Well, that was certainly out of the ordinary. I was making my way back from Barrier Gate - I had heard good things about the entertainment venues, all lies or at the very least these people have low standards. My long range sensors picked up an explosion and my interest was certainly piqued. It turns out the Crayterians and two Order capital vessels had a certain purple menace knocking at the door of Yuma.
At first glance it would seem like a typical skirmish, but a few alien vessels were in possession of nomad power cells, their energy clearly emanating from the ships. I had heard rumors during my Ageira employment about those nefarious ne'er-do-wells running experiments but I was never able to confirm anything. For all I know it was the drunken ramblings of idiots craving attention from more gullible idiots.
I also took a flyby shot of one of the Nomadic gunships. They truly are an impressive sight.
Both sides suffered losses initially, but eventually the Nomads and their thralls were victorious, crippling an Order reconnaissance cruiser and forcing the retreat of the other capital ships. But, there was one bit of golden comedy.
A Liberty Navy battlecruiser wandered into range. Yes, let me repeat that, a Liberty Navy battlecruiser was in vicinity of the battle. I bet you can guess what happened to it next.
