REPORT INFORMATION

On the morning of December 11, 834 A.S., in 11:23 Task Force "Sigma" successfully intercepted and destroyed a group of small Nomad vessels carrying artifacts needed for research. Although some of the artifacts did not survive, the rest were enough to fully load one of the transport frigates and begin preparations for its departure into the Omicrons.

Four Anubis-class fighters were deployed as an escort for the frigate. At 14:00, the transport group moved out to Omicron Delta and traveled most of the way without incident. As soon as the group crossed half of the Omicron Kappa system, sensors detected several Nomad squadrons, consisting primarily of light fighters, heading to intercept.

Immediately sending a distress signal, group attempted to delay the battle but was still forced into an unequal fight. Enemy concentrated fire on the transport frigate. Timely reinforcements allowed to repel the attack, although the enemy managed to destroy the frigate.

Some of the artifacts were destroyed in the explosion of frigate, enemy has managed exctract several artifacts and escape in an unknown direction. All remaining artifacts were successfully loaded onto other ships and delivered to Dabadoru Station.

- It seems that our opponent values ​​these spheres very much.

- Interior units sent to patrol Omicron will be required to provide additional forces to rendezvous with the transport group at a pre-arranged location and escort it to its destination.

NOTES

1. All transport groups must receive additional escort ships.
   
2. Before moving, the transport group reports a rendezvous point to the cruiser Hades, from where all information is sent to the nearest squadrons. Their goal is to reach the rendezvous point before the transport group arrives there.
   
3. The transport group and the meeting squadrons form a "transport pair", which is given a password word for identification and to avoid interception of transport ships by third parties.
