Story/Biography:

Born and raised in the heart of Planet Malta, amidst the glowing fields of Cardamine blooms, I have always felt a deep connection to our home and its orange-tinted skies. From a young age, I was drawn to the stories of our people, the Outcasts, and their struggle for freedom against the forces that threaten Malta's existence. My parents instilled in me a sense of pride in our heritage and a determination to fight for our rights. Trained in the ways of combat and survival by veteran Outcast fighters, I grew up with a strong sense of duty to protect our way of life.

As I came of age, I delved into the secrets of Cardamine, studying its effects on both body and mind. Witnessing firsthand the power it wielded over our people, I became convinced of its potential to shape the future of civilization. With each inhalation of the orange haze, I felt a surge of energy and clarity, driving me to push the boundaries of what was thought possible.

Now, as I stand on the brink of adulthood, I yearn to join the ranks of the Malta Hyperspace Starfleet, to lend my skills and knowledge to our cause.


Why do you want to join us?: The Outcasts are my family, my people. I want nothing more than to stand shoulder to shoulder with my fellow brothers and sisters, fighting for our freedom and the right to determine our own destiny. The Malta Hyperspace Starfleet represents the embodiment of our hopes and aspirations, and I am eager to do my part in ensuring our continued survival and prosperity.

Name: Ramirez Fengozes

Story/Biography: Ramirez's early life was steeped in the traditions of the Outcasts. From a young age, he was taught the importance of loyalty to the family and the faction, as well as the skills necessary for survival in the perilous environment of space. His education was a mix of academic learning and practical training, focusing on spacecraft piloting, combat, and the intricate process of Cardamine cultivation. The drug, which prolongs the life of its users but also makes them dependent, is seen by the Outcasts as a sacred gift and the basis of their economy.
Ramirez quickly showed an aptitude for piloting and navigation, joining the ranks of the Outcasts' spacefaring warriors. He became involved in defending Outcast territory against encroachments by rival factions and in the smuggling operations that distributed Cardamine across the Sirius sector. His daring exploits and navigational prowess earned him respect and notoriety among his peers.
Like many Outcasts, Ramirez harbors a deep resentment towards the houses of Sirius, who see the Outcasts as criminals and smugglers. He is motivated by a desire to secure a future for his people and to prove that the Outcasts are more than the pirates and drug dealers they are often portrayed as. Ramirez is also driven by a personal quest to explore the origins of the Hispania and the history of his people, hoping to find a way to break the cycle of isolation and conflict that has defined the Outcasts' existence.

Why do you want to join us?: The decision to join the HS isn't merely a choice—it's a continuation of his heritage and a commitment to the values and struggles of his people. For Ramirez, joining the HS is an act of loyalty to his family and to the generations that came before him. It's a way to honor the sacrifices made by the Outcasts who navigated through adversity since the days of the Hispania. This deep sense of belonging and responsibility to his heritage is a powerful motivator. Also, The HS are in a constant battle to protect their home and way of life from external threats. By joining their ranks, Ramirez contributes to the defense of Malta and the preservation of the Outcast culture. This includes safeguarding the secrets of Cardamine cultivation and ensuring the survival of his people.

What does Cardamine mean to you?: Cardamine is the spice which extends existence and enhances our abilites. With it, we crossed the stars, got closer to K'vash's minds and bright intellect, reflecting their light on all who wish to acquire wisdom from ages hidden in mystery and wonderment, rule over pirates, and soon impose our domain over all sirius.

Name: Corvo Gotti

Story/Biography: Born an orphan on Malta fifty-five years ago (779 A.S.), Corvo's early years were spent stalking the streets of Porto d'Anzio looking for easy marks among the Freelancers and Smugglers that came to Malta for Cardamine. Some of the off-worlders could barely stand after their first hit, and this made snatching creds literal childs' play. When Corvo was thirteen years old, he crossed paths with the late Don Matteo Gotti after making the mistake of trying to pinch some creds off of the Don. Rather than discipline the boy, Don Gotti saw potential and took him in, raising him like a son. From this great man, Corvo learned of the great Orange Dream and the importance of the Cardamine trade. Finally, he had a family and a glorious purpose. Over the next few years, Corvo would serve the Gotti family as a cardamine runner on and off world, eventually earning himself his own Sabre which he put to use escorting newer runners and putting down Corsair dogs.

In 800 A.S. while overseeing cardamine operations on Malta for the Gotti family, Corvo received word that Don Matteo Gotti had been captured by Liberty authorities and was being quietly transferred to Cryer Pharmaceuticals. After using the family's connections to pull a few strings, Corvo learned Matteo was being held at a remote research facility in Sigma-17 along with several other sons of Malta. With the help of the best Sabre pilots from the cartels connected to the Gotti family, Corvo travelled to Sigma-17 only to find the research facility already under attack by the enigmatic Order. The leader of the attack claimed Cryer Pharmaceuticals was working with the Nomads and conducting experiments on Maltese in an attempt to synthesize cardamine. The Gotti family and the Order forces agreed to storm the facility together, rescue the Outcast captives and discover the Nomads' plans. During the ensuing firefight, a tank of refined liquid cardamine was shot and exploded, catching Corvo in the blast. The blast severely damaged the left side of his face and left eye, dosing the tissue with pure cardamine, blackening the tissue and making his left pupil glow a fiery orange like the skies of Malta. With the captives rescued, the Order destroyed the base and vanished using their cloaking devices.

Over the next 34 years, the Gotti family struggled to maintain financial stability as Matteo Gotti succumbed to his treatment at the hands of Cryer Pharmaceuticals and the Nomads, requiring more and more purer and purer cardamine just to get out of bed. In 827 A.S. Don Matteo Gotti passed away, leaving the Gotti family legacy to Corvo who has spent his time rebuilding the family's financial stability despite his own need for regular pure cardamine injections.

Why do you want to join us?: To spread Cardamine to every corner of the sector and beyond, and to work closely with the best scientists and pilots of Starfleet to that end. I myself do not revere the Spirits, as my personal interactions with them in my youth left more than a few scars. However, I have begun to see.. visions.. and hear dissonant whispers I cannot ignore. I believe in the power of Cardamine. Not only as a means for us to control the Houses, but to communicate with the Nomads and develop new technology.

What does Cardamine mean to you?: In a word: Everything. Cardamine is the blood of our people, but it also gave this once orphan boy a future.

Fighters/Bombers or Capital Vessels?: Capital Vessels. I currently fly a "Peregrine" frigate and enjoy it, but look forward to flying something larger. I prefer capital ship gameplay over dogfighting.
