Following the Arch defense operations, the Yugiri was reshuffled to join rapid response wings as part of the New Tokyo garrison. Now whilst we usually do not have anything noteworthy to report requiring a submission to the NOH, there appears to be a recent most troublesome trend we have noticed and wish to highlight towards the Admiralty.
It is common knowledge that some of Kishiro's IP manages to leave Planet Honshu without actual sales records and cargo manifest and that all sides involved remain committed to combating this theft of intellectual property, however it is very troublesome to note that we've intercepted the third instance of a Samura vessel hauling unmarked Kishiro IP within the past two weeks. Unlike the previous Captains, the vessel under callsign 'MakHita.25' belonging to Samura Industries refused to cooperate and explain themselves. Attempts to press on and flee the scene were in vain and we were forced to use our guns on Keiretsu assets. The vessel has been disabled and some of the cargo crates survived the gunfire and will be transferred to Planet Honshu, from which point on the State Police will carry out standard procedures.. We know that firing on Keiretsu assets is an absolute last resort and we'll brace for the storm of lawyers about to come.
Despite these dire circumstances, we hope the Admiralty understands our decision and supports our notion to 'respectfully lay out' to both Keiretsu that we cannot tolerate outright theft as business practice in domestic affairs and that offending individual Captains will be treated in the same manner as everyone else in front of the Imperial Stellar Codex.
In humble service of the Kusari Empire, Santo Kaisa, Amaya Mizui
