As you may have noticed, in recent weeks there has been increased activity of Nomads and their acolytes in the Omicron Delta, wreaking havoc on the infrastructure of various groups, which is not unusual if you're used to seeing Nomad battleships working in cooperation with human ships.
Of most interest is this transmission. The Infected seem to be interested in the source of the iridium, but instead of working quietly, they use terrorist methods that immediately reveal their cards.
They want to take over the iridium market and control its exports, apparently to lick their wounds after defeat and strike with renewed vigor, rebuild their fleet. We're not going to bow down before them, but obviously not everyone does. We need to stop the infection spreading, put out the hearth of the fire before it becomes a conflagration.
It's unlikely we can stop them on our own, we will need your help. Together we will crush them, for the sake of humanity.

Good day, Burton.
As you probably have noticed, The Eclipse Vanguard have been involved in heavy fighting against the enemy in Omicron Delta in the last few days. We don't need any additional prompts and are already on the front lines.
Can you provide any additional, more than circumstantial evidence that this "Hornisse" is an actual Nomad-controlled mouthpiece for the Infected and Nomad assaults in the system? Do you have any idea what vessel or station the signal came from? To what end could the infected and Nomads try to enforce trade and market regulations - it would seem very out of character for the Aliens to force station owners to both increase the profits of the human miners and lower the price of the end product. Cheaper and more abundant Iridium at capped prices will lead to an increase of supply to the Houses, faster capital vessel armour production and strengthening of the human position at the expense of the Nomads.
Are you absolutely certain we are not simply looking at an opportunistic Iridium Miner and Merchant attempting to take advantage of the situation by implying a connection with the alien attacks?
Name:Thaan "Doom" Naxxan Recipient: Christian Burton Subject:Doubts Greetings, pilot and sorry for my late reply, but it seems Liutenant Commander - Blue Haxton beat me to it. I am Admiral Doom, the leader of the Eclipse Vanguard, a newly formed Order organization. We, the Eclipse Vanguard - already had several brawls with the subjects you are pointing at, we fought them in different locations in Omicron Delta and then a few times near the rock formation of Freeport 11.
Several days later in Omicron Mu during an interrogation of an AI “Cruiser” vessel, we were assaulted by a massive fleet of Nomads/Infected - they came out of nowhere, completely unexpected. With all this information and our encounters with them, we already know what is happening and we do what we can to push them back. Several of our indie pilots are currently MIA, but the large proportion of us, managed to gather at our headquarters for repairs. However, I doubt we can win this battle if we are scattered like a scared flock of birds, but I do believe if we unite, we will have a bigger chance of defeating them!
It's a pleasure to meet you gentlemen. I understand this is the first communication between our groups, so let me briefly represent myself. My name is Christian Burton, leader of the Phoenix. If you ever need help from the Zoners, you can always rely on us.
As for the events taking the place - I don't believe in coincidence, especially in the Omicron region. My pilots have repeatedly reported Namad cooperation with humans in numerous siege bases in close proximity to Athens and Freeport 11. You can document this for yourself, although Mr. Naxxan had already provided some evidence.. In any case, I felt the need to report that evil is awakening and trying to gain strength. Given our long standing alliance with the Order, we are not engaging in empty talk and are indeed taking the threat seriously.
Name:Thaan "Doom" Naxxan Recipient: Christian Burton Subject:Doubts It is nice to meet you Captain Burton - leader of the Phoenix. It seems you and I have something in common after all - we are both leaders of formidable organizations. The friendly terms between The Order and The Zoners have been existing for more than decades in my books. The fact is already standing infront of you, even without you reaching to us, we already came to aid The Zoners in terms of stopping the Nomad infestating threat, which endangers ALL Omicron systems and humanity itself. However, we as well have something to protect, so I am expecting the same from you and your fellow Zoners IF we ever have the times of need in similar action. We as a group are loyal to those who are loyal to us, that is our motto, that is how we roll.
