Dabadoru taken

This is great day for all of humanity combined. The shield that protects colonies of man: The Order, has established first official outpost outside of deep Nomad worlds revealing to Sirius its power once again. 11th July 822 A.S. at hour 19:00 of Sirius Mean Time, Apophis taskforce under command of Axel Calder has invaded Omicron Delta star system, with intention of striking against weakened Core that committed to major offensive against the Corsairs at Nauru just day earlier. With brunt of Order forces bypassing entirely of enemy’s defensive line, Core’s command ship battleship Peleliu has been destroyed with all hands aboard in mere sixteen minutes since beginning of the operation, leaving main Core base - Dabadoru - in the system unguarded against boarding.

To surprise of all, Grand Admiral of The Order Michal Golanski has joined the strike group with previously unseen deployment of flagship of the Primary Fleet itself: carrier O.C.V. Fedayeen. Charging headlong, him and other ships of the strike punched through chaotic and then desperate pilots of the Core who now had to deal with overwhelming assault on two fronts. Entire taskforce regrouped within perimeter of Dabadoru itself and proceeded to deploy marines, with ordeal to take the installation intact. Mission ended with full success, with local garrison surrendering unconditionally after fifteen minutes of firefight over docking bays and control room.

Despite suggestions of notable Core pilot going by name Sapphire Raven to enslave or shoot everyone onboard in a display of total disrespect to lives of fellow soldiers, The Order allowed entirety of its personnel to give up their weapons and submit themselves to captivity as prisoners of war with full dignity. Estimated two thirds of crew has surrendered, part of them already shipped back to The Order space and some expressed interest in taking the black of Order’s uniform after what they consider “abandoned for certain death by Guildmaster Nodtviet”. Acting commander of the base has been found dead, witnesses claiming suicide after desertion of his entire force.

Admiral Golanski himself commented upon the situation, during inspection that took place day after. In his own words: “Core claims that they have exhausted purpose of this station, awkwardly and desperately attempting to find an excuse to cover up their defeat here. May be they are right in this particular case, as they have never been able to use their past and current assets to full potential. The Order sees great and bright future with Dabadoru.” Followed by official statement to people of Omicron Delta itself, on all public broadcasts.

“We have once been pushed out of this star system, forced to reassemble in the shadow by the genocidal maniacs that were put in charge of charade known as Core. They sought to enslave you, enforcing tyrannical laws or making them up on the go. Now, we can reclaim The Order Protectorate, with your help. We are neither your police or the government. You will not be shot for looking at officer in a bad way or failing to acknowledge some deluded monster in a suit as your god.”

The Order assures the local population of Omicron Delta, that this sector will be treated with regular procedures that are applied to literally just about any other system that is not restricted Order area. Possession of alien materials, both inactive and active by unauthorized individuals will be punished adequately - small price to pay, affecting solely but few greedy bad apples in a bunch that seek to undermine The Order’s effort to protect humanity.

This is all for today.

Freeport 11 under attack

It is our sad duty to announce that Freeport 11 fell victim to massive Core onslaught that spanned across the last few days. Against innumerable odds, with cassualties among installation's denizens mounting due to continued siege at hands of Nodtviet's Core fleet, The Order and its allies were however able to push Core away from Zoner station in daring counter attack. Despite initial losses, battle tipped in favour of The Order who throwed Core into complete dissarray and retreat all across Omicron Delta. With it, daring volunteers from all accross Sirius sector arrived en masse to deliver relief support to repair damage sustained to Freeport 11 during intense capital ship fire.

Grand Admiral Golanski of The Order promised all help that can be spared to be lent to Zoners to end the humanitarian crisis. In a rare public appearance, Adm. Golanski addressed defenders of Freeport 11 to continue their fight against opression against oppression. Transcript from this speech below.

"We are yet again besieged by forces that long to drag humanity into oblivion. If it is not alien, external threat in form of Nomads, we have to face traitors from among humanity itself. Core, a fascist genocidal regime that is attempting to forge themselves an empire on corpses of Sirians showed its true face today.

It is not the first time and those Zoners who remember days when Toledo was still a living world will surely recall Core's aggression against Zoners. It is only becoming clear that as long Core exists, our values we name as freedom and peace as we all understand are meaningless terms for fascist war machine. The Order was first target of their imperialistic ambitions, today these are the Zoners. I call upon all free Sirians to stand against Core, take up your arms and be ready to defend your very right to exist. For that it may also be revoked for Core's benefit.

Look past your ideologies and differences today, as tommorow it may be you who Core comes for. I saw various faces on Freeport 11 today. Representatives of all Sirian nations hauling from all corners of the Sector offering their help to prevent complete enslavement of all human life in Omicrons and beyond. Keep fighting, for you are not alone."

Among D.R.O.P. amenities required by local authorities to mantain the station, The Order sent weapons from fabled Kemwer, marines for security and new shield generator as a gift to Commonwealth of Zoners. Device much stronger than what is widely distributed on the market, projecting force field designed to withstand naval incursions. As per additional request from The Order Overwatch, all able volunteer pilots are asked to join ranks of The Order Fleet or rendezevous with organized ressistance to bring fight back to the Core. Humanity needs you.

This is all for today.

Stabilization of Delta, founding of Akihibara

Welcome back to the Order Protectorate News Service. We have been late in broadcasts due to the destruction of a comms relay in the Delta system, but thanks to the brave men and women of the cruiser Atum-Ra we are back on. So, without further ado, let us get into our top stories about what's going on in The Order Protectorate.

First we have the Stabilization of Omicron Delta and Freeport Eleven. After the historic mobilization of the largest transport fleet in history, the Delta Conflict has drawn to it's final close. Core patrols and movements have slowly declined after their ships, after the initial victory, were pushed back by the Allied Forces of Zoner, Order, Coalition, even Red Hessians mobilizing within the Omicron Theta system. An effort has brought the Core forces pushed from the Freeport Eleven perimeter back to Nauru, where the Order continues launching assaults from newly-christened Tahpanhes Station, formerly Dabadoru. We managed to catch Commander Jericho Forge of the Order, and commander of the battleship Svizra, flagship of the main Order fleet in the region, spared time to talk.

"The Delta Conflict has proven once again there is strength in unity; The Order could not succeed without Zoners, and the Zoners, without the Order. With the conflict wound down and the region stabilized, the Order can again resume our duty. One we couldn't do alone. Without the inhabitants of every corner of the Sirius Sector flocking to Eleven with supplies, with manpower, Eleven would not stand today. Freeport Eleven was just a station in hell. Now, Freeport Eleven is a monument. A monument that shows us all that, in unity, we find strength, and nothing can fall as long as we stand together. Our job is not over...no, it will continue, until those tainted by Nodtviet's madness are finally put down like the rabid animals they are."

With the Conflict wound down, Order patrols have moved on to their normal duties...but while the region stabilized from the conflict, the war with the Core continues. The loss of two hathors and the scrapping of the Resheph Neferkamin a few weeks ago was a temporary setback, but with fresh reinforcements from Epsilon, our hold on the region remains.

On a happier note, the Blood Dragon's Tenrai Division has finally finished the first subdivision of Ibaraki, founded by the Tenrai's Niwa Twins as a new settlement for their clan. We were unable to find the Niwa Twins for an interview, nor could we catch anyone else today. Maybe next time we will have a statement. Sakyo-ku will conrtinue it's build up, but as time goes on, it will become another monument to our strong alliance with the Blood Dragons. Subdivision Two of Ibarakiis currently under construction, and we eagerly await the chance to see the architecture of the Niwa Clan.

For our final story of today's broadcast, we have the honor of announcing the reactivation of Battleship Thebes. After it's departure from the dreadnought berth that housed it for the years after the Fall of Minor, we here at the News Service assumed it would be moved to Epsilon...but instead, we are pleased to announce the Thebes has taken up position next to Taba Starbase. Already patrols have been assigned and have launched from the Thebes, solidifying it's status as fully operational. While Grand Admiral Golanski was unavailable, we here at the News Service managed to corner Admiral Jeremy Hunter for an interview. The Admiral had this to say:

"Ever since Minor fell, we have struggled. Day after day, the Order has struggled. But now, our perseverance has paid off. The Thebes' repairs are complete, and it will be the tip of the spear for ourselves. It is our answer to the shadows that threaten the very existence of humanity. it is the wall upon which these shadows break and flee, and the day it leads us in battle, is the day that the Nomads will finally, truly, understand fear."

We thank the Admiral for his interesting view of the launch. next time we will be looking to have interviews from Admiral Liara Grey, Colonel Aoi Kunieda, and Inqusitor Kelly Hellion about Thebes, and possibly another speech from the Grand Admiral himself. Until then, stay vigilant everyone. The Nomads work best in the shadows - never forget the tragedies that occurred because of them.

This is all for today.

Coronado crisis

Important news of the week, brought to you by The Order Protectorate news service. 6th September 823 A.S. marks a day when a group known as ‘Battlegroup Auxesia’ had delivered declaration of war to Admiral Jeremy Hunter of The Order, after committing multiple cases of criminal and hostile acts by Auxesian fleet against The Order and its allies. Initially reluctant to retaliate against remarkably small and inefficient paramilitary, so called “Keeper” Sapphire Raven - more information concerning profile of the individual farther in the article - initiated an ambush in the star system of Coronado, violating yet again difficult no firing zone established by Crayterian government in a desperate attempt to decrease tensions in the region. Freelance gunboat “Redemption” in covert service to the Auxesia initiated combat with The Order vessel O.C.V. Amenhotep in a rouse to frame the captain into an “assault against civilian population of the barrier gate”, deploying its flagship ACV Eidolon Wraith with an alarming respond time to confront The Order. Lying to the local law enforcement agencies of Crayterian Navy, the commanding officer in charge remained rightly unconvinced by Auxesian plot.

After midnight in early hours of 8th September 823 A.S. Sirius Mean Time, The Grand Admiral Golanski greenlighted offensive operation against Auxesia’s Battlegroup in what he described as “Unprecedented false flag operation, revealing the true face and intentions of the traitors to humanity that Auxesians are”. 1st Battlegroup of The Black Fleet was called to deliver the blow against rendezvous point of Auxesian capital vessels found within the Barrier nebula. Deploying O.C.V. Fedayeen and O.C.V. Amenhotep , our fleet has bested A.C.V. Eidolon Wraith and A.C.V. Cincinnati in full fleet combat, driving remainder of hostile battlegroup out of the system. It is expected that enemy presence in Coronado and neighbouring systems will be severely limited as a result, freeing this portion of independent worlds from terrorist reign of the “Battlegroup Axesia” for the time being.

In the home territories, the suspicious silence from the Core is reinforcing The Order’s Intelligence suspicion that Guildmaster Nodtviet was assassinated and replaced, most likely by members his inner circle during later stages of Freeport 11 crisis. While loss of this warlord should ease plight of civilian population in the Omicrons, Core threat remains at large. This shift in geopolitical situation of the star cluster altered the most wanted lists issued by The Order. Short profiles of the dangerous individuals sought by The Fleet will be listed here. The attached pictures are as last seen by The Order.

⧫ Sapphire Raven

Head of a personality cult labelled under the title of Battlegroup Auxesia, Raven is ex-Core Guildmaster tired of living in shadow of Nodtviet. Mentally unstable, dangerous and surrounded by brainwashed fanatics. Raven was sentenced to death by The Order on basis of crimes against humanity committed during Core career and further infringements occuring after defection. Also sought after by Liberty and Crayterian law enforcement alike on basis of criminal and terrorist activity in their respective territories.
⧫ Joshua “Endurance” Hunt

Second in command to Battlegroup Auxesia, also known more under nickname of “Curator Endurance”. Romantically involved with Sapphire Raven, Hunt is believed to be personally responsible for Battlegroup’s day-to-day operations. Sentenced to death in absentia after failing to instigate coup against The Order Overwatch General Assembly. Considered dangerous terrorist by Liberty and Crayterian governments.
⧫ Joseph "Tantalus" Grooms

An ex-Order operative of “HORUS” task force, declared traitor to humanity by belief, action and affiliation. Tantalus disappeared in illogical and conflicting circumstances after his relations to Battlegroup Auxesia were revealed to The Order Overwatch and thus was not added to the List of the Fallen. Sought after to either face a trial for his crimes or ultimately confirm his death.

This is all for today.

Coronado victory

Tonight declassified information were released from The Order central, concerning until now unexplained energy emissions that could be detected from any point of Coronado star system 10th October 823. Battlegroup under command of Admiral Golanski has managed to annihilate Nomad jump gate spanning between Coronado to desolate Tau 117 (Bretonian star maps referring as Drake), sealing off immediate access of Nomad forces into Crayterian and Liberty-Bretonian border space that could have been facilitated for invasion by Nomad / Wild assets gathered on the other side. Existence of the portal was kept under the radar until now, however in recent years more and more Freelancers passing through barrier nebula became less or more aware that depths of the cloud were not as safe as people have expected.

As we know, Coronado housed to major staging point for The Order fleet with many wild speculating rumors concerning its real purpose. Some suggested an act of war against neighbouring worlds, other brought up ‘family errands’. We are now speaking to Admiral Golanski himself who agreed to give us commentary on ongoing situation.

“As our mission parameters were completed, I am happy to announce that deployment of our most recent marvels of The Order’s science and engineering was complete success. Project ‘Nemesis’ was trialed in Omicrons under my direct supervision, achieving unquestionably positive results in our former home system of Omicron Minor where it was used twice to disable two nodes facilitated by the Nomads into attacking human controlled space. Improved upon since and launched a third time, there was not even a husk to set an eye upon… only dust and rubble. Nomads will be driven methodically back to their most backward lairs and then reduced to oblivion.”

The Order R&D refuses to release more details concerning the so called Nemesis device, referring only that readings gathered during the dramatic conclusion to Coronado crisis will be analyzed and this “weapon” will be made available against future strikes against Nomad’s own homeworlds.

This is all for now.

The Loss of Kebok, and Operation: RED RIDING HOOD

With a final public statement, the fate of Kebok Depot has been confirmed. The blackbox recordings have been placed in the public library of Akhateten, with Captain Jericho Forge of the CV-Svizra givine a eulogy. Captain Forge was first on scene after the Sixth Battlegroup, the "Scars of Toledo," managed to break through the Core lines, but it was too late. Kebok was lost with all hands. Blackbox recordings recovered from the wreckage, as well as the crew list, were also recovered, though the crew list was partially damaged. It has taken us a few weeks to gather the information, and as of today all next of kin have been informed. The list of the three hundred lives lost on Kebok has been released to the general public of the Order. Unable to contact Captain Forge, we at Protectorate News managed to get a long-range call with Commander Amanda Hunter-Owens, the XO of the battleship Oathkeeper, to give us her view on this.

"The wanton destruction of Kebok shows the brutality and callousness of not only the Core, but the so-called "vanguard of humanity" that is Auxesia. And still Auxesia call themselves better? They have told Jeremy Hunter that we are not focusing on the real threat, that we are ignoring the Nomads in favor of fighting the Core. But today, they have shown everyone who has even an inkling of doubt in our fight the true face of both the Core, and Auxesia. It was not the Nomads, nor the Wilde, Aoi Iseijin, or even the Liberty Wild of Division Nine, who laid siege and held our relief forces back. It was not the power of Harbinger that struck down three hundred lives, but Auxesia, the Core. It was humans. And now, as we mourn, we all must remember that the Order's job is not just to stop the Nomads, but to hold back the Core. To hold back the monsters that were birthed from our own race. If the Core succeed, they will use Nomad technology to subjugate and take over. They will create an empire and soon, no one shall be able to stand and speak their mind. The fight against the Core once again is shown to be just - for it was not Harbinger, but the ilk of Nodtviet, that destroyed Kebok.

Remember who turned on us in Minor, in our darkest hour, when our true enemy showed their face. Remember who destroyed the Starborn, for being "obnoxious." Remember who invaded our home with ships of war and insults. Remember who attacked Freeport Eleven. Who cried for blood when we chose Liberty over them? It was not the Order who decides death is a just decision for being annoyed; it was not the Order who invaded the home of someone we wished to befriend, with warships brimming with soldiers and weaponry. It was the offspring of Nodtviet, the brainwashed and ignorant who chose to wage war. They say we lost our principles...but did they ever have them in the first place?

Many can say we have lost our sight, but you need only look at what is at stake. If we were to move our entire fleet to fight the Nomads, every ship, every man and woman, what would happen? The Core would pounce, they would strike, slaughtered every man, woman, and child until only they remained. We are in a war where the enemy has already made five moves to our one. We fight the machinations of Harbinger...the machinations of a foe who infiltrated us, before we even know they existed.

The Nomads fight not just with their own bodies but with our bodies. And anyone who thinks that our war with the Core, with Auxesia, with the Outcasts who worship the Nomads...with those who wish to misuse the technology of the Nomads...anyone who thinks we have lost sight of our true goal, has never been able to see at all."

We thank Commander Hunter-Owens for her time, and further thank her for arranging a talk with the Admiral later in this broadcast.

Operation: RED RIDING HOOD

More reports on the victory in Coronado have been released from the WEDJAT Division, pertaining to an operation dubbed RED RIDING HOOD. Alongside the battleship Amenhotep, the Third Battlegroup - Gallant Dawn - alongside a Crayter Battlegroup, callsign PHOENIX FLAMES, enacted a blitz assault on the Tau-117 System, otherwise known as Drake. Utilizes speed and tactical fleet formations, Gallant Dawn led a strike that ended with heavy damage inflicted to the Nomad fleet positioned in the system. The primary objective of RED RIDING HOOD was the extraction or assassination of Vice Admiral Alexis Hunter of the Liberty Navy; the information she had would have been a great security risk to the Republic of Liberty. While the time taken to enact the assault was questionable, we are proud to inform our listeners that the Vice Admiral was cleared of all infection and returned to Liberty. Reports are sketchy on what exactly happened within the Drake system, with rumors stating help arrived from an unusual source. We will keep our listeners updated on all information that pertains to this as it is released by the WEDJAT Division.

Finally, the Admiral had this to say:

“Knowing if half the battle. That is one of the major reasons I succeeded. Knowing your enemy, not just knowing the Nomads, but the Spectres involved, played a major part in this. it was thanks to Crayter, to Battlegroup Wargods, and to the men and women under my command, that this strike succeeded. The Vice Admiral is home once more, and Liberty has been able to keep it's national security mostly intact, the Order showed the Liberty Navy where it's heart lies, and this is thanks to Michal Golanski, Kelly Hellion, and the men and women under Crayter's control. Our loses were heavy, and the only people I can say are at fault are those who deserted their post and decided to chase ghosts. Whether they are ghosts themselves or not, this victory was done through faith, trust, and will. And that is how we will win this war - by having faith in those we follow, trusting those we ally with, and having the will to do what is right - even if it is hard.”

We thank Admiral Hunter for his time.
This is all for now.

Establishing of Consulate

Protectorate colony of Akabat had suffered brief combat between The Order space marines and "revolutionary" forces of so called "Legion of Steel" during attempted coup against The Order Overwatch General Assembly. Small group of officers and infrantry units under their command sought to institute their reign of terror by striking against main nerves of The Order's chain of command in Akabat, Akhetanen. According to Overwatch's representative, Legion was utterly defeated after firefight, failing in taking of their objectives. Subsequently, their remnant was arrested and faction effectively ceased to exist in The Order Protectorate Space after testimony of the group's second in command, Lt. Cmd. Deryll Hoss. He was dishonorably stripped of his rank and office and sentenced to penal corps.

Sadly, it had not come without a cost. Admiral Jeremy Hunter had perished in combat, defending his fellow men to his last momenths. An Order veteran of over two decades, he shall be missed by his family. Funeral will proceed at wishes of Hunter's closest relative after state of increased combat alert will be rescinded by Akabat's orbital defense HQ. Furthermore Admiral Michal Golanski suffered injuries in combat alike, both Overwatch members being target of the insurrection. With command of the Black Fleet safely secured by beforehand assigned C.O.'s, The Order remains at large.

In light of recent event, The Order Overwatch Convocation was formed to tackle issues arising from Admiralty Board being taken out of the action. Council of individuals shall oversee non-combatant affairs, as well as diplomacy and definitive control over The Order's Research and Development in wake of non-applicable personnel to perform those duties. First meeting between representatives of the Black Fleet and Consuls aims at reforms to cope with threats both internal and external, among other things the never ceasing Omicron Delta crisis.

The few surviving members of the Legion of Steel are sentenced to death, further inquiry looking into fate of unafillated soldiers potentially manipulated during reported blue on blue incidents. Leader of the Legion who still remains at large, pressumed to having fled to Omegas will be brought to justice by The Order forces dispatched to chase him down. Black Fleet also voted in favour of reintegration of Major rank, an officer post supplementing existing Colonels. Black Fleet will independently look into promoting adequate operatives into this post.

This is all for now.

Nomad infiltration

Armed conflict between The Order and known off-shot of Core of Auxesia lasts for months, but until very recently it was merely caused by Auxesian's blatant disregard for The Order personnel and its ideals. Recent encounters had shaken this point of view entirely. Brave operatives of The Order found evidence that ex-Guildmaster of the Core, founder and secretive leader of Auxesia is infected agent of the threat she 'sworn' to protect humanity from. Due to prevalence of this threat across all of Sirius, and consorting of Auxesia's almost divine icon with not just aliens but also Maltese terrorists urged Office of The Order's Intelligence to release what had been uncovered so far.

⧫ Omicron Delta encounter

Spoiler

How long has it been going on for? Had fall of Sapphire Raven happened relatively recently or dates back to Core days? Has this shift been major influence in Auxesian choice of waging war against The Order? There are many lingering questions, some may remain unanswered for years to come. Core, even in their foolish disregard for safety rules and lacking countermeasures against Nomad infiltration via 'Incubi' - parasitical sub-species of Nomad - would eventually get word of it unless action was taken, which analysts suggest is what might have caused original Auxesian battlegroup to split off.

Outcasts, inhuman invaders of both our colonies and minds of their victims, active artifacts, talks of crimes unforgivable and Oracles - the cult of the worst that Sirius has to offer, retreating under their spiritual guidances of the Slomon K'Hara (Nomads) overlords. Threat is very much real and it is The Order - not Core or Auxesia - that is Humanity's blazing fist in this unforgiving universe.

The Order insists on imminent breaking any and all contacts with this Nomad agency as spread of infestation and influence is at the momenth too difficult to judge. Merely having all crucial players in Auxesian command is however sufficient to throw entire organization into Nomad's war machine, a sleeper cell ready to wreck chaos and false flag operations sometimes even without awareness of their subordinates as it had taken place in 800 A.S. with Rheinland Military Command. What can be told, is that The Order's zero tolerance policy will spring into effect. Consuls of General Assembly commend all brave souls that risked their lives in pursuit of truth.

This is all for now.

Technological advancment

It is by edict of The Order Overwatch General Assembly that its latest technological advancment will be declassified to the general public. It is historic momenth where The Order had inevitably caught up and overcame the tech race against its countless enemies who seek disruption of the Sirian peace.

Here present, is Inquisitor Vernor, representative of The Order's own intelligence division "WEDJAT". With that we are switching to the live feed at undisclosed Order installation in the Omicron constellation.

Dimly lit hangar kept in Liberty's own style and architecture, reminiscing very specific New York's hangars. The Order's logo at the furthermost wall however spells it is not a Libertonian installation. At the first plane, three soldiers clad in The Order's black naval fatigues, goggles, balaclavas and tactical gear brandishing Kemwer's brand on their shortened assault rifles. The soldier standing at the forefront, with arms crossed at the back is the Inquisitor interviewed by a reporter. His accent betrays his origins in House of Liberty. Behind them, two warheads only minimally bigger than typical payload of a NOVA anti-capital torpedo standing on a secure anti-grav racks. More observant of the viewers may note combinations of numbers and letters: X-5 OSO-01 and X-5 OSO-02. Far more soldiers at the sidelines, guarding the devices in question.

"Inquisitor Vernor, there had been rumors that The Order had acquired the ill-famed NEMP devices. But these, look like ordinary warheads you could find in any Sirian munition shop in Liberty. What exactly we are looking at here?"

"These are the first two of Order's own answer to the dreaded NEMP warheads. You are right, a typical NEMP warhead is capital sized missile typically brought into battle by specially prepared gunboat hull. These ones... were miniaturized in order to be carried as strategic deterrence by ships as small as Nephthys starfighter and it is likely that even an Onuris interceptor could deliver them where they are needed."

"You mentioned strategic deterrence. What are Order's actual plans concerning use of said device?"

"For too long NEMP's had been weapons of mass destruction utilized by Core or even your typical terrorist akin Tutashkia. We made a new step and are ready to bring those weapons to bear if we are forced to act. It is also testament to Order's ingenuity and its capabilities to defend itself. The Order Overwatch's intention is to apply the Mutually Assured Destruction protocol in order to ensure that The Order remains the dominant force in the central Omicrons, not Core or The Wild. There will be no second guessing our capability to protect us and our allies in wake of interstellar strategic warfare."

"What about Nomad organic and crystalic structures?"

"We are running tests but it appears the radiation strenghtems then rather than deliver the hurt. Strategic use of weapons of mass destruction of this kind against Nomad stationary assets is counter productive... they feed on radiation of any kind. However their human hosts are wholly different matter. They are as quishy as us and use the same human tech as the basis."

"How many warheads does Order have in its arsenal?"

"Cannot disclose, the information is classified. However we have more than these two back in there. They are expected to be combat ready by end of the week in the Omicron theatre."

"Thank you for your time, Inquisitor."

"Stay safe, civilian"

It is believed that Core posesses a stash of its own NEMP weaponry and it cannot be excluded that various organizations and independent freelancers may had acquired such awe inspiring weapons. While it may not protect Sirius from attacks of deranged individual, a state agent would think twice about consequences of double-crossing the humanity itself.

This is all for now.
