I am the captain of a research fleet operating within Deterrence. One of my pilots recently made some interesting discoveries during deep expeditions into the Omicrons and several uncharted worlds. I will include images of the findings in an attached report.
The vessel with the callsign "Costa_D_Raven" was on a scientific excursion in Omicron Pi, where the crew discovered what appears to be a Nomad Energy Cell. The pilot immediately secured the item and delivered it to the Deterrence Sanctum.
On the return trip, during a short stop at Ionia for supplies, the pilot was intercepted by two ships under the callsigns Noth-1 and Noth-15. They attempted to inspect the cargo, but the pilot managed to escape and reached Freeport 9 safely. After the area cleared, the artifact was successfully delivered to Sanctum.
On another mission into uncharted regions, the same vessel retrieved a highly valuable Containment Pod. Unfortunately, the pod was damaged and appears to be missing key components that would allow us to fully analyze it. The first delivery reached Sanctum without issue. However, during the latest expedition, where the crew located an additional pod that we hoped contained the missing parts, the ship was intercepted again by the same Noth pilots.
This time, the vessel and cargo were lost. Reinforcements arrived and managed to recover the pod, but they never reached Sanctum. We believe their ships were destroyed in a dark matter storm in Omega-58. At this point, the artifact is either lost or in enemy hands.
Fortunately, the crew ejected and was later rescued by Corsair forces responding to the distress call.
We hope that you and the Evia scientists can analyze the recovered items and determine their purpose — and how they might be used to strengthen our cause.
Once the rest of my research fleet arrives with additional cargo, I will provide further updates.
Until Than my regards.
