While en route to Reunion from Nime I encountered a cruiser of an unknown configuration outside Reunion. The ship was broadcasting the name "Nekure." The captain, a man by the last name of Gray, informed me they were former members, now fugitives, of The Order. He also conveyed that they were waiting for escort into Council space by the SMP so as to find treatment for an injured crew member.
Considering their firepower and desperation, I felt it would be unwise to deny them. But knowing their desperation I felt I could get something out of them. I offered improved medical care in exchange for information about the Nomads. Considering some of the recent events we know of in Sirius I considered any information I could gather on this subject to be very valuable. Captain Grey transmitted the following data:
[font=Arial Narrow][color=#000000]The Nomads are organic guardians left behind by an ancient alien civilization. Over thousands of years, Nomads evolved into well-organized beings, forming a civilization on their own. However, the evolution could not eliminate predatory instincts and aggressiveness of this race. Nomads treat all other species, except for their former masters, as hostile.
It wasn't much, but I felt it opened the door for more and it was more than we had before. It was not long after that Colonel Loup arrived and then Commander Calixte of the SMP. We then convinced them that Nimes would be the best place to moor at and get the best treatment and proceeded there. This will also keep them from entering Gallia proper where the ship could be captured by the GRN or engaged by various unlawful forces. I suggested to the Colonel that he keep an eye on the Nekure to make sure they did not venture far from Nimes.
While the Nekure is docked at Nimes I recommend we gather as much information about it as possible. While I was conversing with Captain Gray I was picking up some unusual energy reading from his ship, suggesting technology unlike that we have encountered before. If possible, we should try and get some of our people on board, after we run every passive scan available of course.
I am currently on Reunion fulfilling previous duties, after which I shall return to Nimes to personally oversee the situation and see if I can garner any more information from Captain Gray.
I am including with this transmission full sensor logs of the event.
Richelieu Out.
