History
The Nowaki was a Merchant-class JumpShip serving with the Draconis Combine's Seventh Ghost Regiment as of 3150. As such, it was part of the invasion force that struck Emporia, jumping to the system's nadir jump point shortly before midnight on 3 April 3150.[1] It pretended through its IFF signal to be a trader from the Federated Suns carrying a Mule-class cargo DropShip. In truth, it carried and deployed the Shinyo, a Rose-class combat vessel. [2]
By chance, another cargo vessel bound for Emporia—the Whatever It Takes—passed within sight of the Nowaki and realized the JumpShip was not what it pretended to be.[1] However, the defenders on Emporia considered the captain of the Whatever It Takes a dubious source of information and remained unsure whether or not to believe him.
