Señor Albert:

We appreciate that you have contacted us beforehand. My name is Julia López, Observer of Malta Hyperspace Starfleet, and I will answer your questions in this matter. As you have been informed by our Alpha Explorer, Omicron Alpha is restricted for those who want to make surveying and mapping work and we will not tolerate ships equipped with specific devices for those jobs.

Now, regarding our stance with the rest of the Omicrons, if you want to explore and traverse through these systems, we have no objections to do so, except for Omicron Beta. This one has been on our interests for quite some time by now, but in previous events we have suffered harassments from trespassers, mostly consisted of Gas Miner Guild vessels in an unexplainable attempt to impose their own operations. For now, the situation seems under control but, as you could understand, any additional foreign movement in the area could be most suspicious.

The laws of our people are subject to each Don and their commands, so each Maltese organization, group or Cartel has their own liberties to apply their regulations as they wish, if those do not collide between the Outcasts. The political structure of the Maltese is always on flux, improving itself so all our society can function as one. With that in mind, Malta Hyperspace Starfleet has a more open-minded stance regarding freelancer vessels. In previous events, independent mercenaries and traders have proved valuable for our organization and we consistently authorized them to go near our areas with previous validated consent.

Starfliers have shown discipline and deference towards our kin and we can corroborate that you have not breached our zones carelessly. As with all freelancer vessels and independent respectable entities, we will have no problems to allow you to ingress to the deeper Omicrons with proper escort, to secure our own assets; but, to be completely emphatic on this topic, under no circumstances we will grant access to ships for surveying, mapping or rift data acquisition purposes on Omicron Alpha or Omicron Beta.

I hope this has answered your questions; we will keep this channel open if you have more.
