Jonathan Sanders of the Independent Miners Guild, my apologies if something was lost in translation: this statement;

Operations behind enemy lines executed by Hogosha vessels are not attached to any Naval operations or Funding.

was intended to inform you that: vessels identified as Hogosha are not officially part of the Kusari war effort, as Commander Yamakazi has confirmed.
There is not much I would add to the Honourable Commanders statement except to stress the fact that the State police and Naval Forces have strict diplomatic guidelines: members of the Hogosha have free will and are not forced to adhere to any diplomacy but their own. I was not aware that I sounded so masculine: my parents were not blessed with a son; my title is '€œMiss'€ Or '€œShōshō'€. I hope this is sufficient answer and that your Guild reaches an agreement with Samura heavy industries and Kishiro technologies.
May the Emperors grace reach you,
Takahashi out.
