01. Apr. 829

As expected, the Gauls reached out to the Order for assistance with the deployment of their new "inhibitors." With permission from command, the Unto Nightfall was deployed to Issoudon Shipyard, the site of the initial deployment, to observe and secure the area against Nomad attacks. We were joined by a squadron of fighters launched from the Amenta and the Aya.

As [REDACTED] and I anticipated, criminal elements from Gallia and Bretonia caught wind of the Gallic Navy's plans and conducted raids against the shipyard. I gave orders not to interfere with the senseless violence between the Gauls and terrorists. As expected, the inhibitors' deployment also attracted the attention of the local Nomads and we were quickly involved in heavy combat with a significant force of large alien warforms. Fortunately, the human forces were able to lay their differences aside - for the most part - and joined in the battle against the alien threat. Equally as fortunately, no Sentinels were detected. Had their advanced warforms been present, losses on our side would have likely been catastrophic. In their absence, however, our joint forces were able to fend off several waves of attacks.

Notably, the Nomads were joined by two infected human vessels: the GNS Talence, a Gallic battlecruiser, and the Ki'Shar, a Gallic battleship. Visuals and sensor analysis indicate that the latter has been heavily modified with K'haran augmentations. I myself have never seen a vessel hybridized to such an extent before. Perhaps the Overwatch databases will contain more detailed information on this vessel. The implications of two Gallic capital ships having fallen to Nomad infestation are very concerning.

Allied forces suffered repeated casualties; however, the proximity of Issoudon Shipyard allowed for rapid emergency repairs and redeployment of damaged vessels. The Unto Nightfall suffered moderate damage, primarily to the hull and weapons systems. While the Amenta has been able to provide necessary repairs to maintain operational readiness, the Nightfall will need to return to [REDACTED] soon for more extensive repairs and resupply.

The crew suffered four more fatalities, caused by a hull breach on the forward engineering decks. These brave men and women performed their duties valiantly and admirably and gave their lives in service to humanity. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten.

Ultimately, the battle was a victory. The Nomad forces were routed and the inhibitors successfully deployed. Order forces retreated from the shipyard before hostilities between the Gallic Navy and present criminal elements could reignite. What effect these prototype inhibitors will have on the local alien presence remains to be seen.

Hawkins, signing off.
