Sisters and Brothers of the Blue Lagoon,

The defense of our Homeland from Bretonian, Terrorist, and Pirate threats is paramount in the thoughts of our Emperor. The safety and freedom of each and every one of you is the mission which He in His infinite wisdom has bestowed upon our valiant Warriors.

In order to better combat these threats to our peace, the Emeror has agreed to combine all of Kusari's military might into one unified command.

The services of the Katana Defense Wing have been invaluable in the protection of our Home systems. Commodore Mori and his fine pilots will continue to make the Blue Lagoon a safe haven for our homes and our children. I am confident in their abilities, and their devotion to the Emperor.

As Taisho of all KNF Forces, I wish to welcome Commodore Relden Mori to my Staff. I will rely heavily upon him in matters of Home Defense. His forces will still be known by the proud name Katana, as indicated by the new banner they will fly under, [KNF-K].

I hereby direct all my Officers in the [KNF] and in our stalwart Trading Corps to extend every courtesy to Com. Mori. If I am not available to make tactical decisions concerning Kusari's wellbeing, Mori will be your Sensei. He will report directly to me.

Com. Mori has been fully informed on the state of our Ceasefire with the NovaPG and the Bushido. He is also aware that our pipeline of valuable supplies must still continue to flow and be protected as per previous communiques. His Forces may be called upon to ensure that the Ceasefire Terms are observed, and to escort our Traders as far as Holman Outpost to the west, and the GMG Outpost Naha to the east.

Our Emperor has chosen wisely this day. The defense, and the victory, of House Kusari has taken a great step towards success.

Kampai!

Chijin
Taisho, KNF
