Patrol of Omega 5 with Lt Space picked up a large train, Com ID Herr_RaumHandler_II carrying passengers.
Train was requested to unload 20 passengers.

Pilot refused to release passengers and was disrupted from cruise in Omega 41. Corsairs caused some damage before the ship regained cruise.
Train was persued to Omicron Theta, where it docked at Corfu station.

Herr_RaumHandler_II disappeared from scopes and a new contact, [AFH]_Capt.Dusseldorf appeared on long range scanners in Unknown. A challenge was received over com and our combat group moved to Omicron Gamma to intercept.

Nomad Battleship [AFH]_Capt.Dusseldorf was encountered and engaged.

Moderate damage was being inflicted by both sides when the Nomad managed to make Cruise in the asteroid field. Unfortunately the Argumentor's Cruise Disruptor missiles were depleted.

The Nomad had some difficulties navigating through the asteroids and was repeatedly attacked.

A strange effect was observed after the Nomad had been significantly damaged. The ship would repeatedly vanish from radar and became very difficult to target, jumping around on scanners in a very unusual way.

Eventually the Nomad managed to break free of the asteroids and made for planet Crete.
A tight band message was received, requesting something called a "PvP one on one" or some such nonsense.

Our battlegroup moved to engage. We encountered the Nomad vessel emerging from dock on Crete, where it was immediately engaged.
Once again damage was inflicted by both sides. The Nomad repeatedly repeated the previous request.
I offered to call in Commodore Morkis in return.

The Nomad again docked at Crete, returning with a different weapons loadout. Again it was engaged in combat, damaged and again docked.

By now, we were becoming somewhat discouraged by our Corsair allies apparent acceptance of the Nomad intruder.

Argumentor made for Tripoli station and called in the Antarg.

Assault Frigate Antarg arrived in Omicron Gamma and joined Space in blockade above Crete.

The Nomad ship at that point disappeared from scopes and Herr_RaumHandler_II reappeared on scopes.

Commodore Morkis awarded a field promotion on Lieutenant Space(acting Lieutenant Commander) and the appropriate bonus to go with it.

The Commodore also has requested Herr_RaumHandler_II and [AFH]_Capt.Dusseldorf be placed on the KoS listing. In the absence of high command, it is assumed this will be acted upon.
