Atypical Nomad Activity

[Nadir]

This morning, the Honshu/Akita traders were being attacked by two Nomad vessels, a BS and fighter.

The vessels are tagged with a [B], with nonsense characters following. Destroyer Shikikan engaged the BS with reasonable success, until he ran for the Sigma 19 hole. At that point, I noticed a second [B] vessel entering Oita and then Hiroshima. The BS soon returned from Sigma 19, and they both engaged the Shikikan.

I was not able to hold off both vessels alone, so I docked at Akita and sent a system warning to all traders in Honshu.

I was also not able to verify the ID on these two vessels.

Suggest vigilance regarding any presence in Kusari by this new "group".

The Fool

Kusari Naval Forces are authorised to contact anyone available including nominally hostile factions, ships, pilots and commanders with assistance against a Nomad incursions into core systems. The Nomads represent a threat to the entire human race and regardless of anyone's current allegiances or political ties, a Nomad threat is a threat above all others. The Order and Black Squadron should take particular interest in abnormal Nomad activity. I ask, as a simple precaution to avoiding escalating current conflicts in Sirius, all parties called together to battle Nomad invasion forces leave the area without firing at one another and return to where they were. If that is not done, if we are not all united to face each and every Nomad threat, we risk discouraging attendance and fielding too weak a force to successfully repel the aliens. Nomads will not stop at the Houses of Sirius, they will exterminate all mankind if we give them a chance.
