KNF High Command,

Several engagements within 2hours made it a busy night. Reports as follows:

QCP Juno.Kietan
Syonan-to received intel that a QCP (Juno.Kietan) ship was inbound from Tau 31 towards Kusari. KNF Shuutan was 1st to respond and was headed to intercept in Tau 29. However, the QCP was too quick and managed to evade Shuutan's radar. Syonan-to was in Kyushu when she 1st saw a glimpse of the QCP. A pursuit ensued over 3 systems where finally the QCP was caught pirating a trader in Honshu. Syonan-to engaged the QCP and was soon backed up by Yomigae. However, due to sudden surge of solar waves, Yomigae was lost while trying to recover from it. Syonan-to kept engaging the QCP who was in a Templar class ship. Finally, the battering of a Gunboat took its toll on the QCP and he ejected. The solar waves interfered with our radar and Syonan-to could not find his ejected pod.


Helghast(G)-Thunderbo
Just after recovering from this attack, a Helghast ship was seen in system and was attacking the local police. A system wide search comprising Syonan-to, Youma_Tama, Shuutan and Kasuma took place. Soon the assailant was detected outside Planet Honshu. Youma_Tama and Syonan-to engaged. Helghast(G)-Thunderbo was in a Taiidan Bomber equipped to take down capships with double Novas. He managed to deplete Syonan-to's shields several times but never took it down totally. After a while the Helghast then turned its attention on Youma_Tama. Brave and skilled piloting by Youma_Tama ensured that he not only survived but managed to take down the hull of the Helghast ship. Support fire from Syonan-to also meant that the Helghast has little chance for survival. Helghast then decided to do a Harakiri by going on a Kamikaze run into the Syonan-to. That could only have 1 outcome. As he din eject, no escape pod was found.


[SoH]-Horus5|
Heikiko Maru our armory was awaiting new supplies by BS Nagumo when she was attacked upon by [S0H]Horus5| (a GC tagged Rogue Gunboat). Fortunately several civilian vessels were in system to assists her while the Syonan-to and Shuutan were enroute from Honshu. Upon reaching, Syonan-to and Shuutan engaged the GC ship and soon enough the GC GB succumbed to Shuutan's brilliant flying and shooting.


All in all a good day for KNF

Hayase out..
