This is the Captain of the IKN-Shinigami_Maru. I will first apologize to our honorable Taishu Sulu for defying his direct order. I will gladly accept any punishment he gives as a means to better myself. Your order was to keep my Kusari destroyer in dry dock until it could be properly licensed. This defiance was caused by a distress call from a location near the dock in which my destroyer was stationed, the shipyard in Honshu. This call stated that there was a cruiser class Blood Dragons vessel in the area. Knowing the power of this ancient foe, I immediately ordered my crew to the Shinigami Maru to get ready for imminent battle with the Blood Dragons cruiser ]bd[Hideyoshi's.Memory. We met the cruiser head on not far from the shipyard and the battle began...

Hideyoshi's.Memory was defeated in honorable combat. May the Emperor have mercy on their lost and confused souls, but show them the error of their ways.
As soon as the Blood Dragons cruiser was destroyed, a distress call came from the New Tokyo system. It seemed that the cruiser was not the only Blood Dragon terrorizing the people of Kusari. The following is a list of the Engaged enemies. All were Blood Dragons with the exception of the Phantom bomber Gloom. His presence is unexplained, but his voice was....eerie. I should also add that he was not allied with the Blood Dragons, but instead seemed intent on destroying all craft involved in this fight both Kusari and Blood Dragon. Gloom (the phantom bomber) Ze'ev's.Rage (Bomber) ]bd[Kusari's.Decline (Super Heavy Fighter) Danieru (Super Heavy Fighter)
Amongst all of these enemies was one lone Kusari State Police Officer surviving, quite well might I add, while incredibly outnumbered. The officer, [KSP]Sakura.Kai requested my help, and I began engaging the bomber crafts. Naku Takiyama (Gunnery Officer) followed his targets quite well, taking out the shields of the two bombers intent on the Shinigami's demise until their reserve shield recharge units were depleted. A very well aimed shot from the Shinigami Maru's Missile deck took out Ze'ev's.Rage
Gloom then broke off from assaulting the Shinigami and became engaged in the dog fight that was currently involving [KSP]Sakura.Kai, ]bd[Kusari's.Decline, Danieru . Gloom, soon after, took out the Blood Dragon ]bd[Kusari's.Decline. The fighting had been very fierce, but it had only just began.
After the battle with the blood dragon cruiser, the Shinigami's engines were heavily damaged and my Systems Engineer Matsui Horimato did an excellent job keeping the Shinigami going forward. These repairs began wearing off as our destroyer quickly lost power to the engines. We were incapable of helping the Kusari State Police officer in his/her combat versus the remaining enemies of Kusari (Danieru , Gloom). The dogfight that ensued was amazing on all sides. It is truly rare to see such skill and ferocity as these pilots had. The final death blow to Danieru was given by Gloom and it was now down to the final two. Both fighters excellently maneuvered away from the others shots, resulting in 20 hard minutes of intense dog fighting. The victor, thank the divine Emperor, was [KSP]Sakura.Kai. That officer has skill beyond most, and he/she showed it well today. The Emperor protects.
It seems that with the excitement of the battle and the relief realizing a Kusari victory, my Gunnery Officer did not save the death of Gloom in the archives of the Shinigami Maru. I swear on my honor that [KSP]Sakura.Kai defeated Gloom, though the evidence wasn't saved to the archives.
It could be as we feared, the Blood Dragons have become alarmingly unified, but the might of Kusari and the Divine Will of the Emperor will protect us from all threats.
