⧫ ENCRYPTION: Order-EC[L] Patrol Report
On a routine patrol through the Sigma's and Rheinland space a housewide alert notified all present that the Liberty Navy was attacking Altona Station in the Hamburg system. I decided to investigate, using our cloaking technology to stay out of sight and monitor the situation. The Rheinland military chased the attackers to the Hudson system where cultists, nomads and Liberty capital ships were waiting for them. A quick scan of the Liberty vessels confirmed that at least one, a dreadnought no less, was sporting a full arsenal of nomad weaponry and several nomad power cores. As Nomads and their technology were now involved, I revealed my vessel and notified the Rheinland fleet that I would assist them against the nomad threat. They agreed but requested I leave after the threat was dealt with, a favor I had no problem agreeing to.
After several Nomad vessels were destroyed I turned my attention to the Liberty capital ship; several of the Liberty Navy that were present had realized their CO might be infected and started firing on the ship as well. Unfortunately the dreadnought eventually managed to land a direct hit, resulting in me having to retreat in an escape pod.
Liberty capital ships suddenly using Nomad weaponry and having Nomad power cores is a concerning development, I suspect the Core might be to blame with their shipments.
Either that, or something far worse...
