 The Heartbreaker emerged from [[stararmy:bases:gemini_star_fortress]] in 1/37 after undergoing repairs and refitting, immediately jumping to [[system:ux-29]] with its new crew.  After explaining the importance of their mission, the Taii sent them to explore a supposedly abandoned Mishhuvurthyar base as a sort of training exercise.  Although the enemy ships and other defenses in orbit had been destroyed and the installation stripped of all useful equipment, they still found a surprise waiting for them.  Evidence of experimentation on captured Neko, along with a dormant parasite swarm and zombified Neko.  Escaping the awakened threat with only two relatively minor injuries, the main entrance was collapsed as the crew members returned to the ship.  Judging further exploration to not be worth their time and limited resources, the Taii ordered the Heartbreaker on to their next stop, [[system:ux-hb-1]].  The remains of the base were thoroughly destroyed several months later by orbital bombardment. The Heartbreaker emerged from [[stararmy:bases:gemini_star_fortress]] in 1/37 after undergoing repairs and refitting, immediately jumping to [[system:ux-29]] with its new crew.  After explaining the importance of their mission, the Taii sent them to explore a supposedly abandoned Mishhuvurthyar base as a sort of training exercise.  Although the enemy ships and other defenses in orbit had been destroyed and the installation stripped of all useful equipment, they still found a surprise waiting for them.  Evidence of experimentation on captured Neko, along with a dormant parasite swarm and zombified Neko.  Escaping the awakened threat with only two relatively minor injuries, the main entrance was collapsed as the crew members returned to the ship.  Judging further exploration to not be worth their time and limited resources, the Taii ordered the Heartbreaker on to their next stop, [[system:ux-hb-1]].  The remains of the base were thoroughly destroyed several months later by orbital bombardment.
  
-Once arriving in system, a Star Army distress beacon was detected.  Its location was traced to a nearby inhabitable jungle planet, [[planet:ux-hb-1_i]].  Captain Tsukisaki had her First Officer select an away team to investigate the distress call, although most were aware that this could all be a trap.  The team was ordered to forgo armor for the mission, to minimize loss of equipment in a worst case scenario.  The crew members were deemed easier to replace than the equipment by the Taii, which did not sit well with most.  After landing and investigating a crash site, they found the wreckage showed signs of salvage, suggesting possible survivors.  With the thick vegetation hindering both scans and movement, the team attempted to brave the jungle, before being ambushed by a [[species:crab-type_mishhuvurthyar]].  The team suffered injuries but managed to prevail, even with their lack of armor, and were surprised by the assistance of two surviving Neko sprites.+Once arriving in system, a Star Army distress beacon was detected.  Its location was traced to a nearby inhabitable jungle planet, [[planet:ux-hb-1_i]].  Captain Tsukisaki had her First Officer select an away team to investigate the distress call, although most were aware that this could all be a trap.  The team was ordered to forgo armor for the mission, to minimize loss of equipment in a worst case scenario.  The crew members were deemed easier to replace than the equipment by the Taii, which did not sit well with most.  After landing and investigating a crash site, they found the wreckage showed signs of salvage, suggesting possible survivors.  With the thick vegetation hindering both scans and movement, the team attempted to brave the jungle, before being ambushed by a [[species:mishhuvurthyar:crab-type]].  The team suffered injuries but managed to prevail, even with their lack of armor, and were surprised by the assistance of two surviving Neko sprites.
  
 After a few days of interrogation and debriefing, the sprites were officially returned to Star Army and added to the Heartbreaker's roster.  The crew enjoyed a day of shore leave on an area of the planet the two Neko had safely secured before continuing to their next destination,  [[system:ux-hb-2]].  Upon their arrival, they detected a cloned Star Army distress call broadcasting from an unknown alien craft.  Two members of the insectoid  [[species:iee]], ambassadors, were on board, along with a third alien. After a few days of interrogation and debriefing, the sprites were officially returned to Star Army and added to the Heartbreaker's roster.  The crew enjoyed a day of shore leave on an area of the planet the two Neko had safely secured before continuing to their next destination,  [[system:ux-hb-2]].  Upon their arrival, they detected a cloned Star Army distress call broadcasting from an unknown alien craft.  Two members of the insectoid  [[species:iee]], ambassadors, were on board, along with a third alien.

 The ambassadors had discovered the lone alien in hibernation on board her personal craft, which had drifted far off course.  The trio were forced to flee from the aggressive and territorial Thoot family of I'ee, and the ambassadors' ship had become damaged in the process.  Surprised by the aliens broadcasting in Yamataian, the Heartbreaker intervened under the assumption that the heretofore unknown I'ee had gained their information by either studying or interacting with [[stararmy:fleets:uesu_fleet]].  After destroying several Thoot ships in order to escape with their new allies, the Heartbreaker rendezvoused with the Seisenkyo to transfer the aliens back to known space. The ambassadors had discovered the lone alien in hibernation on board her personal craft, which had drifted far off course.  The trio were forced to flee from the aggressive and territorial Thoot family of I'ee, and the ambassadors' ship had become damaged in the process.  Surprised by the aliens broadcasting in Yamataian, the Heartbreaker intervened under the assumption that the heretofore unknown I'ee had gained their information by either studying or interacting with [[stararmy:fleets:uesu_fleet]].  After destroying several Thoot ships in order to escape with their new allies, the Heartbreaker rendezvoused with the Seisenkyo to transfer the aliens back to known space.
  
-Acting upon information from the [[species:iee]] the crew journeyed to [[system:ux-hb-3]] to investigate the last known location of a derelict [[stararmy:starship_classes:ayame-class_cruiser]].  They discovered that the crew members on board the cruiser had been infested with [[species:parasite-type_mishhuvurthyar]] who had then taken control of the ship. Uesu used his overrides to leave the ship powered down and immobile, then left a prototype combat android on board to gather data on its effectiveness as an anti-parasite weapon.  The android viewed the alien as an alien threat, reactivated, and attempted to eliminate her.  [[characters:yamatai:skade_masashiga]] and the alien managed to use the ship's computers to temporarily disable the android, although it injured the alien before it could be brought to a halt by new orders from the Taii.  Kinzoku no Byakko was more than willing to fall in line under the officer's command, and assisted in evacuating the crew from the cruiser, including the civilian it had attacked moments before.+Acting upon information from the [[species:iee]] the crew journeyed to [[system:ux-hb-3]] to investigate the last known location of a derelict [[stararmy:starship_classes:ayame-class_cruiser]].  They discovered that the crew members on board the cruiser had been infested with [[species:mishhuvurthyar:parasite-type]] who had then taken control of the ship.

 After securing the cruiser for later recovery by other Star Army forces, the Heartbreaker continued onward to [[system:ux-hb-4]].  Detecting a strange transmission while en route, the alien discovered it was an alien distress signal.  With the broadcast increasing in strength and clarity as they approached the next UX system Uesu had encountered, they realized an alien station had drifted into their path, and had likely been in the system when [[stararmy:fleets:uesu_fleet]] had originally passed through.  Judging by the name he had given to the system, the lack of any interaction with the aliens was most likely intentional. After securing the cruiser for later recovery by other Star Army forces, the Heartbreaker continued onward to [[system:ux-hb-4]].  Detecting a strange transmission while en route, the alien discovered it was an alien distress signal.  With the broadcast increasing in strength and clarity as they approached the next UX system Uesu had encountered, they realized an alien station had drifted into their path, and had likely been in the system when [[stararmy:fleets:uesu_fleet]] had originally passed through.  Judging by the name he had given to the system, the lack of any interaction with the aliens was most likely intentional.
  
-The Heartbreaker discovered they had been beaten to the Station by the [[species:iee]], who already had a small fleet surrounding it when they arrived.  [[characters:independent:sally_eeith]] and [[characters:iee:yui_eeith]] soon arrived in a shuttle borrowed from the [[stararmy:starships:yss_soyokaze]].  The Ambassadors boarded the Heartbreaker to act as liaisons, revealing that several I'ee had already perished attempting to enter the Station.  An away team from the Heartbreaker breached the Station's automated defenses, discovering that [[species:parasite-type_mishhuvurthyar]] infected aliens had been running rampant.  With backup from the I'ee, crew members infiltrated the Station and contacted the leader of the surviving aliens.  Through a joint effort, the infected were rooted out and pushed back from critical areas of the station...although the leader revealed that a majority of the infected aliens had fled the Station on scout ships shortly before the I'ee had arrived.+The Heartbreaker discovered they had been beaten to the Station by the [[species:iee]], who already had a small fleet surrounding it when they arrived.  [[characters:independent:sally_eeith]] and [[characters:iee:yui_eeith]] soon arrived in a shuttle borrowed from the [[stararmy:starships:yss_soyokaze]].  The Ambassadors boarded the Heartbreaker to act as liaisons, revealing that several I'ee had already perished attempting to enter the Station.  An away team from the Heartbreaker breached the Station's automated defenses, discovering that [[species:mishhuvurthyar:parasite-type]] infected aliens had been running rampant.  With backup from the I'ee, crew members infiltrated the Station and contacted the leader of the surviving aliens.  Through a joint effort, the infected were rooted out and pushed back from critical areas of the station...although the leader revealed that a majority of the infected aliens had fled the Station on scout ships shortly before the I'ee had arrived.
  
 After leaving the aliens and their Station in the care of the Seisenkyo, the Heartbreaker travelled to [[system:ux-hb-6]] along with representatives from the I'ee.  While the crew enjoyed some long awaited shore leave on the implausibly hospitable planet, the officers aided representatives from [[stararmy:command]] in meeting with the I'ee to begin negotiating the [[wip:faction:yamatai:yamatai-i_ee_non-aggression_treaty]].  Although it was not immediately approved by either side, the drafting of the document enabled both sides to better understand the other.  After leaving the aliens and their Station in the care of the Seisenkyo, the Heartbreaker travelled to [[system:ux-hb-6]] along with representatives from the I'ee.  While the crew enjoyed some long awaited shore leave on the implausibly hospitable planet, the officers aided representatives from [[stararmy:command]] in meeting with the I'ee to begin negotiating the [[wip:faction:yamatai:yamatai-i_ee_non-aggression_treaty]].  Although it was not immediately approved by either side, the drafting of the document enabled both sides to better understand the other. 
  
-With relations between the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]] and the [[species:iee]] steadily improving, the Heartbreaker was ordered to temporarily break from their mission to pursue reports of [[species:mishhuvurthyar]] activity near the I'ee homeworld.  However, there were also reports that the [[faction:independent:oso|OSO]] had already handled the [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:nmx]] in the area, leading to an unexpected meeting...+With relations between the [[faction:yamatai_star_empire]] and the [[species:iee]] steadily improving, the Heartbreaker was ordered to temporarily break from their mission to pursue reports of [[species:mishhuvurthyar:mishhuvurthyar]] activity near the I'ee homeworld.  However, there were also reports that the [[faction:independent:oso|OSO]] had already handled the [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:nmx]] in the area, leading to an unexpected meeting...
