Directors

As you know Liberty has seen a very high increase in Nomad activity and as the LSF, it is our duty to understand why and act on it. I believe we are ready and the time to act has come. Please see the attached proposed operation plan files. If final approval is granted, this document will be made available to the chosen LSF personnel.

This proposal is the result of a great deal of intelligence and reconnaissance work, collected by both the Department of Research, Development and Analysis and the Department of Tactical Operations.

Background

Nomad encounters are becoming more and more frequent within Liberty Core space. The Liberty Security Force must take steps towards correcting this and uncovering the reason for these occurrences.

A possible reason for this is, which is worth investigating:

An Outcast vessel ( A ) was spotted recently which glowed with the same light and color as that of a Nomad vessel. The pilot of said ship showed signs of an infected human however, it was unlike any other on record. Data scans on ship ( A ) are somewhat consistent with that of LNS-Tundra. Where the two differ, is that fact that ship ( A ) showed normal communication methods whereas, Tundra’s communication method is more “Nomadic”.

It is known that the Outcasts see the Nomads as some kind of "Gods" and actively worship them. It is believed that the Outcasts share a unique relationship with the Nomads. We need to discover the exact nature of this relationship.

Ship ( A ) was flying under Outcast 101st colors so the most obvious place to find said ship is to go to Omicron Alpha.

Locations

Primary Activity: Omicron Alpha
Home base: Tau-37, Tau-23
Secondary: Omicron-85, Omicron Beta, Omicron 99

Goals

• To discover the nature of the relationship between the Outcasts and the Nomads.
  
• Update our data on the Outcast controlled systems as well as the Outcasts themselves.
  
• This includes visual intelligence such as gun cam shots, communication logs and full mapping of Outcast controlled systems.
  

Method

The LSF will utilize high stealth for this operation. When flying under LSF colors agents are ordered to use stealth and fly within the shadows. Official LSF vessels will not be permitted to fly without the CO present.

Undercover work will also be useful in order to obtain Outcast trust and intel. With that said every agent involved with this operation will not be allowed to participate without a freelancer ID'd vessel that is at least neutral to the Outcasts. These undercover vessels are to be Light fighters only.

Obtaining Outcast trust is essential to the success of this operation, with that in mind agents are cleared to participate in illegal activities. There restrictions to this order however. Agents will not:

• Directly fire on civilian vessels. (Shield damage and light hull damage are acceptable if completely necessary.)
  
• Engage in the consuption of any narcotics
  

Agents are under strict orders NOT TO ENGAGE ANY NOMAD VESSELS UNLESS IN SELF DEFENSE. Hostile actions towards the Nomads will certainly anger the Outcast and make any activity we wish to do, a great deal more difficult.

If compromised, operatives are ordered to return to friendly space immediately.

Cautions

• Overexposure to cardimine on planet Malta or any other Outcast outposts
  
• Damaged relations with parties in the area, such as Zoners, IMG and CR.
  
• Nomad infestation.
  

LSF Assets

• Mount Spurr - Siege Cruiser (Operational HQ)
  
• Chimera - VHF
  
• Phantom Squad - VHF wing
  
• Agent Manson - RD&A

I look forward to your reply.
