With the war between Kusari and Rheinland settled down, the risk of exposure of the Order Operation in the system increased greatly. In order to prevent this from happening the time has come to move the newly christened Armageddon, finished thanks to the aid of the allies of the Order, into Order territory proper.
Due to the timely response Armageddon was able to traverse Sigma 21 and Sigma 59 undetected, meeting up with other Order and allied vessels along the way for protection. Nomad scouts however picked up on the fleets movements as it entered the Omicron Sigma system. With the jump hole to Omicron Mu nearby and a significant force on their doorstep, the hidden Nomad Lair in the system became a buzz with activity as the Nomad war forms move to intercept the human fleet.
A lone AI scout has noticed both fleets and investigates, should it be allowed to escape it will surely call in reinforcements and assault whichever fleet remains.
Objectives.
Allied Forces:
Defeat the most enemies. 3 points (as counted by how many waves won, not individual kills).
Defend the transporters carrying non-combatants. 4 points (2 points per transport that makes it through, two transports total).
Destroy the A.I. scout vessel before it flees and raises alarm. 3 points (0 points for either side if it successfully flees).
Nomad Forces:
Defeat the most enemies. 3 points (as counted by how many waves won, not individual kills).
Destroy the transports carrying non-combatants. 4 points (2 points per transport eliminated, two transports total).
Destroy the A.I. scout vessel before it flees and raises alarm. 3 points (0 points for either side if it successfully flees).
Event rules.
The event will consist of three waves, respawning is allowed as is repairing and restocking in-between waves. Note that server rules are still in effect; docking with a hostile around is still a nono, event or not.
As you may have noticed this event includes objectives as well as points for both sides, you may also have noticed the first post after this is reserved.
The point amount will decide who wins the event and to what degree.
A point majority indicates a victory and both sides having equal points a draw.
After the event the reserved post will be edited to reflect the outcome of the event and hint towards what may come next.
This means which (player made) follow up event occurs depends on the outcome of this event.
General rules.
Standard PvP rules apply. Registration is mandatory. Stay in the fight, no restocking (during waves), no running to hug solars, no running into the clouds or asteroid fields.
Equipment rules - no Dual novas bombers, no Cloaks, no NEMP (glorified flashbangs).

All Order, BD, IMG, Bundschuh, Coalition, Vagrant, K’hara IDs are eligible for registration, as well as their respective indies.
Other registrations are allowed as long as the ID's make sense but will be considered reserves to fill out the slots as needed.
