Hi, hello, can we (nomads) breathe down everyone's neck? We actually have a vested interest in Kusari coming out ahead on this given the state of KuWild and KOI, so artifact interdiction is not actually something we want to do, we don't need artifact bonuses or anything, but kills on the involved IDs for the purpose of catching and infecting an unlucky shipment would be nice.

Zeta being completely lost, tactically, while we cannot harass Mu directly because of the minefield, Delta, Minor, and especially the Tokelau cloud become pretty severe ambush points. Also, with a more blanket threat (because nomads are often not about to be talked out of or be bribed out of their target), you can use their presence as a more imposing reason to hire defenders and escorts.
