SITUATION

The Chugoku gate construction site has been the target of many attacks from the Blood Dragons, during the past months these attacks have decresed substantially. Allowing the project to advance more to the final stages. Although it is not entirely safe for transports convoy to pass through Hokkaido, it has been the best time in the pasth 6 months there. The project has advanced in good direction, and the reserve KNF fleet has not had problems with the security.

This situation changed two weeks ago, when two Blood Dragon cruisers appeared in the Kyushu system, near the Tsushima station. The station staff panicked fast, the Kagutsuchis are powerful pieces of machine. Soon enough the entire reserve fleet was deployed to intercept and disassemble those ships, unfourtanely they didn't make it on time completly.

The cruisers attacked Tsushima Station causing hundreds of losses between the station staff, traders passing by and the KSP officers on the station during the time of the attack. By the time the reserve fleet arrived to Tsushima, the attack was already stopped, and there was no sign of those cruisers.

When the Taishō Hiroito heard of the attack, he ordered the reserve fleet to move into Chugoku system, knowing the Blood Dragons are hiden there. It was not a tactic of any kind, it was a matter of honor, the Blood Dragons, even when differing in substancial points with the Kusari Naval Forces, have always showed up honor and respect. This attack showed nothing of that, just a pure slaughter.

The reserve fleet moved into Chugoku, and the Blood Dragon defenses didn't take long in showing up. Even a Togo intercepted the KNF fleet, and the battle started fast. The Togo, while powerful, was not a match for the agile KNF destroyers, and it was forced to retreat into the clouds, while the strike crafts were still fighting. It was a short attack, and the KNF made their point there. Soon after the Togo disappeared, the reserve fleet moved back to Hokkaido.

This event didn't push the Blood Dragons back, and they wanted payback. They didn't give much time to the KNF fleet to re-organize themselves, and in a matter of twelve hours a small wing of Blood Dragon fighters showed up near the Chugoku Construction site. They dind't have a chance to win, not with the Matsumoto there, but that wasn't discouraging them. The KNF sent a wing of Chimaeras to nullify the hostiles.

The fight took place in the Unyo cloud, both sides lost some ships, but in the end, there was just one Blood Dragon still standing, the pilot Yuuma Saburo. Surrounded by KNF ships, Yuuma Saburo didn't surrender, and fought against them bravely. Unfourtanely for him, that wasn't enough, and his ship got destroyed, the emergency meassures launched the escape pod, and the KNF caputred it.

Yuuma Saburo, being an important member of the Blood Dragons, is going to be interrogated at Fuchu prison, in the Shikoku system. This's why the KNF has deployed the Matsuyama Prison Liner, to transfer the pilot safely under the watch of KNF's officers.

MISSION OBJECTIVE

Yuuma Saburo must reach the Fuchu Prison, for this matter, the KNF Prison Liner, [KNF]Matsuyama, has been deployed for the task. A wing of Chimaeras will be escorting the Matsuyama along the way to Fuchu, from Battleship Matsumoto. The main problem will be avoiding the Blood Dragon patrols deployed in Hokkaido with the mission of releasing Yuuma Saburo from captivity.

This is the route the Matsuyama will take. The red circle shows a crucial point, entering the Shiden cloud, where the Blood Dragon might attack, avoiding being detected due to the cloud interference.
