I have arrived at the Battleship Amenta. The Nomads patrolling this system are just as aggressive as the radiation currently clouding my ship; it is apparent how much the aliens wish to defend it.
There’s a strong electromagnetic field emanating from somewhere and it seems to be interfering with long range comms. I will provide an update when I can.

My meeting with the GNI agent on April 7th seemed to go well, and provided me with some new insights that will be helpful as I continue to operate here. While the GNI seem rather welcoming, I’ve been told that others groups within the great house won't be as hospitable. The Gallic Navy and the general populace are still expected to scrutinize my presence, so secrecy is still of the essence (not that I’d have it any other way). Fortunately, the Unione Course may be able to provide safe haven for me as I uncover what I can. They are supposedly not as opposed to working with The Order compared to the rest of Gallia. I hope to get into contact with them soon.
Early on April 9th, I began surveying possible locations of wild holdouts. So far, I’ve done a brief expedition into a few systems, and there are some locations of interest I will have to double back on. My findings so far can be found in the attached personal audio log.

The following is an audio log from the expedition on April 9th
The purpose of this expedition is to seek out possible infected and Nomad holdouts where further intelligence may be gathered.
Disclaimer: This list ignores the obvious stronghold of the Nomads, Tau-61.
Based on what the GNI agent has told me, I think Provence is an unlikely location for wild forces to reside. The Unione Course doesn’t take kindly to the aliens and are likely to hunt them down and eradicate them. That being said, the nebula within the system is immense, as is the case with many nebulae within the great house, and provides plenty of space to hide something. A couple of large asteroids fields within the system are in the same boat. These fields have been mined to depletion, so activity within them is not what it could be and could provide an opportunity to the aliens to stake a claim.
Champagne has a massive bluish-grey nebula with numerous small asteroids a bit deeper inside; it is very difficult to navigate. I didn’t get so far as 5 clicks within it before the debris started messing with my scanners. I will need to take a closer look at some point, but this does seem like a strong candidate to find wild forces. Perhaps a small asteroid base resides inside?
Ile-de-France seems an unlikely staging area for Nomad forces, given the gallic navy’s presence. Considering the possibility of the Gallic Navy being compromised by the Nomads, it should not be ruled out though. The massive nebula opposite New Paris would be an excellent location to hide a base, as would the two large asteroid fields flanking the planet on both sides. Perhaps a deep venture into these features could reveal something, although I am hesitant to go poking around their capital system at this time.
Languedoc has a few small nebula and asteroid fields to hide a base in. The density of the system may make it easy for patrols to find such outposts though. I think I can rule this system out.
Tau-23 is an area bustling with activity from multiple factions, and has been a well-known area for a long time. I doubt we would find anything relating to the Nomads there. The dense asteroid field throughout the system does make it easy to mask movements though.
I will continue to survey more of the systems of Gallia and the adjacent systems in the coming days.
