Subject: After combat report
Minor has once again been subject to an attack by the Bounty Hunters Guild. A large force of bombers was detected and we suspect they intended to attack our capital ships while they were at anchor around Isis. Thankfully we were able to scamble fighters to intercept the enemy force and during the ensuing battle we destroyed two of the the hostile craft for the loss of one fighter before they broke and fled back towards Omicron Delta.
Attatched is the clearest guncam image I was able to capture of the identities of the attacking vessels.

Subject: Further confrontation with BHG
Although an Ion Storm has put a stop to the combat for now we are currently engaged with a single BHG fighter of considerable skill in Omicron Minor. For the past half hour he has been evading destruction from many Order vessels, even managing to claim one of our fighters.
I can see him in his cockpit now making obscene hand gestures at the Order vessels disabled by the ion storm. We will finish him off when the storm stops.

Subject: Recon and after action report.
Today we undertook a recon operation in Liberty space under the command of rear admiral D'Souza. Apart from a brief ion storm that put one of our flight out of action in New York, the operation went without a hitch until we were making our return to Minor through California.
What follows is the full report of events.
3. Flight splits up to cover more ground. Normal activity at all New York lawful installations.
4. Ion storm hits while on route to regroup at Rochester. After the storm dies down we are forced to continue without Ensign Sidorov as he had not reestablished contact.
5. Liberty Rogue gunboat is encountered on route to Colorado jump hole and is quickly dispatched.
13. When it becomes clear that they definately aren't buying our story, we preemptively engage the LSF vessels hoping to prevent them spreading word of our presence.
15. Once in Pennsylvania we split up to maximise our chances of escape. Admiral D'Souza takes refuge on the Zoners Bethlehem station while I head to the Xenos Milford base to lay low for a while with my brother who is stationed there. The fate of Ensign Duke is not known to me at this time.
I will return to Minor once I am sure that the LSF search effort has died down.

as of 0:30 AM on the 21st of April, Sirius Mean Time, the Gizeh received a call from on of our Ensigns,
who accompanied Admiral Robert D'Souza on his Recon Mission through Liberty.
It was Ensign Ensign Chris Leigh, who got lost somewhere in Pennsylvania due to an Ionstorm.
As the Gizeh was close to Alaska already, me and the crew decided to plot in the course to Juneau
and pick up the said Ensign.
When we reached our destination, we stopped our engines in safe distance to Juneau.
The Ensigns return got complicated by several LSF Agents.
Simultaneously, a Carrier jumped through the Gate and appeared right in front of us, the LNS Michigan.
Rather unimpressed we opened up a channel to the Michigan's command.
The Captain aboard the Carriers was quiet cooperative, but instantly told us, the Michigan would fire upon any ship,
that comes through the Gate, which was of course unacceptable.
The fact that Ensign Leigh reported us a LN Battlecruiser guarding the Gate on the New York side,
escorted by several more LSF Fighters and Bombers, put us in a lonely position.
I decided to contact the TCG, which have offered her help instantly.
I picked them up at the Isis and the Gizeh headed back to Juneau, along with now several TCG Ships, that escorted it.
When we repositioned near Juneau, I demanded the safe passage for our Agent.
Negotiations were starting and I insisted that they take place right in front of Juneau.
I now talked to Miss Wolfe, commanding Agent of the Libertonian Forces we faced.
Unfortunately we have not taken any GunCam Shots to illustrate the number of forces that showed up.
Well, to keep it short from now on, Leigh made it through the Gate without getting scratched and we returned to Minor.
I hereby would like to thank every TCG Pilot, who assisted us on Leigh's retrieval.

Subject: Infected Corsair pilot.
Today while escorting the OCV Sarcophagas to pick up its new commanding officer in Omega 49 we encountered a Corsair pilot who was unusually interested in our vessels and our purpose in the area. Despite warning to desist, the pilot continued to follow us even after we had picked up Ciana and begun our return to Order space. During our return, the pilot began to show signs of Nomad infection. We took the appropritate action and the vessel was destroyed.
On a different note, Rear Admiral D'Souza has made it back to Omicron Minor after the earlier recon operation with only a minor problem during the extraction operation.

Subject: Order carrier in Liberty space
I recently recieved a message from a contact in the Liberty Navy that an Order Geb carrier [designation Achilles] had been spotted in New York before moving to Texas where it was destroyed by Navy capital ships.
I have flown with this vessel before and before this the commanding officers conduct was quite good so I was very suprised to hear this news. Attatched are the guncam images my navy contact provided me with showing the carrier in Texas at the time of its destruction.
Alongside the OCV Sajuuk I also observed this same vessel violating the NFZ at freeport 11 although I was unable to capture guncam images of this incident and the provokation of BHG vessels may well have contributed to the commander opening fire.
The commander of this vessel has proved at least competant in the past and I know other members of the Primary Fleet are also suprised at the vessels recent behaivior.

Thanks for this material.
We will definately have to talk to the Achilles' captain then.
That is more than unaccaptable.
When I passed your cabine, I noticed you were already busy with your report about what we just saw in Newcastle.
Excellent job out there, Ensign.
Same goes for your coordination with that Preserver vessel, that guided us safely through New York.
Corporal Tryst, nothing else here, good work.

Subject: Nomad istallation in Newcastle
Today Captain Orley, Corporal Tryst and myself undertook an operation to investigate reports of a large Nomad structure in the Newcastle system. Our findings confirm the presence of such an istallation and bring to light a possibly monumental problem.
Our journey to Newcastle was mostly uneventful. It was interrupted briefly by ion storms but we made it to Newcaste without serious incident.
Once there it became instantly apparent that the reports were in fact correct as the installation is truly massive and visible from all over the system.
One we got in range of the installation we faced incresing numbers of Bretonia Armed Forces and Mollys fighters although they proved to be little threat.
As we got closer still it became clear that the central structure was protected by a powerful energy shield. We decided to test our weapons against the shield but they proved entirely ineffective. Not even the powerful DEFILERs mounted on my vessel could put a dent in them. The central structure bears a striking and worrying similarity to the large structure in Omicron Iota although I have not had the opportunity to examine that structure closely.
Once it had become clear that we could not penetrate the shield by conventional means we turned our attention to the surrounding platforms. Some were strikingly similar to the Nomad weapons platforms encountered in Omicron Iota.
While others seemed to be joined to the shield by streams of energy. One of these platforms had a BAF research station attatched to it. This raises the worrying possibility that the BAF have exposed themselves to Nomad infection. In addition to the research station, the BAF battleship Grimsby was stationed nearby although it made no attempt to directly stop us, instead launching waves of dated Crusader fighters to intercept us.
Additionally, there was a strange spherical object attached to the bottom of one of the inactive weapons platforms. We were unable to identify it but it was emitting unusually high power levels.
It was at this point that we realised the BAF had managed to get a satelite inside the energy shield protecting the central structure. How they managed to do this is a complete mystery.
In an attempt to get access to the satellite and the central structure we tried destroying what we assumed to be the shield generating platforms. Although the shields energy readings did fluctuate with the destruction of these platforms, the shield remained intact and inpenetrable.
After realising that we could not investigate any futher we destroyed all the remaining Nomad strctures and any BAF equipment that could be reached in an attempt to prevent them from becoming infected or mis-using Nomad technology.
In addition to this we captured several BAF pilots from the wreckage of their vessels. These prisoners have been transfered to the Isis and are awaiting interrogation. Hopefully they will be able to tell us more about what the BAF are doing at this installation.
The return to Omicron Minor through Liberty went without incident thanks to up to the minute intelligence provided by a contact within the Liberty Navy.
I also took the liberty of taking a video recording of the installation prior to us destroying the platforms which I will upload soon.

It seems the video data has become corrupted. The report will have to do without it.

Corporal Sadun Tryst
[color=#FFFFFF]Greetings to the Order High Command, yeah this structure means something
i think it means danger, i have never seen such a huge thing in crowded systems.
The fact that the BAF has an research station near the structure which, after
we destroyed the "generators" as we are thinking that they are kind of,
the Research station still gave energy to the shield that we can't got near.
My intel has never shown such energy!
But i cannot understand how this structure was not seen before,
you can see it from about 180k!!!!

Dear High Command, this is[color=#33FF33]Sadun Tryst Corporal , i only
wanted to inform you about the things which today happend,
don't be afraid, only a small briefing.
As i undocked from the Isis a now knowen as Corporal Agent
told me that two Secondery attacked him cause they said that he
is infected. Sgt. Wilkins gave me the order to bring them to him since they leaved
to Alaska.
I flew through nearly whole Alaska and met them near the Atum. Attached File1
The two agents: Fedor Karamazov and Jimenez de Ciscneros.
They denied to follow me to the Sgt. After the Sgt, arrived at my position and while
we are flewing the Nomad Battleship which uncloaked near us, the two started to ran away
and escaped to New York. Attached File 2
As i contacted them via private comms and told them to come back or be marked as KOS.
They told me they cant hear me clear because of statics....
As me and Sgt. Wilkins wanted to head back to Minor,
we received strange nomad signals. Rear Admiral D'Souza was just "talking" to them while me and the Seargent
fighted Navypatrols. They made clear that they wanted to have their ones which we got in cargo.
We started an experiment and dropped one by one to guide them to minor. Attached File 3
They started to be eager and started to give warning shots and to bump our ships.
We dropped the last nomads and executed them. The nomards wasnt happy about this
but they did not start do engage. Because of the influence of the suncorona we were
forced to head back to the Isis. I dropped the last Nomad Missiles and them left too.
