Well, I have wanted to get some time to make a report for several days and finally I had some downtime. With our shakedown complete and everything in tip-top shape, we will now begin to move towards reports of enemy activity to investigate what we can.

First things first, several days ago we contacted a Zoner group known as the Genesis Research Group. They are based out of Pennsylvania and we managed to purchase and have installed a Jump Drive. It took a few days to properly setup and calibrate it to our power systems but they have become more module in recent years so adapting it was easy for my engineering team.

Looks like we are spending a few days off, moored up at the Liberty Universal base in Magellan. Delivery of the Jump Drive was taken there and they are quite accommodating to us during our downtime, hopefully things don't take too long. This has also helped us find a power transfer issue in our auxiliary power system that was easily corrected.



It is a nice change being back near Liberty again, bring back memories. I did fly a handful of patrols in this area so I know my way around it quite well, maybe some parts further out are working looking at later.

Well, today was quite the eventful day. Almost 2 days after our refit in Magellan was completed, we received a emergency comm from Omicron Delta of being under assault by a Nomad strike force. This caused for a viable test of newly installed Jump Drive. We made a successful jump back to Delta and engaged the enemy ships.

Visual Log of Engagement

Fortunately we managed to get there in time and help to defeat the intruders, keeping the Freeport safe and other nearby bases from assault. The force we helped to defeat was not large so I imagine this may just be the start of something more. Reports received from surrounding systems have made it clear that their attacks have been getting more bold lately so we must remain vigilant. On a more positive note, we also managed to drag in some shreds of remains of the ships we destroyed. This was hard to do correctly, so I am going to order Waxford and his team to come up with some more efficient ways of grabbing any sort of alien junk we come across, if possible.

This major victory caused a substantial boost to morale among the crew, one of the first of many victories I hope.

Even in this short amount of time, I have seen first hand what the Nomad are openly capable of. In my time with Liberty I saw very little action against them, but the threat we face, especially beyond House borders is much more severe and its my opinion that if we do not strike them beyond the major territories, they may be able to cause extensive destruction in more populated areas. After our first few skirmishes with the Nomads, the majority of my crew has even stronger conviction of our mission.
