SENDER ID:Cpt. Shrader, M. RECIPIENT ID:Liberty Navy Reporting Center SUBJECT:Incident Report 08.03.836 - Galileo
08 MAR 836
Captain Shrader, Task Force 107, reporting in.
I was participating in routine border control operations in the Colorado system, when at 1513 SMT I received a distress call from the DSE mining vessel Redsnow, which had previously reported a sighting of a Kusari Naval Forces vessel during mining operations in Galileo. I made the transit to Galileo and headed to the Redsnow's last known position in sector G-6, within the Livia Cloud.
There I found the Redsnow engaged in combat with the Kusari battlecruiser IKN Haruna. Attempts to have the Kusari vessel cease fire were unsuccessful. Its captain claimed the Redsnow to be interfering with Kusari operations. Indeed, I spotted what appeared to be a derelict exploration vessel nearby, its emergency transponder reading Kusari Office of Intelligence. I believe the Redsnow may have stumbled upon a covert retrieval operation, resulting in the Kusarians attempting to destroy the vessel and silence any witnesses.
The Redsnow's continued return fire and my arrival forced the IKN Haruna to scuttle the derelict KOI vessel and retreat. It did so by - and this is according to my flight computer's analysis - "opening a hyperspace breach." I was unable to obtain visuals of this due to the Livia Cloud's low visibility and my priority being the security of the Redsnow. After the Kusari warship's retreat, the Redsnow returned safely to Colorado.
The Kusari Naval Forces and Kusari Office of Intelligence appear to be conducting covert military operations in Galileo within close proximity of the Colorado jump gate. At least one of their warships appears to be equipped with one of their purported jump drives. And they are not above opening fire on Libertonian citizens with the intent to kill in order to cover up their operations.
Guncam footage and communication logs are attached below.
