Salut, my high command officers and members of the Deterrence.
Santiago del Olivar here, commander of the imperial fleet "Santisima" and providing a status report on current operations.
This message objective is to debrief the operation of convoy 24-2, that had several troubles and managed to gloriously make it home with some scratches, but alive.
The operation started at Planet Knossos, with our miners hauling the precious Xeno relics for the first stop. Our exploradores found long-range pings from the drug addicts and sent an emergency broadcast to the nearest fleet for help. They located an enemy fleet composed of one Dreadnought, two cruisers, and one battleship in close proximity to sector E3 of Omicron XI.
The responding Deterrence fleet was captain's Delgado one, "Pirineos", who appeared to face the Outcast filth with a splendid show of force. After a fierce battle, the Outcast fleet was decimated and the ones who did not die in the battlefield left a trail of frozen corpses, scrap, and damaged parts ready for recovery. The rest just ran with their tail under the legs.
The convoy 24-2 started to move all the way to the Shikoku system, selling the cargo to a secure undisclosed location and acquiring platinum in a close-by merchant station. As it were, new issues arose. A random vessel with unidentified transponder appeared and started some conversations with the fleet that are still being de-ecrypted. Soon, a full fleet followed, composed of Blood Dragons and Golden Chrysanthemums. They were bold enough to even bring a cruiser from a close-by system to intercept us. The escorting force of the convoy started the battle, protecting the transports. Sadly, one of them got badly damaged and destroyed. However, all the crew's pods were collected. They are safe and sound, thanks to the valiant help of our convoy frigate that was nearby and rescued them in the middle of the combat.
Our escorts fought the enemy fleet all the way into Kyushu and managed to exterminate all the enemy forces. Looks like Deterrence had to pick up the slack and do some cleaning work ridding Kusari from undesirables and drug addicts. A sensible question remains - was Kusari Navy sleeping on the job? I will let you be the judges. The scum we encountered are now frozen into the void, never to be found, and their ships are nothing more but scrap to feed the junkers and their smelters.
The escorts managed to rendezvous again with the transports and made it all the way home without further encounters.
This is the full debrief - I am attaching some telemetry and combat logs in this message, as well as some images. For any more information or additional details, please contact me. With our mission complete - we've secured further financial gains for our fleet and managed to get rid of our enemies in one quick action. These assets would do well to bolster our military capabilities in the coming months.
