Just in a few coming decades, all nations of the Omicrons will face growing pressure of the major Houses of Sirius. Colonization of the closest Border Worlds will complete entirely and deep Omicron and Omega systems will naturally become the next target. We don't know if there are actual plans in motion on the Houses' side, but there are a lot of objective factors of that exploration and colonization to come. House that is clearly having plans of excessive colonization is Bretonia. Even in the darkest hour of Gallic invasion of New London, the Bretonian Crown have annexed bordering Omega systems. It was not so long ago when BMM was making it's way into Tau-23, getting close to borders of Maltese Hispania. There's no reason to believe that Bretonia would act differently in Taus than it did in Omegas. Only full-scale Gallic invasion have prevented looming war between Maltese Hispania and Bretonia. Breatonian Crown may see cheap colonial resources as one of the fast ways to recover from the long war effort. Those were the reasons why I was skeptical about any long term alliance between Bretonia and Maltese Hispania.

In Sigmas we can see a quite similar situation. Rheinland and Kusari are pushing to colonize the sector and to eventually topple down local power of the GMG. Diplomatical and military strategy against GMG will likely to be used against the Omicronis Government in Nauru in the future. At the early stages, Core is most likely to fend off the aggression, similarly to 80-years war between GMG and Rheinland. As the theatre of operations will be favoring the defenders greatly. Same can be said about Hispania. Rheinland has eventually ceased the war, only keeping up with hybrid aggression. Economic warfare and low-intensity war, mostly done by the hands of Kruger. Slowly theatre of operations advantage would be leveled down, as infrastructure will develop and star maps improved.

Another practical example that is proving my point would be the invasion of Omicron Xi by the Rheinland Military. We are having systematic attempts by the major Houses to advance into more and more distant sectors. And yet again we can see a temporary success by the Corsairs. There may be many attempts and many failures, but eventually, local powers in their quality as of now will fall. Yes, naturally Crete is a failed kin of Hispania, but they will become just yet another piece in this Domino effect.

To sum this up, all theories about Houses to be busy enough with internal conflicts and inter-House wars are false. As despite truly titanic war effort and losses, further colonization attempts are not stopping. It can, in fact, work the other way around. More war and conflicts Houses would face, more resources and opportunities to grow they will try to find in distant systems.

What do Governments on Malta and Nauru have to realize, is that they share the same fate. Same challenges, same opportunities and the same ways to live through the centuries to come. Despite the differences in culture, governing style or current temporary interests. Because in the end, if separated, both governments will face the same downfall from the hands of the greatest powers in Sirius sector. We can make a prognosis and develop different scenarios of things going from this point if Omicron political landscape is not changing dramatically. Most positive one will be long term and less bloody. I've mostly worked on the negative scenarios of forceful colonization. But colonization can be peaceful. With lots of people and money from the Houses just washing us out like a tsunami. By the outcome, the most positive and most negative scenario will lead to our downfall. Despite holding massive space, we are in fact tiny.

It is absolutely necessary for Malta and Nauru to build a common vision of the future. To act together in order to pursue the common goal to secure the independence of our nations. It is important that the resources we get are being invested correctly. The task is the build the power in Omicrons that will have economic and military potential to stand against any possible enemy.

At first, we will need to clean our own home, the Omicrons, from the terrorists of the Order and barbarians from Crete. I propose the following occupation zones once the enemy is dealt with. I will not elaborate much on military strategy. Clearly, both parties are having famous admirals, generals and military specialists on their side. That should be their job.

The weakest link is obviously the Order. Having a poor supply base that would be easy to cut off and isolate their main forces. With coordinated attacks from the upper and central Omicrons, it would be a matter of time before their defenses will break down. We are unlikely to destroy the Order as an organization, but their enclave in Omicrons has to be dealt with and will be put to an end.

With Corsairs, there's a need to apply a very well dosed pressure. Here we will be on the race with Rheinland. Grand Prix in this race will give a winner chance to secure the main strategic points and a chance to establish the control the over Corsair systems in the end. I believe that the best way is to slowly push them back, while not really taking the major advance until the time is right. The slow and steady advance will not attract Corsair main forces, but all will let us get close to Crete and other key locations in order to make a decisive strike before Rheinlanders do. For that, we will need the best intelligence agents both within Rheinland Military and Crete. One of the priorities is to isolate new potential Rheinland expedition in Xi with Omicronis forces and block their any further advance.

Another method to counter Rheinland threat is to covertly cooperate with the Hessian Army. The best outcome would be the socialist revolution in the Rheinland. This will cause many conflicts in Sirius and hopefully distract them for the two dozen years or more. Maltese Hispania is having some old contacts with Hessians, I was even meeting Anna Heinrich myself. So this is within the realm of possibilities.

Until we have a possibility of territorial expansion, conflicts between Omicronis and Maltese Hispanian elites are unlikely. Everyone will be getting their new resources and the space to grow. By the time Omicronis and Maltese Hispania will secure the Omicrons, efforts need to be done in order to integrate two systems. Joint cultural, economic and other events have to be held regularly. In the end, money and power that Omicronis and Hispanian elites will be able to reach together will truly unite them. Both systems are willing to secure elite superiority in their societies. The difference only lies within certain methodology and aesthetics. But I insist that there's no essential conflict, both societies are deeply elitist.

With common population, things will be a bit more varied. As we will have different categories of them. People who are used for the forced labor on Malta and any other foreigner should have been worked with. Despite working on Maltese interest, those people are not friends of Malta and won't die for it. I would suggest elaborating on ideology and propaganda for the lowest classes of Malta. People need a greater motive to live. Some would go for any foreign employee within the Core, though the situation with propaganda in Omicronis is a bit better.

Zoners are no friend of the Houses, which makes them our natural ally of some sort. Zoner societies are quite unstable and chaotic. But as long as they refuse any House rule in their mind and following the laws established by Malta and Nauru, they are making a good cooperative material to work with. In the end, they make the population of the Omicrons grow. And their children would call Omicrons their home. And who would not fight to protect their home? Core and Maltese forces are better to present themselves as protectors from inevitable control by the House governments. Omicrons are likely to see more waves of Zoner immigration, as Zoners will be pushed out of systems that are closer to major Houses. A most recent example of that is obviously a crisis of Gran Canaria.

Foreign companies should be strictly put under a local set of law. It is highly forbidden to bring any House jurisdiction to the Omicrons, even a corporate one. Omicrons are in much need of industrialization, but if keeping local Jurisdiction is a stake, any partnership should be cut out.

To develop a common trust and help with the demographic situation, I suggest the Omicronis bio labs research a possible cure for the Maltese genetic disorders. Birthrate problem is probably the direst crisis that Maltese Hispania is facing at the moment. If it could be helped, it might very well become a symbol of unification.

On foreign scene, both parties have incredible diplomatic tools to work with. Wide diplomatic network of Omicronis is letting to get many investments and to have a great manipulation opportunity in the future. Maltese Hispanian Cardamine network is now covering most of the Sirius. Converting into soft and hard power, and allowing to raise a lot of funds. Maltese 'pirate' coalition is having great potential to grow. I believe that Malta should spread destructive, for the Houses ideologies. As well as arming and organizing pirates in proper paramilitary units. Being hard work for decades, this will surely pay off, when or if the enemy shall come to our home. Active allied paramilitary with radical political agenda in the enemy rear will ease the situation on our fronts. And should they ever succeed, we could possibly receive a puppet, dependent on Cardamine government. The synergy of Hispanian and Omicronis diplomatic schools may bring very convincing results.

If this plan is to be applied as the basic one, we will manage to build up the strong, powerful and self-sufficient Omicrons. I believe our specialists are capable of developing and elaborating this basic concept into a much more detailed and practical plan of actions. Ancient legacy of Hispania and futuristic projects of the Omicronis would have a chance to live and prosper at a much larger scale than before.
