I came across something very discerning during my return to Cochrane today. As I made the jump to Ontario from California I spotted a hostile signature on my scanners, FRS-Roanoke. I approached the vessel to investigate and noticed the Xeno Alliance's leader on my scanners, XA-Cobra. I quickly realized I barged into some sort of meeting between the two as Cobra was very keen on getting me to evacuate the vicinity, but I did manage to catch a glimpse of the hostile vessel I initially spotted and I could successfully identify it as a Xeno affiliated Liberty battlecuiser.
I set my course to Cochrane and cruised as fast as my bomber allowed, but Cobra was on my tail and there was no shaking him. Guiding him to the base was not an option so I slowly made a natural-seeming turn towards the Colorado jumphole and I almost managed to make it there using the asteroids as cover but the countless cruise disruption missiles fired at me by the Xeno eventually found their mark.
During my engagement with him, the FRS Roanoke re-appeared on my scanners, possibly curious to see the outcome of our fight. An exciting fact for me as I knew this would be my chance to approach the battlecruiser in hopes of getting some proper scans. Slowly but surely I was making my way towards the capital ship, employing various tactics in my turning and afterburner usage to ensure that neither of my opponents would understand that my focus was not the ongoing engagement, but closing the distance to the battlecruiser so my inferior sensor's scanning range can finally get a good glimpse of that ship.
After considerable effort, I got the scans I so required before succumbing to Cobra. Thankfully, rescue crews from Cochrane got me back home in one peace. The same cannot be said for my Transgressor, which needs substantial repairs before being combat-ready.
Upon examining the scans I got, it would seem like the Xeno battlecruiser is most likely of Insurgency origin, provided its equipment. I advise cautious further investigation on the matter.
