Subject: After Action Report - Jump Drive Expedition
Priority: High
As part of a mission to test our capabilities with the experimental jump drive technology, the IKN Harukaze took part in an expedition using Tohoku as the main staging point. We were instructed to not divulge any information to personnel not of Gold Class clearance about our destination. The primary goal was to secure and retrieve the long-lost IKN Niyodo back into Kusari.
Unfortunately, intelligence reports have uncovered Liberty's motives for the Niyodo. Fortunately, our fleet arrived just in time, but not upon learning the existence of a heavy lifter called "Argonaut-3". After analysis was done, our priority soon changed to retrieving the lifter back to Kusari for analysis. We were prepared for a possible conflict with Liberty, however they brought a whole fleet determined to secure the ship in their hands.
While we suffered numerous losses attempting to retrieve the Argonaut, it jumped to Kepler, where we faced an unexpected threat in the form of Lane Hackers. With most of our fleet battered from Liberty's unprovoked attack, they forced us to retreat to Shikoku, where the IKN Harukaze is undergoing repairs for the time being. Reinforcements sent into the border were sufficient to deal with a surprise Liberty attack in Galileo. Eventually, the Argonaut was last seen headed to Liberty, but further intelligence shows that the Hackers were in control of it.
Though the end result was quite unfortunate for our side, we are fortunate Liberty has not seized the Argonaut for their own purposes. In the meantime, I recommend increasing border security in case a future war breaks out between Kusari and Liberty.

Sixty-Sixth's Itsumaden reporting in. I bring terrible news.
Following proximity alerts of a large warship near Heaven's Gate, a standard sweep was conducted. The wreckage of the IKN-Numazu was located slowly drifting towards the Izu Field, seemingly destroyed in battle with either Order or Dragon forces.
Ichigaya and the Arch report no communications or calls for aid by the vessel, albeit they were able to confirm it was scheduled to arrive at Ichigaya later today. A local KOI contingent and Ichigaya's salvage wing are already about tow the remnants to the drydocks. They have requested from me to inquiry about the possibility of utilizing the wreck for one of their next experiments. Personally, I would say that we let them. The near magical results of the past years make me believe that they will find better use for the wreckage than salvaging it at Yokohama.
Apologize me overstepping the ranking order, but I urge the NOH and command to facilitate new standard routines given the frequency of assaults surrounding the Arch and our current distraction due to Liberty's foolish games. The Sixty-Sixth will remain at the Arch to assist the KOI in repelling hostile incursions, but we are unable to muster the amount of warships that may be required for this task. We are spreading our forces thin but we cannot falter.

Subject: Hiratsuka's Last Will
Priority: Low
![[Image: 075.jpg]](https://www.gamecity.ne.jp/20xx/img/characters02/075.jpg)
For documentation purposes only as explicit wish of the deceased.
- Name of the deceased: Issei Hiratsuka
- Rank: Santo Kaisa
- Assigned to: S-NGD, IKN-Myoko
- Main assignment: Squadron leader of the 2nd Ryusei training wing
- Last assignment: Unannounced check-up on modular installations in Galileo
- Cause of death: Suffocation
Further, the circumstances which led to his untimely demise as documented by Hiratsuka-san during his final hours:
Hiratsuka's escape pod was retrieved at 4:56 Sirian Standard Time by a KOI patrol in vicinity of the modular installation called "SpaceTech Station". By the time of retrieval, oxygen supplies were already depleted since at least three hours. The escape pod was in terrible shape, first investigations draw the conclusion that the pod was damaged as a consequence of the fire fight, yet the oxygen supplies were intact. This suggests a later, deliberate and cruel execution of Hiratsuka-san by an unknown third party. Such cruelty is inacceptable and the S-NGD is already drawing possible reactions should this mark the beginning of a new trend.
The burial will be held at the Sotome Shrine on Planet Junyo. For his outstanding, long time service with no faults and his courage to stand up against an enemy few would dare to face alone, Hiratsuka will be awarded the Order of the Rising Sun during the ceremony.

The border situation deteriorates further with every passing week.
Responding to the emergency call of the IKN-Tsushima, a small wing of fightercrafts led by myself arrived to Galileo.
We were met with a small token force of Liberty Navy vessels loudly arguing with a sizable Zoner convoy carrying Iridium, which passed by ourselves a little earlier.
This scene took place straight at our border, next to the Shikoku Gate. Following a brief heated exchange during which the Zoners almost settled on carving their path through with violence, they returned back to Kusari space.
Not long after, a Liberty Siege Cruiser bearing LPI identification codes emerged from the Shikoku Gate. A lengthy conversation emerged, which threw so many waves that eventually the Fleet Admiral of the Navy's First Fleet made an appearance. Following a debrief, she classified the Siege Cruiser a containment breach and folded to our pressure to let us scuttle the vessel to ensure a proper data wipe. Concerningly, they insisted on an evacuation effort of the crew they themselves marked as infectees. Due to this circumstance, we must assume that either this vessel was a deliberate test of our borders integrity or that the Republic attempts to handle living thralls through the LSF. Both options are extremely concerning and must be taken into consideration for our future steps. I insist on a KOI led investigation in the near future.
Following the scuttling of the Siege Cruiser, plenty more unlawful contacts than the few who "enjoyed the show" earlier. A skirmish was inevitable and Liberty's forces, whilst some were disgruntled by the fact, accepted an order given to join forces to deter criminal elements. It didn't go as planned, at all, apparently. Seeing the increase of maintenance listings and the dispatchment of towing vessels from the Tsukishima Yards. Oh and I need someone to check the old warehouses. I need a new Tora-class now, this is non-negotiable.
In service of Kusari,
Goryō
