The Republic of Malta, in an effort to continually provide up-to-date information regarding the Nation's relations, has recently provided for display the accounting of most, but not all, individuals and groups considered by the Republic to be criminals. These may be due to political lashbacks by the Republic against dissidents, terrorists acting on their own agenda, or simply pirates threatening shipping by the Republic or other friendly or neutral entities within Maltese home, border and extended zone systems.

Please keep notice of this board to ensure safe traversal of Maltese space, and to provide proposals for the board should new criminal suspects arise.

A link to the neural net address of the database will be provided here.

Republic database directory links should be updated soon if they aren't already. We implore citizens and civilians to be mindful of those they meet within Maltese space, and act should they feel they are in danger.

The Republic today has issued an update to the Maltese Codex of Interstellar Laws, as well as a graphical update to the Foreign Asset Registry.

As of today, following the end of the Gallic war declared over two months ago, the Republic of Malta is proud to announce that §1-1-1, §1-3-1, §1-3-3, §3-1-2, §3-3-2, and §4-4-2 have been amended to regard the Gallic Navy in place of the now defunct Gallic Council. In addition to this, §1-3-1, §1-5, §3-1, and §3-3-4 have been amended to replace the formerly known Gallic Royal factions under the banner of the continually banned Gallic Royal Enclave. This also extends to Gallic corporations IDF Shipping, EFL Oil & Machinery, and the Gallic Metal Service, who are all re-granted their access to Maltese border space.

As well as this, all embargoes have been lifted, including defunct ones, to allow for free trade to pass through the Taus and Gallia undisturbed once more by Republic law enforcers.
