Recently, a group of Auxesian ships have made their way into the Omicrons in order to find the cause that rendered one of our recon drones inoperable. The group consisted of following ships/pilots: Specter, SV-Artemis, Jari Aalto, Serpentis, Phantom (dropped out early), ACV-Redshift (joined later)
The mission started at Barrier, from which we headed through the Omegas to eventually reach Gamma. From there, Delta wasn't far and we made our way into the cloud to investigate where the missing drone had disappeared to. What we found was quite... astounding, to say the least. It seems like the Nomads have begun constructing a massive object, Seemingly carved from giant asteroids... or in this case planetoids. It looked like an excavation side of sorts at the first couple of glances, but after finding out what was inside, it is logical to assume that it was built quite recently. We also found out that several others pieces of planetoids were scattered around the rest of the cloud, making additional constructs possible in the future. We also found deposits of Azurite gas flying around in the center of the main structure. Samples which the Artemis has now in possession.
After we returned to the Freeport for repairs, the ACV-Redshift, Jari Aalto and me made our way into Omicron Lost for a rather routine patrol to investigate possible changes in the environment. We found an intact station called Outer Rim University. While I've heard of this name before, not many people seem to be visiting anymore at all, as the structure appeared to be abandoned. After that, the sweep of the sector continued and we found yet another planetoid to the north-east of the sector. Initial scans revealed that it contained Iridium. Scans of the asteroid field around it indicated the same and we were able to fetch some samples which were eventually also transferred to the Artemis.
After our return from Lost, we headed back to the large Nomad structure to find out two scientists, namely Thallia Thorn and Hans von Goeben were investigating the structure. Unfortunately our presence had also alerted the Nomads at this point and soon we had to pull away in order to prevent loss of life. Which we successfully did. And so did the Scientists. Concluding our operations in the Omicrons, we then headed back to Coronado via Rheinland and Liberty.
All in all, quite eventful with revelations of potential new Nomad technology or even some sort of outpost. Time will tell what we're dealing with and I hope this report is helping with that. The rest of the attachments are found below.
