Recipent: The Council of Corsair Elders

Honored Elders,
as announced i traveled to the deep Omicrons to get in touch with the local Zoner population as well as the agents of the Order. I was able to secure audience with Senor Golanski, a leader of the Order forces - as well as Senor Burton of the Phoenix Zoner groupation.
If the Council wishes the complete transcripts and data files are available upon request- here, i will present you a brief summary on the current state of business:

- The "Friendly" Nomad: Sightings of these aliens are not unique- both Zoners and Order agents experienced these. Both parties also agree that it is impossible to trust the creatures as there is no way from telling a Nomad is an honest "it" or not.

- The growing Nomad threat: as the "friendly" creature claimed the Nomads plan to wage war on Sirius and the Corsairs. While the Order of course tried to confirm this, there is no proof available - no deep space reconnaissance mission stumbled upon any fleets or nomad hordes or anything similar. The Order suggested this wouldn't say the contrary, yet i would advice to take their word with a pinch of salt.
Thus i have to state that i feel no immediate threat to the empire as even admittedly the Nomads seem to favor to attack the houses anyways.

-The state in the deep Omicrons: As is, this place is a lonely hell. The rumors about the destruction of Toledo are true, i have seen it with my own eyes...that planet looks like a rotten orangina ! The loss was almost fatal to the Order, yet they cling to their fight- honorable behavior if you ask me.
They are trapped between the Core fleets and the Nomads though and might be in their last breath already, quite possibly the Zoners help them where they can. Yet the Order didn't see it necessary to ask me for putting up a good word with you, so either they are too proud or to blind for seeking out the generous Empire.
The Zoners have established a new base in Omicron Zeta and seem to be left alone by the Core but not by the Nomads- if they were looking for peace out there...they won't find it.

-The Outcasts: Another interesting topic! It seems our lost brethren DO in fact at least partially adhere to a "Nomad religion" and are even forbidden by their laws to attack them! Furthermore the discussion of humanity arose, and i feel more assured than ever now that the Outcast are no longer human but instead a new species, more akin to the nomads than anything else. I know those are harsh words, still i daresay that we should forgo the thought of freeing them of Cardamine or showing them more respect and honor than the average cockroach- they are nomad cockroaches lacking the blue sheen and everyone supporting them is supporting the Nomads.

The baseline is - i see no immediate threat to our glorious Empire, even -IF- the Nomad pest gets active they will kill off the Order, the Core and the Zoners first until they get turned to dust by the house navies ...and the more devastation and damage the Nomads cause there....the easier will it be for the Empire to finally conquer a second home for ourselves, finally taking what is ours. Bold talk, no doubt.
What should be considered though is to rekindle our contact with the Order- they are desperate and need help, they just din't realize they need the Corsairs, but they will soon realize that our steady supply lines, hardened soldatos and benevolence is what they need to survive. We should make profit out of this, we just have to play our cards smart.
And the Outcasts...well, maybe we can find some more supporters of the Alien-theory, we'll see how much amigos will be left for them afterwards...

As stated, i am yours to answer all questions on this trip honored Elders!

Hasta la vista, Cretes most humble servant
