Greetings, dear allies,

My name is Matteo and I am a Liberty Rogue. My parents were both Maltese, but I never had the chance to visit our home planet. I come to you with a simple request, permission to use one of your excellent technical achievements. You may wonder why I am not using what I can freely access...well, it's a bit of a long story, but I'll try to keep it short.

I practly raised myself. All my parents left me was an old Rogue heavy fighter. Rusty piece of junk but it did, and still does, it's job. I was nothing more than a small time bandit, trying to survive in a harsh world. The only targets within reach were small, poorly equipped and unescorted freighters. Profits were low, but so were the risks. Eventually, I tried to "expand my business". Used all of my profits to buy a "Barghest": beautiful ship, but not easy to fly. I got blasted on my first run, spent 2 years on a Prison Station.

If there is something I learned...all by myself I cannot stand up to our enemies. The goal is to get in, get the credits and get out fast. I needed something between my old "Greyhound" and the "Barghest". That something is the "Werewolf". Excellent ship as well, just one flaw: with only five forward guns, one must sacrifice either hull busting or shield busting power. But..there is a third option, I reckon. A technical wonder devise by the Maltese nation: the "Inferno" cannon.

Now, I am well aware that the gun is the pride of the Maltese fleets and that it would require a lot of work and trust to earn such a privilege. If there is even a remote possibility that I could be allowed to purchase one....well, tell me what you need from me, and I will see what I can do.

I look forward to hearing from you.

With regards,
Matteo Domini.

Hola senor Matteo

Let me start by saying i do not represent the 101st on this matter, but i have taken the liberty to forward the message to them.

No why i answer here is because of a uniquem that i havent ever seen before. A child from Maltese parents that can live without cardamine? One might wonder if thats even possible, if this person even speaks the truth, since you would be the first to achieve such a thing.

I would kindly love to hear how this wonder is possible.

Adios senor Matteo

A Psalm out of the outcast history books.
The dons are our shepherds; I shall not want. They make us live with a cause; They lead us trough the still vasts of space. They restore our souls; They lead us in the paths of righteousness For The Orange Dream. Yai, though we fly through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil; For the Spirits are with us; Your leadership and Your cardamine, they comfort us. You prepare a safe home for us in the presence of our enemies; Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us All the days of our life; And we will dwell in the house of the outcasts Forever

Buenos días, senor Maximus,

First of all, let me thank you for taking interest in this matter.

Second of all, let me clarify your doubt. Indeed I said that my parents were Maltese. However, I also said they didn't raise me. I was raised by the Liberty Rogues, without the Cardamine, without it's drawbacks or advantages.

Hope that clears everything out.

Adios.
