SECURITY ALERT!!!!

My fellow Phoenix's, we have had out first encounter with a new group of Bounty Hunters with the tag WHB. They referred to themselves as some kind of 'Brigade'.
Unfortunately, the visual tactical data collected by the (\^/)Royal.Flush was lost in the panic, but I will try to relay the exchange as best I can in the following report.

The Flush was approaching the Zeta jump-hole in Mu, when a fleet of 4 Bounty Hunter ships suddenly appeared in the minefield. They hailed our ship with intentions that seemed less than friendly, but with nowhere to run we were forced to stop and open communication channels with their lead vessel. It should be noted that their was a Osiris class battleship as well as 2 bombers that retreated to Akabat when I alerted them as to the presence. I'm not certain if I facilitated a retreat or if they were just plain scared, but they withdrew all the same.

The Hunters claimed to be interested in our group and asked why I was in a so called 'terrorist' system. I told them it was the only place in this Quadrant of space to obtain basic base commodity's and invited them to set up an outpost where such materials and supply could be purchased. They seemed to at least understand our right to have these supply's as well as our basic right to exist. They also had very detailed knowledge of incidents related to the 'Omicroners' demise which led me to believe they may have elements of that same group of hunters involved in the destruction of those poor souls.

2 snubs were dispatched to escort me out of the system and back to PSP. They seemed very interested in it location, and its defensive capabilities. After they had made scans of the base they promptly departed, leaving me with chills up my spine.

Its hard to relay here the exact tone of this encounter, but I must say we were defiantly being sized up. Its no secret that we are allied with the Order and I'm sure you all know that Bounty Hunters don't need much justification to make new enemy's and I feel this wont be the last we see of this 'Brigade'.

Stay on your Toes Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a feeling the Omicrons are about to heat up fast. We need to be prepared......
