The Nomad

"The war is over, we got the communique this morning. 27 past years, almost a thousand ravaged worlds and billions of dead is what it took to stop Humanity being erased from the Milky Way permanently. Was it worth it? Perhaps, but i suspect the struggle has only just begun.
The ripples made by our fabulous war with The Nomad and its slaves will be felt for as long as mankind breathes oxygen or craves violence. Our little colony escaped destruction by a hair's breadth; one of The Nomad's fleets is just outside our atmosphere, floating listlessly and without power. We watched it burn the system's capital world from orbit til its surface shone like glass.
The pre-war fast travel networks are down, and its no secret that we're desperately low on ships, but someone at home thinks we're worth bothering with. I received word last night that a UEG Cutter Class vessel, the Scythian, is enroute to the system. When we asked why, we were given instructions to monitor all comms channels for further instructions. This has got to be Naval Intelligence jargon for 'we've been commandeered by a Naval Intelligence spook and we don't know why we're coming out there', i can feel it. Matter of fact, i'm going to ask the Director about this right now."
