Well, this has been quite the day.
First the issues plaguing our Capital Ships, and now we're receiving reports that the Gallics have broken through into Sirius. Major Xu will detail that in a report.
As for myself, RECON Scanners reported something very odd in the Omicron Minor area. Or rather, it's what we DIDN'T detect that concerned me. I proceeded to prepare my new XKR Insurgent to scout the area. Needless to say, what we found more than concerned me.
Upon entering Delta, we proceeded to where the Omicron Minor Jumphole was and proceeded through. However, when we looked at the new system we were in, it certainly was not Minor. We had entered a new system, unknown to us. I ordered our task-force to scour the area and we found some Asteroids to the South-West and two Nebula's in the North-West and North-East. I scouted the North-East Nebula myself and I found a Jumphole guarded by what appeared to be two structures of Nomad origin. Needless to say, I pulled out as quickly as possible.
To the North-West we found the Jumphole to Minor, and at first everything seemed normal. Of course, the system was too quiet. Upon approaching Toledo, we realized that things were not alright. Not even close. Surrounding the planet were the wrecks of Order and Bounty Hunter Core ships alike. Even the Isis lay torn apart. We managed to meet up with a survivor, the OCV-Hyperion who was just as confused as we were to the fate of Toledo. At first we hypothesized that it was a Core Super weapon, but that seemed highly unlikely.
An LSF vessel appeared in the system, and called for aid. We used this opportunity to get the location of the Alaska Jumphole, since it appears to of moved locations. Knowing the location of Alaska could prove important if we decide to attack via that area. The LSF vessel returned to Alaska, so we flew with the Hyperion which brought us to the Omicron-100 system. The captain warned us that the automated defenses might still be active and we discovered they were.
We took the opportunity to scout the area, should the need ever arise where we would need to formulate an attack plan. We found their Shipyard which is the source of their capital ships. A sound strategic target should the need arise. Interestingly enough, the Hyperion's captain seemed shocked by a jumphole near Evora. Apparently it wasn't there before, and while the Hyperion remained in Omicron-100, it asked that we investigate.
We jumped into the system only to be greeted by a Minefield. I sent a general message throughout the system and were greeted rather coldly by the Order. I pressed them for information on the events that occurred in Minor and it turns out that it was the Nomads that destroyed the planet. Not only that, there were only a handful of survivors. The majority of the civilian population was wiped out.
The Order seem to of settled in a new system, one which they refer to as Omicron Mu. They also appear to be in possession of a new breed of Zoner Warship, a contradiction if there ever was any. Having discovered what exactly happened in the sector and finding out the new location and capabilities of the Order, I returned home.
