The Admiralty appreciates your notification. Encounters of the sort you experienced, while not common, are far from unheard of. Nomads, the species you encountered, usually keep to the Edge Worlds unless they've got reason to move, though sightings in central space are more frequent than any of us would like. They've displayed limited telepathic ability in the past. The smaller organisms that make it to Liberty haven't demonstrated capabilities beyond what your experience suggests, and remain vulnerable to fighter-grade weaponry.

Without detailed scans it's difficult to provide you with more information than that. Standing orders on contact with nomad snubcraft remain:

Nomad vessels larger than snubcraft should not be engaged without numerically superior capital or bomber wing support, and any contact with nomads by civilian vessels or stations must be prevented. Nomad ships outclass ours by a significant margin. It's worth bearing that in mind if you have the misfortune to run up against one a second time, don't be afraid to use the resources we have in-system.

I trust the above clarifies the situation. I've advised your squadron leader of the incident, and I expect he'll have an appointment with a corpsman scheduled for you this afternoon to confirm the LSF's scans.

Regards,
