Konbanwa, Members of the Guild.
I regret to announce that, in our last strike on Omicron Beta, the Gas Miners Guild has lost the famous Corporal and bomber ace, Satoru Kanegi. His unit suffered major losses when they found themselves overwhelmed by enemy Sabres and Falcattas. Satoru-san ordered his remaining wingmen to retreat, but had no intention of fleeing himself. The Corporal deployed countermeasures to cover his units' escape and fired disruptor missiles at every enemy to prevent any pursuit attempts. The angered enemies turned on the lone Corporal... The survivors say that Satoru-san destroyed multiple enemy bombers before they lost visual. Long range scans at the time showed that Outcast heavy reinforcements were enroute to the Corporal's position.
Before the survivors left the system, Satoru-san sent his last transmission...
Sayonara, my friends... 'till we meet again... For the Guild! *static*
At that moment, an Outcast Destroyer and multiple fighters and bombers were destroyed, suggesting that the corporal managed to cause the Destroyer's core to go critical and engulf himself and any foes in the vicinity.
Satoru Kanegi's death will not be in vain. May his legacy live forever as an inspiration to us and our allies, and a reminder to our foes that the Guild will not go quietly.
