A number of Siege Cruisers were called off of patrol today to assist in the defense of New London from one of it's more recent hostile incursions. Today's assault brought with them what appeared to be a Nomad-tech covered asteroid in an eccentric orbit above Planet New London. Mining operations to strip it of it's strange composite materials were underway upon our arrival-- and once we'd fended off a number of Nomad vessels protecting this unknown object (in addition to doing some bowling), The Naples, The Presque Isle, and The Grand Forks all managed to appropriate some materials from the occasion, and we all made our way back to Willard to drop off the materials for study. Attached are the partial manifests from today.
