Dear Deterrence High Command,

I conducted a patrol operation along the established Sigma-13 → Honshu trade corridor, targeting Kusari shipping with strategic value.

At 13:09 Standard Time, I intercepted a Kishiro Technologies Transport – Type: Samura-Kishiro K70j "Akegata", Registry: Kishiro-Tokugawa Maru. No escort. Cargo hold at 62% capacity, carrying beryllium ore, processed foodstuffs, and high-density Kyushu rice pods.

I engaged immediately. The transport attempted a distress call, which was neutralized with an EMP burst. Defensive systems were laughably inadequate—optimized for maximum freight, not survival.

Boarding commenced at Docking Bay 3 via breaching charges. Our strike teams secured the vessel within minutes. No casualties were sustained. I personally assumed control of the bridge and redirected the ship toward the Omicron-Theta corridor.

A brief blip on long-range sensors indicated a Gas Miners Guild patrol, but I lost them in the Sigma-13 debris field by cycling false jump signatures.

Upon successful extraction, I re-designated the vessel under Corsair command. Effective immediately, the transport operates under the name SantaDomingo, flagged from Crete. Current heading: Tripoli Shipyard, where retrofitting is underway. I intend to repurpose the ship for high-volume artifact runs into Kusari and Liberty border zones.

From this day forward, the SantaDomingo shall sail under Corsair colors as the Golden Lance of Crete—reborn from Kishiro greed, and now forged into a symbol of Corsair resolve.

Outcome:

Kishiro Technologies vessel captured and renamed: SantaDomingo

Estimated cargo value: 1.2 million credits

Ship intact, no Corsair losses

Kishiro Technologies unable to send any alerts – full electronic suppression successful

Route back to Omicron systems remains uncompromised

Pilot’s Note:

Kishiro grows careless in its hunger for expansion. They stretch too thin into neutral space without proper defense. We will make examples of them—again and again. The SantaDomingo will not only move our wealth but carry our name into every system that doubts our strength.

End of Report

For the Empire. For Crete.
