Hola, Respected Maltese,
I regret only that I cannot leave Gran Canaria to deliver this personally due to a sever family illness but I didn't want to leave this matter untouched.
I received a report from one of my own, Popess Concordia, of a meeting she had with two MNS warships near Freeport 10. She was asked about Zoner juggernaughts opening fire on Outcasts warships. I find this as disturbing as you do. Trust me when I say that.
I also apologize to the offended captains of those ships as from the log I received, they felt disrespected by Concordia. Please understand that while she is a good member of my faction, she also has the mind of a playful child.
I want Malta to know that TAZ does not condone the use of such ships in an offensive manner. I purposely limit how many of them we have in our own inventory, none of which are to be used for more than defense of our home system or as a research or medical vessel such as my Med.Force ships.
I have been requested on many occasions to authorize the sale of these ships to certain people. I'm very simple about this. The Jinkusu is sold far from Baffin in Omicron 74. It is for that reason that I usually refer the sale of those ships to the Omicroners. As I understand it, they too are pretty strict on their sale.
As neighbors of the Outcasts, I don't wish to see tensions between our people escalate. We trade with Freeports in the Taus and don't wish to be under fire by angry Maltese captains. If you have a problem with one of my people, please, let me know and send me the evidence is all I ask.
Lastly, I would like to remind the Maltese of TAZ's long standing symbol of neutrality, the Baffin SuperHighway. Not once have we stopped Malta's cardamine trade through it or slave trade despite the many times House authorities or other opposing groups have begged me to shut it down.
So please, let me know how I can assist with this matter.
Most respectfully,
Dr. John Henry Holliday

Buenas dias, Doctor Holliday. Yes, I have received reports of Zoner warships attacking some of our Captains; however I do not hold you or the Zoners in general responsible. I am quite aware of how difficult it is to keep certain ship commanders in line. This is one reason why warships that are not captained by Outcasts are not permitted to linger in our home system; the capacity for trouble is too great. While we have had our....differences with the Omicroners I have no evidence that this attack was premeditated or condoned by them. Without further intel on the attack, we will treat it as random and the incident closed.
We have always had good relations with your group and would like that to continue. You and yours seem to be exactly as you say: neutral. People who strive to actually do as they say are all too rare in Sirius, and we would not ruin that relationship by the stupidity of a few. If there is anything the Outcasts can do for you, do not hesitate to ask.
