Elements belonging to 53rd scouting division have reported an increasing presence in the uncharted system Pioneers Zoners settled in. Today, following positive signatures detection, strike group Takahashi was sent to eliminate the threat.
The battle was an uneasy one. Both Heavy units Takahashi and Mogami were significantly damaged during the encounter, forcing the strike group to fallback towards Battleship Shokaku.
Blood Dragons appears to have suffered significant losses as well. Given the increasing presence of Blood Dragons heavy units in the system, I have taken the decision to relocate Battleship Shokaku far from the Freeport, further in the asteroid field, where Blood Dragons scouts won't be able to locate it for a while.
Shokaku fighters wings will still patrol the area around the Freeport to make sure civilian population stays unarmed.
Heavy unit Takahashi and Mogami will have to be ex-filtrated for extensive repairs on Yokohama shipyard. Our fighters wings will make sure this operation goes smoothly.
As a consequence, I formally request reinforcements to increase our projection capabilities in the system, both to repel Blood Dragons and to protect the civilian population present in the system.
