SUBJECT: Incident Report: Alaska, 18:22 SMT
ENCRYPTION: High
PRIORITY: High

Gents,
At approximately 18:00 hours sensors nets in Alaska detected the presence of an Order vessel designated OCV-Enceladus.

Shortly afterward I launched to investigate this occurrence and was joined by Agents Taam and Hedley.

The vessel was found to be of the Resheph class and its commander claimed to be harvesting nomads for study. I ordered the ship to leave, however its commander refused.

Shortly after this, an Osiris class vessel, the Ilirej arrived on scene and asked me to stand down as they meant no harm. This exchange occurred at approximately 10 klicks away. My own fighter craft was beset at the time by a large nomad patrol including a gunboat.

Agents Taam and Hedley vectored to assist. Now the commander of the Ilirej offered assistance in dealing with the nomad threat.

This at the time was the most practical option available to us, as the Avenger class Heavy Fighter is not exactly made to take on a Gunboat sized ship, let alone one of nomad origin. Granted that is my opinion on the subject.

The two Order vessels arrived and proceeded to deal with the threat, allowing us time to withdraw. The Captain of the Ilirej also gave me his word they would withdraw after dealing with the Nomads. I am inclined to give the Captain the benefit of the doubt. However I would like to request that we have some form of heavier firepower on standby in case this occurs again.

I believe I acted accordingly with the intention of preserving the lives of my wingmates and myself.

Guncam footage can be uploaded if requested by Command.
