Report begin:
After preparing to leave Mayer Station, the UCS Zenpyou launched as part of the 4th Fleet's Anti-Pirate Task Force in response to lack of communication from the planet Miyame III. Upon arrival in the system the UCS Zenpyou came under attack from an unknown source, later determined to be members of the Barras family. Using sensor jamming technology enemy forces were able to board the Zenpyou and commenced an attack. Our forces split into two groups, one group under the command of Sub-Commander Stryker, and the other under my own command.
Sub-Commander Stryker's group was tasked with eliminating the sensor jamming technology that the Barras family was employing during their attack, while my own team engaged and repelled the boarders. After a fairly short firefight, we successfully repelled the boarders, but not before I made a poor decision that nearly cost my own life but put the lives of other members of my team in danger as well. Due to my attempts to remove one of the boarders from his power armor, I inadvertently caused the armor's power reactor to go critical and explode. The explosion melted the ablative shielding and wiped out the shields of my own Tenshi while critically wounding myself, in addition to wounding Peacekeeper 2nd Class Roken Techard. Luckily due to my race, and the skill of the surgeons involved both myself and Peacekeeper Roken recovered fairly quickly.
Once I came to, we had disabled the jamming and entered orbit on the planet. It was decided that Sub-Lieutenant Kitano Ai would lead a team planet side while Sub-Commander Stryker would remain on board the ship to question the boarders that we had captured. I went with Sub-Lieutenant Kitano as an assistant. When we arrived on the planet and entered the colony we found it deserted and booby-trapped. Eventually we discovered that the residents were hiding in the nearby mine, after making contact with them we began to ascertain what the current situation was.
We learned that the Barras family had killed one of the members of their colony and was blockading the colony. We proceeded to build a case against the Barras family by questioning the colonists, and reviewing the video footage. While reviewing the video, Sub-Lieutenant Kitano discovered that the security footage of the altercation had been altered, most alarming however was during questioning, Peacekeeper Roken discovered that the colonists were lying about the Barras family. Eventually, we ascertained that the Barras Family were in fact the victim, not the colonists. It was evident through the combination of testimony and video footage that it was actually a member of the Barras family that had been killed, and the colonists were in fact covering it up.
As these revelations were made known to us, I ordered our return to the ship to fill Commander Fleming in on the current situation. It was felt at the time, that resolving it peacefully was the best solution. The next morning I was appraised that Peacekeeper Recruit Alice Mason, a recent transfer having arrived when the UCS Cael docked with the Zenpyou to repair and finish supplying and equipping us, had assisted security forces in capturing 3 out of 4 saboteurs that had snuck aboard the Zenpyou during the first assault. Eventually, I decided to include Peacekeeper Recruit Mason in the final events that transpired.
Before that however, I met with Peacekeeper Roken that morning in the Officer's Mess over breakfast. We discussed the events that transpired on the planet and I indicated that it was desired we resolve this peacefully before messaging Peacekeeper Recruit Mason to join us. Upon her arrival I had both of them restate the various things they had learned before I revealed to them that I intended for them to negotiate a solution to this matter. After stating our goals, we discussed methods to achieve them, and I informed them of their role.
Later that day we began negotiations after tricking the colony to send representatives to retrieve materials, among them the murderer, and alerting the Barras family that we had captured some of their family and would be willing to return to them and negotiate a withdrawal of their blockade.
After a long amount of time negotiating, the Barras family eventually agreed to withdraw their ships from the blockade, in exchange we would punish the murderer and of course return their family members. On the other hand, they had attacked the Zenpyou, a Peacekeeper vessel, so some punishment was due. It was decided that their weapons would be looked over and some of them confiscated, though they would be left with enough to defend themselves in case of pirate attack.
On the matter of the colonists, they did not like being tricked when they found out the true intent of our summons. Nor did they seem particularly keen to giving up a member of their colony, but in the end they had little choice. Ultimately the matter had been resolved peacefully, though I fear that relationships between the colony, Barras family, and UOCPF has been heavily strained.
On my own part, I would like to recommend Peacekeeper Roken and Peacekeeper Mason for advancement. They both have shown extraordinary merit and demonstrated skill in their duties, as crazy as the duties I assigned them were.
Security forces aboard the Zenpyou have commented that Peacekeeper Mason went above and beyond her duty, by not only capturing 3 of 4 saboteurs, but managing to stabilized one of the saboteurs who would have died had it not been for the medical attention that Peacekeeper Mason applied.
Peacekeeper Roken has continually shown himself to be an intelligent and capable Peacekeeper. From his skills demonstrated in defense of the Zenpyou itself when first boarded, to his actions and efforts both on the planet and at the negotiating table he has proven himself capable.
This Sub-Lieutenant hereby states that she has reported all events to the best of her knowledge, providing as impartial of a view as possible.
Signed,
Sub-Lieutenant Hiragi Natsuko, UCS Zenpyou, UOCPF 4th Fleet

Commander Fleming,
There have been some matters of a personal note that have arisen during this time, as well as some questions and issues that I believe I will need some time to deal with. I've attached a request for leave, that I might attend to some of these issues, as well as allow the wounds I sustained to fully recover.
