Subject: Battle in Leeds

[color=#CCFFFF]Good Evening,

I recieved a distress call that a large force of the KNF where gathering for an attack on Leeds, supplemented by some Hogosha. It really does show how desperate the KNF are when they allow criminals to fight alongside their "Emperor's Navy" Kogen must be pretty desperate. Nevertheless, I undocked and met Lt Brown near the Derby and we both proceeded to join the battle. When Lt Brown and I arrived, what we saw wasn't heartening. The HMS Conqueror was under heavy fire as was the HMS Sheffield by three Kusari Battleships. Both the Conqeror and the Sheffield went down after intense fire though they did heavily damage the Kusari Battleship Hauro, which predictably fled when myself and Lt Cdr Ree gave it a taste of our SNAC's.

I then turned my attention to the Zennin and proceeded to slowy take down it's shield and slightly damage it's hull. However, we were outnumbered and had no heavy support available. These particular Kusari battleships were equipped with an ungodly amount of missiles and were very fond of firing them. Slowly but surely the missiles combined with the rather persistent Hogosha meant we had very little chance of winning.

I myself, after going through my countermeasures rather quickly had very little chance of surviving the onslaught of missiles the KNF were throwing at us. My Challenger was destroyed and I was tractored in by some BAF ships that were scouring for suvivors after the battle. I am currently in Leeds Military Hospital and will be assigned to active duty again tomorrow.

While it was a defeat. We did fight them to a standstill and prevented them from getting any closer to Leeds orbit.

Note that during the battle; some fool callsign: [T&M]Escort|JetPack asked if the Kusari dogs "needed assistance" and joined the battle of the side of the KNF. He could be riding on the tails of success, as it was clear at that point that Kusari had superior firepower and numbers.
