Greetings Command, as well as my greetings to the officers of the Fleet,
The report that follows summarizes the events that have occurred within Liberty space involving hostile elements, events that the LNS-Akhetaten has been present in, and ones that have Vice Admiral Maria Uhmen worried.
During the 8th of this month, the Akhetaten, following a regular patrol path, found herself in high orbit of Planet Los Angeles. Our long range sensors picked up multiple contacts belonging to Task Force Prometheus, a threat which was thwarted with relative ease thanks to none other than the Fleets ace fighter squadron, Alpha Wing, and their swift response time. However, just as we thought the threat was gone, the Akhetaten's long range sensors detected a small attack group of five unknown hostile contacts closing in on Planet Los Angeles. No more than a few minutes later, the unknown contacts had multiplied, and alien tech was identified to be equipped on some of them, making it clear that the situation we had on hand involved infectees.
While all hostile contacts were dealt with without suffering any major casualties - other than the Fleet Admiral's fighter suffering immobilizing damage - the events that unfolded in California that day are of considerable concern. Not only are the attacks of Task Force Prometheus becoming more frequent, but they are also growing bolder and showing up on our doorstep way more often. Not only that, but the looming Nomad threat has shown itself yet again, something which the Vice Admiral considers a major threat to the Republic.
Furthermore, and more importantly, Task Force Prometheus would show even further signs of increased activity on the 11th of this month. While in the Magellan system, the Akhetaten detected a small Prometheus battlegroup floating not far from Cordova. The battlegroup consisted of a fighter, a bomber and a battleship. After brief dialogue with them, the Akhetaten was engaged by the Osiris-class Incursus, captained by none other than Amy West. After taking down the Incursus, its two snubcraft escorts engaged the Akhetaten, a battle which lasted considerably long, but one in which the Akhetaten came victorious - albeit at a cost, as we suffered incapacitating damage and had to route back to Norfolk.
During our retreat, and while flying towards the jumpgate leading into California, we noticed that another snubcraft belonging to Prometheus was following us, and so we stopped in order to confront the vessel. Not long after, a new party would form, and soon the Akhetaten would yet again be engaged. This time, however, our opponents were a Lane Hacker transport, callsign Deedoss - heavily armed - as well as the aforementioned Prometheus fighter. In addition to those, however, a small - perhaps bomber sized - warform of Vagrant origin engaged us.
We were able to take the fighter down with relative ease, but the heavy firepower the Lane Hacker transport carried turned out to be too much for a warship which was already critically damaged.
These events are worrying. Seeing the Vagrants openly engage the Navy alongside the Lane Hacker and Task Force Prometheus is a most concerning development, and one that will require action to be taken against.
That is all.

The Akhetaten undocked from Norfolk Shipyard today in response to an emergency ping we received about invading Task Force Prometheus forces within the system of New York. Upon sweeping the area, we located multiple snubcraft as well as the INS-Incursus floating about fifteen clicks above West Point.
Not long after spotting the enemy ships, the Incursus along with her escorts were engaged. With the help of local assistance, we were able to not only disable the Osiris-class battleship, but also all of the snubcraft that complemented her.
During the lengthy engagement, I picked up on what appeared to have been a Core Mako-class battleship, captained by some sort of rogue AI with a distinct hatred towards the Technocracy. Unfortunately, with how dire the circumstances were, I was unable to fully grasp the situation until the Prometheus invaders were dealt with.
In turned out that my earlier idea of what was floating around was correct. By that point, the First Fleet's Constellation had arrived in the vicinity, and with Admiral Boehm taking command of the operation, the Akhetaten alongside the Constellation engaged the Mako-class battleship, callsign AIWV-Helios, and we successfully disabled the warship.
Yet again, Task Force Prometheus shows that they are not toying around, this time invading our very own capital with a battleship, nonetheless. These are difficult times, and I recommend everybody to watch out for themselves.

Subject: Report - 6/26/835 | Skirmish in Earhart
Hello Fleet Admiral Kemp-Smith and the other esteemed members of High Command.
Before the beginning of this report on the recent conflagration in Earhart, I would like to humbly express my gratitude for my recent promotion and installation as the superior officer aboard the gunboat Auburn Hills. With that said,
Our folks over at the Office of Naval Intelligence have warned of a infestation of an enemy we have not seen in recent years - the Gauls. With their expulsion from our space, the intertwining border worlds, and Bretonia years ago I had not expected to come across them again so soon, after they were sent home licking their wounds. It seems I was wrong, one would think I would come to expect the unexpected being in the Navy, but the places I find myself in and the people I find myself with these days leave me surprised at every turn.
When I received the order to ship out, I thought there must have been some sort of mistake. I had expected the Gauls to be found once again scurrying about in California or the border worlds, up to their usual tricks of trying to rustle up any and all of our lowly miscreants - any that they could bribe or threaten to fly under their banner. As it turns out, intelligence suggested that they would intrude on Earhart - one of our more treasured secrets.
With all due haste I sounded the alarm and readied the crew of my new command, the Defiant-class Gunboat Auburn Hills for our first real battle maneuvers. The crew has only seen the inside of a simulator the past few weeks so they were quite eager to man the guns, as it were.
Our traversal through the supergate and arrival in Earhart was unremarkable for what must be an incredible distance - those Ageira boys certainly are earning their keep. We were joined by a moderately sized fleet of vessels ranging from the battleship New Jersey to small snubcraft. Our orders were given to act as a screening ship for the larger vessels, to defend them from torpedoes, enemy snubcraft and so on.
I am pleased to report that my crew, on our first deployment in a capital-class vessel since joining the 46th Fleet, exceeded my expectations. During what was an admittedly a one-sided battle due to the lack of screening vessels on the enemy side, all aboard the Auburn Hills performed their duties expertly, without delay, hesitation or anxiety.
The enemy subcraft squadron was fairly numerous, yet we managed to score one downed craft attributable to our guns, and one near-downing.
I greatly look forward to further action aboard the Auburn Hills. The Defiant-class does Liberty's best proud.

Subject: Report - 06/27/835 | Civil unrest on rise
Per orders, commenced on a standard patrol route approved prior to departure.
Began patrol from West Point Military Academy insured all sectors on route to Erie, Pennsylvania with a return trip to New York and then California system were clear. No unusual activity or contacts reported. Trade lanes and local traffic operating well within all legal parameters.
Upon return to Planet Manhattan, noted the presence of a “Bustard” Civilian Light Carrier operating under the callsign Cypher.Cronos. The civilian vessel was positioned outside of the primary trade lane between Manhattan and Baltimore Shipyard, loitering within the area.
Engaged vessel in brief conversation to determine purpose of its presence. Communications personnel of the Cypher.Cronos stated their ship was “guarding Paradise of Freedom Station" a privately owned civilian port, citing a recent increase in criminal activity in the vicinity as justification for the deployment. (Proof attached to black Box)
The decision by Paradise of Freedom’s administration to employ apparent civilian vigilantes or private security forces within close proximity to Planet Manhattan suggests a possible lack of faith in Liberty’s ability to maintain local security between Police or Naval forces already patrolling the systems.
The claim of increased criminal activity, paired with the station's private security efforts, may suggest that organized criminal elements are actively monitoring Liberty patrol routes and timing their operations accordingly. This poses a serious threat to stability and may point to a deeper intelligence breach or coordination among the many enemies we now face in Sirus. As stated no criminal activity was witnessed first hand within the time of my patrol
While the presence of a civilian carrier may appear insignificant, the implications of paramilitary operations this close to Manhattan are strategically significant. Clarity and oversight are critical with further investigations we may be able to get close to the source of this Civilian distress. With the recent increased activity of the Technocracy and Task Force Prometheus I think it is more important now than ever to show a strong front for all of Liberty.
I will continue patrolling according to Command's parameters until further detailed instructions are received or more information is brought to light regarding this situation.
May Liberty extend her wings of freedom to all those in need.

Began my patrol of the Liberty system as per standard orders. Early into the route, I encountered Officer Hana Fujikawa, a newly commissioned LP officer an apparent new branch of law enforcement backed by the Liberty government, according to her. We chose to coordinate our efforts, and her lane scanner proved invaluable in tracking a potential smuggler later identified as Sten Trygg. Upon interception and brief questioning, the suspect claimed to have already surrendered a shipment of Xeno Artifacts to the authorities. Unfortunately, without visual confirmation or cargo scan data, we lacked the grounds to pursue detention or fine. Nevertheless, Sten Trygg will remain on my watchlist for future encounters.
Later in the patrol, we made contact with SV-Aurora, a standard freelancer vessel, who relayed a concerning encounter that occurred two days prior. They described a violent altercation with a rogue destroyer outside Planet Manhattan. The aggressor was identified as The.Fun.Factory, a known menace with sporadic activity usually around Manhattan. According to SV-Aurora, a Liberty Navy officer was present during the incident but failed to assist, reportedly saying only “Good luck” before fleeing. While this sounds suspect, if true, it raises serious questions about conduct and accountability. Verification of this event and identification of the officer involved should be prioritized.
Continuing patrol operations, we proceeded to Paradise of Freedom Station, where I made contact with the owner, who identified himself as Vlad. He confirmed the station operates as a casino and openly acknowledged the hiring of paramilitary units for protection. When asked about specific threats that justified such measures, Vlad gave no concrete explanation citing only his desire to protect his clientele. This seems to reflect a case of affluent overreach, attempting to buy security through sheer financial influence. While his approach is heavy-handed, Vlad appeared sincere in his intentions, though notably aggressive toward criminal elements.
Later in the patrol, now joined by LNS-Argo, we intercepted DTR-CC>Kyrenia, who had unlawfully entered and exited Alaska. They claimed their warp drive malfunctioned, “sucking” them into the system. An excuse that was laughable at best. Once again, Officer Fujikawa’s lane scanner provided the data confirming their presence on the Alaska jump gate. I recommended Argo prepare weapons however, they opted for a diplomatic solution, offering an escort out of Liberty space.
While exiting through Colorado, Kyrenia displayed strange behavior ignoring the trade lanes as if unfamiliar with them, despite having used them earlier. Instead, they chose to cruise through open space toward the Galileo Jump Hole. During this time, they expressed interest in Liberty Ale and that being the reason they were there... which further contradicted the "sucked into Alaska" statement. Officer Fujikawa unexpectedly broke formation to retrieve some, perhaps in an effort to encourage cooperation. Once at the jump hole, a minor conversation took place. I was tired of this frustating conversation and crew so I issued a countdown, warning Kyrenia that force would be used if they failed to leave liberty right now. They took off towards the jump gate and engaged a cloaking device. Their current whereabouts are unknown at this time.
This encounters may be viewed through black box archival for future reference.
May Liberty extend her wings of freedom to all those in need.

[29.06.2025 12:09:49] =/\=Cdt.Hana.Fujikawa: You made a good decision, pilot.

[29.06.2025 12:10:17] Sten.Trygg: cant help that when wrecking can you?
[29.06.2025 12:10:50] =/\=Cdt.Hana.Fujikawa: I understand, then it is best to hand them over to the Police, like you already did.
[29.06.2025 12:10:55] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: The option to destroy the contraband on site is in fact an option.
[29.06.2025 13:09:49] SV-Aurora: Luckily although this is a Science Vessel it is quite well armed so most things I encounter are not a threat.
[29.06.2025 13:11:01] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: All the same no reason to put yourself and your crew in harms way if it can be helped.
[29.06.2025 13:11:19] =/\=Cdt.Hana.Fujikawa: Cortez is still within our jurisdiction to help out if things go south.

[29.06.2025 13:11:31] SV-Aurora: I was recently attacked by a Rogue Destroyer at Mannhattan. Seems to be the most dangerous place in Sirius.
[29.06.2025 13:11:38] =/\=Cdt.Hana.Fujikawa: Safe skies, GMG convoy. The space until Galileo should be cleared.
[29.06.2025 13:11:45] GMG|Keiji.Namura: Excellent. Thank you for the assistance.
[29.06.2025 13:11:51] =/\=Cdt.Hana.Fujikawa: A Rogue Destroyer?!? At Manhattan?!
[29.06.2025 13:12:14] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Recently?
[29.06.2025 13:12:59] SV-Aurora: A couple days ago. A Navy fighter pilot said "Good Luck" and then flew away.
[29.06.2025 13:13:08] =/\=Cdt.Hana.Fujikawa: That's..
[29.06.2025 13:13:12] =/\=Cdt.Hana.Fujikawa: Wow.
[29.06.2025 13:13:13] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: WHAT?
[29.06.2025 13:13:32] SV-Aurora: I got a few good punches in on the destroyer before I was forced to dock though. He will think twice before bothering me.
[29.06.2025 13:13:39] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Identification on the naval craft and destroyer?
[29.06.2025 13:14:12] SV-Aurora: I don't remember the Navy ship since he was inconsequential. The Rogue was "The.Fun.Factory"
[29.06.2025 13:14:24] SV-Aurora: Or something like that.
[29.06.2025 13:14:31] =/\=Cdt.Hana.Fujikawa: That... Sounds like a Rogue capital ship name.
[29.06.2025 13:15:04] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: I've only read about the vessel never had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting the bumbling crew piloting that mess.
[29.06.2025 13:15:17] SV-Aurora: It was Rogue destroyer accompanied by a bomber just loitering outside Manhattan. He was very very drunk.
[29.06.2025 13:15:50] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: As with most rogues they're generally a special kind of stupid.
[29.06.2025 13:16:16] =/\=Cdt.Hana.Fujikawa: At least you exited the encounter with your ship's integrity intact.
[29.06.2025 13:16:22] =/\=Cdt.Hana.Fujikawa: It's... a great shame though.
[29.06.2025 13:16:30] =/\=Cdt.Hana.Fujikawa: That a science vessel had to resort to engaging a Rogue Scylla.
[29.06.2025 13:16:34] =/\=Cdt.Hana.Fujikawa: Outside Manhattan.
[29.06.2025 13:17:34] SV-Aurora: I tried to bribe him Liberty Ale but apparently that offended him greatly.
[29.06.2025 13:17:35] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Thats not acceptable conduct of a Naval officer. On behalf of this transgression I offer my apologies.
[29.06.2025 13:35:00] Vlad: Well I own a casino here in Liberty so guess I'm just lucky
[29.06.2025 13:35:21] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: A casino?
[29.06.2025 13:35:27] =/\=Cdt.Hana.Fujikawa: I've never been to a casino.
[29.06.2025 13:35:34] Vlad: Yes. Paradise of Freedom
[29.06.2025 13:35:58] Vlad: All liberty forces who visit have VIP tickets

[29.06.2025 13:37:36] Vlad: Sure
[29.06.2025 13:38:14] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Cypher.Cronos was giving me details on patroling your Casino as you put it.
[29.06.2025 13:38:52] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Due to an increase in criminal activity. Is there any follow up information you could share about these activities.
[29.06.2025 13:39:02] Vlad: Yes. That is right. I've purchased two 'Bustard' class vessel to patrol around the casino.
[29.06.2025 13:40:02] Vlad: We did have a lot of criminals attacking our visitors for money. It looks like they all coming from Jersey Debris Field
[29.06.2025 13:40:41] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Well I'd hate to think that you would feel that Necessary however I understand some of the clientele casions attract.

[29.06.2025 14:27:38] DTR-CC>Kyrenia: SG: And then i went to Galileo for repairs because radiation was eating through my Hull.
[29.06.2025 14:27:42] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: What did you two witness earlier outside of Alaska?
[29.06.2025 14:27:54] LNS-Argo: Didn't see anything when we arrived.
[29.06.2025 14:28:23] =/\=Cdt.Hana.Fujikawa: The Network only registered the ship emerging from the jumpgate into New York, no contact after that.
[29.06.2025 14:28:39] =/\=Cdt.Hana.Fujikawa: The ship reappeared at Colorado.
[29.06.2025 14:29:46] [OOC] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: ahhh wtf do I do
[29.06.2025 14:29:50] DTR-CC>Kyrenia: SG: Yes, i used a Jump drive.

[29.06.2025 14:30:16] LNS-Argo: If you have a jump drive it should be no issue for you to jump home then.
[29.06.2025 14:30:17] [OOC] =/\=Cdt.Hana.Fujikawa: You can choose for us to guide it out or have it be killed. Your call. You're the OF member here.
[29.06.2025 14:30:36] DTR-CC>Kyrenia: SG: I tried sir, the coordinates for Minor are corrupted.
[29.06.2025 14:30:44] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: My thoughts exactly.
[29.06.2025 14:31:29] LNS-Argo: So... instead of travelling towards the Omicrons from Galileo you chose to come to New York?
[29.06.2025 14:31:42] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Nah im not buying it but fortunately I believe Liberty is more than willing to alleviate your situation.
[29.06.2025 14:32:27] DTR-CC>Kyrenia: SG: Since im stuck in Liberty, i wanted to try Liberty ale, i heard you sell it in New York.
[29.06.2025 14:32:37] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Argo ready your weapons this grows tiring.
[29.06.2025 14:32:47] DTR-CC>Kyrenia: SG: Is that really necessary?
[29.06.2025 14:33:33] LNS-Argo: If you immediately depart Liberty space I don't believe so. However, I do have a 10 missile volley locked on.

Subject: Report - 06/29/835 | One Hellfire of a Day
After a brief resupply at Norfolk, I departed once again and set course for the Magellan system. Upon arrival, I was greeted by Samantha Brown of the Akhetaten. She acknowledged having read my previous reports a gesture I appreciated but she explained was just her job.
Our initial exchange was cut short by the appearance of a contact tagged A/)-Leviathan, who immediately began broadcasting antiLSF rhetoric, claiming knowledge of blacksites and disappearances. He showed great disdain for Liberty’s intelligence operations, speaking in riddles, even referring to himself as a “disembodied voice in my head warning me about the Republic's willingness to discard its own when convenient."
The Akhetaten and Leviathan briefly discussed Task Force Prometheus and its possible relation to the downfall of the Technocracy. Their exchange seemed pleasant at best but was riddled with mental jabs.
Billy.Montana of the LSF arrived suddenly but showed minimal interest in Leviathan’s ramblings, mentioning they were heading for Leeds before departing. Seemed extremely odd, and out of his jurisdiction. It simply left everyone scratching their head. The lack of awareness this LSF agent had was admittedly embarrassing.
Leviathan later revealed ties to both the Technocracy and the Hellfire Legion, boasting about having once stolen a dreadnought. A distress call from NHI-M>Miner-01 interrupted the scene. Upon arrival, I found Billy.Montana already engaged, weapons hot on the miner. The Akhetaten assumed control of the situation after Montana claimed the vessel had been carrying contraband. The items had been jettisoned and destroyed before our arrival, leaving us with no evidence. Montana, operating outside our jurisdiction, opted to escort the vessel to West Point Station. The situation was unusual but resolved without incident.
Shortly thereafter, THR-Overseer.Unit-42-F, Thallia.Thorn, and LNS-Shenandoah appeared on scanners. The AI unit referenced a mysterious comet, which piqued our interest. During this lull, Leviathan casually disclosed a past affiliation with the Corsairs, further boosting his own resume but just seemed to me he lacked the ability to stay loyal to any one organization.
The AI EC]-Theta-A81-1 arrived on scene another Ai, followed by Donbastio (LN) and LNS-Dreadwake. The Akhetaten then lead our task group to Coronado to investigate the supposed comet.
Upon arrival, Dr. F. Johnson, Leviathan, and A/)-Revenant were present, the Dr and Ai began collecting samples. The investigation proved largely uneventful, with no immediate or tangible results. Revenant referred to the object as “alien trash,” while the Doctor ranting about "Mysteries revealing themselves". Not entirely sure if it was echo chamber nonsense but at one point, Revenant and Leviathan slipped away during these rantings... at least on radar.
Dr. Johnson's behavior grew more erratic thereafter, possibly influenced by exposure to the comet or simply stress. The entire event warrants follow-up.
The patrol continued to an inactive alien gate, LNS-Agro met up with us in route. (which I regretfully failed to acknowledge upon arrival). The two AIs and Revenant were already there. The Ai vessel's immediately fled but Revenant began making disparaging remarks about Liberty, suggesting she was in a foul mood. When warned not to take her words too seriously, she quipped that we’d all contract Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. To which I responded yeah I believe in fairy dust also.
As someone who prides themselves a bit on her educational back ground in the scientific fields, I recognized the term as essentially pseudoscientific nonsense, possibly used to mock us or misdirect attention from the gate itself. Whether her goal was psychological manipulation or deflection remains unclear, but the gate warrants future monitoring.
Revenant eventually took her leave vanishing once again with no trace.
We then proceeded toward Cortez, where Frost|Aoi joined our formation. Hostile contacts were encountered near the Cortez gate: Rebel-6 and TFP)-Witch. After a brief exchange Frost engaged and I moved in to support. Witch was neutralized quickly, and I provided cover while Frost engaged Rebel-6 directly. Both hostiles were dispatched, and the remainder of their group fled the area. The remainder of the hostile group alludes me I was solely focused on assisting Frost.
Following this skirmish, we returned to California, where I broke off formation and made my way back to Norfolk Shipyard in New York.
May Liberty extend her wings of freedom to all those in need.

To whom it may concern,
Our patrol today started from Norfolk Shipyard, where we had an arranged rendezvous with Epsilon Six. After a brief exchange with LNS-North.Dakota, we started our patrol by heading to the Northern border to check up on the situation related to the recent reports involving Kusari forces.
Upon entering Colorado, our scanners picked up the presence of a Technocrat 'Revenant', who immediately thereafter retreated.
In Galileo we took down a few hostile Rogues, but found no signs of any Kusari activity. Thus we started heading towards West, our next destination. On our way we made a pit stop at Planet Manhattan to fix a weapon malfunction on Epsilon Six's weaponry.
Upon reaching California system we assisted Battlecruiser Yellowstone in taking down a few more hostile Rogues. From there we flew through Magellan to Vespucci for an educational round trip to Marshall Wreck, Planet Veracruz and the surrounding graveyard.
Unfortunately our history lesson was cut short by three appearing Order fighters with weapons hot: 34th|Anubis, 34th|Firewing and 34th|Melusine.
Thanks to the quick actions of Epsilon Six, we were able to put some distance between us and the Order squadron.
After requesting backup and receiving immediate responses from 46th|LNS-Insolent, 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft, 46th|TFA-Shrike, 46th|Alpha-25, 46th|Alpha-3 as well as LSF ships D47|Zeta-1 and LNX-Sentinel, the situation was quickly dealt with. Both Alphas neutralized the three enemy fighters.
After the fight myself and Epsilon Six resumed our earlier mission while being supported by standby LNS-Sleepy.Hollow. Middle of our recap of the historical events at the graveyard and the wreck of Delaware, 'Revenant' - although cloaked - joined us. Showing no hostility, she shared some of her personal views on past, present and future events. However, the conversation stayed fairly one-sided, with us three soon departing back to Liberty space. In California I bid farewell to both my companions and with that returned to New York, concluding the patrol.

Subject: Report - 24/07/835 | Order group behind Los Angeles
The following report is highly important and in some degree concerning.
After the latest encounter with Order pilots in Vespucci, my wingman Alpha-17 and me had now gotten on the tracks of double the amount of Order pilots.
We received a nearby call from California from where we got contacted by an LSF vessel called "D47|Zeta-1" that he found said Order pilots behind Planet Los Angeles.
Arriving in California, we picked up contact of six vessels going by the callsigns: "Tau-4", "Tau-9", "Tau-6", "Tau-3", "Tau-2", and "Tau-7".
We flew to the position where they were reported and found an ongoing fight between the LSF vessel and another snubcraft vessel affiliated to the Interspace Commerce.
Alpha-17 and myself lost no time to engage in the battle and quickly took control of it.
The hostile Order pilots were quickly taken care of.
Our ships have been waited and repaired after returning to New York.
If this was just a rare encounter, it would be less meaningful.
However, with the rising numbers of encounters with such hostile groups, I advise more caution and more frequent patrols.
If situations like these become more and more frequent, I suggest the establishment of a specialized squadron for extended purposes with low restrictions when executing important operations to secure the safety of Liberty and its civilians.

Fleet.
The recent engagement with Kusari's forces had left me injured, after the disabling of LNS Yorktown - which I was in command of for the operation - and I was unable to file a report on the subject. Having fully recovered, I am now able to inform the Fleet of the events that took place in Galileo two days ago.
The LNS Yorktown saw an emergency deployment in the vicinity of the Shikoku jumpgate, Galileo system, in order to support a small contingent of Forty-Sixth snubcraft that were positioned in the AO. Fleet Admiral Martin Kemp-Smith, among others, was part of the wing.
While I was not debriefed on the purposes of this operation, I later on figured out that we were looking for Kusari's representatives in order to begin talks regarding the corporate situation in Galileo and ensure it does not lead us to an armed conflict. Fleet Admiral Kemp-Smith made our peaceful intentions very clear, ensuring Kusari's forces that our battlegroup sought nothing more than attention in order for those dialogues to occur. When confronted about why Kusari wasn't contacted over official channels, the Fleet Admiral very rightfully pointed out how surface-level such transmissions are and how they do not match the severity of the matter at hand. He added that he would much rather have these talks face-to-face, or perhaps more fitting, ship-to-ship, than over the neural net.
The logic in the Fleet Admiral's words was seen by the representative of the Kusari Naval Forces that was in the AO, however, a KOI agent who was present - Akito.Koyuki - did not agree. She opened fire on our forces while we were ordered to hold our fire. The LNS Yorktown was ordered by Fleet Admiral Kemp-Smith to retreat, but the tradelane in front of us was disrupted by Kusari's forces. Additionally, when the Yorktown begun charging its cruise engines in order to retreat, cruise disruptors were fired against us, rendering us immobile. During that time, Kusari's forces were engaged on ours, and some of our pilots had already sustained heavy damage. Again, without us having fired a shot.
It was at that point that the Fleet Admiral ordered an attack, but it was already too late.
Our forces were not only significantly outnumbered, but also had suffered considerable damage by then. The Yorktown went down first, to the combined efforts of a Zoner cruiser, The.Accord, and a KNF Tokugawa-class battleship, KNS-Aneka. Slowly, all of the snubcraft followed the same fate.
[25.07.2025 21:11:13] 46th|LNS-Yorktown: Brown: Yorktown on station.
[25.07.2025 21:11:25] Grace.Dawson: Quite the party.
[25.07.2025 21:11:29] 46th|William.Thompson: Hail LNS-Yorktown, a welcome sight for sure.
[25.07.2025 21:11:50] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Very well. You will have to forgive my ignorance, but what rank equivalent is that, exactly?
[25.07.2025 21:11:54] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: If any.
[25.07.2025 21:12:05] [KNF]Onryo-1: In regular ranking terms, hm. That would be the equivalent of a Lieutenant-Commander, I suppose.
[25.07.2025 21:12:46] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: And that was linked to, Tonbonki, was it?
[25.07.2025 21:13:31] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Also, welcome Yorktown and Miss Dawson.
[25.07.2025 21:13:37] [KNF]Onryo-1: Tonbokiri. A callsign. The 66th operates under callsigns. If you want my name, good luck requesting it.
[25.07.2025 21:13:41] 46th|LNS-Yorktown: Brown: Fleet Admiral.
[25.07.2025 21:13:44] 46th|Alpha-25: Greetings.

[25.07.2025 21:14:07] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: It's basic information, but I guess your rank will suffice.
[25.07.2025 21:14:35] [KNF]Onryo-1: So what do we owe this questionable display to?
[25.07.2025 21:14:41] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: In Liberty, a Lieutenant Commander is often referred to as a Commander, so I'll extend our customs and courtesies --
[25.07.2025 21:14:46] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Towards yourself.
[25.07.2025 21:15:24] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: We've come to enquire, ideally with top Kusari brass, as to the recent events between our respective Corporations.
[25.07.2025 21:15:37] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: As we both know, tensions are seemingly high.
[25.07.2025 21:16:16] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: So, would prefer to get first-hand information straight from the source.
[25.07.2025 21:17:40] [KNF]Onryo-1: Is that so.. I'll return to Shikoku then. Directly tell them to appear here for.. an Admiral, was it?
[25.07.2025 21:18:04] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Fleet Admiral. Martin Kemp-Smith, Commanding Officer of the Forty-sixth.

[25.07.2025 21:18:48] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Will you be departing, too, Kamaitachi?
[25.07.2025 21:19:38] Higa-Taikyu: It would look like there is a lot of you.
[25.07.2025 21:19:54] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: You are correct.

[25.07.2025 21:20:36] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Sorry, didn't quite understand your meaning, Agent.
[25.07.2025 21:21:29] Higa-Taikyu: Just pointing it out that you are more aware then the LSF agent.

[25.07.2025 21:21:50] [KNF]'Onamazu': So the Forty-Sixth wishes to consult with a higher up, did I catch that right, Admiral?
[25.07.2025 21:21:53] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: I'm sure the Agent is very good in his field.
[25.07.2025 21:22:00] <|>Kamaitachi: The Libertonian Fighter Group had entered Shikoku a while ago
[25.07.2025 21:22:06] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Affirmative, that is correct.

[25.07.2025 21:27:00] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Correct. I'm sure we've both seen the recent news reports of such.

[25.07.2025 21:30:45] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Very well. A shame, but understandable. Retention of such a report would have been useful.
[25.07.2025 21:30:56] Jackhammer: Waaaaait, is this about that news article?
[25.07.2025 21:31:02] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: But the remarks surrounding Bristol are noted, regardless.
[25.07.2025 21:31:13] Jackhammer: Wait-- are you ALL here because of those Platinum disputes?
[25.07.2025 21:31:35] Akito.Koyuki: No. I'm more interested on why the Navy is trespassing because of... some pirates, I gather?
[25.07.2025 21:31:38] [KNF]'Onamazu': It appears neither sides corporate entities wish to - in any legally binding capacity - admit to anything anyway.

[25.07.2025 21:31:55] [KNF]'Onamazu': Which makes this all very confusing.
[25.07.2025 21:32:01] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: That would appear to be the case.
[25.07.2025 21:32:10] Jackhammer: Hey, I've got freedom of speech. Don't I?
[25.07.2025 21:32:12] KNS-Aneka: CO: Battleship Aneka on station.
[25.07.2025 21:32:17] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Well, I'll share my stance on the matter, should you care for it.
[25.07.2025 21:32:29] Jackhammer: True!
[25.07.2025 21:32:35] Jackhammer: And there are several!
[25.07.2025 21:32:43] [KNF]'Onamazu': You've already gone through the trouble of somehow justifying the deployment of so many assets, just to converse.
[25.07.2025 21:32:46] [KNF]'Onamazu': So hai, I do care.
[25.07.2025 21:33:18] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Very well. Naturally, I'm duty-bound to protect Liberty and her interests.
[25.07.2025 21:33:35] Jackhammer: Hey, I'd hate to be the voice of reason, but you guys just brought in an entire Tokugawa. There's lots of assets here.
[25.07.2025 21:33:39] Jackhammer: On both sides, too.
[25.07.2025 21:33:53] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: That said, given the uncertainly of recent events, would of course prefer to diplomacy, or fact-finding, before this --
[25.07.2025 21:34:02] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Ever escalates to anymore more than it need be.
[25.07.2025 21:34:16] Aka.Manto|Aoi: It's only natural to deploy heavy assets when the front door to one's House -- literally -- is being, proverbially,
[25.07.2025 21:34:22] Aka.Manto|Aoi: knocked on by a colossal warship.
[25.07.2025 21:34:27] Akito.Koyuki: You have diplomats Admiral. Lines of communication.
[25.07.2025 21:34:33] Akito.Koyuki: You dare insult us like so?
[25.07.2025 21:34:49] Akito.Koyuki: You dare to tred on Kusari as if she were your lap dog?
[25.07.2025 21:34:58] [KNF]'Onamazu': Hm. Quiet, Koyuki-san.
[25.07.2025 21:35:02] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: You're response to our presence is expected, and we would, of course, deploy in a similar fashion.
[25.07.2025 21:35:07] The.Accord: L: *lights a cig-stick, listening in quietly*
[25.07.2025 21:35:20] Higa-Taikyu has begun docking on KNS-Aneka
[25.07.2025 21:35:21] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: We do, yes, but as I told one of your Officers already; I'd rather come get it myself, in person.
[25.07.2025 21:35:25] Jackhammer: What's the point of "deploying" anything? Liberty's Supreme Court has already dropped down the verdict!
[25.07.2025 21:35:35] [KNF]'Onamazu': Now please, I share the sentiment of avoiding an escalatory spiral. So I suspect you came here bearing questions -
[25.07.2025 21:35:39] [KNF]'Onamazu': beyond that single one?
[25.07.2025 21:36:47] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Correct. I believe the treaty surround our respective "halves" of the system were voided some time ago.
[25.07.2025 21:36:58] Jackhammer: Well, boys.
[25.07.2025 21:37:02] Jackhammer: It's been a pleasure.
[25.07.2025 21:37:10] Jackhammer: I'm on the right side now.
[25.07.2025 21:37:17] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: But, without probable cause, I'll assume you would like it reinstated?
[25.07.2025 21:38:25] [KNF]'Onamazu': I can't recall either side formally resigning from it. Is it in a weird spot after decades of no amendments and care?
[25.07.2025 21:38:35] [KNF]'Onamazu': Most certainly. Void? No.
[25.07.2025 21:38:55] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: I don't think either parties have held to it for some time. I would count that as voided.
[25.07.2025 21:38:55] [KNF]'Onamazu': The "line" is still drawn at the Raiden Bend.
[25.07.2025 21:39:15] Jackhammer: Uh, yeah. You all should, like, step back a little more. From like, Kusari?
[25.07.2025 21:39:23] Jackhammer: C'mon, guys.
[25.07.2025 21:39:31] The.Accord: L: *takes a long drag and lets out a cloud of smoke.* It would not be the first time a line was re-written for Liberties sake.
[25.07.2025 21:39:35] KNS-Aneka: CO: Far be it from a Junker to have the wisest words.
[25.07.2025 21:39:48] <|>Kamaitachi: Libertnonians, you are the Ones, who escalates this conflict
[25.07.2025 21:39:50] Akito.Koyuki: That is not how the treaties work. You clearly see these gates displaying our markers.
[25.07.2025 21:39:56] <|>Kamaitachi: Turn back at once!
[25.07.2025 21:40:08] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Nothing has escalated, Kamaitachi.
[25.07.2025 21:40:16] Jackhammer: Turn back, or you will be crossing the will of Kusari... or whatever.
[25.07.2025 21:40:18] [KNF]'Onamazu': *He sighs*
[25.07.2025 21:40:27] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: This is heightened diplomacy, at it's finest.
[25.07.2025 21:40:29] Jackhammer: Come on, I just want my money.
[25.07.2025 21:40:42] [KNF]IKN-Harukaze: RO: You seem to like gunboat diplomacy.
[25.07.2025 21:40:49] Aka.Manto|Aoi: It's provocation, Admiral, and you know that just as well as I do.
[25.07.2025 21:41:01] The.Accord: L: *kicks back on a plastic, fold out chair.*
[25.07.2025 21:41:10] Jackhammer: No... it's impossible.
[25.07.2025 21:41:12] Aka.Manto|Aoi: Liberty's military-industrial complex is no doubt frothing at the mouth.
[25.07.2025 21:41:14] The.Accord: L: This could take a while.
[25.07.2025 21:41:27] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: I would have thought Kusarian's would rather respect a face-to-face meeting like this.
[25.07.2025 21:41:41] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Personally, I'd rather be here, in front of you all, that sat behind a screen.
[25.07.2025 21:41:47] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Maybe that's just me.
[25.07.2025 21:41:48] Jackhammer: Uh, yeah. Should've done that through the Neural Net.
[25.07.2025 21:41:53] Jackhammer: Personal space.
[25.07.2025 21:41:54] Akito.Koyuki: Disgraceful Libertonian.
[25.07.2025 21:41:55] Jackhammer: And all.
[25.07.2025 21:41:59] <|>Kamaitachi: We would've like to hear an official offer instead of breaching into the Kusarian Space as if this is your house space.
[25.07.2025 21:42:13] [KNF]'Onamazu': It is much preferable, although not paired with a breach of protocol like that.
[25.07.2025 21:42:31] [KNF]'Onamazu': Nevermind, you're here now and we'll work with that.
[25.07.2025 21:42:44] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Well, you've my word no such breach will occur again, without requirement.
[25.07.2025 21:42:51] [KNF]'Onamazu': Anything else beyond discussing matters -we- cannot even decide on, such as inter-colony treaties?
[25.07.2025 21:42:53] Jackhammer: Oh, okay. See ya.
[25.07.2025 21:43:12] Akito.Koyuki: Speaking of treaties.
[25.07.2025 21:43:23] The.Accord: L: *is handed a cup of steaming hot coffee from a bridge crewmen and slurps from it.*
[25.07.2025 21:43:28] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Nothing else, at this time. Have you any questions of me, at all?
[25.07.2025 21:44:00] [KNF]'Onamazu': Just one.
[25.07.2025 21:44:06] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Proceed.
[25.07.2025 21:44:07] Jackhammer: Here we go.
[25.07.2025 21:44:32] [KNF]'Onamazu': What makes you think the LNS-Yorktown needs to be here for, given the nature of your travel here?
[25.07.2025 21:44:44] [KNF]'Onamazu': It could have easily respected the line drawn and stayed behind the Raiden Bend.
[25.07.2025 21:45:03] 46th|Alpha-25: brb
[25.07.2025 21:45:19] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Was a security measure taken. Given the uncertainly of the situation, I was unsure as to how Kusari would respond.
[25.07.2025 21:45:39] Jackhammer: Risky move, boss.
[25.07.2025 21:45:55] [KNF]'Onamazu': And you get on the brilliant idea of using -a Carrier- as security token? Something easily tens of times more -
[25.07.2025 21:46:04] [KNF]'Onamazu': provocative to park at our border than several snubcrafts?
[25.07.2025 21:46:12] Jackhammer: What an affront!
[25.07.2025 21:46:27] [KNF]'Onamazu': Admiral, I think you need to reconsider for the future.
[25.07.2025 21:46:32] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: We are primary fighter-craft, so a carrier, naturally, seemed appropriate.
[25.07.2025 21:46:35] Glencoe: *Tips Hat* Well hello there.
[25.07.2025 21:46:49] Jackhammer: Oh, look, a Scarab.
[25.07.2025 21:46:55] [KNF]'Onamazu': And it could have stayed at the Raiden Bend. A respectable distance.
[25.07.2025 21:46:59] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: However, the nature of our mission here was fact-finding first and foremost.
[25.07.2025 21:47:11] [KNF]'Onamazu': It is, by all means, a considerable slip up, Admiral.
[25.07.2025 21:47:13] [KNF]IKN-Harukaze: RO: You make excuses to justify your "invasion".
[25.07.2025 21:47:14] [KNF]'Onamazu': Consider it for the future.
[25.07.2025 21:47:22] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: And to touch-base with officials of Kusari, which we have achieved.
[25.07.2025 21:47:28] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Duly noted.
[25.07.2025 21:47:30] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: Well its a single alien organism.
[25.07.2025 21:47:39] <|>Kamaitachi: We've Secured one, Friends.
[25.07.2025 21:47:40] Akito.Koyuki: Excuses, that of which you willingly ignore our precious space.
[25.07.2025 21:47:55] Akito.Koyuki: You failed to reach out through the official channels.
[25.07.2025 21:48:02] Akito.Koyuki: Now you sit here, disgracing Kusari more.
[25.07.2025 21:48:50] Tip: Be careful when picking out the ID for your character. Generic IDs offer much more freedom, but are severely limited in terms of combat as well as the size of ship these characters can pilot.
[25.07.2025 21:49:04] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: You were clearly too busy doing something else whilst I duly noted Onamazu's remarks.
[25.07.2025 21:49:18] Aka.Manto|Aoi: They're testing the waters. Where will their next diplomatic meeting occur? At Junyo's fisheries?
[25.07.2025 21:49:36] [KNF]'Onamazu': Koyuki. Calm your tone or I'll see for you to be detained on charges of sabotage acts.
[25.07.2025 21:50:08] The.Accord: L: *stands up, nods off screen. The bright green fold out chair tis stowed away.*
[25.07.2025 21:50:09] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: I appreciate the situation is highly sensitive at the moment, but we mean no threat to you or Kusari.
[25.07.2025 21:50:25] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: So do not misunderstand our position.
[25.07.2025 21:50:55] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: I understand your views and shall respect the remarks that have been made by the senior officer.
[25.07.2025 21:50:55] Akito.Koyuki: I was ordered to be here by Command, to clear the Capital Obstruction. I cannot fail the Emperor in his will.
[25.07.2025 21:50:57] [KNF]'Onamazu': Be assured, we're not "misunderstanding" anything. Neither do we misinterpret.
[25.07.2025 21:51:31] Akito.Koyuki: Therefore I must ask that the Yorktown departs immediately and that the Navy Admiralty MUST reach out on
[25.07.2025 21:51:33] Akito.Koyuki: Official channels.
[25.07.2025 21:51:41] Akito.Koyuki: I will not disobey my orders.
[25.07.2025 21:52:02] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: I'll accept such a request from a primary officer, given there is one present.
[25.07.2025 21:52:35] Higa-Taikyu: I don't understand why is it that a problem?
[25.07.2025 21:52:47] Akito.Koyuki: You will accept this as a request of lawful authority - from who's soil you are treading upon. You have no authority here
[25.07.2025 21:52:49] [KNF]'Onamazu': By all means, I can apply pressure on our KOI units to stay in line but they're decoupled from Naval Command, more so-
[25.07.2025 21:52:51] Akito.Koyuki: You must obey and leave.
[25.07.2025 21:52:51] [KNF]'Onamazu': from my own.
[25.07.2025 21:53:03] 46th|Alpha-17: Admiral.
[25.07.2025 21:53:12] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Send it, seventeen.
[25.07.2025 21:53:13] Higa-Taikyu: We have those channels for a reason.
[25.07.2025 21:53:18] Jackhammer: I'm sorry, sir. It's time for you to leave.
[25.07.2025 21:53:21] Akito.Koyuki: Depart immediately.
[25.07.2025 21:53:24] 46th|Alpha-17: Do you want me to handle the loud mouth?
[25.07.2025 21:53:36] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Negative.
[25.07.2025 21:53:42] Aka.Manto|Aoi: Not here to escalate, hm?
[25.07.2025 21:53:46] Aka.Manto|Aoi: Keep your dog in line.
[25.07.2025 21:53:56] Higa-Taikyu: They already did.
[25.07.2025 21:53:57] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Well, seems your agents have itchy trigger fingers.
[25.07.2025 21:53:57] Aka.Manto|Aoi: And preferably on a leash.
[25.07.2025 21:53:59] Akito.Koyuki: The Navy are failing to return to their side. Moving in to detain.
[25.07.2025 21:54:09] 46th|William.Thompson: That "dog" happens to be an officer of the Liberty Navy. I'd watch your tone.
[25.07.2025 21:54:21] Jackhammer: Hey, look, bud.
[25.07.2025 21:54:23] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Yorktown-actual, come in.
[25.07.2025 21:54:25] 46th|William.Thompson: We have shown respect and we expect it in return.
[25.07.2025 21:54:35] Salvager: Hmm... might get some scrap today after all.
[25.07.2025 21:54:35] 46th|LNS-Yorktown: Brown: Hear you loud and clear, Admiral.
[25.07.2025 21:54:41] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: All units, stand by for orders.
[25.07.2025 21:54:43] Jackhammer: I got some money for this.
[25.07.2025 21:54:48] 46th|Alpha-17: Back away pup.
[25.07.2025 21:54:48] [KNF]'Onamazu': Koyuki. That's taking it a bit far.
[25.07.2025 21:54:49] 46th|William.Thompson: Thompson taking hits
[25.07.2025 21:54:50] [KNF]'Onamazu': What.
[25.07.2025 21:54:51] KNS-Aneka: CO: Oh my.
[25.07.2025 21:54:59] Jackhammer: I think I'm going to get even more if I get this done.
[25.07.2025 21:55:03] D47|Zeta-1: Stay calm.
[25.07.2025 21:55:04] Jackhammer: So - last warning. Leave - now.
[25.07.2025 21:55:05] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Yorktown-actual, return to the Raiden bend.
[25.07.2025 21:55:07] 46th|William.Thompson: Unknown vessel, this is your last warning to cease your actions or be destroyed.
[25.07.2025 21:55:11] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: All fighters, stand down!
[25.07.2025 21:55:13] 46th|LNS-Yorktown: Brown: Affirmative.
[25.07.2025 21:55:17] 46th|Alpha-17: Roger.
[25.07.2025 21:55:19] 46th|LNS-Yorktown: Brown: Departing.
[25.07.2025 21:55:23] Natsu.Kitamura: Ain't that some...
[25.07.2025 21:55:23] Jackhammer: Ahhh, screw it. I was born Libertonian, I'll die Libertonian.
[25.07.2025 21:55:25] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Escort the Yorktown.
[25.07.2025 21:55:28] Jackhammer: But for the RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY.
[25.07.2025 21:55:29] 46th|Alpha-25: Standing by.
[25.07.2025 21:55:31] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Zeta-one, advise you break off.
[25.07.2025 21:55:33] [KNF]'Onamazu': Goddamn it. Koyuki, I'll pull you out of that pod myself if needed.
[25.07.2025 21:55:39] Akito.Koyuki: I have my orders.
[25.07.2025 21:55:40] <|>Kamaitachi: Prepare to Engage.
[25.07.2025 21:55:43] Akito.Koyuki: Are they finally listening?
[25.07.2025 21:55:43] 46th|Jasmine.Ravenloft: He layed into me I did nothing.
[25.07.2025 21:55:48] Jackhammer: Here we go!
[25.07.2025 21:55:48] Akito.Koyuki: You were told to leave.
[25.07.2025 21:55:52] KNS-Aneka: CO: It appears the Libertonians are leaving.
[25.07.2025 21:55:53] Akito.Koyuki: Decide if you are leaving in two seconds.
[25.07.2025 21:55:54] KNS-Aneka: CO: About time.
[25.07.2025 21:55:56] Akito.Koyuki: One second.
[25.07.2025 21:56:04] Akito.Koyuki: I do not see cruise engines.
[25.07.2025 21:56:07] Jackhammer: Let's do it!
[25.07.2025 21:56:08] Natsu.Kitamura: I shouldn't have taken the transfer out of Honshu.
[25.07.2025 21:56:13] 46th|Alpha-25 has set 46th|William.Thompson as group target.
[25.07.2025 21:56:19] The.Accord: L: *with a nod to her crew, engines and weapons power up on the Accord.* Let's get to work.
[25.07.2025 21:56:23] D47|Zeta-1: Fuck this one
[25.07.2025 21:56:29] Natsu.Kitamura: Alright, we got friendlies under fire.
[25.07.2025 21:56:34] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Very well. All units, defend yourselves.
[25.07.2025 21:56:34] Higa-Taikyu: BAnzai!
[25.07.2025 21:56:35] Natsu.Kitamura: Moving in to cover.
[25.07.2025 21:56:39] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith: Engage the Kusarians.
[25.07.2025 21:56:44] 46th|Alpha-25: Primed.
[25.07.2025 21:56:44] <|>Kamaitachi: Defending Friendly units.
[25.07.2025 21:56:44] 46th|LNS-Yorktown: Brown: We just got our cruise engines disrupted.
[25.07.2025 21:56:45] <|>Kamaitachi: Engaging
[25.07.2025 21:56:47] [KNF]'Onamazu': Ah.
[25.07.2025 21:56:47] 46th|Alpha-25: Moving in to engage.
[25.07.2025 21:56:49] 46th|M.Kemp-Smith has set Akito.Koyuki as group target.
[25.07.2025 21:56:50] [KNF]'Onamazu': What was that?
[25.07.2025 21:56:55] [KNF]IKN-Harukaze: RO: Standing by, ping if you need assistance.
[25.07.2025 21:56:57] The.Accord: L: Think fast brown
[25.07.2025 21:56:58] 46th|LNS-Yorktown: Brown: Order acknowledged.
[25.07.2025 21:57:00] KNS-Aneka: CO: The carrier is turning.
[25.07.2025 21:57:02] [KNF]'Onamazu': All.
[25.07.2025 21:57:02] KNS-Aneka: CO: Target it.
[25.07.2025 21:57:03] [KNF]'Onamazu': I see.
[25.07.2025 21:57:04] Aka.Manto|Aoi: So be it.
[25.07.2025 21:57:07] 46th|LNS-Yorktown: Brown: All hands to battlestations.
[25.07.2025 21:57:07] [KNF]'Onamazu': Nevermind it then.
[25.07.2025 21:57:11] KNS-Aneka: CO: Destroy them.
[25.07.2025 21:57:20] KNS-Aneka: CO: For the Emperor!
[25.07.2025 21:57:30] [KNF]'Onamazu': So much to the escalatory spiral.
[25.07.2025 21:58:11] [KNF]IKN-Harukaze: RO: Very well. Time to assist.
[25.07.2025 21:58:21] [KNF]'Onamazu': Fuck it. We'll see this through to the end then.
[25.07.2025 21:58:25] [KNF]'Onamazu': Guns unlocked.
[25.07.2025 21:58:28] Salvager: Been a minute since I've scrapped a carrier! This is going to be a nice haul.
[25.07.2025 21:58:30] [KNF]IKN-Harukaze: RO: Moving in to engage.
[25.07.2025 21:58:40] [KNF]'Onamazu': Gome, Admiral.
[25.07.2025 21:58:48] 46th|William.Thompson: They're fast!
[25.07.2025 21:58:48] Whiskey-5: need help?
[25.07.2025 21:58:50] Jackhammer: I wasn't expecting that I'd be starting an international incident today.
[25.07.2025 21:58:57] 46th|William.Thompson: I've got damage
[25.07.2025 21:59:56] [KNF]'Onamazu': Jackhammer, stay out.
[25.07.2025 22:00:09] The.Accord: L: Good work

Ensign Jackson reporting.
Good evening command,
16/09/835, 19:02: Upon receiving LSF intel of a possible Outcast incursion, I sortied from Battleship Missouri to link up with our fleet in Planet Manhattan orbit. Within our fleet was Commondore Chiavallati onboard LNS-New Jersey, Alpha-28, Sigma-0, and Bravo-42. We were also joined by several vessels from the Navy's 2nd fleet, and the LSF's D47, and LSS divisions.
Once we were assembled, we mobilized to face Outcast fleet, and we located their vessels near Norfolk Shipyard. They were a contingent of Outcast capital ships, and snubcraft, with some Liberty Rogue warships alongside them. After a brief exchange, it was determined that they would not be deterred. Commondore Chiavallati gave the order to engage the enemy vessels.
The enemy was no match for our fleet's coordination and firepower. It didn't take long before they were broken, and defeated while the 2nd fleet's "Spear-of-Heaven" was crippled during the fighting. A one-sided victory, all things considered. My Defender took some fire but the damage is nothing threatening. After the battle, I returned to Battleship Missouri for repairs and resupply.
