Project "Reiwa"
"Amaterasu"-class Liner, modified.
Status:Phase V, Finalised

---

No outside parties will be made aware of the plans or construction. Workers and hired contractors will sign an agreement that prevents them from revealing information about the vessel to outsiders.

Phase IV Status:

---

Following the categorization of cargo lists and careful installment of the various security and sub-systems on board of Kure Shipyard and the subsequent fine tuning and late stage modifications conducted at Yokohama Shipyard, the procurement of armament has also been concluded through standard Naval Forces issued equipment. Phase IV is therefore concluded.

Phase V:

---

With almost a year in delays and reschedules, the IKN-Reiwa is virtually ready for its departure from the drydocks. Upon request of the Prime Ministry and the Shogunate, the vessel will be sent to Ichigaya Drydocks to receive further modifications in the form of an experimental type KJX-3 Jump Drive and a refitted Ikiryō-class cloaking device originally designed for Tokugawa-class hulls within the first week of 835 AS where it will remain for at least one week.

February 835 A.S. amendment: The Office of Intelligence managed to secure a timeslot for the IKN-Reiwa and successfully adapted the KJX-3 Jump Drive intended for usage on modern Tokugawa-class Battleships to operate nominally and correctly interact with the vessels dual powerplants. However, the recent Omicron Mu campaign and the failures related to the IKN-Niyodo retrieval shifted priorities. Ichigaya Drydock and the KOI are no longer capable of aiding Project Reiwa. A suitable alternative for the Ikiryō-class cloaking device needs to be obtained through Keiretsu hands. Ionic Incorporated, a Kishiro subsidiary, and Musashi Innovations are legally approved cloaking device manufacturers and may prove sufficient to finalize Project Reiwa.
06.03.835: Phase V conclusion is to be expected within the next two weeks following swift assistance by Ionic Incorporated.

Conclusive Statement: Preparations for the IKN-Reiwa's maiden flight can begin under the assumption that Phase V and all initial pre-flight checks conclude within the estimated timeframe of two weeks.
