Konnichiwa everyone,
Today was a fine day for Kusari. I launched from Kagoshima to do a routine patrol of New Tokyo for gaijin, and came up a Universal Shipper. I kindly asked the Libertonian to drop his Engine Components, as he was unworthy to take them out of Kusari. He refused, and his ship was strewn across the Planet New Tokyo --> Shinagawa Trade Lane.
After this, I came upon another trader, this one bringing Military Vehicles into Kusari. I asked him what he would gain from his transaction, and he payed me without a question.
On the next leg of my journey, I found a smuggler bringing Plutonium to Bretonia. I kindly asked him to stop and drop his goods, but he refused. I was catching up to teach him a lesson, and was forced to chase him through three systems until I finally caught him in Tau-29 and brought him to justice. The fool's ship is now another testament to what happens to those who would oppose Kusari.

Konichwa brothers, today has been extremely eventful for the Yamaneko, to say the least.
While investigating reports of outcast activity at Nago station in Tau-29, I came across a Zoner piloting a firefly-class bretonian transport vessel, attempting to haul slaves into Kusari Space. I demanded that the slaves be put down on Nago and freed from their bonds - the Zoner refused.
During my attack against his vessel, I began to take fire from another source - an Outcast Destroyer-Class warship had moved on our position to assist the zoner. After a lengthy battle, in the latter part of which the outcast attempted to flee from the engagement, we were able to destroy the hostile vessel. It goes to show that no ship, no man, can match the might of a true Kusari.
Unfortunately, during the engagement the Zoner managed to escape. My ship's logs containing the identification of the vessel were corrupted from damage taken during the battle (//forgot his name and had no screenshot of him//).
Shortly thereafter, I engaged in pursuit of a pirate train-class cargo ship of outcast identification, which proceeded to the baffin system outside of my zone of operations. The Outcast Destroyer went by the designation of [Zork], and proof of destruction was captured by our ship's sensors:
After returning to Kusari space to investigate rumor of a bretonian presence in the New Tokyo system - the rumors were false, fortunately - I came across a Junker crew piloting a Luxury-Liner class vessel. The Yamaneko engaged the gaijin scum, who quickly moored board Deshima station.
After a long ordeal of insults back and forth, the Junker vessel - designated .:J:.Flux_Aeterna - released moor and proceeded towards the Shikoku system, managing narrowly to escape myself and the Kusari Naval Forces ship who had joined to assist me - designated as the KNS-Rikuzen.
We engaged the ship once again in the Shikoku system, where the Commander of the vessel threatened to 'bring outcasts with him' the next time he entered Kusari Space. Shortly after that statement, his ship was destroyed. No survivors were reported.
Sensor Log showing proof of destruction:
We will continue to patrol Kusari space and keep the influence of Gaijin like these out of our society.

Two occurances within Kusari Space to report-
The first took place two days ago. As I came out of dock at New Tokyo, I spotted a Container Transport class vessel attempting to carry a full cargo of Plutonium towards the Kyushu Gate. As this ship was not registered by either Samura or Kishiro, I took the assumption that the cargo was bound for bretonian, being smuggled by this vessel as so many others have been doing recently. This trade ship went by the designation: 4th_grader
After several warnings, with no response, the trader's ship was destroyed. Cargo crews on my ship, the Yamaneko, hastily cleaned up all traces of the cargo that remained in space, and it was safely unloaded on New Tokyo:
I suggest we keep an eye on this *DD* organization, they seem to have few qualms about insulting hogosha and kusari openly. Gaijin are expected to be ignorant, but they shall not disrespect us.
The second Encounter occured yesterday. As I approached New Tokyo from Kabukicho, I spotted the ugliest ship you can imagine, a bretonian gunboat. This vessel was properly using a Bretonian armed forces ID and IFF, and was quickly attacked after a brief exclamation on open comm channels. Strangely enough, the ship did not put up much of a resistance, and his communications systems did not seem to be working (//i.e. he didnt fight back all that much, and he didnt say a word in chat). Bretonians cannot be allowed within Kusari space during wartime, and certainly cannot be permitted to hover over our homeworld.

Today was a somewhat intresting day.
A artifact appeared. As a Nomad Assasin and KNF wanted it for study but so did the terrorist group Nova Power Gen.
The Artifact was located near Honshu so the fight ensured throughout the afternoon for control of it.
I managed to down one (NovaPG)-Apathetic using Train CD which luckily nailed his Nova torpedoe
//Attatching Image
A NPG was killed by friendly-fire.
We lost three fighters as well as a Cruiser. But we managed to down 3 in total afterwards. 1 Bomber, 1 Raven Talon and one Blood Dragon.
The fight as we speak is still going on. My fighter was destroyed in the process. and right now sitting on Planet Honshu in the imfirmiry.
Hopefully Kusari Can Come Out On Top

Konnichiwa everyone,
Today was, odd, to say the least. I launched from Kagoshima to find the voice of my favorite Mercenary, IronWatsas, speaking loudly over the comms. Needless to say, my blood boiled at the sound of his voice, and I knew it was time to send him to his lord and maker, whom or whatever it might be.
My anger was not let loose until far after I heard Watsas. We searched for the fiend for several minutes, not seeing anything for a very long time, but we finally found one of the Kiretsu witches 10k away from the Hokkaido Jump Hole.
The KNF had destroyed an empty LSF ship before, and it was found that the pilot was in Watsas's hold. Upon seeing him, we both broke off and entered a chase which comprised of myself, Taishi Ze'ev, two GC, Watsas, and two KNF officers.
The chase went through Hokkaido and Tau-63, a cursed system where the witches make their home, but in the end, Watsas escaped with the LSF agent. We left Tau-63 immediately, and left for Kyushu. Today was a sad day for Kusari. Whatever need the GC have for the LSP agent is a bad omen, and Watsas still breaths. Another day for him to fear my breath, I suppose.

Konnichiwa everyone,
The gaijin here have been growing more and more complacent. They dare to tell us, the people of Kusari, where we do and do not hold power. What we can and cannot do. Where and when we may remove them from our presence. Even in our Taishi's absence, we must put an end to this.
Yestereve, while chasing a report of a Synth Foods convoy, which I did not find, I came upon a vessel carrying Military Vehicles to Shikoku. Knowing of our need for these goods, I only asked the trader to pay monetary penance for being in Kusari. He escaped to the Battleship, where I dared not extort him for fear of accusations against the KNF. I did, however, engage him again outside Planet Junyo, where he once again "escaped" to the planet. I am very confident that the fish of Junyo are enjoying his company at this very moment.
This evening, though, I came upon another trader, this time carrying Kusari's intellectuals through New Tokyo. I asked him kindly to drop them at the Planet, but he rebutted with threats. I taught him his place. He should know now not to taunt the people of Kusari.
I came upon another Trader in Honshu. He was carrying Niobium out of Kusari. I asked him, not so nicely, to drop it. To my surprise, he activated some type of cloaking device and disappeared. A bad omen...

Subject: GC and Dragon Disgrace
Konnichiwa everyone,
Yesterday will be known as a grave defeat for Kusari. Although we may have been successful of purging a foolish gaijin from Liberty, the Dragons and GC had something different in mind for us. Short Kuroda from our ordeal with the Libertonian, Taishi Ze'ev and I met with two KNF officers, with whom we searched for a GC in New Tokyo. We found, though, two Blood Dragons in Red Catamarans outside Shinagawa. Soon they were joined by a Gunboat, which was destroyed, and then a Cruiser. We were then joined by several Corsairs passing through the system, much to our dismay, they openly assisted us against the two Bombers with a Gunboat and two fighters, while a Dragon Cruiser also joined in the fray.
We fought for not a minute when a swarm of GC in Red Catamarans came into view with yet another Gunboat and the treacherous Iron Watsas. Their numbers were astounding, and we managed to take down Watsas before the Taishi fell against the Gunboat. I soon followed, and I would assume the KNF followed suit with the Corsairs.
A grave day for Kusari,
~Sousuke Patro
