Recon Must survive the mission. (Primary Objective) - Achieved
Patrol must scout all the waypoints (Secondary Objective) - Achieved KNF must suffer no losses (Tertiary objective) - Heavy Losses Taken
BD objectives:
Patrol Must reach Omicron-92 hole and return to base. (Primary Objective) - Objective Completed
Dragons destroy half of the enemy patrol (Secondary objective) - objective achieved (3 of 6 hostiles) Dragons acquire recon data (Hidden objective) - Target survived, Conditions not met.
KNF recon patrol, composed of main wing Aki, initiated their mission at the appointed time. Support wing Fuyu awaited at Sado for any signs of trouble.
As Aki wing was approaching the first waypoint on their route, they were found and intercepted by a heavy Blood Dragon Patrol (designation Haru/1). Dragon patrol consisted of four fighters, supported by a gunboat.
The Dragons immediately engaged the passing wing, while the Aki wing called the base for reinforcements. Fuyu wing headed to location, while the KNF on the field focused on gunboat as value target.
As the gunboat (BD|Mount.Zao) is taken down, pilot Katsuo Shimoe is taken down by the enemy fire.
Fuyu wing arrives, and the battle continues. One pilot of dragons is taken out (Southern.Renaissance), and KNF flight leader is shot down soon after. Kobayakawa takes the lead for the rest of the operation.
Another Blood Dragon is shot down (BD|Yoshiko.Kawaguchi) and the Dragon patrol begins retreating to their base. Kobayakawa decides to pursue. The KNF loses another vessel (Rita.Hitoshi) before being able to take down another of the fleeing pilots of the Dragon patrol (BD|Kohaku.Hokama).
Sado Mission control reminds the flight wing to proceed with the mission, and the KNF wing proceeds to scan the marked waypoints. Pilot Fuyu-1 (Dayu.Yamo) returns to base, apparently to deliver the recovered pilots shot down.
Aki-2 with Fuyu-2 as escort continues the mission without further incident, and the intel is brought back to the Sado.
-----------------------
Blood Dragon departed to the Omicron-92 corridor, to ensure the security against KNF forces and Wild hunting packs. The patrol arrived at the jump anomaly without detecting enemy contacts, and began it's return route. In the middle of their flightthey encountered and engaged the KNF patrol, and managed to take down half of the invaders, before being forced to retreat to Ryukyu.
The patrol managed to return to Ryukyu, despite heavy losses. They inflicted many casualties on the Naval Forces they met, but were unable to find anything useful from them before being forced to retreat.
------------------
Mission consequences:
The the intel gathered by the KNF patrol will be useful for delineating future operations against BD in the Tohoku region. The loss of half of the recon force however, reminds KNF command that the BD still have good strength in the area, and will require either better tactics or stronger assets to achieve dominance in the field. KNF will need some time before it can launch another operation with light forces.
The BD managed to inflict heavy losses in the KNF, and kept the Omicron corridor relatively secured. The convoys heading to and from the Omicrons have not been affected, although the KNF were able to get some readings of vital spots of the northen regions outside the nebula. Blood Dragons maintain their high alert, and strong battle readiness.

Edit 1: After mission feedback from the BD, I managed to rewrite some of the stuff that happened.
