Reconnaissance Report
Greetings esteemed agents,
I have an intriguing report to debate and allocate with our agents. Before proceeding further, I believe it's relevant to express that I didn't take part in the event I attached with the transmission. As the High Command may know, I have dispatched the Aleppo months ago to conduct reconnaissance missions, regardless of the location. It's well-armoured for any scenario, possessing the Order's high-technology for military and recon purposes. Its primary objective is to thoroughly investigate alien activity within the Sirius, alongside hostile actions that have a particular question regarding the Order. Now, the Colonel rank has opened me numerous possibilities to review matters I've always strived to scrutinise. Aleppo is likely one of my essential ships that might assist us with the issues mentioned earlier. Every so often, I receive 'Internal-Reports' from warships under my command that so clarify subjects of our interests, which seems to be the contemporary case. On the 25th of February 828 A.S. (today), while I was at the Cairo, O.C.V. Aleppo has transmitted me what appears to be a top priority internal reconnaissance report. The question is regarding heavy Nomad activity in the Independent Worlds - Cortez & Bretonia (we assume). The record itself is fairly detailed - therefore, It's unnecessary to describe it myself.

⧫ Title: Nomad Activity in Cortez - Several Parties involved
Aleppo's second-in-command squad is currently addressing the most recent incident - transpired in Cortez, an Independent World that borders Bretonia and Liberty. The Battleship has been inspecting the border worlds for suspicious activity for quite some time now. The secondary objective is to remain well-hidden from the eyes of any unwanted organisations and individuals, making it challenging to unveil unacceptable activities. As a result of having a highly qualified crew capable of executing the most challenging assignments, we've been able to allocate a first successful duty - unveiling dense alien activity in Cortez. To our surprise, we succeeded to identify unusual and relatively high Nomad activity. We made sure nobody could recognise our operation in case of an unwanted impact on diplomacy, revealing our attendance. Upon closer inspection of Cortez, our squadron was lucky enough to identify the earlier mentioned parties' activity in sector Esna 3/4. The highly advanced surveillance module OSD "ISIS" CDE-4 allowed us to compose a comprehensive report concerning the incident.
Upon arriving at the scene, we firstly identified a Xeno group composed of Bombers and Fighters, facing several heavy Nomad and potentially infested warforms. It certainly was of our interest to take action in the incident by assaulting hostiles. However, such a decision wasn't brilliant due to the influence of various groups such as the Insurgency and Auxesia, which we believed would support the Nomads (knowing for bold shreds of evidence that have indicated sympathetic relations between aliens and Auxesians). Mentioned groups brought sufficient amounts of heavy assets to take on the Nomads. Surprise occupied the majority of our mindsets, as we've seen the 'Nomad sympathisers' assaulting their 'companions.' The enigma has left us stranded for a reason, as there are no potentials of exiting such infestation wordlessly, notably without our knowledge. Hence, we do not trust what we've seen, knowing their enthusiasm to support the alien kind. It's worth noting that the known Nomad sympathisers possessed 'Hessian' technology. However, as the battle was happening in the background with Insurgency, Xenos and Auxesia, suddenly, a large Nomad warform uncloaked in surprise, immediately causing damage. Our crew noticed a seemingly infested repair ship supporting the alien cause as the Aux. was engaging it.
As the fight progressed, it was evident that the Nomads were suffering losses, as the organisations kept on coming in numbers. Aleppo didn't have the opportunity to witness the conflict's last bits due to the necessity to recharge its batteries. According to the transmission logs we've received from the local and system-wide comms, some aliens allegedly escaped to Bretonia. Our squad didn't fancy attempting to follow the aliens, as they possessed the technology to evade any pursuits. Therefore, we left the area to initiate a hyperspace breach towards Omicron Mu to receive necessary supplies for future reconnaissance assignments. It's imperative to transmit the transmission to Colonel Eliza Fischer immediately and congregate an essential quantity of supplies. Besides gathering the supplies, Aleppo must pass thorough examinations of the equipment for minor failures in components. Our crew believes it's worth to conduct further recon assignments in the independent worlds and examine the connectivity between the Nomads and our adversaries. We are awaiting supplementary guidance from our honourable Colonel. Aleppo is signing out.

As per their request, I believe it's reasonable to order further inquiries of the independent worlds while certainly having other relevant areas under focus. We haven't yet understood what's attracting the Nomads to Cortez, besides it perhaps being another type of aggressiveness. As you've seen, Aleppo hasn't revealed its cover for safety reasons to continue recon missions. Not to forget, it's still somewhat seeking for the signs of Aoi Kunieda, as Storgen said, is a potential infiltrator. The suspect might be present in the Inverness, knowing from the transmissions logs I've transferred between the subject in O-Kappa.
As I have nothing to add to the incident, I sent specific commands to Aleppo to pass immediate examinations of its equipment at Fort Carthage - hence, supply itself with the necessary accessories. While I am awaiting to manage a battlegroup, I'd like to use the free time to address my capital ships adequately. As for the Palmyra, it'll resume its regular duties to safeguard the Order from any hostilities. For the time being, it'd be useful to dispatch several unites to the independent worlds for the earlier mentioned reasons. Nomad influence is sometimes unpredictable. Thus we can expect anything, even a heavily reinforced alien presence.

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.

Destruction of infected vessel in New York
Greetings,
Today, together with members of the Order Black Squadron, we succesfully completed a mission to eliminate an infectee within the New York system.
Our operation began from Battleship Atum, where we were informed about the relative position of our target. Finishing the flight preparations quickly, we set off to the New York system. Passing through Colorado, no targets were found, but we encountered a Xeno fighter close to the jump hole to the New York system. After giving him a brief insight on what the Order strike group's mission was, we entered the New York system.
Shortly after, our target was located: a transport carrying a full load of explosives. Without much hesitation, we shot it down and retrieved the remains of the ship, alongside the cargo and crew.
Upon arrival back at Atum, the cargo was unloaded and moved into a special area of the battleship. If necessary, it can be transferred and hauled to Omicron Mu for research.

Greetings, esteemed command. An hour after the start of the investigation of alien activity in the Coronado system, we received interesting data. Based on the Colonial Republic pilots words, the terrorists known as the Auxesians were involved in cooperation with the Nomads. A package of evidence of this will be sent to you by the Colonial Republic representatives personally. Also, we captured the fact of cooperation between the Liberty Insurgency and the Auxesians. Both of them showed extreme hostility towards us, the representatives of the Republic and the 5th fleet of the Liberty Navy.
Photo evidence is attached to this report.

Patrol Report
Hola esteemed agents,
I am low on time, so I'll keep the report brief. A few days ago, there was an unusual encounter with the Omicron Zeta's infested forces, where before I arrived, several Corsairs with Taurus signatures had suffered losses. My endeavours to collect knowledge regarding the Corsairs and what their purpose was in Zeta was merely ineffective. Thus, unfortunately, I appeared late to the scene. However, the delayed appearance didn't prohibit me from discerning certain questionable activity, alongside some of the already-known Nomad sympathisers. The first insight was Jestak|Aoi (similar to CH-Jestak|Aoi), flying a Kusari Explorer - gunboat class. Upon scanning the subject, it possessed Nomad technology, comprised of a power cell. The brief review of the vessel stated it's infested. The doubtful subject was aiding RV-Pennybrooke - notorious for being presumed infested. Regardless, we're not close to the end, as I succeeded to disable two infected vessels who were supporting the Nomads against the Corsairs and my vessel - Fuji-5|Aoi & Unknown.Gold-7. Eventually, hostiles left me with two hostile gunboats and a mysterious Lynx-class vessel.
As for the Lynx-class vessel - Identification: Omer.Darche, our suspicious subject, might have covert connections with the RV-Pennybrooke, as it was flying conveniently somewhat close to the Nomad forces. I tried to inform the vessel regarding the Nomads, but it kept on neglecting my advice. The presence of a core mako-class battleship was unfortunate for me, as it also ignored the infested ships' company, seemingly protecting the subject 'from the Order.' My mindset already understands what this might be all about, as I'm more trained than some may suggest. The subject kept on promoting its confusing muddle with apparent lies that I exposed later. The vessel wasn't willing to disclose to me any information about its appearance and behaviour. I assume it might be a Gallic fugitive of some sort, and I believe it might be a Nomad sympathiser. For the time being, it'd be useful to contact the Gallic authorities regarding the ship in question, as they might be able to provide us with intel regarding the vessel. My high suspicion is reasonable, as I've seen it acting comfortably in the presence of Nomad war-forms, not keeping its distance or willing to assist.
Muchas Gracias for the attention. Agents, strictly observe our suspect and share any worthy intel with the Order.

Joint Operation
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
I'll start by saying that I just lost my leg, again. At least this time it was already a prosphetic replacement, but it was still annoying to see the rescue team detach it to get me out of the escape pod.. Anyway. As some of you may know, there was a joint scouting operation of Inverness with LIA and Crayter forces today in which myself and Lieutenant Lopez were involved in. After assembling our group of fighters and one gunboat, we began scouting Inverness as per our briefing. The Osiris "Naunet" jumped in system to our location and joined in. We took some scans of an Auxesian station called Valravn Citadel and some defensive weapon platforms when we were contacted by a Crayter capital ship called Delphinus. The Delphinus was being pursued and was disabled by at least seven Auxesian ships, primarily capital ships. Knowing that there was a fleet of capital ships that were in the system instilled a sense of urgency in us so we proceeded with our mission.
After skirting the nebula, we began to encounter Auxesian forces backed up by the Liberty Insurgency. This was my first encounter with the Insurgents and I'm guessing it won't be the last. Our group was split up when the Auxesians and Insurgency attacked, I remained with the Naunet and tried to stop the Auxesian bomber from attacking it, while an Auxesian Arbiter and Insurgent Battleship attacked the Naunet. Unfortunately, my fighter was destroyed by the Arbiter "Achlys" and my escape pod was damaged from what I believed to be an explosive weapon striking the nearby Naunet.
I'm typing this from a medical bed on the Atum and my head is still ringing, so this is by no means an official report, but from my perspective, there were some issues of communication between ourselves, the LIA lead and the Crayterians, but that is to be expected in joint operations with unfamiliar forces. It is also troubling to know that the Auxesians are allied with the Liberty Insurgency.
The doctor has just jabbed me with a sedative, so I guess I'll hit send before I pass out.
Transmission Recipient: ORDER OVERWATCH HC Subject: PATROL REPORT From: ENSIGN JASON VIGO Location: CAIRO STATION, OMICRON ZETA Priority Level: LOW Encryption Level: LOW
Greetings, Overwatch High Command.
Well... it's been a while since I've last reported. Glad to be flying for the Order once again.
Early into the morning of 3/31, I set out on a 3-ship patrol, led by Commander Desmond Bishop. Lieutenant Cosmo Christensen was also present. We did a sweep of Omicron Zeta, where we first encountered, to our surprise, a Gailic Royal Navy Battleship. Callsign [SGC]~Anubis. An eyebrow-raising sight to be sure, but they seemed to be assisting in destroying the Nomad presence in the system. The Captain was co-operative when we asked for the Nomad Remains in his cargo hold.
After this, we proceeded into the Chuuk Asteroid Field, where things got a little more interesting. Scanners detected a Core pilot flying alone in a heavy fighter, callsign Fat.Bastard. We intercepted, and Commander Bishop and Lieutenant Christensen were kind enough to stand by and let me do the... "honors".
It is not often you see Core pilots flying by themselves like that, in a situation where they'd be vulnerable. My two wingmen were fully expecting large doses of Core reinforcements to show up and give them some action, but no one ever came. My guess is this Core pilot was doing some kind of covert solo recon. What he could've been looking for is anyone's guess.
[31.03.2021 05:25:49] [31.03.2021 05:25:49] Core|Fat.Bastard: You pest...
[31.03.2021 05:25:56] Order|Jason.Vigo: Says you.

[31.03.2021 05:29:50] Order|Foxtrot: It seems the Core's training budget has gone to shit.

RECIPIENT: Overwatch HC FROM: Commander Maia SUBJECT: An interesting encounter, 15/4/828 PRIORITY: Low ENCRYPTION: High Greetings Overwatch,
I conducted my long range patrol from battleship Atum through all the Sirian houses. My mission took me through Kusari-Sigmas-Rheinland-Liberty, where I had a stop at Junker base in Texas, before I continued my patrol through the Liberty-Bretonia-Taus-Kusari to the Kyoto base in Chugoku.
I was flying high above the tradelanes and I was scanning ships that were passing by. There were signs of any suspicious activity on my patrol - just corporate or civilian vessels with few exceptions of local authority vessels that weren't able to intercept me.
The only interesting thing that happened to me on this long range patrol was an encounter with gallic vessel in New London designated as Jaguar-Noir. From what I've been told, he was from some semi-independent gallic organization known as "Corsicans". This is not up to me to decide, but perhaps rest of his organization could be useful for our operations in Gallia just in case our relations with gallic authorities will be as complicated as with sirian Houses.
On the plus side, they are at odds with Outcasts as we are and are not happy about alien encounters in their House as well. I'll attack logs at the end of this message as usual.
And just a side-note - our Phoenix neighbors requested Kemwer munitions for their own colony, so I took care of it. Agents Foxtrot, Jason Vigo and Morrigan were providing security detail of said transport operation.

RECIPIENT: Overwatch HC FROM: Commander Maia SUBJECT: Routine patrol and Kepler anomaly, 29/4/828 PRIORITY: Low ENCRYPTION: High Greetings Overwatch,
after our little through Kusari - Kepler and back, I've volunteered myself for another long range patrol. I've departed from Planet Akabat and took a long patrol through Omicrons, Omegas, Rheinland, Liberty, Kusari to the Kyoto Base. Most of my trip was uneventful and I haven't spotted anything suspicious during my patrol. Most locals were friendly, neutral or were ignoring me altogether.
Things started to look strange when I was on my way home through Kepler System. I recorded a footage of civilian vessel trapped within three anomalies. My recon fighter does not have any scientific equipment onboard, so footage is all I have. It was located within second quadrant of the Kepler System (North-West). Precise location was hard to record as my tiny fighter was bombarded by strong ionizing radiation.
The second strange encounter I've had was in the Shikoku System. For a brief moment, I've spotted strange nomad lifeform near Saiun Cloud. I haven't seen anything like that before and wasn't able to scan it, as my encounter with it was very brief before it disappeared. I've done few runs across the system, but I wasn't able to catch it again.
Cairo Station, Omicron Zeta "The Thunder Boss" - CO of auxillary fleet vessel OCV-RaA bold Expedition!
Today we made an incursion to Inverness.
And this is extremely troubling! The Auxesian are now openly allying with the Nomads!
OCV-Alexandria has come to assist us and we repelled the threat, both Auxesians and the Nomad have retreated but their hive proved much too tough for us and we have returned to Zeta.
