*A group of shadowed figures appear, they speak as one; male, female, and machine*
We are the Concensus of the SELF. The Governing body. We have talked with several 101st Units, and came in contact with a: Brand Garrison. We wish to inquire of him, or other High Council members, as to open the Exchange of Commodities between our two communities.

Buenos dias; the Nacion is always willing to talk. However, as I have said we have had poor experiences dealing with AI in the past. By necessity, any dealings between us will take time to build trust. Any information about your group would be appreciated so that we know whom we are dealing with. You are welcome in Outcast space with the exception of Omicron 85; that system is forbidden.
The SELF is not entirely..."self" sufficient. All communities partake in resources, and therefore the need arises for trade. Our Front requires many resources. But since WE are here to supply YOU, I ask what resources the Maltese require. We have two transports standing by to deliver any commodities, if you accept.
Ah, you may want a reason, yes? Well, simply, we need resources too. But to show...a sense of initial trust. We will deliver to your needs first.

RE: Trade
Greetings. As we are far from the established trade networks, we do not get as much shipping traffic as we would like. If you wish to form routes to Outcast space, we are more than happy to help. Since we are far from everything, we need most everything. The best way for you to establish what is needed is to visit the places you plan to ship and discuss it with the quartermaster or supply department; every installation has different needs. To get you started however, Malta imports alloy (super and basic), silver, platinum, superconductors, optical chips, and of course standard food, water, and consumer goods. Of course, with your background the easiest thing for you to supply may be robotic components. If you have any questions or concerns, let us know.
This Unit will flag our trade vessels, and begin transfer of necessities in a few Solar Cycles. The SELF will need time to accumulate the necassary materials.
