Apologies for the delays. The war with Liberty encroaching dangerously to our home has shifted our immediate priorities in the meanwhile, they are - afterall - one system from our homeworld.
You mentioned you wished to utilise their secrets to enhance yourselves. Please elaborate. What is it that you wish to adapt from their forms? Their weapons? ... Everything?
I will admit, their attack is entirely unprecedented. From what we understand of this brood from years of study, their intentions are with Sirius, not with Gallia. Do you perhaps have any information as to why they are attacking? Does Gallia hold an artifact of theirs?
If we can find the purpose of their attacks, we can see about giving Gallia some time to develop technologies to protect themselves from the inevitable Sirian 'revenge retaliation'. Although, if I were you, I would not mention anything regarding augmenting your research arsenal with the non-Human. The Order has a vendetta against those who stray from the idea of remaining a "pure human" - in ideology, research, or otherwise self.
Hm. Perhaps there might be a way to divert their attention from Gallia, allowing us to have a source of information to research upon, without having to drive them to extinction... Who knows. I cannot provide anything yet without some closure.
We can help, but we need to know the truth, so that we can avoid potential accidents or conflicts of interest. I will need that query I previously mentioned answered; Do you know why they are attacking?

Brute force against the Nomads is a lost cause, one that WILL lead to your downfall from the opportunistic parasites known as Bretonia, Crayter, Liberty and Kusari looking to claim revenge upon your people. They use this opportunity to weaken you, whilst the Order strolls around claiming to be saviours - when they cooperate with your enemies. Keep them at arms length.
For now, I highly advise you place Orkney into a Quarantine Zone to prevent them getting more provoked, as well as containing potential compromised vessels. We will try to work on gathering intel regarding this particular brood of Nomad.
Unfortunately, these said parasites - besides Kusari - are also problematic with us too. We are currently surrounded by them, and our most efficient labs are present on Elgin.
We believe that we can work towards pacifying - essentially nullifying or misdirecting - the Nomads that trouble you. And I fully find our engineers capable enough to exploit the power of the Nomads' materials. But we will need assistance.
In lieu of this, we would like to discuss the possibility of further cooperation and exchange with Gallia and the Technocracy to address our mutual problems. More so, we want to seek avenues to ensure both of our survival against these endless foes we are faced with. We cannot help you without receiving help ourselves, likewise, such applies to your people too.
