The crew is in quite a good mood today.

Just earlier we concluded a retaliatory strike made in Omicron Minor. Several reports were coming in over the past week of a number of attacks against passing ships. We decided to make our presence there and stop this menace.



Using our cloaking system, we spotted a group of Nomad ships trying to move to another area of the system when we attacked. They were caught quite off-guard and were unable to fight back well enough to cause much damage to the ship. Over half of the Nomad ships were terminated while the rest retreated. This counts as a major victory for us, hopefully they will get the message that we are here to stay.

Over the next few days, our science team examined the system to fully understand it's inner workings and to make sure it was fully operational within our requirements. We wanted to conduct some controlled tests but at the same time did not want to affect nearby civilian systems as we were not sure of any sort of anomalous effects it may have. After speaking with my officers, we decided that tests in a remote system would be best for the time being. I chose Omega 11 as a good place to start, considering its overall desolate nature.



This proved to be a very good choice as the increased radiation had some unexpected effects on the Phoenix sensor system. It seems that the higher background radiation somewhat increased effectiveness on it, as it's power readings went up very high not long after we fired it up for testing. This was not the case on the initial test conducted after installation. Apparently due to the hybrid detection waves used by the "Phoenix Array" as we have called it, it becomes much more intense after being exposed to higher levels of solar radiation.
