Several months after the Order's last successful operation against the Core in Omicron Zeta, Cairo has entered a heightened state of readiness due to increased suspected Nomad activity at the periphery of the Yap Edge Nebula. Rumors of Nomad movements within the houses have not gone unnoticed, and a suspected breakthrough of Nomad forces from desolate Pohnpei has been a growing concern for some time.
Following an ever-so-brief identification of a large Nomad entity in orbit of Saipan, a patrol wing sent to investigate its last known location picked up traces of a possible anomaly on the dark side of the planet. Once details were transmitted to Cairo, contact with the patrol wing was lost entirely except for a single fighter whose pilot claimed he had been drawn into the anomaly and "spit back out" by chance instead of meeting his doom. From his account, it was clear something large and dangerous waited on the other side.
After an extensive debrief, the Order High Command has initiated Operation "Anubis" - a large strike group with a limited objective - to find and destroy whatever threat lies hidden in Saipan's shadow and, if possible, to destroy the anomaly or what it contains. Beginning with fighter and bomber wing operations, it is hoped the way can be cleared for larger Order assets to approach Saipan successfully.
As more and more Order assets converge on Omicron Zeta, all other remnants of mankind in the system lock down to brace for the coming storm.

On February 6 at 18:00 UTC, a two-hour snub-only respawn event will occur in Omicron Major at Sector F2/3, G2/3 centered around a Nomad installation. Access will be provided by a jumphole near Saipan and jumphole in Iota. Participants are not to leave the combat zone once entered as there may be no way back.
On February 7, the Nomad installation will be made vulnerable, and Order forces will have three hours, from 18:00 UTC to 21:00 UTC, to destroy it. Respawns will be enabled during that time, and all ship classes for both sides may participate.
Date:
February 5th - February 7th
Rule changes:
For the duration of the event, Omicron Zeta will have a 30 minute death counter instead of 1 hour.
NOTES
This event is intended to spur activity in the region.
Exceptional performances by individual players will be recognized and rewarded.
Intentionally suicide/denying kills may have grave repercussions. Self-kills and teamkills will be tracked. You have been warned.
