Reconnaissance report
Greetings, everyone.
This is a shorter version of the official mission report filed with The Overwatch, but it contains pertinent information for all personnel, especially those who operate in Liberty.
Following the troubling report of Nomad activity in Cortez from Colonel Fischer, the Recon Cruiser O.C.V. Settra was tasked with joining O.C.V. Aleppo to reconnoitre an unknown system that may be a staging point for Nomad activity. The system is known to The Order, but due to heavy radiation, cannot be accurately mapped and scan data is often rendered unusable. The radiation interference proved to be too much for even the advanced sensors available on a Resheph cruiser, so we proceeded to carry out a more rudimentary sweep of the system. We encountered what appeared to be trade lanes of alien design that seemed to powered down as well as a partially damaged alien jump gate. The question of whether or not the jump gate was functional was answered by the arrival of callsign Omicron who joined us for the rest of the sweep.
While the existence of alien constructs in the system is a concern, there was no definitive proof that the system is actively being used as a staging point by the Nomads or their infected slaves. Upon completion of a visual check of the system, The Aleppo used its Mark IV Jump Drive to exfiltrate us from the system.
