Tau-29 Gate: Gate still operational. Full control seized by Exile forces. Also of note is nearest lane ring to Gate is destroyed and non-functional. See Recon Shot B
Exile Battleship Nagasaki: Exile Battleship has moved in-system and has taken position 10k off the gate. minor raids by Naval Forces fighters observed on Nagasaki. See Recon Shot C
Analyst's Conclusion: Gains by Imperial forces in Kyushu suggest plan of securing safe territory prior to full scale multi front conflict across Kusari. Further attacks to secure the entire system are considered likely.
