{BEGIN TRANSMISSION}
Reports of a large battle within the Tau-23 system have been confirmed shortly afterwards the skirmish. The miners of the IMG claimed they were attacked be unknown Bretonian and Libertonian elements, including cruisers and even a Liberty 'Overlord' dreadnaught. These forces were joined be smaller 'blue ships' that slowly increased in size and number until completely replacing the unknown warships. Jack Henderson of the IMG identified these as Slomon K'Hara forms, and a battle ensued. The IMG pilots were assisted by various freelance ships, the Kusari Naval Forces, the supposed 72nd Outcast Rebel fleet, and even the Gallic Royal Navy. The combined efforts of the allied elements, the K'Hara were forced to retreat, where they disappeared after leaving scanner range. Many casualties were claimed. Attached below is the communication over the event.
Jack Henderson will be sending a more in-depth report to the Overwatch soon.

[27.09.2016 18:28:04] Order|Phoenix: ?:"I just got reports of hostile...nonhuman activity in this sector. Is this accurate?"
[27.09.2016 18:28:19] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Anna: Indeed. A lot of it. We had severe losses on all sides.
[27.09.2016 18:28:38] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Miners, back to Java. Get the transports undocked.
[27.09.2016 18:28:58] Order|Phoenix: ?:"I see. And the parties involved in the conflict with the Others?"
[27.09.2016 18:29:22] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Anna: Wait, I will patch you through to a senior official.
[27.09.2016 18:29:47] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Jack: Greetings, Order pilot. This is Jack Henderson speaking. What can I do for you?
[27.09.2016 18:30:55] Order|Phoenix: ?:"Ah, quite nice to meet you. I got reports that there was severe human and non-human numbers in the system of Tau-23."
[27.09.2016 18:31:26] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Jack H.: Patching you into the convoy comms. They were eye witnesses.
[27.09.2016 18:32:13] IMG|Dark.Chocolate: The systems was attacked with a swarm of aliens... but we managed to survive
[27.09.2016 18:32:25] Order|Phoenix: ?:"Right. Do you know the parties involved?"
[27.09.2016 18:32:30] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Anna: Our losses were... 5 ships, I think.
[27.09.2016 18:32:42] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Yes. I saw Bretonian gunships. A lot.
[27.09.2016 18:32:57] IMG|Dark.Chocolate: Also Liberty Cruisers...
[27.09.2016 18:32:59] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: And what were these others?
[27.09.2016 18:33:15] Order|Phoenix: ?:"Bretonians and Libertonian warships? This far out?"
[27.09.2016 18:33:16] IMG|Tom:Marsh: Liberty Battlecruisers
[27.09.2016 18:33:25] IMG|Tom:Marsh: Was there a Liberty Dreadnought at one point?
[27.09.2016 18:33:29] IMG|Rock.Blender: And something huge and blue.
[27.09.2016 18:33:36] IMG|Dark.Chocolate: I even saw an "Overload" class Dreadnaught...
[27.09.2016 18:33:42] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Anna: I did not know those... but the large alien ships... they were the worst! The blue shiy ones.
[27.09.2016 18:33:47] IMG|Tom:Marsh: Alien ships of roughly gunboat size
[27.09.2016 18:33:54] IMG|Tom:Marsh: then of battleship size
[27.09.2016 18:33:59] Order|Phoenix: ?:"Large, translucent, and blue? So the Others were a part of the attack..."
[27.09.2016 18:34:09] IMG|Dark.Chocolate: Oh yeah.. Actually 3-4 of those Big arse ones...
[27.09.2016 18:34:24] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Yes! Huge! Like... large as a base.
[27.09.2016 18:34:46] IMG|Dark.Chocolate: With shiney stuff inside them..
[27.09.2016 18:34:53] IMG|Rock.Blender: I also saw this kind blue ships, but much smaller. In size of very heavy fighter.
[27.09.2016 18:35:11] Order|Phoenix: ?:"What you ran into was a battallion of Slomon K'Hara vessels. The Bretonian and Libertonian warships..."
[27.09.2016 18:35:12] IMG|Dark.Chocolate: oh yeah.. like 50 of them i guess...
[27.09.2016 18:35:13] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Anna: Yes, we had tons of those swarming all around the dense asteroid fields. Scary like... hell.
[27.09.2016 18:35:20] Order|Phoenix: ?:"Did they have identifiers on them?"
[27.09.2016 18:35:30] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Anna: I... did not scan.
[27.09.2016 18:35:53] IMG|Dark.Chocolate: We all were too busy defending our arse i guess...
[27.09.2016 18:35:53] IMG|Rock.Blender: They were too far for my scanner.
[27.09.2016 18:36:02] Order|Phoenix: ?:"But they fired upon the mining convoy, yes?"
[27.09.2016 18:36:14] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: I mean... the targetting named them... to Epsilon Black or so...
[27.09.2016 18:36:31] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: But... that's just automated.
[27.09.2016 18:36:31] IMG|Dark.Chocolate: Yes they did literally attack the mining operation inside the fields..
[27.09.2016 18:36:42] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Anna: Exactly. They targetted us!
[27.09.2016 18:36:56] Order|Phoenix: ?:"Were there identifiable vessels as well? Defenders?"
[27.09.2016 18:37:06] IMG|Dark.Chocolate: As far as my knowledge.. This has never happened before
[27.09.2016 18:37:11] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: On our side? Yes. Of course. We called all our allies.
[27.09.2016 18:37:16] Order|Phoenix: ?:"Agressors? Any Nomad Sympathizers? Outcasts?"
[27.09.2016 18:37:20] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: LIBERTY
[27.09.2016 18:37:35] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Anna: The 72nd helped us!
[27.09.2016 18:37:55] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Anna: Can you believe that? They were Outcasts, I can swear. They helped us fend them off.
[27.09.2016 18:38:07] IMG|Dark.Chocolate: Oh Yeah... There was a Maltese Battleship and a gunboat i guess...
[27.09.2016 18:38:24] IMG|Tom:Marsh: Kusari and Gallia got involved too
[27.09.2016 18:38:33] IMG|Rock.Blender: Kusari Cruiser and Battleship were aswell.
[27.09.2016 18:38:34] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Anna: And... from what I saw... there were no... Outcast attckers against us.
[27.09.2016 18:38:54] Order|Phoenix: ?:"The 72nd Maltese battlegroup...and Gallic and Kusarian elements?"
[27.09.2016 18:39:09] IMG|Dark.Chocolate: Yeah....
[27.09.2016 18:39:25] IMG|Tom:Marsh: Also some Freelancers
[27.09.2016 18:39:43] IMG|Dark.Chocolate: Lets not forget the Junker Gunboat as well..
[27.09.2016 18:39:58] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Anna: It's in the logs of the exploded miner... indeed!
[27.09.2016 18:40:25] Order|Phoenix: ?:"Seems everyone came to your aid. There were no...identifiable vessels, ID wise?
[27.09.2016 18:40:47] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: ID? You mean... KNF... and Auxesia...?
[27.09.2016 18:41:00] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Of course they can all be IDed by the guncam pictures and Java sensors.
[27.09.2016 18:41:18] Order|Phoenix: ?:"Battlegroup Auxesia? And they were assisting the convoy?"
[27.09.2016 18:41:33] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Mining operation. Yes. Definitely.
[27.09.2016 18:42:46] Order|Phoenix: ?:"And after the...skirmish...did the Guild members collect any...non-human remains?"
[27.09.2016 18:43:20] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Anna: Ehm... I... do not know. The GRN destroyed everything they said. IMG did S&R. Rescued like 40ish
[27.09.2016 18:43:30] IMG|Dark.Chocolate: Ohh ! I kept my hull clean of those strange things.. I do not know about the others
[27.09.2016 18:43:59] IMG|Dark.Chocolate: We cannot risk Java getting infected...
[27.09.2016 18:44:09] Order|Phoenix: ?:"I see. And this has been your first contact with the K'Hara elements?"
[27.09.2016 18:44:31] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Jack: Only the Pioneer and an Outcast vessel collected survivors. The Pioneer is under quarantine.
[27.09.2016 18:44:35] IMG|Tom:Marsh: We've been targetted before
[27.09.2016 18:44:41] IMG|Dark.Chocolate: Well... As per my experience.. They haven't been spotted in such large swarms in Tau23
[27.09.2016 18:44:51] IMG|Tom:Marsh: Though they didn't come into Tau-23
[27.09.2016 18:44:55] IMG|Tom:Marsh: (last time)
[27.09.2016 18:44:57] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Anna: Often... before. However not so much with large vessels...
[27.09.2016 18:45:05] Order|Phoenix: ?:"So this is the first time such size has been seen in the system in question?"
[27.09.2016 18:45:19] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: The size of the attack... yes. Was large.
[27.09.2016 18:45:22] IMG|Tom:Marsh: It's the first time such a huge number has been seen by me anywhere
[27.09.2016 18:45:46] IMG|Dark.Chocolate: Luckily they were picked up on the long range scanners..... Else Java was doomed...
[27.09.2016 18:46:04] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Anna: It looked bad... in the middle of it. I was on Java.
[27.09.2016 18:46:14] Order|Phoenix: ?:"Yes...you are all very fortunate."
[27.09.2016 18:46:40] Order|Phoenix: ?:"Anything out of the ordinary, save for these Maltese assistants?"
[27.09.2016 18:46:41] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Jack H: The Order will receive a full report of what happened once we have collected the material - as is standard.
[27.09.2016 18:47:58] Order|Phoenix: ?:"I have collected all I need for now. Thank you for your assistance in this matter."
[27.09.2016 18:49:51] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Jack: As I said, we will send you a report
[27.09.2016 18:50:40] Order|Phoenix: ?:"Very well. I just needed initial details over the incident. Thank you for your willingness to assist the Order in this."
[27.09.2016 18:50:42] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: We will also check all the shps for NOmad Material.
[27.09.2016 18:51:03] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: I am pretty sure that some tractored something. We would not want a danger for our operations there.
[27.09.2016 18:52:50] Order|Phoenix: ?:"Any discovery of non-human material should be quarentined and the Order informed."
[27.09.2016 18:54:13] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Jack: Yes. As usual, we will collect all of it and ship it to the Order.
[27.09.2016 18:58:27] IMG|Falling.Teardrop: Anyway, thank you for looking into the incident. Jack, off
