So BLS, what about our part of the profit. Our happy jolly band has been disrupting Liberty forces for weeks making massive holes in their drug net. If anything, I don't know of any other group doing as much as us to cripple the Police and embarrass the Navy, making getting cardi to Liberty easier. And we, for the most part, avoid pirateing smugglers all together. Unless they are working for Corsair dogs bringing in filthy artifacts.
So if you want to charge so much for the "right" to move cardi from our beautiful world, we would sure like a taste of the fee for our efforts.

Subj. : A possible arrangement of mutual profit and interest
To whom it may concern :
My name is not important. My business is. I represent SpaceAce Enterprises, a company which has interest in distrubuting you product. I and some of my associates have already become wealthy from delivering your product to the Libery masses. I have paid my dues for my license to your organization, under my other callsign SpaceTrader when the time expires or other concerns arise. I have no wish to change this aggrement, and do wish to continue it for some time. I am sure that it works well for me, and hope that it works well for you as well.
What I do need is your blessing. I have need to protect my organization from liberty dogs and in far outlying reaches of nomad space and need something, shall we say, more intimidating. I need to purchase a Outcast Dreadnought from Corsica, to be purchased largely (over 80%) with proceeds from my business.
Please understand that i do not wish to encroach on your turf or business. Our relationship has made me a rich man, and now i need the power to defend what is mine. I would not be is this situation if the Outcasts had not been so good to me. I would naturally give you my word that this ship shall never do harm to another Outcast or Syndicate member, and if the need arises, i shall glady render my services without question or compensation.
Thank you for your consideration and rapid response in this matter -
SpaceAce Enterprises

The simple answer is a resounding no. Corsica produces a Dreadnought once every four months, and the ones that come in for maintenance increse that time to a good six, not to mention it takes special funding appropriations for ships of that size, and resources, something we have precious little of. Outcast Dreadnoughts are for the use of the Outcast Militaries only, and as we have less than 25 on active duty right now we need everything we can get. Indeed, the stated purpose is encorachment upon Liberty and 'Nomad' space, both of which are out of bounds for various reasons. Bonello out.

' Wrote:I'm speaking First as a proud Malta Citizen; an Outcast! and second as an equally proud member of the Blue Lotus Syndicate. Denying you (and i mean you as in independent smugglers) access to our Cardamine will not hurt our economy one bit or hinder the spread of the Orange Dream through out Sirius. You come here and buy Cardamine dirt cheap then you go sell it where ever and keep all the profit to your self. Now how does that help us? Help our people? Not one bit. So just letting you trade oh so freely will actually hurt us more. That is why we have you pay our requested sum or join our ranks cause that way Malta and her people are guaranteed to be taken care of.
Now if you want to continue being an independent 'trader' with our product then by all means do so, but you must give us a percentage of the profits(before you leave...we don't take IOUs). And if you choose not to pay, things will become very hard for you.

I am Commander Ricardo Domingo Naruni, and I want to know what if we ARE Maltans?! You may be an Outcast but I am a Maltan. I am no Outcast of nothing. It is those fools who are not one of us, THEY, are the outcast.
Again what if we are Maltans?! Are you going to kill us too?! The BLS has been responsible for the distruction of two Naruni vessels. Vessels that have assisted in the repeling of the "miner's guild" assault in Alpha from the CR.
The BLS are there to choke Malta for thier own gain, our plantations will sal to anyone wishing to purchase the Orange dream from FREE plantation owners. Not those cowed by the incesstuous and canabilistic BLS. Those "Outcast" feed thier profits by hurting Malta. I'll even wager that if you dig deep enough you'll find a plot or two to take down Malta in thier "plans". And set themselves on top of the galaxy instead of all Maltans. They will deny this of course.
For Free Malta!!!

You dare accuse us of hurting Malta... let me leave you with a warning. If you continue in your ways, you will wake to a slit throat. Maybe not tonight, maybe not this week, but it will happen. You're playing with the big boys now, and while I detest spilling Maltese blood, you're leaving me little choice in the matter.
Oh, and any attempt to reproduce this message while wipe the entire computer you use, and any attempt to broadcast it will end wih whatever you use exploding.
This is Shosho Kaede Otori of the Sisterhood of Kusari, also known as Golden Chrysanthemum, speaking to you concerning the Cardamine transportation.
Could we perhaps somehow come to an agreement allowing some of the trading ships who support us allowing to import Cardamine from time to time towards Morioka/Ainu? As for now, we don't have the capacitys to transport the Cardamine we need towards our bases, and they have prooven to support us with everything we need.
Or you send some convoys out to transport the needed Cardamine to our bases, it's up to your decision, but i would prefer persons i know i can trust. This does not mean i would not trust you, i simply don't know you, as i don't have the time for long travels over to Malta.
With kind regards
Sayonare Kaede Otori
