Konnichiwa, this is Intelligence Officer Yamada. There has been a report issued recently about a medium scale engagement between our forces and know criminal forces.

Patrol Vessel:Naoki.Seok
Date: 29-11-822
Title: Engagement against Kusari Exiles, Golden Chrysanthemums and pirate raiding groups

Itto Kaii Naoki Seok here, reporting from an engagement in the Tsushima Station area. My ship was shot down by the enemy but fortunately the KDS-Shinano overseeing the combat has managed to retrieve me, although the ship could not be recovered in the middle of the firefight.

Our patrol was investigating the Kyushu system for hostiles when we came to face a wing of the so called Kusari Exiles. The deserters were in a waiting pattern, and doing the usual bickering about their place in Kusari and their bright yellow vessels.

Soon after, as if to add insult to injury, the other kind of hypocrite of Kusari, the Golden Chrysanthemums, decided to show up in numbers as well, setting up what would be a difficult fight ahead. Commander Shouzou was directing our forces, and considering that the GC were bringing some unknown freelancer mercenaries with them, we decided to engage them first.

Not that the deserters would stand still and be nice, and added to the confusion of the combat. Some other traveling freelancers were on site, but could not be convinced to fight for the better cause. At least they were courteous enough to not be a nuisance either.

On the side of our forces, Commander Shouzou and Rita.Hitoshi were present alongside me, as well Captain Shin Takeru aboard the KDS-Shinano. In addition, pilots Kenji.Fujimoto and Esumi.Teshima of the KNF 2nd Fleet were also there to assist, as well a State Police from the RKS|-Akira.Sugimori , that arrived as reinforcements against the hostile numbers.

The battle, as I have seen it, was inconclusive, as we took some out but suffered many losses as well. Rita.Hitoshi was credited with another kill to the boards.

This ships marked with the (C insignia are admittedly on the side of the criminal organization GC, and should be seen as dangers to Kusari whenever met.

Naoki Seok, signing off.
