• Subject: Outcasts are bleeding, we must act!
Saluti,
It sounds like the tides are turning in our favor. With the Outcasts weakened and Cardamine in short supply, our opportunity to expand our influence across Sirius has never been better. The Corsairs' bold move in taking over a Zoner Freeport in Theta shows the chaos in the region and our chance to capitalize on it. They are pressuring the Outcasts, and I have lent a helping hand!
With the Outcasts facing internal strife - there are rumours of slave uprisings, our path to dominance seems clearer than ever. Nox might not be as addictive or lethal as other drugs, but its appeal lies in the good times it offers. We can position ourselves as the suppliers of choice, filling the void left by the struggling Outcasts.
Let's seize this moment, expand our reach, and become the new power players in Sirius. With strategy and cunning, we can infiltrate the markets the Outcasts are forced to abandon, establishing ourselves as the go-to source for the coveted substances the galaxy craves.
In Corsican, we say
"À a vittoria è à l'avvene" - To victory and to the future. Let's make our mark on Sirius, the time is now!

Saluti, fratelli è sorrelli,
It is with great excitement, that we share that Tracii Draco has been promoted to the rank of Intermédiaire| ⁂, for her continued devotion to the Corsican cause.
It is also with great pleasure to announce to you all that Tracii Draco is now a Recipient of the Medaglia di Bravura or Medal of Bravery, the second highest award.
Bona caccia, Intermédiaire.
On a less clamoring manner, the Spulsione Squadron will be redesigned to align with the current threats on our home turf. We are also implementing a unique recruitment method for pilots interested in hunting the Maltese throughout Sirius. Another squadron is in the works, contingent upon our needs, so be prepared for any future message from High Command.

Saluti, fratelli è sorrelli,
It is with sadness, but with resolution that this decision has been passed by the Corsican High Command.
Despite years of loyal service, Capitaine, then demoted to Acolyte, has been excommunicated from the Unione Corse, your behavior lately has been questionable, and a new issue which, despite you denying your involvement, of stealing silver ore from a mining operation from IMG, while the Unione Corse started carrying out a diplomatic mission for the population of Provence; you have decided to go A.W.O.L., instead of simply accepting the demotion, like any made man. Disappointing and cowardly behavior, gets rewarded, proportionally.
Gracefully, you can keep your own personal ships. However, please remove at once all signs of affiliation to the Unione Corse (//OOC: remove the tag from your Corse ships, and the official IDs from your ships, and do not use the shared ships.), to thank you for your services to the Unione Corse.
However, you are hereby excommunicated from the Unione Corse.

Bonghjornu,
Pierre Allard here,
It's been a while, I am glad to announce I have returned to Gallic controled provinces and I am making my way back to base with some praticular finding of the strange anomaly I have studied when I were absent, I have seen that we had made a huge progress. I am glad that our goals were achieved. When the time will come. We shall start to push the gears once again.

• Subject: Return; a briefing
Saluti, fratellu mio,
Indeed, my brother, lots of progress have occurred. We have also maintained Provence as the top touristic destination, and have maintained a policy of welcoming anyone, and anything, that isn't a capital ship, or staging military operation; our Corse brothers charged of upholding our Code in Provence are aware of this. We need to make a licensing office too, since certain commodities are only restricted, and the industry present in orbit, such as the GMS Modular Bases, must be using them. We must allow them to operate unimpeded. Though now, it is in the grey zone of the law. We will work on it, step by step. No need to run.
Loss of "Lucien Sarti" amongst the Unione Corse
My brother, you should also be aware of the betrayal, pathetic mockery, and eventual return of the "Spulsione Squadron", which is now the SOFP and their leader, formerly Capitaine, now-excommunicated Lucien Sarti, "Special Operations Forces of Provence", the regular, lawful military arm of the Provence system. It was already the case before, but it has indeed been fully reorganized ever since the traitor - Lucien Sarti, has been demoted, but threw a ridiculous tantrum that got him excommunicated from the Unione Corse and the Families. Instead, he went and stole more than a dozen ships, with the help of another Corse brother - however, the other brother has shown himself to be smarter, and the ships have been returned.
They are now being completely dismantled, then refurbished, and finally repaired, with their weaponry replaced - all this to make sure they weren't tampered with. Thank God for the berth number 12 on Monaco Base and berth number 4 on Monte Cinto Station, where the initial scanning of the ships happened. This berth number 12, designed for this kind of work - 100% proof to all types of radiation, including radio, light, etc. - nothing can go out, or go in., so any communication will stay in this berth. Our engineer team have installed all kinds of equipment inside and outside of the ships. Nothing came up, no readings, no dB, nothing have gone up from any of these ships; these ones who stole these ships could've stole bugged ships, they wouldn't have noticed, and we would've have had them on radar 24/7!
Anyway, they will soon be ready, and be redeployed. Right now, the SOFP is using the previously-mothballed ships. I had a brief talk with this brother, and I believe he will join the SOFP. As for the traitor, I made it clear that he was excommunicated here, and stopped all communication with him. A shame. He was promising. The worst part I think was that he received a promotion the same day. Well, what can you do.
Monte Cinto Station expansion, publicization and employement
Anyway, Monte Cinto Station will soon be open to the public, and the newest addition to the station will also be fully operational. The module is not public yet, but I estimate it will be completed either tonight or tomorrow, and ready to operate this week, and the station will be fully public Wednesday maybe. All of this will make Monte Cinto Station our headquarters in the industry sector, as it employs full-time 400 people, and we look forward to expanding it even further so it can employ 600 people, and I believe at least 100 scientists.
Expansion
As for the rest, I have attempted to contact GMS about their Toulon Mining Station, as the field is emptying fast, and, as the government of Provence, we need to diversify monetary entries, and I don't want to implement a tax, and this will not happen, we will do anything else, than violate one of our core principles of Provence - for the Modular Bases that are present here, such as the one of GMS; and thus, monetary entries that aren't, the usual, such as tourism, or the export of luxury consumer goods, luxury food, or, other goods. Alfredo chuckles for a bit... Ahem.
Hogosha and Kusari IFF fixing post-war
Anyway, I'm glad to see you here. Remember when we started getting back on dealing with the Hogosha? Capitaine Salvatore, our oldest Capitaine, and the main Capitaine of our oldest l'Ane, was arrested in a system far from Gallia or Kusari, and was pirated. We need to finish the dealings with the Hogosha, and use this as a gateway to get our reputation with Kusari back to baseline - I am not a fan of having to explain, or have to brief our pilots when they encounter Kusarian pilots, that we are not in war, and that it is simply the IFF between the Unione Corse - between Provence, and Kusari, that were not updated ever since the end of the war; meeanwhile, all other factions, even the military, are not hostile with Kusari.
Merchant Navy of Provence
Oh, by the way, we have a new branch that is dedicated to trade; the Merchant Navy of Provence (MNoP), the head is Intermédiaire Tracii Draco. Alfredo nods Indeed, we grew. Here, so you can read up on the Merchant Navy. And finally, we have opened the reception of diplomatic missions from other factions and Houses; right now, we have the Independent Miners Guild, but we look forward to open up even more, I am thinking about the Crayter Republic, since we became far more legitimate and official, we can discuss diplomatically and officially, instead of through discreet meetings, as we are, and have been close allies for very long, even before our own rise.
If you can get it on, tell me, my brother. Regardless; welcome back fratellu mio. Let's drink some champagne, wine, or anything - I pay, you drink, my brother, on Monaco Base, after I'll show you the recovered SOFP ships that are undergoing refurbishment, repairs and analysis. And you'll tell me what you think, of all that happened!
