I hope this transmission finds you in good health and high spirits. We are writing to inform you of a grave and deeply saddening incident that has taken place in the Baffin Sector, which necessitates a formal public notification.
It is with great regret that I must share the distressing news of a tragic event that occurred today, roughly 8a.m Sirian Standard Time. During an assault on our installation in the Baffin Sector, a group known as the Autonomous Zoners carried out an appalling act of violence resulting in the loss of 60 innocent lives. The affected individuals, who were present at the space station during the attack, tragically lost their lives, leaving behind grieving families, friends, and colleagues.
In light of this unfortunate event, we express our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims who have been affected by this tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time, and we extend our full support to help them through their grieving process.
We understand that this incident has left the community in shock and seeking answers. We want to reassure you that we are taking every necessary step to enhance security measures within the Baffin Sector and prevent any future acts of violence. We are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all residents and visitors within our jurisdiction.
We kindly request your cooperation in disseminating this public notification to ensure that the wider community is informed about the unfortunate incident. Transparency and open communication are paramount during challenging times, and we believe it is crucial to keep everyone informed.
Sincerely,
Yoshimoto Susumu, Senkaku Regional Development
News reached me about this incident from one of my Pilots. I did not want to believe it at first but there is no time to doubt.
I am in the middle of an election campaign, so I am unable to visit Baffin myself at the time. My men will have to do.
Samura employees, rest assured that we will repay such atrocious acts accordingly and without hesitation. The Nikkyo Consortium's Sera already confirmed their willingness to lead a counter operation and pressure these Zoners into giving up their futile and violent ways.
As always, we stand with Kusari and her people. Such reckless violence cannot and will not be tolerated.
If it means burning down the entire Baffin system, it shall happen.

Senkaku Regional Development representative.
We heard your call and relocated rapid response units spearheaded by the Shimada to Saga.
Operational doctrine limits full-scale support to Saga only. The Admiralty is investigating further steps to be taken against this reckless unprovoked assault on Kusari citizens.
Border Worlds are known to be deadly and dangerous, however Kusari’s continued civilian and military presence alike is instrumental in maintaining the economic base of our civilization such as industry and commerce. While casualties are sadly not uncommon, a full scale attack against a corporate base of our House is an escalation we ought not to tolerate. Zoner aggression is perplexing, however it may be the case of radicalization of this ‘Temporary Autonomous’ cult. You and the families of those deceased in lines of their duty have my sincerest sympathy for forging Kusari’s destiny in border worlds, only to pay the ultimate price.
While the full might of the Kusari Naval Forces may not extend that far out, a private effort may prove to be much faster and more efficient against those ruffians. Therefore in solidarity, I have dispatched one of our bomber pilots to the Tau region to rendezvous with corporate militia and other volunteers. He will investigate the situation at hand and render aid as needed.
With utmost respect, GOVERNOR OF HONSHŪ,
