter with the Navy representatives
[27.05.2021 23:23:47] Usagi-11: Well. I am only one man. And my opinions only strech so far.
[27.05.2021 23:23:57] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: it has been a pleasure talking to you, officer, I shall not delay you any further
[27.05.2021 23:24:08] Usagi-11: Same to you.
[27.05.2021 23:24:09] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: clear and safe skies, "Usagi-11"
[27.05.2021 23:24:21] SC-Zuiryu: Shimamori: going back to Honshu system
[27.05.2021 23:24:21] Usagi-11: I will be on my way. Safe skies to you as well, Captain.
On the regular patrol in the New Tokyo system I have encountered the Cardamine Smuggler "Sephenis" - a Serenity transport. He was transitting the Kusari space with contraband. According to Kusari Law, I make him to drop Cardamire and escorted him to Tau-23 system. After that I returned back to New Tokyo.
[09.06.828 17:16:14] SC-Tsuru: Stop right there.
[09.06.828 17:16:28] Sephenis: is there a problem, officer?
[09.06.828 17:16:46] SC-Tsuru: You're caring Cardamine, the problem is here on the face
[09.06.828 17:17:02] SC-Tsuru: Drop the cargo or you will be shot down.
[09.06.828 17:17:08] Sephenis: I have no intention to sell it in Kusari territory
[09.06.828 17:17:26] SC-Tsuru: I don't care. You're caring the Cardamine in the Kusari Territory
[09.06.828 17:17:33] SC-Tsuru: Drop it
[09.06.828 17:17:47] Sephenis: Is there any other option maybe?
[09.06.828 17:18:32] SC-Tsuru: You will pay a fine according to the Kusari laws and will be escorted out to Taus
[09.06.828 17:18:55] Sephenis: Honestly I'm planning to make some donation to Kusari Police Forces
[09.06.828 17:19:19] Sephenis: I know you have a lot of work
[09.06.828 17:19:38] Sephenis: And not appriciated enough
[09.06.828 17:19:38] SC-Tsuru: For your sadness I don't take the bribes.
[09.06.828 17:19:55] Sephenis: Officer, who's talking about a bribe
[09.06.828 17:20:02] Sephenis: it's just a donation
[09.06.828 17:20:29] Sephenis: of course I would entrust it to you
[09.06.828 17:20:43] Sephenis: I'm sure you would deliver it to the right place
[09.06.828 17:21:03] Sephenis: after all the milk I carry won't touch Kusari planets
[09.06.828 17:21:10] SC-Tsuru: Perhaps you haven't listened to me.
[09.06.828 17:21:29] SC-Tsuru: Drop the cargo and prepare to be escorted out of Kusari space.
[09.06.828 17:21:36] Sephenis: fine, fine
