--------------------------
January 29th, Matsu patrol from Akita Border Station, in the Honshu system, intercepted a Junker frigate filled with H-fuel from unknown origins. It was ordered to stop and surrender all cargo as in the Codex terms when dealing with criminal entities. The Junker called Pat_Stone complied with the cargo surrender, the payment of the fine, and was deported to Sigma-13.
Febuary 1st, Matsu Patrol was called once again to support an ongoing patrol in the Honshu system. They intercepted a Gallic Junker vessel, called [Bentuzi] . The ship was detained and fined a million credits for trespassing into Kusari territory as a pilot of an unwelcome affiliation, in an illegal ship.
Patrol that was to escort the pilot back to Gallic borders was interrupted by a Blood Dragon cruiser, denomination Ore, and left the junker to deal with the threat. However, issues on the telemetry of the Matsu-3 prevented him from taking part on the battle. It is known that the BD was taken cared of by pilots [KNF]Jaaku-na and [KNF]Ik.Yuki.Soga
Exile activity has risen in the Kyushu sector, as reports from the Fuji patrol confirm.
On the 4th of February, Fuji patrol of the KDS-Nagumo was launched to defend against elements of the Exile forces, namely the Zenith /Z/ division. He joined officers [KNF]Kh.H.Ishikawa and [KNF]Ii.Dayu.Yamo against elements of /Z/ , in the Tsushima sector of Kyushu.
Additional hostiles, in the form of a GC pilot and a freelancer under her payroll were present, and equally hostile to the Government forces and Exiles.
Fuji-2, who provided the report, was neutralized by the GC pilot, and the result of the battle is unknown until more reports arrive to confirm it.
Matsu patrol out of Honshu detected an Outcast gunship, callsign [FCiS]Eddy , which was taken down for piracy by the Matsu and [KNF]KDS-Jubokko . Survivors were directed to Fuchu prison.
On the 25th of that month, Planet Honshu received some envoys from the Rheinland BDM , BDM|U-200 and BDM|Agf-Geoff.Einfeld. Oberinspektor Lisa Schneider was present on board of the U-200.
Small conversation was exchanged between KNF and BDM pilots.
---------------
On the first of March, Fuji patrol based on the Nagumo was deployed to assist officer [KNF]Ii.Rita.Hitoshi on the destruction of a hostile Outcast destroyer, designation OC-Shlizhak . Reinforcements from the KDS-Kongo and [KNF]Nk.Shouzou.Yamada arrived, and we swiftly put the Outcast down.
Pilot of the Fuji-2 was lost during a skirmish with Blood Dragons in the system, while trying to protect his wingmates. [KNF]Kh.Ryoma.Sakamoto and [KNF]Ii.Haruna.Sen participated on the combat.

March 15th Fuji Patrol was called once again. This time, the patrol in the Tau 29 reported multiple Nomad vessels of large bulk. While the Fuji did not find any targets like that, the pilots in the field were carrying nomad samples, and were terrified of what they saw.
On return to the Freeport, we located a Liberty CarrierRenao, and some Exiles. Suddenly, A Sorcerer showed up, and conjured a Vision of Multiple Gallic Navy Valors, who promptly chased the Liberty Carrier and devoured him, much to the shock and amazement of everyone present. Except for the Liberty Carrier crew, of course.
Witnessing the acts of sorcery, we immediately retreated back to the safety of the Nagumo and Kusari, and had difficulty to find a way to report the events to our officer as he arrived to our location.
We also had first evidences of Exile patrols flying what is obviously civilian crafts of Hogosha design. Central Intelligence is investigating if these are old surplus from the Seto campaign, or new acquisitions.
Captain Enomoto, who recently took command of the rechristened ship [KNF]KDS-Kirishima , participated in a large operation against Liberty Rogue raiding party in the Shikoku system. The KNF forces were having difficulty in dealing with the multiple gunboat class vessels, and the Kirishima was fundamental to break the resistance of the Rogues still present when she joined in the late stages of the battle.
