This station was originally constructed by the Crayter Republic for use as a concealed observation post and to monitor traffic to and from Sarawak Station. In the face of the Gallic invasion of Tau-44, the crew chose to abandon the station to join a larger Crayterian garrison in the system.
The deserted observation post is now populated by a hostile and unknown force.

| [835 AS] Jump bridge a strategic innovation |
|
BATTLESHIP SOMERSET -- 835 -- Admiral William Rowley, captain of the Battleship Somerset, has hailed the Kusari Jump Drive as “a new dawn for military doctrine”. The Armed Forces assault into Dublin used a networked pair of Jump Drives to bypass defensive minefields in the Achill Asteroid Field. “The widespread adoption of this technology will completely upend military thinking regarding fixed defenses,” Rowley noted. Military analysts in both Bretonia and Kusari have raised fears about implications for deescalation frameworks such as the Boorman Treaty, once knowledge of the technology and its capabilities becomes widespread. |
| [835 AS] Fate of the Kappa crossroads uncertain |
|
LIVADIA -- Travellers of the remote Omicrons have gathered anxiously aboard Corfu Station and Freeport 11 while awaiting news from Omicron Kappa. The Core infamously seized control over Planet Gammu in 832 AS, displacing the intelligent machines residing there. Now, these AI have reclaimed their territory, ejecting Core vessels from the system. Rumors whisper of an abnormal Core battleship leading an AI swarm of unprecedented size. Many fear what this development means for the strategically vital crossroads, through which goods from Omicron Delta must travel. The Zoners of Livadia have attempted to contact the enigmatic Gammusians to confirm their intentions, but have received no response. |
| [835 AS] Tribunal punishes negligent officers |
|
NEW TOKYO -- 835 -- Multiple KNF officers have been relieved of duty with immediate effect by a military tribunal. The board, appointed by Shogun Ikeda Yamato, was investigating the conduct of unspecified military operations. The panel dismissed several admirals and many senior commanders for “dereliction of duty” during these classified missions. The findings were privately met with shock by many Naval servicemen, who note the purges have installed replacements affiliated with the KOI’s Lord Tazuka. Anonymous sources have also expressed confusion regarding purges of the Nagasaki fleet, which is not believed to have participated in the relevant operations. |
| [835 AS] Delta under siege as Zeta falls |
|
ZETA -- Following recent clashes in Omicron Zeta, both the Core and Order were left bloodied and reeling. This appears to have been the opportunity the Nomads were waiting for, as a tide of alien vessels poured from the Pohnpei Nebula. Given the scale of the threat bearing down, both groups abandoned their outposts and retreated. Many were killed fighting to buy time for evacuation efforts, with the withdrawal largely succeeding thanks to the support of a rescue flotilla from Freeport 11. The Zoners came to the aid of both parties, arguing that the Nomad threat eclipsed any human dispute. Nomad ships have now begun to pour into Omicron Delta, intensifying raids on human stations. |
| [835 AS] Punitive Omicron expedition fails |
|
ICHIGAYA DRYDOCK -- 835 -- The expedition into Omicron Mu, intended to root out Order terrorists, has failed -- achieving only limited objectives. Disastrously, the Battleship Hakodate has been lost following the intervention of Blood Dragon bombers, critically compromising Kusari’s Omicron defensive screen. Disproportionate casualties were inflicted on terrorist forces, however key shipyard facilities were only minimally damaged. KOI commanders have blamed the failure on “disgraceful” KNF combat performance, while the KNF assert the true fault lies with “profound” KOI intelligence lapses that failed to anticipate the scale of resistance. The Shogun has convened a military tribunal to investigate. |
| [835 AS] KOI warn of imminent Order threat |
|
BATTLESHIP HAKODATE -- 835 -- KOI intelligence indicates that Order and Blood Dragon terrorists are preparing for a third strike against Kusari positions in Tohoku. Their previous assault aimed to disrupt experimental work at the Ichigaya Drydocks, with indications that the next will be an attempt to “finish the job”. Following a persuasive briefing by Chochinbi operatives, Lord Tazuka has authorised a punitive expedition into Omicron Mu, executed by the Battleship Hakodate. Intelligence from the Omicrons indicates that the Core is preparing for their own assault against Order positions -- KOI officers agree timing our own strike to align ensures the greatest chance of success. |
| [835 AS] Niyodo secrets lost |
|
KEPLER -- 835 -- While planning for the Niyodo’s retrieval was underway, a passive guard probe returned to Sirius and broadcast an alert of approaching Liberty forces. The Battlecruiser Misawa generated an emergency breach to Yomi, dispatching the Chochinbi, and other on-hand KOI elements. The Liberty group was intercepted while retreating from the Niyodo, carrying a salvaged component aboard a Heavy Lifter. Available forces pursued the retreating convoy, which blindly exited through a Jump Hole leading to Kepler. Surviving units were forced to retreat from the resulting combat. We must assume the Niyodo’s drive core has fallen into foreign hands. |
| [834 AS] Ichigaya test-firing delayed by raid |
|
ICHIGAYA DRYDOCK -- A significant intrusion by Blood Dragon and Order terrorists has resulted in damage to the Ichigaya Drydock facility. While the severity of this damage was limited thanks to the rapid and overwhelming response by KNF and KOI elements, test-firings of the Ichigaya laser chamber have been temporarily suspended while repairs and inspections are carried out. Lord Protector Tazuka has ordered an immediate redoubling of patrols into Kurosawa Dust Cloud and bolstered support for the Hakodate Taskforce as a warranty against treacherous future raids. Continued deployments of Relay Conduits will resume shortly. |
