We have recently lost contact with our reconnaisance satellites in the Omicron Minor system which were launched two weeks ago. Several days ago the unexpected ion storm disabled the satellites. That's why we had to investigate what happened in Omicron Minor. Since the satellites' post-storm auto-reactivation mechanisms failed, the chances were high that something had happened there. We only managed to get several images before the contact was lost, but those images indicated large Nomad presence in the system.
Investigating it was our primary objective.
The specialists from the RD&A claimed that larger ion storms like the one we had had a week ago may also have led to the destabilisation of several jump holes in the Omicrons. It means that several jump holes may have collapsed, some other jump holes may have changed the exit points. There is also the possibility of finding new jump holes. That is another reason why it was been decided to launch that operation. Finding the new routes and exploring the Omicrons was our secondary objective.
That mission was classified as high-risk assignment, therefore we had to gather a team, since there was a possibility of encountering the Nomads or Order forces. All units that took part in the operation are listed below.
Larger vessels:
LSF Siege Cruiser "Whisper of Destiny" - the command vessel
LSF Gunboat "Glacier Bay" - fire-support vessel
It was discovered that the Order forces in the Omicron Minor system had been wiped out and the system itself was been abandonned by the remaining Order operatives shortly afterwards. Most of the Order vessels had been destroyed, and the wrecks were still present in the newly-formed lava asteroid field around the devastated planet Toledo. Althogh most of the vessels were destroyed beyond repair, survivors were detected on one of the Order gunboats. The recon party just left the Glacier Bay when some of the Order survivors appeared in the area.
All the data (including guncams and records) regarding the operation is currently being analysed by our specialists and will be released at a later date or marked as "Classified" and put in the archives.
