One of the essential studies of Nomad technology was on their energy production and energy cells. A new research base was built in the Omicron-100 system far outside normal system traffic. The Carthage was stationed away from the eyes of their enemies as well as their own agents. There, an Osiris class battleship with increased cargo room for laboratories and scientific tools was prepared.

The sole [[Horus-class]] Super Dreadnought of the [[Order]], Thebes is a state-of-the-art warship meant to serve as a mobile headquarters where the Osiris' hull and armament would prove insufficient to tip the odds of any conflict to The Order's favour. Fortuitously for the Omicron organization, its production was safely cloistered away until the vessel's unveiling. As the [[Core]] pushed for the final confrontation over [[Toledo]], the Thebes achieved full combat readiness and was prepared prematurely for deployment before construction could have been finished and tests run. Arriving late to the Battle of [[Omicron Minor]], encountering Nomads assaulting both fleets alike; The Order Overwatch ordered the evacuation of all personnel from Toledo and a full retreat to [[Omicron Epsilon]].
 
 
Instead of building a fleet of Osiris class battleships to defend Minor and the rest of Sirius against the Nomads, High Command ordered the construction of a new gigantic Order dreadnought class ship.
 
 
 
This new Horus class ship with the name Thebes would be a fortress and serve as deep space outpost, shipyard, and battleship at the same time, planned to be a mobile base of operations in case of an emergency.
 
 
 
In the following years massive resources were directed into the shipyard. Slowly, the behemoth grew in the depths of the shipyard. The Thebes' security was increased, a fleet of 1 carrier and 4 reseph cruisers as well as 2 fighter squadrons were staioned near it. With the research of the reseph jamming devices, a large, long range jammer satellite was built to hide the shipyard from all long range scans. The Guard patrols had orders to keep every ship without the right ID code away even if it was an Order agent.
 
 
 
In 816 A.S., Nomad activities started to increase in the Omicrons as well as the threat of an ever increasing Core presence. After long discussions held behind closed doors, High Command decided to move Thebes to top priority and focus completely on its completion. With the new resources, the Thebes was finished faster than ever imagined.
 
 
 
The primary fleet sacrificed scheduled maintenance and retrofits in order to finish the construction faster. Still no one really had a solution to the biggest problem: How to move such a massive ship?
 
 
 
A young scientist found the key to move Thebes finally. By using the same algorithms of the Nomad energy cell, he managed to alter the power waves to give life to Thebes' engines.
 
  
There were no field tests to be done as almost days after the initial construction was completed, a massive Nomad fleet was spotted in Delta, on a course headed directly to Minor. The Order fleet tried to hold the aliens at bay in Delta but couldn't manage to resist against such a fleet, especially when the Core fleet used this conflict as a chance to strike Omicron Minor while the defenses were weak.
+
The Thebes was on the other hand ordered to commence an emergency jump to [[Omicron Mu]] - a previously charted system known to be capable of sustaining human life. The untested jumpdrive broke down upon arrival, leaving the Thebes drifting at the arrival point. After many survivors from Toledo were unloaded onto the newly discovered [[Akabat]], the Thebes was moored at a special drydock in [[Omicron Mu]] and tirelessly worked upon. With it finally combat ready again, it is considered to some amongst the organization as the "anchor" of the system, and a source of pride among its crews, technicians, and onlookers.
  
The battle was bloody and the Order had to accept the defeat and retreat.

Swiftly, the transport and rescue ships moved away everything they could from the Order's home base, giving priority to women and children. Order ships fled towards Omicron-100, where damaged and retreated Order ships managed to set up a second defensive line.
 
 
 
Quickly the Order command ordered the Thebes out of the dry dock. All transports and some damaged warships docked with Thebes while the rest of the Order fleet covered the jump. Thebes then initiated the jump sequence to a previously uncharted, newly found star system, Omicron Mu.
 
 
 
Omicron Mu turned out to be the Thebes' and the Order's last stop as no field testing had been completed, and no one foresaw the outburst of energy that erupted from the engines, causing Thebes to lose its ability to move after a short while in Omicron Mu, rendering the ship incapable of using its engines ever again. Thebes is now the operations base of the Order in their new home, Omicron Mu.

The sole Horus-class Super Dreadnought of the Order, Thebes is a state-of-the-art warship meant to serve as a mobile headquarters where the Osiris' hull and armament would prove insufficient to tip the odds of any conflict to The Order's favour. Fortuitously for the Omicron organization, its production was safely cloistered away until the vessel's unveiling. As the Core pushed for the final confrontation over Toledo, the Thebes achieved full combat readiness and was prepared prematurely for deployment before construction could have been finished and tests run. Arriving late to the Battle of Omicron Minor, encountering Nomads assaulting both fleets alike; The Order Overwatch ordered the evacuation of all personnel from Toledo and a full retreat to Omicron Epsilon.

The Thebes was on the other hand ordered to commence an emergency jump to Omicron Mu - a previously charted system known to be capable of sustaining human life. The untested jumpdrive broke down upon arrival, leaving the Thebes drifting at the arrival point. After many survivors from Toledo were unloaded onto the newly discovered Akabat, the Thebes was moored at a special drydock in Omicron Mu and tirelessly worked upon. With it finally combat ready again, it is considered to some amongst the organization as the "anchor" of the system, and a source of pride among its crews, technicians, and onlookers.
