(FO) The Order Central Communications (inRP)

[Jeremy Hunter]

Today is a victory...a pyrrhic victory.

Inquisitor Valkyrie led a contingent of fighters, supported by the battleship Talos, through a jump anomaly while the Oathkeeper engaged our Knightmare Drive and arrived in Omicron Major with the rest of the allied fleets...and at first I felt fear. But the Nomads didn't field as many heavy vessels as I thought, which proved the saving grace of the combined fleets...and I was quite shocked. The Rheinland Military deployed two Bismarck class battleships with fighter escorts, the Armed Forces the Dauntless with full fighter escort...the Kusari Naval Forces even deployed two Tokugawas. The Liberty Navy had a show of force, but their Atlantis, the Nevada, was forced to withdraw due to a fresh wave of Nomad defenders. The Liberty Navy was mostly wiped out, and we rescued all we could...

But even if we had over seven battleships there, we were nothing. Yes we managed to take out the generators...but we lost many. The Oathkeeper was cut off from the rest of our forces and as we entered Unknown alone, we were set upon by a swarm. We barely managed to get to familiar space - Liberty - intact. We sent off all rescued personnel towards West Point...and rendezvoused in the Sierra Ice Field with an ESRD pilot named Sentinel, one of the Liberty Navy pilots we thought lost. We talked briefly, but I can say with confidence that part of the Liberty Navy - not a large part - does in fact sympathize with the Order.

But I think what the Order really needs, is to discuss....this.

Upon entrance we deployed surveillance satellites to check everything as we engaged...and we saw this. Pauses I talked at length with my sisters, and based on the size and rumors, I speculate this could be the vessel that destroyed Toledo. We took all the scans we could, we did what we could...but if this thing ever becomes operational, we must be ready. If this thing ever flies again, we either destroy it...or die.

I recommend we begin gathering everything we have learned and prepare a dossier to give out to our allies at once. If we are to win, it will be through alliances and information, before warfare.

I have returned to Sabah Shipyard to coordinate Battlegroup Paladin, but if Nomadic activity again spikes, the Oathkeeper will leave the Atum in command and return to the Omicrons.

Admiral...Michal. Thebes must be ready. We must be ready. Or there will be no shelter from the storm.
