The Meadows of Malta — The National Council Public News and Announcements - The National Council - 12-25-2016

INITIALIZING MESSAGE
With the asension to power, the recent successful peace talks with Bretonia, and skyrocketing private profits from a recently discovered xeno organism culture in Omicron Beta, the National Council holds its and Malta's interests in the highest regard and strives to ascertain the peace and prosperity that we all deserve. However, this includes drawing hard lines in the sand that may not be crossed, and one such line has been crossed by none other than the Ghosts of Razgriz, by many revered as a stalwart and ferocious defender of Malta and her interests. Voices have been heard demanding a swift and thorough explanation on how a once great exemplar of Malta could be turned down by the ire of the Council, and these voices shall receive their satisfactory answer enclosed here.
On the 11th of this month, a scout of the CID undertook a routine reconnaisance mission of the ruinous system of Omicron Gamma. Intending to exit the dangerous system in the direction of Omicron Omega, they happened upon the individual known as Estefania Casta, who apparently was surrounded by a horde of Cretin savages. The lack of hostility peaked the scout's interest, who then decided to eavesdrop on the conversation. Raw audiologs shall be attached to this broadcast. Alarmed, the scout returned to Malta and the president was informed, though upon the request that Estafania Casta surrender herself to be interrogated for her motivations to collaborate with the Cretins, we were met with hostility and the Ghosts' being complicit in the withdrawal of a potential high traitor. This, coupled with the very real threats of violence warranted the immediate expulsion from Malta and her sphere of influence.
To the Ghosts themselves: You have made a grave mistake. There is no need for us to punish you, as you will find your punishment in needing Cardamine still. Your choice to back a potential high traitor was foolish and will bring you but ruin, though if you relinquish Estefania Casta to our judiciaries in order for us to exercise due diligence, you may be forgiven. This is our olive branch to you, but knowing you, it will be turned down.
In other news, the National Council has engaged with House of Rheinland in negotiations about a potential peace agreement that would allow Maltese to traverse their sphere without fear of persecution. While the outcome is uncertain, the hopes remain high that yet another venerable house may see the benefit of a mutual friendship with Malta and her people.

[11.12.2016 00:45:28] Estefania.Casta[101st]: Once you had been successful with the Council, you can have the technology to check it for yourself.
[11.12.2016 00:45:40] Estefania.Casta[101st]: I'm not asking you to just take our word for it.
[11.12.2016 00:46:11] Luciano.Vasquez[TBH]: How is this "technology" better than what our allies could already help us with?
[11.12.2016 00:46:16] Luciano.Vasquez[TBH]: What makes it so special?
[11.12.2016 00:46:31] Estefania.Casta[101st]: How to put that without insulting you... let me see.
[11.12.2016 00:46:40] Estefania.Casta[101st]: What you call state-of-the-art...
[11.12.2016 00:46:58] Estefania.Casta[101st]: We refer to as... lets see, how to say that in a kind of friendly way...
[11.12.2016 00:47:07] Estefania.Casta[101st]: I can't. It's trash.
[11.12.2016 00:47:21] Luciano.Vasquez[TBH]: You say your technology is that advanced?
[11.12.2016 00:47:27] Luciano.Vasquez[TBH]: And yet you still need help?
[11.12.2016 00:47:57] Estefania.Casta[101st]: Over two hundred years of adapting nomad technology and building upon it with the most advanced parts mankind had to offer.
[11.12.2016 00:48:04] Estefania.Casta[101st]: I'd say the answer is yes.
[11.12.2016 00:48:27] Estefania.Casta[101st]: Well. We lack the manpower for now. You've the manpower we need.
[11.12.2016 00:48:33] Luciano.Vasquez[TBH]: So your not only asking us to trust Maltese technology, but /Nomad/ technology?
[11.12.2016 00:48:42] Estefania.Casta[101st]: And besides, we tried a few times already to start settling our hatred.
[11.12.2016 00:48:55] Estefania.Casta[101st]: I get it, you're not into our way of life. That's alright.
[11.12.2016 00:49:21] Chaidez: nomad technology? better terraforming?
[11.12.2016 00:49:25] Estefania.Casta[101st]: But why we're trying to get completely rid of the other again? The answer is, the nomadary influence that comes with what
[11.12.2016 00:49:29] Estefania.Casta[101st]: grows on our planet.
[11.12.2016 00:49:55] Luciano.Vasquez[TBH]: The Orange
[11.12.2016 00:49:58] Estefania.Casta[101st]: We've been there. We've seen what's to come beyond that. And we don't want that.
[11.12.2016 00:50:00] Falcon.Negro[TBH]: Hector: Your people depend on that damn thing, you can't just remove it.
[11.12.2016 00:50:10] Estefania.Casta[101st]: We've not chosen our destiny. Neither have you.
[11.12.2016 00:50:28] Luciano.Vasquez[TBH]: It's chained you to that planet, made you it's slaves
[11.12.2016 00:50:31] Estefania.Casta[101st]: None of us actually had a choice. We've all been born way past the date of the initial arrival to make a choice.
[11.12.2016 00:51:09] Estefania.Casta[101st]: We're chained to Malta, si.
[11.12.2016 00:51:23] Estefania.Casta[101st]: That's why we need to take it back from those -governing- it now.
[11.12.2016 00:51:37] Estefania.Casta[101st]: We can benefit from each other.
[11.12.2016 00:51:43] Estefania.Casta[101st]: We've the money, you've the means.
[11.12.2016 00:51:51] Kishiro][Nightfall: Long range scanner system activated.
[11.12.2016 00:52:02] Luciano.Vasquez[TBH]: What exaclty is wrong with the Council?
[11.12.2016 00:52:19] Estefania.Casta[101st]: They're infiltrated by -them-.
[11.12.2016 00:52:42] Estefania.Casta[101st]: For over one hundred and fourty years the Ghosts kept that influence out of maltese government.
[11.12.2016 00:52:56] Estefania.Casta[101st]: But we've failed and now have to deal with the consequences.
[11.12.2016 00:53:16] Estefania.Casta[101st]: You help us fix that, and we'll show you what it means to stand on good terms with Nacion.
[11.12.2016 00:53:29] Luciano.Vasquez[TBH]: Shooting Maltese and Nomads?An interesting proposition....
[11.12.2016 00:56:23] Falcon.Negro[TBH]: Hector: Good with the Nacion?
[11.12.2016 00:56:59] Estefania.Casta[101st]: Lets say we can kindly ignore each other as long we don't step into the others realm of business.
[11.12.2016 00:57:31] Estefania.Casta[101st]: We get what we want.
[11.12.2016 00:57:35] Luciano.Vasquez[TBH]: Perhaps we could ignore you, but I don't think we could ignore your slavery....
[11.12.2016 00:57:45] Estefania.Casta[101st]: You, for once, get a real chance to save your people.
[11.12.2016 00:57:57] Estefania.Casta[101st]: Oh, that...
[11.12.2016 00:58:12] Estefania.Casta[101st]: I can assure you that Ghosts squadron does not condone that act of human traffic.
[11.12.2016 00:58:28] Estefania.Casta[101st]: All our employees are volunteers and paid properly.
[11.12.2016 00:58:29] Luciano.Vasquez[TBH]: Although, if you are as rich as you say, then it should be an easy matter to make sure all your workers are paid are fair wage
[11.12.2016 00:58:49] Estefania.Casta[101st]: We do. Others on Malta, don't.
[11.12.2016 00:59:03] Estefania.Casta[101st]: We're working on that. But with the Council standing in our way... you see.
[11.12.2016 00:59:23] Falcon.Negro[TBH]: Hector: Why did you let them take over in the first place?
[11.12.2016 00:59:52] Estefania.Casta[101st]: We had to preserve an insane amount of intel kept away from them.
[11.12.2016 01:00:05] Estefania.Casta[101st]: You wouldn't want the knowledge we've accumulated in their hands.
[11.12.2016 01:00:56] Estefania.Casta[101st]: But we're willing to share parts of that knowledge with you, once you made yourself a useful resource.
[11.12.2016 01:02:02] Estefania.Casta[101st]: All you've to do is to bring down the heat on the Council in a way they can't stand their ground anymore.
[11.12.2016 01:02:26] Estefania.Casta[101st]: If you take that chance to try bringing down all of Nacion, we'll sure have a way to stop that.
[11.12.2016 01:02:29] Falcon.Negro[TBH]: Hector: That would require us to devote more resources in killing them.
[11.12.2016 01:02:43] Estefania.Casta[101st]: In any way, it'd not get you to reap any of the benefits we're offering.
[11.12.2016 01:02:54] Estefania.Casta[101st]: Resources we'll pay for.
[11.12.2016 01:03:22] Estefania.Casta[101st]: Or better said. We'll not pay for that.
[11.12.2016 01:03:43] Estefania.Casta[101st]: But we'll take care of other concerns your society may have, leaving you open to invest the cost you saved otherwise.
[11.12.2016 01:04:30] Estefania.Casta[101st]: Anyways. I think I made it clear enough.
[11.12.2016 01:04:36] Falcon.Negro[TBH]: Hector: We will naturally need some of those in advance, to see you mean business.
[11.12.2016 01:04:45] Estefania.Casta[101st]: Contact us should you make up your mind and are interested.
[11.12.2016 01:05:18] Falcon.Negro[TBH]: Hector: Here is how this is going to work.
[11.12.2016 01:05:23] Estefania.Casta[101st]: Once we got us a deal by making use of those who shall not be named in public.
[11.12.2016 01:05:46] Estefania.Casta[101st]: We'll see to get your requests done in parts, in advance. As part of our contract.
[11.12.2016 01:05:47] Falcon.Negro[TBH]: Hector: You will contact the Council after the first shipment arrives on Crete, after that we will talk in more detail
[11.12.2016 01:06:12] Falcon.Negro[TBH]: Hector: In a more private place.
[11.12.2016 01:06:19] Luciano.Vasquez[TBH]: Elder, will the Outcasts be allowed to dock on Crete?
[11.12.2016 01:06:22] Estefania.Casta[101st]: Alright. That's acceptable. We'll still, after that initial shipment, go by the way we've layed out.
[11.12.2016 01:06:49] Falcon.Negro[TBH]: Hector: Naturally no, I presume that would be done by that "liberty friend"
[11.12.2016 01:07:14] Luciano.Vasquez[TBH]: Good, I don't think I could trust any of the Maltese on our home planet
[11.12.2016 01:07:17] Estefania.Casta[101st]: Si. We're not sending any of our flags down to your place.
[11.12.2016 01:08:03] Falcon.Negro[TBH]: Hector: Once that arrives, contact the Council and we shall discuss it more privately with more details.
[11.12.2016 01:08:17] Estefania.Casta[101st]: Sounds fair enough.
[11.12.2016 01:08:31] Estefania.Casta[101st]: If you excuse me now. I get a bit uncomfortable staying here for so long.
[11.12.2016 01:08:46] Luciano.Vasquez[TBH]: Is the Orange calling to you?
[11.12.2016 01:08:55] Estefania.Casta[101st]: That's not quite a concern to me.
[11.12.2016 01:09:02] Falcon.Negro[TBH]: Hector: Luciano, make sure she leaves the system por favor.
[11.12.2016 01:09:09] Estefania.Casta[101st]: Just a general feeling that it's time to move on.
[11.12.2016 01:09:11] Luciano.Vasquez[TBH]: Si Elder, I will
[11.12.2016 01:09:33] Estefania.Casta[101st]: Elder Guardian of The Corsair Brotherhood. Godspeed.
[11.12.2016 01:09:50] Falcon.Negro[TBH]: Hector: Hasta luego!
[11.12.2016 01:10:19] Estefania.Casta[101st]: This went better than I expected.
[11.12.2016 01:10:45] Estefania.Casta[101st]: Maybe you're really not the savages our people always claim you to be.
[11.12.2016 01:10:50] Luciano.Vasquez[TBH]: Well, I am quite surprised at how it turned out
[11.12.2016 01:11:18] Estefania.Casta[101st]: Lets see if you do stand to your word.
Estefania Casta
Ishmael
Omicron Alpha
Finally the brat shows herself instead of hiding for so long behind her grunts. A fair trial you say? You couldn't even provide, after requested twice, any evidence, so what should I expect at the Court you control? Your evidently engineered, not existant accusations and then getting locked away on your word? You've not even the slightest idea of what Nacion once was before every dog thought they could rally some of their friends to challenge authority. You're a disgrace to Nacion. You don't understand how our society works and you got no knowledge of our judicial system.
I'm back to Ishmael, prepared for whatever you dare throwing at the Razgriz' Ghosts. You try entering our territory and you'll have a planetside war you can't ever win, regardless of what you think you got. Even as much as remotely point a gun in my direction and I'll burn your compounds, skin your people alive, remove your eyes through your neck and send them to your relatives who'll be next to meet the end you brought upon them until your whole heritage is eliminated. I'll take the fight to the streets of every city where one of yours is found, every house that holds anyone speaking up for your side and leave the dead rotting on your doorstep. Our artillery will rain fire on your people, our tanks will crush everything you inhabit or built and our soldiers will walk the ground soaked with the blood of your followers.
That and nothing less is what you'll receive if you don't stop it now.
For power. For Ishmael. For the Ghosts.
Salutes.
'Stefania Casta.

INITIALIZING MESSAGE
To the people of Rheinland,
it is a dark time for Rheinland when civilian installations are attacked by terrorists in this cowardly way. Families and lifes ruined in the name of some futile cause. We cannot stand idly by when attacks of old, long forbidden, are being used on the defenseless. Our status within Rheinland should be of no matter, with our ships long avoiding it for ancient grudges, long forgotten. We intend to help those hurt and soften the damage done.
Those families now without support and ripped apart shall receive food and shelter if they so wish. We have already engaged in talks with your Bundestag to send monetary help as well as medical shipments. Soon our ships should enter Rheinland for all we wait for is the Bundestag allowing us to pass and leave in peace. For when the innocent are part of a war that is not theirs we have to act.
Our sources are speaking of Corsair involvement, saying that the Unioners themselves would have never managed to strike an important shipyard this easily. We have sent out people to confirm this and pursued Corsairs leaving Rheinland into the Omicrons. I regret to inform you now that this will not be the last attack. We will continue to inform the authorities and offer our support.
People of Rheinland, know you are not alone in this.
Cristina Martelli - Malta, Las Lealtades

Esteemed families, allies and friends,
The National Council is proud to announce that our long and laborious efforts towards reaching out to our friends in the Republic of Rheinland have finally borne fruits. As of now, the National Council has brokered a temporary ceasefire agreement with the Federal Republic to facilitate a good military cooperation within the recently reopened Sigma theatre. As such, the National Council, as well as any families wishing to aid, will be joining forces with the Rheinland Military to repell and ultimately defeat the Kusari Naval Forces and the Gas Miners Guild.
The National Council explicitly entreats our families and allies to not tresspass into the systems considered Rheinland sovereign space, which includes Sigma-15. The path towards friendship is a tedious one and we cannot expect a sudden change of heart when it comes to international relations this quickly. Have patience, esteemed families and allies. The Federal Republic will learn to appreciate the help of the best pilots in Sirius, the only ones who are seriously lending support against their numerous enemies.
Here is towards a future that will bring prosperity and wealth to our nation.

Esteemed families, allies and friends,
The National Council in its tireless pursuit of bringing Malta ever forward has reached another milestone in the development of our great nation's outside politics. As of the 16th of February 826 A.S., the state of war between the Nation of Malta and the Crayter Republic is officially over. With the Treaty of Coronado, the National Council has secured the Cardamine routes to Liberty and ensured the free transit of people to Malta. Not just that, but the Crayter Republic shall join us in our effort to counteract the Cretin trade in artifacts.
It is also our pleasure to therefore announce that the National Council sees no reason not to endorse the Crayter Republic as its own legal entity under international law and the legal successor to the United Nations legal entity of Sol.
The cessation of hostilities is sure to bring great wealth and prosperity to all of us. With only the Gallic invasion to worry about, Malta is free to direct its full attention to this common enemy so it may be vanquished in time.

Esteemed families, allies and friends.
As you no doubt have noticed, the National Council has, sadly, been losing a lot of the political influence it once held on Malta. As an inevitable turnout over everything related to Malta, I am sure none of you is surprised that, in the end, even we are forced to realize the boundaries of our own aspirations.
The National Council has done much for Malta. We have facilitated a friendship with Bretonia and even made the first steps towards recognition by the House of Rheinland. Truly, the Maltese Nation is the one true heir of the Hispania and one day — though I myself will likely not live to see this day — Malta will take its rightful place in the sun as an equal to the great houses of Sirius. The National Council did its part. Now it is on others to do theirs.
The Maltese Legion has started a fire within the hearts of many Maltese, young and old, eager to do good for their Nation. They have realized that there is something more than just the soil we were born on that unites us. It is our blood. I hope to see those of you who value it to support them, as I do.
That is all. The Council has convened for the last time today.
