The Sigma-15 Installation:
Sometime ago, I charted majority of the Sigma-15 system, choosing to avoid the nebula without a wingman. Thankfully Schattenwolf joined me for this trip and we ventured inside, I suppose my suspicions were well-placed, for indeed there was an Outpost maintained by the Corsairs within the nebula. Probably a resupply or drop-off point between their raids. There was nothing else worth noting about the installation.
The Sigma-21 Encounter:
The moment we jumped into Sigma-21, I knew something was wrong. There were distant EM readings on the eastern-most part of the Mekong Cloud.
Back in my days of flying for the Core, we'd know trouble was coming for us whenever such readings began to become noticeable. As such, most of us were trained to avoid the signals when scouting near systems in the Omicrons. With Schattenwolf's discretion, we went directly towards the readings however, and stumbled upon a base, enclosed by a minefield akin to the one we have wrapped around Schatten. Seconds after we came within range, a wing of Kusarian ships fired upon us, all of them using nomadic weaponry. We fought them off and bugged out before more could arrive. I was only able to see brief silhouette of the station, but it's definitely not human in origin...
