Fix Cardamine

[Sombs]

True, the only mention of slavers was related to LPI, which lead to the entire slavery being a thing in Discovery, especially for Malta, because of the side-effect of Cardamine being the drastically reduced birth rates - something that was mentioned in vanilla. The Dons of Malta were involved in all kinds of black market activities, for example the import of Daumann weapons via Kreuzberg in Rheinland or the import from bretonian weapons via Trafalgar. While it wasn't a thing in vanilla, it was a quintessential thing in Discovery. But as it were, another case of new management, new lore.

Now we are looking at a slave rebellion of slaves that wanted to leave Malta so desperately that they forgot that they can barely survive without it, thanks to the Cardamine.

Outcasts have lower birthrates, but they haven't died out in the past eight centuries despite living in the Omicrons and fighting with like 90% of Sirius, so their population is clearly above replacement rate. One might say that they even thrived. I guess their longevity also helps with this if their population is fertile for far longer. So, they aren't dying out or anything, just people in the Colonies or on Crete breed like rabbits.

One might look on the slavery as an experiment how to increase their population counts, but importing captive people who clearly hate or fear you isn't the best solution for this, nor the best idea.

To be fair, Outcasts only made contact with the rest of Sirius in the seventh century, so their big conflicts started rather late in the game.
