March 21st

Commander Yuuka Nakazono of the [KNF]KDS-Shimotsuki reported assisting a KNF patrol in escorting a Rheinland Military capital ship from the Tau systems to the Rheinland border, after this ship suffered a freak jumpdrive incident that throw it off course.

Upon arrival on Honshu, the Shimotsuki suffered an electronic assault, and her systems were disabled for a few moments. When the ship recovered, it was found that a Lane Hacker in a bomber was in the area, and the patrol was called back to assist the destroyer.

The KNF officers deemed fit to aprehend the Lane Hacker LH-Mactan.Surpressor , who tried to blackmail the Naval Officers with "leaks" of intel to Liberty about something related to the RM vessel. He resisted arrest and tried to elude the Naval Forces in the nebula.

Unfortunately, an untimely arrival of a Blood Dragon party made it impossible to capture the Lane Hacker.

Enemy Dragon forces consisted of a battleship BDW-Okinoshima , with a cruiser BD|Mount.Kita and two BD| fighters in escort. The Shimotsuki was immediately ordered to abandon the battlefield as it was unsuitable against those opponents.

The battle occurred later, with the KNF forces amassing a strong counterforce to deal with the Blood Dragons, achieving superiority in numbers and firepower against the Battleship and Cruiser.

---------------------

On the 22nd of March, the KDS-Shimotsuki under Commander Nakazono accompanied a courtesy mission to the Frankfurt system, where we were received by a member of the RM.

Meanwhile, the force also encountered elements of the VWA organization, which conversed with the KNF for a long while, before the KNF patrol returned to Kusari space. The RM pilot engaged one of the activists, and unfortunately had to return to Mainz in the hold of a passing RFP vessel.

On the 25th, the KDS-Shimotsuki was severely crippled by an attack of raiding pirate transports flying under the banner of the Junker Marauders. No further intel is available.

On the same day, the [KNF]KDS-Shinano returned to active duty, taking it's position as leading ship of the 3rd Battlecruiser Div. in Kyushu. the [KNF]KDS-Kirishima was there to escort him to the system.



-------------------

Same day, Tokkeitai agent Kyohime led a patrol to the Tau and neighboring systems, covering Baffin and most of the edge of the Kusari borders. One of the JM transports was found during this patrol, but was not pursued. Officer [KNF]Ii.Rita.Hitoshi was present too.

Kiyohime was willing to take some chances, and led the patrol through a quick pass in the Chugoku system, discrete enough to not alert all the Dragon forces lurking in the system.

On return to Kyushu, we stumbled upon another exile force, near Tsushima again. [KNF]Sk.Dayu.Yamo joined us in the field, and we engaged the /Z/ with some advantage.

Only one confirmed destruction, unknown the results of the battle.

We also saw one additional Exile, flying a very heavy fighter similar with the Hogosha designs, and docking with haste and little resistance on Tsushima depot.
