It's been a while since I delivered any news personally. While I'm aware you've received plenty of updates about my strike group's status and location, I desire that you hear these news from me and not from others.
As you're aware, our campaign in Dublin yielded little results. All we've managed to achieve is to rally together a bunch of our enemies, namely the Mollys, Coalition and the IMG. While I adore the fact that all of those perros have to band together to face the might of the Empire, it puts a heavy strain on us and our resources. It's not something we can afford, especially with the costly front in Omicron Theta.
While most of the Deterrence assets have pulled out of Dublin, strike group Perdition has remained put to provide support to the Santander. Little has been achieved, but at least the front was stabilized. Now I see an opportunity at hand. Lately there's been an increase in Corsair raids in Dublin and Bretonia by a small group called the Black Sails. So far, their main focus is to plunder much needed resources and ship them back to Crete in order to refill the Empire's coffers.
I'm still dedicated to the task I've set myself upon and will continue to do so. With my crew sharing the same views as I do, we decided to band together with the Black Sails, in order to continue our work there. Their ruthlessness inspires me, and their focus on plundering will greatly benefit the Empire in the long run. While Bretonia falls the Empire rises.
For the sake of our history, I do hope you find this understandable, even if only by a tiny bit. This area of space has been left unchecked for a long while, and the efforts made by the Santander and its heroic crew must not go to waste.
