During a training exercise with our latest operative, CODENAME: KENSHIN, we spotted a Liberty Interspace Trader attempting to pass the New Tokyo Planet's Trade-Lane connecting to the Shikoku Jumpgate in order to sell his cargo of Engine Components. A cargo that is under a recently-added embargo towards Liberty. We gave the pilot in question a chance to sell his items on a Kusari Station to recover at least some of his financial losses. The pilot in question cooperated fully and the embargo was successfully applied without any hostile confrontation.
Dispatched intelligence assets to track down possible trade-routes being used to support Bretonia's war-efforts in the Leeds system and their positions in Tau-31. Agents reported an unaffiliated vessel that was moving through Kusari sovereign territory with cargo of Military equipment. Intelligence assets where dispatched to intercept and track down convoy to its point of destination.
Vessel in question confirmed of docking at Battleship Macduff on Harris high orbit.
Confirmed guilty of suppling Bretonia Armed Force with war materials.
Operation will continue in full force. Omen Deng out.
TO ALL DT-UNITS, BE ADVISED, INCOMING NEW MISSION BRIEFING.
The following document has been released from [color=#FF0000]TOP SECRET status, and is now available in the Operations Database, please note that this operation has already been conducted and is marked with a Mission Accomplished stamp.
--
With the increasing flow of commerce passing by Kusari on a daily basis, we lack the manpower to monitor and deal with every shipment passing. Naturally, such a situation is present for almost any authoritative organization in all the four houses. But, we can increase the effectiveness of the monitoring by using the Hogosha to act as our eyes and ears in Kusari Space. These people deal with merchants on a daily basis, and have been found positioning themselves in chokepoints where they can commit piracy-strikes.
Asking them or striking a deal with them to assist us, will not work, either their demands will be too strong, or they will outright deny cooperation with an organization designed to damage their flow of operations. It's therefore better, to make a setup, gather evidence and use it to blackmail them.
We will fabricate a scenario that is prone to spark a piracy attempt, gather the evidence with intelligence assets and then use said evidence in our favour to strike a deal with the Hogosha organization. In order to succeed in the following, it is required that we purchase a Mining Vessel, universally available, get the necessary certificate and fill it up with valuable unprocessed ore. Thereafter, one of our units will pilot it towards New Tokyo Planet, hopefully on the way we will encounter a member of the Black Dragon Society, hoping to extort it for money. We will escalate the situation the point where the mining ship gets destroyed. Of course, we have made the necessary precautions to make sure the Kempeitai Pilot survives the blast.
[color=red]TO ALL DT-UNITS, BE ADVISED, INCOMING MISSION UPDATE.
Since the launch of Operation: Skywatch, have our intelligence assets managed to track down several foreign shipments supplying and directly aiding Bretonia's war-efforts. The Kaigun Taishō of the Kusari Naval Forces, Hajime Hiroito, has decided that further actions must be taken. As seen on transmission number five.
Therefore we are updating this mission to a secondary level. All confirmed targets, whom have been identified and validated by the Admiral, are cleared to be engaged on sight. Regardless if they are currently supplying the Bretonians or not.
HQ TO DELTA SQUADRON COMMAND
- NEWLY COMMISSIONED SHIP
Few days passed since the new KNF-gunship was commissioned from the Yokohama shipyard and redirected to Kempeitai Forces as a fire support vessel. Primary objective of said vessel is to assist DELTA-squadron operations. All tests were successful and the ship is fully operational.
Crew loaded and a new captain, Kaigun Daii of the Naval Forces, Faith Zane reporting in. Ship is ready for action.
[color=red]TO ALL DT-UNITS, BE ADVISED, INCOMING NEW MISSION BRIEFING.
A tip-off sent by a RepEx pilot has clearly shown a Junkers Congress member stating that an attempt of blockading the Sigma-13 system from Kusari Shipments has been made. This is a direct threat to our house but on-top of this act of aggression made by the Junkers Congress, the same member has also openly accepted a bounty on a Commander of the Kusari Naval Forces.
Although our superiors are currently discussing the best course of action, we have been given temporary orders to bolster the escort-forces for shipments made via the Sigma-13 system. We have also been instructed to transfer combat assets to the Honshu system in order to provide fast-responses to any and all Junker attacks on Kusari Shipments. These units are considered Kill-On-Sight confirmed by the Emperor of Kusari. Proceed with deadly force.
Please be advised, this operation might update to a higher status at which point we will conduct active and constant attacks on all nearby Junkers with the mission to utterly destroy their presence.
Initiating OPERATION: CLOUD CONTROL, dispatched assault assets to exterminate Junker Congress presence in Sigma 13 after direct order of KNF Admiralty. Assault squadron of 2 vessels, "Susanoo" and Operative "KENSHIN" infiltrated into Sigma 13 system and entered a combat with various Junker vessels presented in sector.
Mission result: successful.
With little to no damage assault group engaged and destroyed 2 Junker vessels of Super Heavy Fighter and Heavy Fighter classes. 1 vessels fled the sector. Congress affiliated "Conference" class gunboat made an emergency dock on Helgoland station (ALG) after taking heavy damage.
Group successfully returned to base. Faith Zane out.
[color=red]TO ALL DT-UNITS, BE ADVISED, INCOMING NEW MISSION BRIEFING.
OPERATION: BLACK DRAGON was a both a failure and a success. The success was in the flawless execution of the operation itself. The failure was that we expected the Black Dragon Society to act in their best interests, where they would simply be allowed to freely operate in Kusari without the eyes of the Kempeitai watching over them. In return all they would have to do is forward "interesting data" that they could possibly find during their daily operations.
They however chose to ignore the deal, therefore all monitoring activities on Hogosha members has been resumed as they are not to be considered reliable partners. Greater focus is on members of the Black Dragon Society. Evidence on further criminal activity is to be recorded and logged on this secured database. I will then continuously forward any evidence gathered to the Kaigun Taishō.
The consequences of their unwise decision has merely begun.
Initiating OPERATION: BURNING ARROW, dispatched combat assets stationed in the Leeds system. Proceeded immediately to the Dublin system after setting up an RV-point at the Magellan JH. Received additional firepower by allied mercenary nicknamed Fuyu.
Conducted commerce raiding, intercepted BMM targets and proceeded to confiscate and destroy cargo supplying Bretonian markets. One independent trader carrying deterium towards Planet New London was also shot down. Location was compromised by local Bretonian Armed Forces, enemy targets were quickly neutralized. Performed large scale blockade in checkpoints Victor-Niner-Delta and Romeo-Five-Sierra, two strike units were formed.
After conducting our operation we received minor interference from a Bretonian Armed Forces Battleship utilizing Solaris Turrets and a Bretonian Armed Forces Admiral on our way back. We proceeded back to safezone without receiving any significant damage. Operation-designated targets were successfully destroyed, the Chief-on-Field decided that there was no need to battle hostile military forces due to this reason.
