Secretary of Defense,
Chief of Naval Operations,
Admirals,
Just earlier today a wing of fighters belonging to the Kusari Office of Intelligence were sighted not fifteen clicks away from Manhattan, New York. The LNS Akhetaten was immediately hailed in secure channels by the First Fleet officers that were present in the AO.
Included in the vicinity once the LNS Akhetaten arrived were;
Fleet Admiral Sophia Cleveland aboard the LNS Gemini, First Fleet
Admiral Mayling Shen, First Fleet
Captain Samantha Brown aboard the LNS AKhetaten, Forty-sixth Fleet
Lieutenant Jack Kelso aboard the LNS Hidden Valley, First Fleet
Cadet Daniel White, First Fleet
Cadet Morgan Creed, First Fleet
A number of secondary assets
The Kusari Office of Intelligence ships were identified only by their ship callsigns, as;

>RP<Kanako.Yoroi.

The atmosphere was already heated when the LNS Akhetaten arrived at the vicinity, and it was evident that the Kusari Intelligence ships were not there in peace. The Agents were continuously provoking our pilots and it was obvious that they were looking for a reaction, especially given the latest events between Liberty and Kusari. The Navy's stance on the events was adamant; the Kusari Intelligence ships are to surrender or be met with lethal force.
Upon refusing of the Navy's terms, Kusari's forces were engaged by the local units as per Fleet Admiral Sophia Cleveland's orders, who assumed tactical command as the highest ranking officer present.
The hostile intelligence ships were joined by numerous forces during this engagement that spanned around an hour. The following data pertaining to those reinforcements was provided to me by the LNS Akhetaten's CIC.
The Kusari Office of Intelligence ships were joined by the following vessels identified only by their ship callsigns, this list may not be exhaustive;
The following engagement resulted in a bloodbath that saw the First Fleet suffering major losses, including several fighters and the LNS Hidden Valley, however initial search and rescue had no human casualties to report. Upon Fleet Admiral Cleveland's orders, the Liberty Forces were signaled to retreat, as the hostile presence was growing out of control and reinforcements were unavailable. The LNS Gemini and the LNS Akhetaten made a successful retreat from the AO and reached the closest friendly bases safely. All other Liberty Forces that were present in the vicinity are assumed to have retreated, but at that point the fight was taking place so close to Manhattan's outer orbit that any resulting casualties would be quickly attended to.
Fleet Admiral Sophia Cleveland, unlike myself, was present during the entire encounter. Thus she can provide a more detailed debriefing of the conversation that took place between the First Fleet and the Kusari Office of Intelligence Agents prior to the LNS Akhetaten's arrival - should that be necessary.
This concludes my report.
In service to the Republic.
