I moved 620 units of Cardamine to Cape Wrath Base to assist in our brethrens efforts. I then gathered 620 Light Blasters marked for delivery to Puertollano Observation Post. From there I moved some Deuterium across the system to Seguro Refugio. Moving again across the system I went to Galicia Research Station to pick up a group of Scientists bound for Malta
I think I'll take a rest for a few cycles, that was quite the trip

Yesterday I made a few runs of Cardamine to our good amigos the Liberty Rogues, at their outpost in the Galileo system. I figure we can trust them to deal with the logistics of spreading it deeper into Liberty.
While there, I was informed of a Lane Hacker presence in the very same system. Curious, I asked for and received coordinates to one "Leiden Base" in Galileo. Once all my cargo was unloaded, I proceeded there. I was received with hospitality, and, being mostly unfamiliar with the operations of the Lane Hackers, having had few previous encounters of them, acquainted myself a bit with their operations - at least what they were willing to share.
Pues, mis compadres, this brings us to the point of this transmission. As you may know, I am rather passionate about our shared interested in Maltese expansion. In this regard, I believe the Lane Hackers may prove to be valuable allies. While centered mostly around electronic technology themselves, their ability to...cual es la palabra..."hack" into corporate systems could be very useful indeed. Perhaps they could even gather a little something from Planetform to aid us in our research of San Remo. In any case, I believe this is definitely something worth pursuing. I'll keep you informed if I learn any more from contacts I made during my stay at Leiden.
Buenas noches, amigos.
I have made a very good start within the Campania Cartel and have many things to report about the events of today.
To start with I gathered up pretty much every last penny that my family's business has made with our Cardamine plantation, the reason being is that I needed to purchase a new ship. You won't catch Diego Gonzales flying around is some petty civilian shuttle, not to mention the fact that there is no way that I could spread the glory of Cardamine in a ship of such a small size!
After undocking from our glorious home Planet Malta, I set a course to the nearest station where I could purchase a ship suitable for spreading the orange grass. My destination was Ibiza base.
I reached the base without any cause for concern and was promptly put through to a very kind woman at docking control who was very quick to grant me docking access, docking procedures then went off without a hitch and I was quickly inside of the station. Thank goodness for that, I was worried that something might go wrong or a delay would occur and then everyone might see me in my puny civilian shuttle, now that would have been a disaster.
Once I had safely landed my ship and had hastily removed myself from the cockpit I headed straight to the ship dealer where I rather gladly exchanged my current shuttle as well as the better part of thirty million credits for a fully equipped Dromedary freighter. Finally I was ready to spread the glory that is cardamine.
So, I had a new ship and now all I needed was to actually get some cardamine in it, and ready for delivery at my destination, Cape Wrath Base, with that in mind I headed back to Planet Malta. As to be expected everything went smoothly with the docking procedures, after I landed I went over to the local market.
I finally found what I was looking for planet side, I managed to purchase a full cargo hold, that's 630 units worth of cardamine. This cardamine had come from plantations from within the Campania cartel, some of the loading crates even had markings from my own plantation from where I had previously sold them on.

Shortly after picking up the cardamine from Planet Malta I headed out of the Omicrons and into the Taus, it was in Tau-37 where I finally realised that I was lost. You see I hadn't purchased an updated NavMap as of yet and so I was missing the location of several key jump holes that I needed to use to reach my destination.
Bearing this in mind I decided that I should dock somewhere and ask for directions. I was in luck, it wasn't too long before I passed by Freeport-10, A zoner installation which rather kindly granted me docking access.
Once I had been granted docking access I went to the bar, here I met the bartender who had happened to fly around the area in his younger days and so seemed to know the area pretty well, with his help as well as one of our own pilots help; Elio Lopez I managed to plot a course that would actually get me all the way to Cape Wrath Base.
From here on out I managed to get to the Newcastle system without indecent, which came as a complete surprise, mainly because the reason why I was supplying Cape Wrath in the first place was due to the fact that the Gallic navy was sending raids into Bretonia through the Newcastle system which has been known to disrupt our supply lines and so our people there often run low on Cardamine. That being said, I'm not complaining that there wasn't any issues, I was just surprised, maybe the Gallic's are off elsewhere fighting the Bretonian's.
Upon reaching our station within the Newcastle system I was quick to drop off the much needed cardamine for our people working there. Hopefully this will be enough to keep them going for a while, after the delivery was completed I opted to stay on the station for the night and get some rest.
That's it to report for today amigos, I will be headed back to Planet Malta first thing tomorrow morning though to help out as much as I can, this is Diego Gonzales signing out, safe flying out there.
Buenas Tardes, I have had another very productive day, and once again I have new things to report to all of you my amigos.
After my rest on Cape Wrath Base last night I was feeling well rested and so was able to leave the Newcastle system and head back into the Omicrons, towards our home in Omicron Alpha, Planet Malta.
On my way back to Omicron Alpha, and thereon Planet Malta I came across one of our pilots; Cesar Rivera, together we decided that it'd be best if we both head over to our station in the Lorraine system and supply them with cardamine which they could not only use for themselves but also to spread throughout the entire house of Gallia.

I thought that I'd get a little more time to have a bit of a break on Malta after my return, however when theres work to be done theres no point in putting it off to a later date. Besides I'm quite liking these off world trips, anyway within less than hour of loading, our ships where prepped for launch and we were already leaving again.
We passed through the Omicron-80 system with almost no trouble at all, although we did have to waste a bit of time to find the entrance to the Mine Field that guarded the Lorraine jump hole, however we managed ok and were soon through it.
On the other side of the jump hole we where greeted by yet another mine field, as we flew through it we discussed why there might of been so many mines next to the jump hole, Cesar suggested that maybe the Gauls where scared of something, and they'd be right to be scared of the mighty outcast nation if you ask me.

When we where passing through the Toul Nebula where Torino is located, me and Cesar somehow got split up, probably due to my poor NavMap. This somehow led to Cesar reaching Torino Base before I did, in any case once he found the station it wasn't long before I did too.
Once I finally managed to actually find the base and dock I started to appreciate the location of it a little bit more, if it's hard to find for those that are meant to find it, think how hard it must be for the Gallic navy to find it.
It wasn't long before I was dropping off the cardamine, I was told that this cardamine would be spread throughout Gallia, hopefully we can get a few of the Gallic's addicted to our precious orange grass they will become dependent on it and thus us for survival. I really think that if we focused on spreading cardamine throughout Gallia that we could create a large power base for ourselves there.
That pretty much covers the events of today, as I'm sending you this report I'm already in the Omicron-80 system on my way back to Planet Malta where I intend to take a few days rest. Until then, this is Diego Gonzales signing out.

Please be advised that due to the recent expansion of our areas of influence outward into space and beyond and the subsequent increase of demand in our products, the Cartel is offering a bonus payment for members shipping in agricultural equipment. For those bringing it into Maltese orbit about a transport, the bonus is 2500 credits/unit whereas for those bringing it directly to New Naples via freighter is 5000 credits/unit.
Hola, mi familia. It is good to be here, I must say that after my most recent journey I doubted that I'd ever make it back here. Now though I am somewhat tired from such an arduous journey, however I will endeavor to give you an overview of my travels, for more specific details though I feel it would be appropriate to meet face to face.
A few weeks ago I set out from Planet Malta alongside one of our fellow pilots; Pablo Pavellini, we managed to make our way through the Omicrons and into the south of Sirius where the Corsairs run wild. It was a very testing time for the both of us that took the better part of a week, still we managed to evade the Corsairs and move deep into Rheinland territory where we managed remain hidden from the Rheinland federal police.
Our purpose for visiting such an area was that we were attempting to pick up desperately needed agricultural equipment from the Landwirtrechtbewegung for the growing of the great orange grasses. After we arrived at Darmstadt Depot we we're quick to load our ships up and depart from the area as we we're growing ever worried about the possible presence of Rheinland forces or perhaps even the Corsairs themselves appearing.
We managed to move unseen past the Rheinland border and into Liberty space, we finally managed to get some rest aboard the Junker station; Beaumont Base in the Texas system, after a few nights rest I decided that I should move ahead of Pablo due to my smaller ship size that could easily avoid the Liberty authorities.
After a bit of a journey through Liberty, where I met some pleasant junkers who we're hauling some scrap to ourselves in Alpha, oh but that's a story for another time. Anyway after passing through Liberty I didn't encounter any other issues, for once, so that was nice. It gave me a bit of time to get some shut eye whilst the auto pilot did the flying until I finally arrived home. I feel that of all the moments that I was out there, the best part was probably jumping back into our home system, and seeing that glorious sight again, I don't think I'll ever tire of it.
Ah hell, there I go getting all emotional. Bah, were was I? Oh yes! Here is a gun-cam shot of me finally dropping off our much needed agricultural equipment, all 630 units of it, I sure hope that it was worth the trouble it cost to go and get it.

Right, well that's me signing off for now, I don't know about you guys but I'm off to go have a siesta, buenas noches mis amigos.
