Masaru Takeda reporting,
esteemed high command, today the Rheinlanders began their offensive onto Honshu. Our position near Akita Border Station was heavily attacked by several bomber wings and sever Battlecruiser companies. Due to refueling problems, I joined the combat too late and we already suffered heavy casualties. IKN-Kongou a Tokugawa-Class Battleship was destroyed completely, the rescue teams are searching through the remains of the Battleship as we speak. Even though I joined late I managed to take out several bombers and other vessels, with the assistance of the Gas Miners Guild the Rheinlanders finally retreated to coordinate their next attack. After my refuel on Planet Honshu, I returned to Akita only to met by a single Blood Dragon vessel. As my honor demands from me, I offered a free pass and asked him to leave the area. However, my words were meaningless to this Pilot and I had to strike him down. It is a shame to fight a brethren even with their motives they are still our brothers. We need to fortify our position near Akita Border Station or it will be overrun by the Rheinlanders. I will do everything to prevent our position near Akita to fall.
May my ancestors smile upon me!
This is everything for now.
Signed,
Takeda Masaru,
Nito Kaisa of the Kusari Naval Forces
