Konbanwa,

We departed Honshu at 1730 hours and headed to Sigma-13, after receiving reports of a large-scale incursion from the Rheinland Military. Upon arrival, we discovered only 2 Rheinland vessels, a Military snubcraft, callsign Romeo Two, accompanied by a Kruger frigate, callsign KTS Jager. There were also 2 GMG ships, a fighter flown by the GMG pilot Rebecca Harper and a gunboat, callsign Kani Maru.

During this incident, IKN Haruna maintained a distance of 4 clicks from the battle, until all contacts were confirmed as disabled and/or routed. While unclear thus far what the real goal the operation was, information gathered after the conclusion of the skirmish hints to a possible attempt by Kruger to once more cause damage to the GMG installations within Sigma-13, aided by overzealous pilots of the Rheinland Military.

Scans, alongside the data shared to us on-the-spot by GMG operatives, have shown that the Kruger ship carried nuclear devices and a number of other armaments; all data from the scans can be directly corroborated with the discussions between GMG operatives and IKN Haruna at the moment of the incident, leading to the assumption that the rumours regarding a Kruger attack are correct.

We are currently stationed in the vicinity of the Sigma-13 Jump Gate, within Honshu, and have dispatched our fighter wings nearby and in the adjacent system for patrols. In the case of other incursions, and should the Guild require heavy warship support, we will aid them.

I will be expecting further orders on how to proceed. All the evidence of this incident is attached below. Long live the Emperor!
