BRIEF: KUSARI DENIES PREPARING FOR ESCALATION
YUKAWA SHIPYARD, HONSHU - Following rumors that the unusual amount of newly commissioned and retrofitted warships in drydock around Yukawa are slated for deployment on the already tense Liberty-Kusari border, Admiral Isoroku Nagumo has issued a statement condemning said rumors as ‘perfidious Libertonian propaganda.’ The newly christened IKN Minato is said to be in the final stages of shakedown, and is set to launch within the week.

Paper Tiger
Honshu
Setpiece Combat Event
LSF (undercover), KOI, KSP, KNF, Undercover Wild (Chochinbi, Wendigo), Kusari Unlawfuls
DATE & TIME
December 7 - 1900 UTC
OVERVIEW
With no end to Liberty-Kusari tensions in sight, both houses continue to scramble in preparation for the inevitable escalation as a concerned sector looks on with gleeful anticipation and dread.
Though it is uncertain where the leak originated or how the intel fell into the hands of the LSF "White Rabbit" Division, detailed schedules of the IKN MINATO final shakedown inspections have indicated a twenty minute block of vulnerability. Post initial drive tests, the IKN MINATO will move outside of the main YUKAWA SHIPYARD drydock cradle and power down as part of an untethered ECCM and emissions test - wherein she will remain stationary and with no weapons until tests have concluded or fifteen minutes after shots have been fired.
With insufficient time to prepare for a more careful surgical strike, but unwilling to pass up a golden opportunity to set Kusari war preparations back, the LSF has scrambled Task Force CHESHIRE to Sector D2 in the Hiyo Cloud as a operational staging area for a covert 'under cover' strike on the IKN MINATO at YUKAWA SHIPYARD.
DETAILS
Strike Details:
There will be no listed rewards for this specific event, but outcomes will affect certain subsequent events.
- LSF players will base themselves from the "OSC-Cheshire" - a spoofed transponder luxury liner POB in the Hiyo Cloud (D2). All LSF ships must be fully under cover, with no equipment, transponders, or tags that may trace back to Liberty. Freelancer IDs for the purpose of this event are permitted so long as all ships remain on the same 'side' for the entirety of the event and exclusively base off of OSC-Cheshire
- Non-LSF players (everyone else) may base themselves off of anywhere that is not Yukawa Shipyard or Battleship Sado
- All participants that are "under cover" will be considered non-hostile by the Kusari defenders until the first shots are fired - 'undercover' ships in the vicinity of Yukawa Shipyard may be ordered to leave by the Kusari authorities, and treated as hostile if noncompliant.
- The 'IKN-MINATO[x]' will be a titan armored Kusari Battlecruiser that sits inert from 1900 UTC to 1920 UTC, or 15 minutes after the first shots have been fired. Destruction of the IKN MINATO is the goal of the event.
- All ships in this event are limited to Cruisers and smaller (Hybrid Classification Ships such as the Longhorn, Bulwark, Hegemon, etc, EXCEPT the Bustard and the Amaterasu, are permitted).
- Infinite resupplies and respawns are permitted until the IKN MINATO has been destroyed, or until 1930 UTC, after which the MINATO will dock on YUKAWA and 'survive'
There will be no listed rewards for this specific event, but outcomes will affect certain subsequent events.
EDIT: 1800 UTC to 1900 UTC because 8AM my time is a tad early.

Has the POB been placed yet? I looked around but couldn't find it.

The LSF POB should be at the location specified in Honshu

BRIEF: KUSARI DENIES PREPARING FOR ESCALATION
YUKAWA SHIPYARD, HONSHU - Earlier today, the IKN-MINATO suffered a catastrophic engine reactor criticality event resulting in an unplanned detonation event. Investigations are ongoing - but several ministers have insisted that the incident was 'under control' and an accident due to 'human error' during some emissions testing procedures. The Kusari Emergency Services Bureau has issued a 1km quarantine zone around Yukawa Shipyard until further notice while repair crews operate around the clock to put out fires and to quarantine radioactive debris from propagating. It is reported that Yukawa was operating on a skeleton crew at the time of the incident, as all non-critical personnel were evacuated several days ago for security reasons. While there were a large number of unauthorized anti-war and anti-establishment protestors around Yukawa Shipyard, security forces were successful in keeping them a safe distance from the IKN-MINATO. There are no confirmed casualties.
Despite some losses on the part of the LSF strike force, the surprise attack on the IKN MINATO caught the YUKAWA shipyard security forces unprepared. With the MINATO in ruin, the surviving undercover LSF scattered to the four winds, and the Cheshire slipped away to begin her long voyage back to Liberty.
Though the loss of a battlecruiser was a significant setback to Kusari war preparations, the MINATO placement at YUKAWA was a deliberate ruse to attract hostile attentions to the largely civilian shipyard and away from the bulk of real preparations elsewhere.
Given the overt 'ORDER' colors of the attacking ships, the Chochinbi were directed to take over investigations - and full custody of the wreck of the MINATO, which they were quick to drag away out of the public eye.
