Subject: Request for Intelligence: Unidentified Entity "Noth" Operating Near Zoner Holdings

Esteemed Zoner delegates,

This message is dispatched under secure diplomatic encryption and pertains to potential threats within and near your spheres of operation—specifically concerning recent investigations coordinated by The Order and elements of the Hessian paramilitary, Die Roten Front.

As per recent findings, a previously unknown paramilitary cell operating under the callsign "Noth Squadron" has been linked to anomalous engagements, sensor irregularities, and covert ship movements through Omicron and Omega corridors.

Of particular concern:
Freeport–proximal jump holes in Kappa, Omicron Delta and Theta show logged interference spikes matching the same quantum echo pattern observed during earlier Nomad incursions. While not conclusive, the data strongly implies that “Noth” may be a shell operation—either fronting for or manipulated by a hostile, possibly infected intelligence.

As your installations often serve as crossroads between House systems and fringe zones, your neutrality makes you potential targets—or inadvertent hosts—for sleeper cells.

We are reaching out with the following requests:

• Surveillance Records – If any Freeport or Zoner vessel has detected unusual transponder IDs, crew inconsistencies, or unexplained docking requests from vessels matching “Noth” or resembling heavily modified Rheinland military craft, we ask for full disclosure.
  
• Station Logs – Please review your long-range docking records and station approach traffic for the last 8 months for unexplained anomalies, false credentials, or unregistered cargo transfers.
  
• Cautionary Protocols – We recommend temporary non-docking status for any ships tagged as “Noth” or unidentified Rheinland gunboats/freighters traveling in combat-ready groupings.
  

We do not seek to compromise Zoner neutrality—only to ensure the long-term security of your communities and the wider sector. Should any administration wish to coordinate discrete intel sharing, our node in Omicron Mu remains open for encrypted packet transmission.

In solidarity against deeper threats,

– Agent S. Kephra
Field Cell VEIL-7, Recon Division
The Order, Omicron Command

This is a joint coordination effort between The Order and verified elements of Die Roten Front and 34th Hades Brigade.
