UNION REPORT:
Unnamed Empire:
Threat Level: High
Report:
Admiral Hargun I have compiled this report for you on the so called 'Unnamed Empire' as people are calling them, their true name is unknown and their location is just south of the Ostech Combine territory. The true extend of their territory is only an estimate but has been added to the star charts anyway for our ships to steer clear of.
All contact with the Empire has led to conflict however only two proper 'battles' have taken place between us and them. They seem to be highly secretive and territorial to the point where they will aggressively attack anything that enters their space. They have communicated in both text and actual video communication before however the visual communication seems to be done with copied 'digital avatars' which are essentially reconstructed and badly done images of past Union captains they have encountered, their talking seems monotone and out of sync and their phrasing is terrible. However their messages are usually short.
For example when the Union team who recently engaged the Unnamed Empire approached what was a Dark Triumvirate staging ground they found DT forces above the a planet which had a DT base. There were a number of anomalous signals from all around the system and coming from the DT ships. Unlike the DT they did not attack immediately and a bad digital Capitol commander told the Union Dart class to leave. When the team suspected trickery they attempted to negotiate. The ships then turned to engage however the DT ships turned into the now known typical UE ships with their defraction fields still up. Showing an ability to copy visually and somewhat on sensors other ships they have encountered. After a vicious fire fight where the cruiser was almost destroyed the Union team managed to discover the UE quantum worms and scrubbed them from the ships AI. They then proceeded to destroy the UE ships and investigate the base below which was attacked by the UE ground forces, visuals were corrupted by the Defraction gear. The team then destroyed the base. However all traces of the UE were destroyed due to their self destruct mechanisms. This was the first time a descent fight between us and them has happened. The first instance was a lot different.
In the first instance our small fleet of 10 ships a Dart class and 3 Razors and 6 corvettes were destroyed after stumbling on their space, only one Razor survived heavily damaged and the UE defraction gear stopped us from doing any return damage that we know. It is also after this we determined their now dubbed 'Null Lance' beam weapons and their effects on matter. These are shown to be averagely effective vs shields but incredibly powerful against armour where it breaks bonds between atoms.
So far we know a few other empires have encountered them and many merchant and civilian ships have gone missing in their space. We have tried to send probes and other stealthy detection gear into their space but we have had no success as they have gone dark shortly after. It has also been observed in the only instance we were in one of their systems all of their orbitals, cities and civilian ships were all under the effects of defraction gear so we got not proper readings. It also has been seen none of their communications have been hacked either as they must use some sort of different method to send messages.
The only other empire with this much information is the Nex, It has been shown that this was the race that destroyed the Nex Empire millions of years ago and forced them into hibernation in the ark worlds. However we do not know why the UE became so aggressive in this period and so we shall keep an eye out should they become aggressive again, for now they are territorial but they will become a huge threat should they start attacking nearby worlds.
I have forwarded all data and images I can get my hands on in this file. Good day Hargun and I hope this will become of use.
Captain Lydia out.
