Report from First officer Akagi on board ~Osaka~

My captain honored me to submit this report on our expansion efforts in the Taus. The captain wished to patrol tau 31 and 23 in his personal fighter so I set to making up the watch list while he was gone. With the captain an entire system away we recieved intelligence from State Police units in Kyushu claiming to have seen an Outcast vessel near the trade lanes. ~Osaka~ was the only vessel within range of the threat. We immediately sent the recall code to Captain Nebotuda an began preperations for departure. I confirmed with weapons control our new systems where operational and awaited the captain.

When the captain returned we departed for Kyushu. We located the Outcast destroyer .Almada lurking just outside sensor range of Nansei. Noting multiple civilians and Liberty Naval officers in its hold, we engaged in rescue operations and prepared boarding parties. Gun crews began targeting sheilds while the captain ordered the manuevers. .Almada showed no intention of leaving Kusari space and a battle ensued. .Almada was destroyed after approximately 12 minutes of combat. Civilians and LIbertians were recovered.

More incursions further into Kusari space by Phantom vessels further drew our forces away from the front. ~Osaka~ was joined by the deLuna and pilot Typhoon. KNT Kobayashi Maru joined in a hunt for the hiding Phantoms as well. One phantom fighter was intercepted and destroyed. Reports persisted of another Phantom in New Tokyo but the task force was overdue for relieve in Tau-29 so we departed.

-report ends.
