To Hades Command, this is Commodore Grey reporting.

Argos command was monitoring the situation in Tau-31 near the anomaly to Tau-44 in Harris orbit, when we were approached by both a Kusari Naval warship, the Arashiyama, and a Natio Octavarium gunship, the Victorious March. Understanding talks with the captain of the Arashiyama began once we had disabled our long range sensor rigging, and it appeared at first that neither side wanted conflict, despite the presence of the Kusari Naval Forces aboard Barra Anchorage. While the communications were intriguing to say the least, they quickly deteriorated once confirmation of more approaching units was made. At this point, callsign Zulu had made their approach, and moved into formation with the Argos.

The Kusari pilots, equipped to counter the Argos, made a strong effort to force us out, and despite the efforts of the captain of the Arashiyama, who did make an effort to request our mobilization towards Tau-44, their escorts opened fire without any visible hesitation.
Argos was critically damaged in the resulting engagement, Zulu and Victorious March as well.

We've made our way back to the safety of Tau-44, but cannot account for the full extent of the damage to the ship. A report will be made later in the day once we have confirmation of the extent.

Comm Logs

[28.06.2020 01:43:56] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: And...
[28.06.2020 01:44:15] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: A Colonial
[28.06.2020 01:44:31] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: Argos, if anybody's alive over there, this might be a good time to wake up.
[28.06.2020 01:44:48] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Hai, it definitely would be
[28.06.2020 01:44:51] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: Kusari vessel, this is Taskmaster Flores of the Fourth OCtavarium Fleet.
[28.06.2020 01:45:24] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: What brings you to this corner of Bretonian space?
[28.06.2020 01:45:33] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Taskmaster Flores? Mei Isogai, nice to meet you. I don't think we have any issues with your people
[28.06.2020 01:45:45] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Bretonian space? I think you are mistaken
[28.06.2020 01:46:10] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: That planet is Bretonian, and we're near it. The rest of the system is Crayterian, under treaty terms.
[28.06.2020 01:46:40] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: The planet is Bretonian, hai, but the system has been placed under control of the Kusari Naval Forces
[28.06.2020 01:46:48] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Whichever treaty you refer to, we weren't invited to
[28.06.2020 01:47:24] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: Are you trying to get another Tau War? Because this is how you get a Tau War.
[28.06.2020 01:48:10] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Our interests in this system are simply law and order. The Colonials have refused to cooperate, and have shown that they can't
[28.06.2020 01:48:16] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Keep things under control themselves
[28.06.2020 01:48:48] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Since our forces had to retreat from the Taus years ago the place has been in chaos
[28.06.2020 01:48:55] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Something we are trying to fix
[28.06.2020 01:49:12] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: The system's been peaceful enough for our traders, and the Bretonians haven't had any great complaints over the issue.
[28.06.2020 01:49:35] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Well, when the Bretonians are working with the pirates in the area...
[28.06.2020 01:49:50] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: Which pirates?
[28.06.2020 01:49:57] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: The Outcasts
[28.06.2020 01:50:23] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Right.. now that that's out of the way...
[28.06.2020 01:50:29] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: What's going on here.
[28.06.2020 01:50:31] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: Your intelligence is outdated. The new government on Malta isn't too fond of Bretonia.
[28.06.2020 01:50:40] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: I'd say that relationship is dead.
[28.06.2020 01:50:54] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: They hardly even talk to us anymore, and we've historically been on good terms with Malta.
[28.06.2020 01:51:28] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Hai, but apathy is still indirect support
[28.06.2020 01:51:53] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Even if your groups haven't had dinner together recently, but you aren't actively working against them, it's still as it was
[28.06.2020 01:52:06] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: The universe isn't that black and white, and you know it.
[28.06.2020 01:52:07] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: But, erm, I'm not a diplomat here
[28.06.2020 01:53:07] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: Look, I'm no diplomat either, but I'm well aware of the limitations of my own forces. Natio Octavarium would prefer to avoid
[28.06.2020 01:53:17] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: getting caught in the middle of a war.
[28.06.2020 01:53:32] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Another one, you mean.
[28.06.2020 01:53:40] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Hai, and I would prefer to not start any pointless wars. But the Colonials seem to disagree
[28.06.2020 01:53:46] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: Not like we had much choice in the Gallic War.
[28.06.2020 01:54:01] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: I wouldn't call it pointless when you order someone to vacate their own territory.
[28.06.2020 01:54:14] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: If I kicked down your door and told you to leave your house, would you?
[28.06.2020 01:54:25] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: My CO tried reasoning with your admiralty, and was told to vacate the system because of supposed 'incompetence'.
[28.06.2020 01:54:58] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Their house? Last time I was aware, the Colonials were from Coronado and Tau-44, this system was given to them without
[28.06.2020 01:55:07] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: consulting all the parties in the area
[28.06.2020 01:55:34] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Kusari had no presence in Tau-31.
[28.06.2020 01:55:37] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: If they force the issue, I'll back you up, but I'm trying to avoid getting NO embroiled in this just yet.
[28.06.2020 01:55:46] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: There was no real need to inform them of the ownership amendment.
[28.06.2020 01:55:48] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Argos, our admirality tried peaceful solutions, but instead were met with resistance
[28.06.2020 01:55:49] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: We haven't decided how we want to handle all of this.
[28.06.2020 01:56:15] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Kusari has had interests in this area since the Tau War, it isn't new
[28.06.2020 01:56:35] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Yet the only presence you had was as far as Tau-29, which we were firmly content with.
[28.06.2020 01:57:13] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Hai, but we aren't content with the amount of unlawful activity that comes through this system
[28.06.2020 01:57:24] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: What unlawful activity?
[28.06.2020 01:57:26] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: It isn't a secret that Baffin is a highway for smuggling
[28.06.2020 01:57:57] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: And we monitor it for traffick at all times. We control both ends, or we /did/.
[28.06.2020 01:58:27] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Hai, monitor, but we've actively halted shipments since entering the system
[28.06.2020 01:58:41] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: And you think we haven't?
[28.06.2020 01:58:45] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: A bold assumption.
[28.06.2020 01:58:57] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: You just told me that you monitored it, not blockaded
[28.06.2020 01:59:36] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Blockading all traffic through a route that vital is bound to bite us in the ass, Captain.
[28.06.2020 01:59:42] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: Mr. Evans, please vacate the area.
[28.06.2020 01:59:51] Bob_Evans: I am
[28.06.2020 01:59:55] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: Roger that.
[28.06.2020 02:00:08] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: *Sighs* Blockading the smugglers. I thought that would have been an obvious implication
[28.06.2020 02:00:50] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: I would give you one piece of credit, if I could
[28.06.2020 02:00:58] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: And that would be?
[28.06.2020 02:01:17] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Your main fleet hasn't given any resistance during this. Secondary fleets, hai, and even some
[28.06.2020 02:01:18] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: er
[28.06.2020 02:01:20] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Mercenaries
[28.06.2020 02:01:41] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: But I'm glad to see you haven't resisted too much
[28.06.2020 02:01:48] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: I don't want bloodshed any more than you
[28.06.2020 02:02:21] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: I wish all Kusarians thought as such.
[28.06.2020 02:02:34] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Clearly your own Admiralty didn't have the same vision in mind.
[28.06.2020 02:02:54] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: They do, but when push comes to shove...
[28.06.2020 02:03:16] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: My CO offered them cooperation, but forced submission is not how diplomacy works.
[28.06.2020 02:04:01] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Well, they would have to cooperate in a way that helps us achieve our goals
[28.06.2020 02:04:09] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Telling us to stay at the gate isn't helping
[28.06.2020 02:04:59] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: I'm sure an agreement could have been made.
[28.06.2020 02:05:14] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: If your Admiralty hadn't insisted on treating our nation like an ant.
[28.06.2020 02:05:58] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Hai, and a mutual understanding looks to be in the works, looking at the advancements
[28.06.2020 02:06:37] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: I suppose we'll see, though the last nation that invaded our space wound up displaced from their own homeland.
[28.06.2020 02:06:40] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: And, I don't mean to be insulting here, but compared to Kusari, your nation is, erm
[28.06.2020 02:06:41] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: If I might lend a machete to this intellectual thicket, I'm looking at intelligence reports concerning KNF moves on Gallia.
[28.06.2020 02:06:43] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: You know
[28.06.2020 02:06:57] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: Do you really want a war on multiple fronts?
[28.06.2020 02:07:08] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: That's another thing. I heard the same reports from CIS.
[28.06.2020 02:07:08] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: Because reenacting the Gallic end of the Gallic war isn't a good look.
[28.06.2020 02:07:32] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Well, if I can remind you Flores-san
[28.06.2020 02:07:46] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: It's the Colonials who declared war on /us/ years ago
[28.06.2020 02:07:52] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: If you want my expert military advice, halt further operations against CR and try diplomacy again, before the situation spirals
[28.06.2020 02:07:55] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: We just had our attention somewhere else
[28.06.2020 02:07:57] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: entirely out of control.
[28.06.2020 02:08:10] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: On Republican Kusari, sure. We supported the Emperor and his efforts to reunite Kusari.
[28.06.2020 02:09:08] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Yet you never reached out for a treaty once the Empire was reinstated
[28.06.2020 02:09:08] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: And by "diplomacy", I don't mean make ultimatums. Try actually talking.
[28.06.2020 02:09:13] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: And this would be a good time to work on that overdue treaty.
[28.06.2020 02:09:29] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Hai, /especially/ the one concerning this system
[28.06.2020 02:09:37] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: I agree. I'm not interested in fighting /another/ war.
[28.06.2020 02:09:53] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Pointless, and Kusari has a much bigger fish to fry.
[28.06.2020 02:10:47] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: We do, but a conflict is still a conflict. Just because we are trying to stop Gallia from any future war crimes doesn't mean
[28.06.2020 02:10:54] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: We can stop worrying about pirate activity in Nagano
[28.06.2020 02:11:27] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: I didn't say you should.
[28.06.2020 02:11:41] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Though that's typically a job for your police, yea?
[28.06.2020 02:12:07] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Hai, but joint operations are still in place
[28.06.2020 02:12:15] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: I believe this is the same for every house
[28.06.2020 02:13:12] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Indeed.
[28.06.2020 02:13:48] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: But the point still stands. Until resistance in Tau-31 is pacified, we will continue to operate here
[28.06.2020 02:14:16] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: I guess it is good for me that it doesn't specify /how/ to pacify
[28.06.2020 02:14:45] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: It was pretty much pacified here anyway. Gaian attacks were rare, and the Maquis prefer to attack within Gallia itself.
[28.06.2020 02:15:12] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: The Enclave are still around, but they're nowhere near the threat that the GRN was.
[28.06.2020 02:15:44] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Two minor terrorist groups shouldn't be taken as lightly as the Outcasts, which still operate here
[28.06.2020 02:15:47] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Brigands, Outcasts, and other scum were handled whenever they showed up.
[28.06.2020 02:16:46] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: You say that, yet reality seems different
[28.06.2020 02:17:09] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Brigands, maybe
[28.06.2020 02:17:17] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: I don't think I have ever seen a Brigand, actually
[28.06.2020 02:17:24] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: I'm not that familiar with the KNF. You know what that one is?
[28.06.2020 02:17:26] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Do they even exist?
[28.06.2020 02:17:41] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: The Brigands? Mostly in Gallia proper.
[28.06.2020 02:17:47] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: They tend to stick to within Gallia, though we stopped their smuggling runs when they entered the system.
[28.06.2020 02:19:29] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Well, there is one group held back at least. But that doesn't change the situation
[28.06.2020 02:20:05] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Another one...
[28.06.2020 02:20:36] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Zulu, this is the Argos. Enter formation and stand-by. Keep to neutral.
[28.06.2020 02:20:46] =CR=Zulu: Righto.
[28.06.2020 02:21:43] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: So, impasse.
[28.06.2020 02:21:51] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: This is Crayter space, Captain. We were forced out, but we still retain our stance.
[28.06.2020 02:22:34] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Then I could say the same about this being Kusari space. If I was more childish I would say "We were here first"
[28.06.2020 02:23:06] [KNF]Sk,Hattori: Konichiwa
[28.06.2020 02:23:08] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Ah, finally, you guys had me worried
[28.06.2020 02:23:18] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Further Kusari forces detected. Hail.
[28.06.2020 02:23:21] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: I'll follow your lead. If you want to withdraw rather than fight, I'll do that.
[28.06.2020 02:24:05] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: Well, I'd say the odds just flipped.
[28.06.2020 02:24:07] =CR=Zulu: The Crayter Republic is here to fight off the Gallic threats to Sirius, and the Outcast slave and drug smuggle. Why are you?
[28.06.2020 02:24:36] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: To fight off the Gallic threats to Sirius and the Outcast threat to humanity. Except better,
[28.06.2020 02:25:11] [KNF]'Ronin',|66th: Your military tenacity proves to be pathetic and worthless.
[28.06.2020 02:25:20] =CR=Zulu: If those are your intentions, why didnt you colaborate with us?
[28.06.2020 02:25:22] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Debatable.
[28.06.2020 02:25:24] [KNF]'Ronin',|66th: Do you honestly expect us to believe you can deter either of those?
[28.06.2020 02:25:41] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Erm, not how I would put it, but the message is the same
[28.06.2020 02:25:43] [KNF]'Ronin',|66th: You didn't even put up a fight for Barra.
[28.06.2020 02:25:43] =CR=Zulu: If those are your intentions, then why didnt you colaborate with us?
[28.06.2020 02:26:05] [KNF]'Ronin',|66th: You didn't stand aside when we asked.
[28.06.2020 02:26:15] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Because this isn't your space.
[28.06.2020 02:26:17] [KNF]'Ronin',|66th: Have you forgotten the talks you had with our politicians?
[28.06.2020 02:26:20] =CR=Zulu: Did you come here expecting us to fight you?
[28.06.2020 02:26:42] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: We /just/ had this discussion!
[28.06.2020 02:27:08] [KNF]'Ronin',|66th: We came here to.. cull, what is within our space of jurisdiction.
[28.06.2020 02:27:25] [KNF]Sk,Hattori: You are afterall. Trespassing.
[28.06.2020 02:27:30] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Tau-29 is the extent of your nation's legal claims.
[28.06.2020 02:27:30] Yang.Shi: Master aboard the Arashiyama, I have arrived.
[28.06.2020 02:27:41] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Tau-31 is internationally recognized as Crayter space.
[28.06.2020 02:27:43] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Hai, welcome Shi-san, thank you for coming
[28.06.2020 02:27:51] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Not by us, I remind you
[28.06.2020 02:27:52] =CR=Zulu: If you really want what you claim you want, then why not work with us?
[28.06.2020 02:27:59] [KNF]Sk,Hattori: Your claims to recognition are moot at this point.
[28.06.2020 02:28:05] [KNF]'Ronin',|66th: Negative, Tau-29 is Kusari space, this makes Tau-31 a system bordering Kusari space. Thus, we rule.
[28.06.2020 02:28:17] [KNF]'Ronin',|66th: Your illegitimate claims are known only by few.
[28.06.2020 02:28:30] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Bretonia, Liberty, Gallia..
[28.06.2020 02:28:30] [KNF]'Ronin',|66th: And most importantly, not recognized by the ones who have influence here.
[28.06.2020 02:28:34] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Pretty strong few, huh.
[28.06.2020 02:28:47] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: Indeed. Just a few, minor, insignificant entities like Liberty, Bretonia, and Gallia. Not to mention Natio Octavarium.
[28.06.2020 02:29:17] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: I'm sure Rheinland would too, if they weren't busy with a civil war.
[28.06.2020 02:29:39] [KNF]IKN-Arashiyama: Notice how we weren't invited despite being the /first group. present in the conflict with Gallia
[28.06.2020 02:30:20] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: Listen, I've led men and women into battle. Sent good people to their deaths. I'd rather not do so again.
[28.06.2020 02:30:28] =CR=FV-Argos|47: G: Likewise.
[28.06.2020 02:30:31] NO-OCS-Victorious.March: Let's calm things down, and let the diplomats and politicians talk.
[28.06.2020 02:30:39] [KNF]'Ronin',|66th: Itto-Kaii, what say you we cut the talks.
[28.06.2020 02:30:47] [KNF]'Ronin',|66th: We didn't come here to mingle, afterall.

Patrol Report:

After my recent return to active service, Zulu and myself caught up a strange transmission, almost like static but weirder.
After a quick sweep through the system of Coronado, we found the origin: A full grown Nomad Predator class ship.
Attempts to communicate were made, but as always, those things don't talk and are KoS.
We killed it and recovered a Nomad fuel cell.

As tensions at an all time high, I feel it is more important than ever that we keep our patrols and our space safe. As I was on patrol and filling out my maps of Tau-44 I came across two points of interest. The wreck of Sarawak, and Shonan base. Sarawak looked mostly intact and possibly salvage-able. Shonan base is another story. Records show it was abandoned in the gallic war, but someone is still there. As I pulled close to the presumably empty base it fired on me! A scan showed there are lifeforms on there but who I can not tell. If we can salvage or recover either of these bases, with all due respect I suggest, and request, we do.

On a patrol into Tau-23 wit =CR=Zulu we came across a suspicious situation. We came across multiple capitol class ships shooting at a base. we were out gunned and out numbered so we pulled out shortly after with our lives. I was only able to catch a few gun cams but it was enough.
We sighted BD|Okayama GC-Meian and LG|MNS-Doria. It is evident that the outcasts are helping the Kusarians.

I was cooling down for the night when alarms blared and jolted me awake. My ship and crew departed we were greeted by empty space, and so the search started. Vessel =CR=FV-Ajax had a head start on us and gave me a quick run-down of what we were looking for "The.Scylla". We found the ship above Sabah and engaged with 46th|LNS-Adamant . Both Crayter ships moved to assist and clean up the scum. My ship jumped in front of the LNS ship to protect it from further harm and took a heavy barrage from the Bandits. All ships survived but My ship needed repairs. We gave thanks to all who helped in the engagement and returned to sabah.

While on patrol between Yuma and Planet Baja last night with a wing of Crayterian Nyxes, my scanners picked up a few Outcast VHF pilots including one [LG]Valdivia. We let him know his presence was known and ordered him to depart Coronado at once. He chose to remain and a firefight ensued. The Outcast focus fired upon my newly minted Nyx and I soon found myself on the backfoot against this skilled opponent. We dropped each others shields several times but he seemed able to constantly get past my defenses. Unfortunately, after several minutes of intense fighting, a mine struck my hull and dsiabled my ship. My remaining Crayterian Wing pursued the Outcast but he escaped. My comms were badly damaged during the fight and so a log is not present.
