"Unfortunently he could not make it due to technical failures on his ship he was stuck at ibiza so we will need to leave him out of this one i am afraid."
Willow sighed. At least they got enough men on board to make policy. Such a shame...things had gone downhill once Don Pryde and Lord Fokke disappeared.
"Right then, gentlemen, shall we depart? I've got word from Miguel, he's extremely busy, but he might fly in in his Saber if the paperwork gets done in time." He tapped his comm. "Helm, plot a course for Corsica. I'll tell when to begin."

Alright, we can get started. The first issue is the organization of the defence of Alpha. We are daily getting raided by the corsairs and there allies. We need to get this organized to adaquitly defend our home. Anyone wish to start out?

"yes it is one of our most important points being brought up tonight in my opinion. my men have been reporting to me being attacked and outnumbered countless times on my leave. it is rather distressing to find that the silly IMG have been out fighting my men as of late due to lack of man power on our side at the times of siege"
Gives off a loud sigh
"and the corsairs as everyone know them are famous for they're "raids" when our system is vitrtually defenceless. I would personally call them cowardly acts of false heroism. i personally will be upping RoS recruitment and getting our men on a constant patrol to the height of our ability to try and stomp down such cowardly acts, but i am afraid that will still not be enough to protect our glorious system"
drums his fingers violently while puffing on his cigarette
Don Roberto Rastapopoulos spoke;
"La mia organizzazione ? soprattutto economica, non specificamente dedicato a difesa ed alla guerra domestiche. Tuttavia, attualmente effettuiamo il destroyer 2 ed uno di loro presto sar? scartato per fare la stanza per il progetto Onassis. Allora, con il Fantasia, dovremmo potere respingere gli assalti della nave dello snub. Gli assalti capitali richiederanno lo sviluppo di nuovo tipo di bombardiere, uno prodotto su Malta o Ibiza o Ruiz.
L'invasione della Renania dai Corsairs se li permette un tempo importante colpire, nel mio parere. Propongo che un assalto unito sia cavo sull'alfa di Omicron, mentre ancora abbiamo il momento di colpire!" My organization is primarily an economic one, not specifically dedicated to home defense and war. However, we currently maintain 2 destroyer and one of them shall soon be discarded to make room for Project Onassis. Then, along with the Fantasia, we should be able to repel the snub ship assaults. The capital assaults will require the development of a new type of bomber, one manufactured on Malta or Ibiza or Ruiz.
The invasion of Rheinland by the Corsairs affords us a valuable time to strike, in my opinion. I propose that a joint assault be lead upon Omicron Gamma, while we still have the time to strike!
Willow prepared; this was the time to make his proposal. He tapped his comm. "Mia, we're ready. Commence passage to Corsica. Out."
He steepled his fingertips in front of his face. "Gentlemen, raids are all fine and nice, but we need to look at the big picture more. We don't have a truly organized military; what we have is a group of several small warlords without a plan. Obviously, merging all our organizations is out of the question, but we need to come up with a much, much better system for preparing defenses and organizing raids. To that end, I motion that we form something of a Confederacy."
He stood. Time to make a heavier impression.
"We can continue as independent entities, and we can make formal declarations of war as a whole, but for specific situations we have a centralized unit with respectable power to scramble and organize a much greater number of ships at a moment's notice. I believe this will make combating the incursions of the Colonials so much more effective, and, more importantly, we will be able to take the war on the Traitors to their home ground and consistently strike in force at Crete and Tripoli."
He swelled with joy. If this went through, oh the things it would do for Malta...
"We are currently stalemated; we have better pilots and ships, and they have waves upon waves of gun fodder to throw upon us. The only similarity is this: we are both disorganized. If we can attack as a whole, we can at last pound our foes into their graves where they belong!"
Upon the word 'Graves' he slammed his fist into the table. There. Emphasae et Extremis.
"Thank you." He calmly dropped into his seat. There. A great weight had flown from his chest...

"this my friends is what i like to hear a man with the guts to come up with a radical idea such as this. if we where to join our forces on a larger scale not with name but with a common bond TO WHIPE OUT ALL OF OUR ENEMIES!
Slamming his hand to the table
lets off a loud venting sigh
"to keep our casualties to a minimum should be our number one priority. being able to scramble Outcast forces from each corner of the border systems to assist in any given raid on our glorious home would make the protection of our people alot easier. it would also increase our victory's by the millions as willow said. we have more skillful pilots but the sheer number of cannon fodder that our enemies the corsairs overwhelm our forces 2/1"
Stands up
"i say we bring this plan into action for the good of all of our houses"
sits back down and lets off yet another sigh one of relief
Lope waits for Lohingren and then begins to speak;
"Wipe out our enemies? Well, you have fun with that then, but I wouldn't suggest it. The 101st are here to defend Alpha and Omicron 85, notice why we never join you on your 'raids'. Instead, we defend. If you wish to destroy our enemies, then create an defenses to keep them out of our home first!"
Lope waits for any replies from the Dons and continues;
"How do you expect to send our raids if our Shipyard is lost? How do you plan to send out 'raids' without a base of operations to set off with? How do you want to send our 'raids' if you have no one to send!?"
Create a defense, keep the enemies OUT of our home before even thinking of attacking them. Because without a defense, we have no chance at any offensive plans."
Willow looked Lope's holo dead in the face and replied. "No need to get hostile, Lope, that's one of the tenets. The 101st are the oldest and by far the best of Malta's warriors, hence they should stay and defend her. I propose that within Alpha, the authority of the 101st supersede other entities, because they are already almost completely dedicated to defense and that only. It has always been good military sense to keep a force at home to defend from treachery, and that is the role I see the Ghosts as already fulfilling, and the one they should continue to fill. Let the rest of us organize assaults; the Ghosts should do what they do better than all of us."
