Señor Cabrera,

From what I know, most of my former comembers of the Cartel be they noble or not stepped out of business and active involvement in any matters, enjoying their quite generous pensions following the dissolution of the Cartel. Some of them even left Maltese Space. You can try reaching to Senor Daguza Ecoas, my former Chief of Security. Perhaps, he can offer you some insight on the matters. De Motti are trickier. One of them vanished without a trace, leaving Maltese space. The other as far as I know is running family matters on Malta and is unlikely to get involved in another adventure. There was also a skilled fighter, Luis Torres. He also vanished without a trace. One of our former R&D divisions, "Navarro 5" seems to operate now independently as a small R&D company. Aside from Cartel members, you can try reaching to IRMM and their administration. From what I know, they are still operating.

As for the rogues and the dons, from what I have heard, most notable families support the position of Malta we preached when dealing with them, namely, that Orange Treaty lacks benefits for Malta and thus was considered null and void. There might be smaller dons who oppose, but usually just a short experience of dealing with the rogues convinces them otherwise.

As for the nomads, current standing is that we tolerate their presence outside of Maltese space, i.e. not actively hunt them. However, they are considered a threat and their presence within Maltese space is not tolerated and any incursions should be met with force and, if an entity does not leave our space, its immediate destruction.

As of now, I have no intentions to return to politics of Malta, at least not until I have rested from the headache it gave me and some people who cringe me disappear. Until then, you can give it a shot and try Maltese politics yourself. Such a circus can give a wide range of emotions. Wish you luck with that, should you undertake this path.

I hope this answers your questions.

Respetuosamente,
Hernan Luis Escudero Grijalva
Don of Cadiz-de-Malta
