Today, two Privateer Pirate Transports were spotted at Kyushu, jumping from the Tau-23 Jump Hole. I called for backup, and Shoii Ookami and another independent pilot, by the name of Itzuko, came to assist me.
We moved into Kyushu quickly to take care of them, as they have been robbing many traders the past few days. We checked on the trade lanes, and got a soft signal of them, but we lost them.
A long patrol reported them into Hokkaido system, where I went following them through the jump hole in Kyushu, sending Ookami and Itzuko to New Tokyo. The Privateers moved to Chugoku, and I ordered to do not go in there. Anticipating their next move, I went to Honshu jump hole in New Tokyo system, and sent Ookami and Itzuko to the Honshu Jump gate. My believes were right, as we found the privateers in Honshu trying to get to New Tokyo through the jump hole.
We secured the jump hole and the jump gate, we didn't find them in the clouds, but we forced them move back to Chogoku, Hokkaido, Kyushu and finally the Taus closing all their possibilities.
I followed them into the Taus, to make me sure they don't attack traders coming to Kusari.
On another note, I recibed a distress call from Tsushima station, that an outcasts group was causing troubles in the near space. I took out the Bakumatsu as I got reports of 3 gunboats leading the attack. Our Daii Kiith came to assist, as well as one Imperial Guard, Raijin.
The group was quickly found, I started the communications with them, as it's not normal to see such a group of outcasts in kusari. I tried to get any demand that they had, but sadly, they weren't there to make any demand, it was a group of madmen who seeked for blood and destruction.
In the middle of the negotiation, the imperial guard started firing on them, without my permission, and the 10 outcasts ships (counting 3 gunboats, at least 2 bombers and many fighters), answered with heavy fire.
We did all what we could, but we were very outnumbered.
We managed to take down one of the gunships, but the Bakumatsu got many bombs from the bombers and the fighters. I sent all the crew to the escape pods.
After the end of the fight, the outcasts got theirselves in a fight against the Kiretsu, who seems were not happy with their presence. The Kiretsu put an end to that problem, taking down all of them.
