Sounds like you may have had an encounter with a rogue Cornicen! They're a type of autonomous capital ship first pioneered by the Janus Combine (where other vessels of this type get their name). Janus Cornicens are controlled by an advanced COMP/CON, but because they are less a ship and more a floating greywash hive they can be artificially or accidently created with destructive results. A rogue or cascading NHP connected to a vessel with greywash systems is the most common cause for this sort of Cornicen, much as you have outlined.

Northstar Galactic Command (under contract with the House of Remembrance) recently had a hostile encounter with an artificial Cornicen near Gloria (DS-11), they are exactly as deadly as your report describes. We highly recommend any individuals who encounter a vessel of this type retreat immediately, including performing an emergency near-light ejection if needed. They are extremely dangerous and cannot be bargained or reasoned with.

You are very fortunate that ACS assets were in the area. Even with near-light drives rescues can often take weeks or months to arrive! For this reason we strongly recommend arranging an escort before departing, especially if you are traveling in dangerous regions of space. Northstar Galactic Command has a variety of escort packages available to fit almost any budget: contact us for a detailed list of available assets and prices!

As a final note, GALCOMM strongly recommends against biological personnel entering or connecting directly to legionspace, especially during hostile action. Organic consciousness was not intended to experience that level of information exposure, even with filtering from allied NHPs. Commanders attempting to gain advantages in upcoming actions by communing with the fleet legion often report long-term psychological effects as a result of the experience. The danger is vastly increased in combat. Electronic weapons are intended to scramble and overload legioned NHPs operating on naval hardware with multiple layers of cyber defense and minimal processing restrictions. They are so powerful that a standard conscious can be overwhelmed simply as collateral damage, resulting in total brain death.

This is Callsign Scrappy reporting. The ACS fleet dispatched this... thing. Khopesh keeps telling me all that greywash was controlled by a very not right in the head NHP... shame still that it had to go so violently. But... uh... Aside from some... small issues with the subjectivity suite of mine after having both them and Kid plugged in for so long.. think we're gonna be alright.
