Kampai! Once again we defeated the Hogosha and their accomplices! They attempted to stage another raid against the Isehara Terraforming Outpost. Luckily for us, the long range scanners picked them up from afar and we had time to assemble interceptors.
I gave the order to Commander Satoru Akimitsu to round up any available fighter/bomber pilots and join me in the vicinity of Miura. Lt-Commander Kako Shimakaze, Ensign Mang Taku and Recruit Tadashi Katsu all answered the call and joined us in space.
Then we saw what I would suspect to be a reconnaissance ship sent out by the Hogs; A Gaian fighter by the name of Aoyagi Ritsuka. The Gaian claimed to be updating its nav-maps, but I've heard that one before...
After a brief conversation with the Gaian, who tried to delay us further, we set out to intercept the enemy strike force before it was too late! We engaged our cruise engines and set course straight for the Hogs!
We found the enemy after only a short flight from Isehara. Two Black Dragon fighters and a Ahoudori gunboat! As we suspected, the Gaian fighter joined their forces briefly after first contact. Both sides taunted each other, but soon battle ensued!
Ion storm interference was quite bad during the skirmish, but we finally managed to wreck the Ahoudori before it could destroy any of our ships! The enemy fighters were all targeting Commander Akimitsu, and we had to siphon most of our nano-bots and shield batteries to him otherwise he'd be destroyed! One by one, our enemies fell to our might. The last one of them, who would rather keep his honour than face defeat, committed suicide by detonating a mine before it could clear his dropper. Victory for the Guild, and best of all, no casualties to report of! Yatta!
And as such, I would like to congratulate both Ensign Mang Taku and Recruit Tadashi Katsu for their well deserved battlefield promotions! You both displayed great bravery in the face of our relentless enemies! Omedetou, Corporal Mang Taku and Ensign Tadashi Katsu! You can both expect an hefty increase of Credits on your pay checks by the end of the week, arigato kinkei!
