Liberty Rogues

For the time being, it should suffice to bring you up to speed with current political winds. After collapse of your reign on Padua, Buffalo followed shortly. Initial combat achievements of Mort weren't enough to fill the leadership void. Over the next year a small number of groups with limited operational capabilities emerged or re-emerged, such as Torpedoes, State Colors, Niverton Rouges, Dawson Rogues and finally Alcatraz Rogues. Only the latter survived until today and still actively operate in Liberty under leadership of already mentioned "Uncle Willy".


Unioners

The lack of any coherent Rogue leadership resulting in your minimal operational capabilities forced us to compensate. We have invested billions into heavy combat hardware and looked to the south for allies. For over a year now we are building a relationship with the Unioners. We have almost finalized our year long negotiations when a sudden internal purge in Der Alster Union caused a significant setback for our joint operations. Our informant says that just two weeks ago Arbeitsdirektor Garen exiled over half of the Union ringleaders. Upcoming months will tell us whether the movement will survive this internal turmoil and can play any significant role for us.


Separatists

In the meantime we have forged an alliance with the separatists from Battlegroup Harmony, a rogue splinter group of ex-Navy officers led by Admiral Victoria Knight. They received shelter and our backing under the condition that they will not attack the Rogues and Outcasts in Liberty. I do strongly suggest you to tell your boys to not seek hostility with the battlegroup. So far they have been quite successful with guerrilla strikes against the Liberty Navy. They have fortified their base of operations in Bering and were so far a reliable ally. The only concern I have is the fragility of this marriage. According to our analysis without the charismatic admiral the battlegroup will either plunge into disarray or disband almost instantly.


Outcasts

The Outcasts have gone through a lot of internal turmoil. Shortly after Ghosts of Razgriz disappeared The Crimson Cross went through mostly bloodless transition into a modern National Council. It doesn't mean that Malta is united. About half year ago our research revealed about dozen Outcast splinter groups operating either loosely within the Council or completely outside of it, such as Fedeltà, Maltlese Legion, Commune, Oracles, Malteese Exiles, 101st or remnants of Contari Lance, Mosquitos, 72nd, 13th or even XTF. It seems that after fall of The Commune, banishment of The Oracles and the last series of purges within the Council itself, the situation is rather stable. The National Council has prevailed but is weak and is still licking its wounds.
