The border situation deteriorates further with every passing week.
Responding to the emergency call of the IKN-Tsushima, a small wing of fightercrafts led by myself arrived to Galileo.
We were met with a small token force of Liberty Navy vessels loudly arguing with a sizable Zoner convoy carrying Iridium, which passed by ourselves a little earlier.
This scene took place straight at our border, next to the Shikoku Gate. Following a brief heated exchange during which the Zoners almost settled on carving their path through with violence, they returned back to Kusari space.

Not long after, a Liberty Siege Cruiser bearing LPI identification codes emerged from the Shikoku Gate. A lengthy conversation emerged, which threw so many waves that eventually the Fleet Admiral of the Navy's First Fleet made an appearance. Following a debrief, she classified the Siege Cruiser a containment breach and folded to our pressure to let us scuttle the vessel to ensure a proper data wipe. Concerningly, they insisted on an evacuation effort of the crew they themselves marked as infectees. Due to this circumstance, we must assume that either this vessel was a deliberate test of our borders integrity or that the Republic attempts to handle living thralls through the LSF. Both options are extremely concerning and must be taken into consideration for our future steps. I insist on a KOI led investigation in the near future.

Following the scuttling of the Siege Cruiser, plenty more unlawful contacts than the few who "enjoyed the show" earlier. A skirmish was inevitable and Liberty's forces, whilst some were disgruntled by the fact, accepted an order given to join forces to deter criminal elements. It didn't go as planned, at all, apparently. Seeing the increase of maintenance listings and the dispatchment of towing vessels from the Tsukishima Yards. Oh and I need someone to check the old warehouses. I need a new Tora-class now, this is non-negotiable.

In service of Kusari,
Goryō
