**Incoming Transmission from the Council of Dons**
Begin Transmission:
Fellow citizens of the Outcast Nation,
For many years we have struggled. From the early days centuries ago when our crippled sleeper ship The "Hispania" could move no more & settled us in Omicron Alpha, The discovery & colonization of the planet Malta, the hardships endured in the violent climate of our new planet, the curse our new home placed upon us, to the wars fought for years with those who abandoned us to drift in space. Yet we as a people have survived. We turned a bitter & desolate planet into a thriving entity filled with cities, commerce, fields flowing with the Orange Dream & our mighty production facilities. We have found ways to embrace our curse & turn into profit. To form vast shipping zones that distribute our products & bring us profits. And to form a grand navy to defend us from those seeking to destroy us. We as a people have survived & prospered. From unorganized chaos, to unity to better our own. Today my fellow Outcast, We step into the future.
As of Midnight this day, The Council of Dons officially steps aside & will dissolve it self to make way for the newly elected government. A government of the people, by the people, for the people.
A Government with true leaders, representatives & goals to keep us unified & to help us prosper into the future.
Our last act as the Council of Dons is to announce & warmly welcome theOutcast Commonwealth Government.

For Malta!
I see my retirement from the now-dissolved Council of Dons was the correct choice, else I'd be party to such nonsensical ideas. You claim that this nation has remained strong through all the hardships we've faced, and you're right. By why and how did we survive? Through the strong leadership of the Dons. Men and women of power in positions of power. People that weren't hesitant to use that power in the best interests of their family and nation. The entire populace of Malta owes their existence to the Dons.
And now how have we repaid eight centuries of strong and wise leadership? We strip the Don's power from them and turn our government into this.. This parody of the Bretonian Government. We have survived not by following the fickle wishes of the crowd, but by ensuring we had leaders who have been groomed their entire lives to be the leaders of our nations.
Now we have some ridiculous elected government subjected to the whims of popularity in deciding who is to lead us?
"A government of the people, by the people, for the people." That seems to be the exact same definition the United States government used back in Sol. And what happened to them? They were attacked, beaten, annihilated. Forced from Earth itself, until their only hope was to run. Run from the womb of Humanity for some randomly-chosen sector of space where we could start over.
Look at Liberty today. A corrupt government, their own citizens turned to piracy, rebellion, xenophobia, unemployment, and the list goes on. Do we want that happening to our own nation? Next thing you know, the extremists will be calling for the emancipation of our slaves!
You've taken a working and effective government led by the Dons, and replaced it with some bureaucratic nonsense. No longer are the Dons equal to each other. They aren't even equals to some popularity-grubbing commoners now. The Dons, men and women who have led this country well, are now second-rate civilians to the rabble. If you thought the power wars between the Dons was bad, imagine what will come with this new government. You risk civil war with this hair-brained scheme.
You're sense has taken leave of you if you persist with these ridiculous ideas.
Aye say we are strong because we are led by the strong men of action. The second we start voting and and worrying if our actions get us out of office we become weak as the nations we sell our beloved cardi to.
Aye say we cut this nonsense and put the resources and people you have devoted to this to thinking of a way to crush the Corsair maggots and to get the Liberty Navy and Police so deeply dependent on our orange gold that they beg for us to relieve their pain rather then destroy our transports.
Let the Libertonian fools have their liberty, let the Britonians have their ministers. Let us Outcasts have our Krackens and strong leadership not bent over the chair by "elections."
Hmm, Your fears are unfounded because,
These beloved Dons are actually the new ministers. Are you so foolish that you would believe that their long past of leading the Outcast Nation into what it is now would be forgot.
This government was formed by the very Dons you are questioning now, only to better our brothers in their fight for everything we are. This was hard for them, yes. But do you not see what this could do to better us? With this new government, we will be able to keep a much tighter hold and order on everything we do. From keeping our brothers in Alpha safe and under control, to spreading our Orange dream to places you and I would have never dreamed.
Yes Liberty was a failure, everyone in Sirius knows that. But amigos we are the Outcasts, we would not let that happen to us as well. Putting Liberty and the Dons in the same subject is a bloody insult to these very men and women you speak of.
This is the Dons way of including all of us, every Outcast alike in our affairs. So next time you get the urge to make an announcement of your opinion please amigos find out what you are speaking of.
More information from the new government will be transmitted soon. But please be patient. S.O.B Rear Admiral

Aye just don't want our dons heads wrapped around elections is all matie. Aye want them to ruthlessly apply the iron fist to our enemies and not worry about being unpopular.
Aye want all of liberty under our controll, not to emulate their gov.
It is true that the dons are in charge matie... what if a maggot of lies decides to challenge them without their filth uncovered? There is a reason we have dons. Fathers of our land, unrebukable and forts of stone in their seats matie.
I must say that...the Don's saying was the only way to keep some of the more ill mannered out around Malta in check. Your sudden departure may as well open the gates of hell as we know it....it happened to Gamma and a system called Minor. I beleive I am right to say this should not be allowed to happen to the Outcast Nation as well.
The fear from a group of the most powerful and influenced minds of the Outcast kind was indeed a good way to control the uncontrolable.
I have already been told that the RA traitors have been sighted in Alpha, transmitting odd codes and shooting eachother on Malta high orbit.

Citizens of The Outcast Commonwealth & Allied groups,
I am Councilman Varraco de la Vega, formerly of the Council of Dons, now a member of the Council of Ministers. I address you tonight via the old Council of Dons communications grid due to problems with our new office transmitter.
Although I can not give complete details at this time of the changes being made, I can assure you life as Outcast will for the most part remain as it has always. Just more unified & determined & with more rights to the children of Malta. We ask at this time for everyone to remain calm & be patient while we get our offices in order & some minor glitches resolved.
An announcement from the Council or the President shall follow soon. We thank you for your understanding & patience.
Respectively,
Varraco de la Vega
Councilman
Council of Ministers
Outcast Commonwealth
de la Vega: " now shut that damn thing off & wire into the new council chambers & bring me the idiot that decided to put that foreign crap in our office , I'm gonna rip him a new a "Transmission ends
Everything has its reasons, my dear Outcasts. From the sabotage of the Hispania, to the reforming of the Maltese govnerment. And I suppose that you, as Outcasts, have the right to know the reason behind this change. Well than, let's take a moment..
Incompetence. Arrogance. Slacking. And overall stupidity. This is what the former council was largely composed of. Some of your dons not knowing what to do in a crysis, or any situation. Using their title for all sorts of benefits outside of the actual Council, social and materialistic. Lazyness. Refusing to show up at called meetings or diplomatic discussions. Need I go on?
What has happened now is no reason to fear change. No reason to worry. Life for the regular Outcast will go on as smoothly as ever. But now, they need not fear the fact of Malta falling to a Corsair assault, because one of the Dons forgot his nuclear passcode. They need not fear rich plantation owners to claim that the govnerment is null on his land, so that those besides the slaves, become his personal propperty. They need not fear an injust or corrupt Navy. No.
All of these things, and so much more, will be exterminated. In time. And any comparison to nations that existed almost a millenia ago I find personally quite lauhgable. This is now. This is happening.
I and my crew fully support this action by the Council of dons, now council of Ministers.
And directed at who ever mentioned the RA -coughs at the word being mentioned- being back in Alpha.
Yes they are back, to prove their worth to the Outcast Commonwealth. But we will keep an closer eye on them and one mistake more and they will be hunted down and put to rest once and for all!
As to you two, who ever you are, not that I care: The ministers is in the position they are in cause they are the rulers of the Outcasts, they where before and is now as well. And you are not. Simple isn't it?
For Malta
For The Outcast Commonwealth
For the future!
