Beginning of the patrol

Polizeidirektorin Laura Carsten and me, Detektiv Wolfram Kruppstahl, were on a regular patrol. Since the 11th Omega system is a dangerous zone, we decided to head there in order to check the situation. Present was a lone Freelancer in a Serinity class transport. According to the Freelancer, no suspicious activity has been sighted. We told the Freelancer to be careful in Omega-11 and to call us if he needs assistance.


Hessian ships at Planet Stuttgart

On the way back to New Berlin, our scanners caught a Daumann Heavy Construction vessel of which the transponders were set wrong (Interspace Commerce). Polizeidirektorin Carsten made me aware of a nearby hostile vessel. It turned out to be a Red Hessian RH-GM40 "Odin" Fighter. After using a few cruise disrupters, the Hessian finally stopped his ship. Polizeidirektorin asked the Hessian to surrender, but he refused. Instead, he spreaded propaganda.


The "Reclaimer"

Out of a sudden, a 042D "Bastet" Fighter of The Order appeared. It must have been using a cloaking device to get that near unnoticed. Even its entire loadout was very strange. Its pilot, Kate Miller, warned us against an upcoming Nomad armada. Polizeidirektorin Carsten told me that this could be a trick, as infected people use to lure people into traps. Frau Miller told us to warn our men and women. I suggested to cease fire for now, that way the Red Hessians and we, the Federal Polizei are able to warn each our people. Given that Order vessel uses suspicious technology, the Hessians as well as Carsten and me were sceptical.


The Stuttgart incident

Soon enough, an emergency call from Planet Stuttgart reached the Hessians and us. We knew that this is probably what Frau Miller tried to warn us against. Upon reaching Planet Stuttgart, I saw many Nomads, even very large ones. I've never seen this kind of Nomads before. Behind their armada, there was a large structure, an agent of the BDM called this "looking like a shrine". This "shrine" seemed to be the power source of these Nomads. Here is the guessed number of Nomad ships:

~5x* Nomads with the size of a Rheinland battleship
~15x* Nomads of the size of a Rheinland cruiser
~30x* Nomads of the size of a Rheinland gunboat
countless Nomads of the size of a fighter

*Remember these numbers are just guessed.

Fighting alongside the Buro der Marineintelligenz, Rheinwehr, Red Hessians, Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army, The Order and even The Vereinigte Widerstandsarmee, we managed to destroy the nomad armada and the "shrine", even with losses on our side. The "shrine"s explosion caused a blinding light and a shutdown of electronics. Luckily, we got the electronic back to work quickly. Polizeidirektorin and me survived, even if our ships do have many scratches.

Important note: There were even libertorian ships among the Nomad forces, fighting against humans.

Something gives me the feeling that this was just the beginning of something mankind should fear.

They have shown us the door to hell.
