Where to start... First off would be the slave rebellion. The Guild has been quietly supplying the slaves trapped on Malta with both supplies and armaments, which enabled them to launch a full-blown rebellion against the Outcasts. The attack caught the Outcasts off guard, giving us and the Crayter Republic the opportunity to attempt a takeover of the space above Malta. Unfortunately, the Outcasts managed to reorganize and strengthen their defense fleet with reinforcements from Omicron Theta, forcing our combined forces out of the system. However, not before we, alongside the rebels, succeeded in damaging Malta's infrastructure, forcing the Outcasts to focus on internal matters for three years, which resulted in a massive Cardamine shortage across the sector.
In the aftermath of the rebellion, the shortage of Cardamine caused countless deaths due to withdrawal symptoms. Many of those affected needed an alternative, and as you're already aware, that alternative became stabiline. According to Cryer, the drug was supposed to solve the withdrawal issue. However, what isn't often mentioned is that stabiline doesn't always work. There are many such cases, with one of the most high-profile being that of a famous pop singer from Liberty—though her name escapes me at the moment.
We in the Guild feel a responsibility to warn you about the potential failure of stabiline in treating addiction among your members. It may not be the guaranteed solution it's made out to be.
With respect
