Nomad Incursion into New Tokyo
Around 22:00 SMT yesterday I attempted to respond to reports of a Nomad fleet attacking the New Tokyo system alongside Overwatch agent Valkyrie. I entered the system via the Honshu Jumphole and began my search for the enemy forces. Valkyrie followed behind a few minutes later. We attempted several times to broadcast a system-wide transmission to make contact with the Kusari forces and link up with them, but we received no long-range reply.
Eventually Valkyrie sighted the enemy near planet Fuji and we proceeded to enter combat and assist the defending Kusari pilots left alive. The Nomad fleet consisted of several capital class warforms, half a dozen at least including one seemingly infected Gallic Battleship ID'd as "Ki'shar", accompanied by several snubcraft class warforms. The defending fleet had lost all of its capital assets prior to our arrival leaving us only able to effectively attack the enemy snubcraft while evading the capital ship fire, this occurred with mixed results.
We had attempted several times to draw off the nomad fighters from their fleet long enough to eliminate them, only to have the capital vessels catch up, while the capital ship fire was largely ineffective at harming our fighters, it did prevent us from effectively harassing their fighters in return. I lost contact with Valkyrie during the battle, and determined that there was little we could do but die there pointlessly. After radioing my intent to withdraw to the last remaining Kusari pilots, some of us were able to safely retreat back through the Honshu Jumphole. Wordlessly going our separate ways, I decided take refuge on the Blood Dragon base Hikone nearby for repairs.
I have no information as to the intended goal of the Nomad incursion, or a detail list of the damage they inflicted. Attached are some visual and audio records of the engagement.
