recently, several of our transport captains, including even myself, have faced trouble with a certain group which appears to belong to the Corsairs, allthough they do not openly state their origin. They group in question call themselves "Sails", and are openly attacking and robbing Samura transports heading to Crete, making the supply of your beloved people increasingly dangerous. Making the run through the Omegas and Sigmas is risky in itself, but we always could rely on you as our ally. Now, are my captains supposed to evade the Hessians, Outcasts and now also the Corsairs themselves when supplying... The Corsairs?
I think you understand, this is a serious issue for us. We wish to continue our trade with your nation, but you must ensure the safety of our workers so we can continue bringing in the much needed foreign goods to Crete.
I have left you my personal experiences in the attachements below. But note that is is just one of several incidents. Get this group under control!

[07.04.2024 12:02:37] Samura|-Mito.Maru: Izumi: We are not going to pay unneccesarily for delivering Platinum for your shipyards.

Elder Nina Rodriguez representing The Brotherhood. I must say I did not expect to receive a notice stating a group of Corsairs attacking Samura's vessels. It is indeed quite the issue.
According to some old files I had read, it appears the Black Sails, along with The Brotherhood and Benitez Familia, were a huge part of making the first step towards such a good partnership between you and our empire. It is quite concerning they decided to turn back on what they did many years ago.
We will look into the issue and give you a notice about what we got, until then, we suggest you to take a detour from Omegas to Sigmas. We are aware it will take more time to deliver materials and needs, but it is the most suitable option we found.

Saludos, Samura.
I have to say that is always good to have contact with a commercial partner like Samura, we both care about our, business.
Never the less, we can't let this go without a proper investigation, by the proves you shown us of the ships communications that really looks like a Sails identification and in a Corsair. That is concerning, we will investigate what happened here so the supplies you deliver to us, make it to Crete.
Buenos dias.
