[color=#FF0000]A Brief History of Cardamine
Quote:The crippled sleeper ship Hispania arrived in Omicron Alpha almost 800 years ago. Its passengers named the planet Malta -- a harsh place of acidic oceans, gray skies, and vast plains covered in a species of tall, thin, orange grass. They later learned that the grass could be rendered into a narcotic substance, that they called Cardamine.
Eventually the Outcasts -- as they came to think of themselves -- began limited exploration of their system. As pilots wandered farther and farther afield in search of resources, many became seriously ill. Upon planetfall, the crews mysteriously recovered.
Doctors were baffled. By chance, they made a genetic scan of a critically ill pilot and made a startling discovery. His genetic codes had been altered. Outcast DNA contained strands identical to that of the orange grasses that covered the planet -- from which Cardamine was derived. Trace amounts were present in everything on the planet, from the air they breathed to the water they drank. Once pilots made lengthier journeys away from Malta, their bodies went into shock, followed by death.
The Outcasts were now truly separated from the rest of humanity -- changed so that they could never expand beyond the planet on which they had landed. They needed the Cardamine now, like air or food or water. But with the origin of the sickness solved, they could at least compensate by carrying supplies of Cardamine with them and resume their exploration of their surrounding systems.
When they encountered the rest of the Houses in the seventh century, a new strategy emerged. The Outcasts would deliver the poison that would rot the other Houses from the inside out and grow rich from the profits of their trade.
Today the Outcasts conduct a lucrative drug-smuggling operation using the network of Jump Holes to escape detection and transport their product into the heart of the House systems. The Outcasts remain relatively few in number; a crash in the birth rate seems to have been another side effect of their genetic modification.
A new development has been Cryer’s continued efforts to create a synthetic version of Cardamine that would be approved as a legal medication within Liberty. This poses a direct threat to the Outcasts' source of income. The Atka Research Station, with nearby access to Edge Nebula clouds, is the most immediate threat to the Outcasts. The location of the base within Corsair territory has brought the Outcasts into conflict with their ancient brethren.
[color=#FF0000]Our Mission [font=monotype corsiva][color=#FF9900]We, the Hundred and First Outcast Guard, pledge our blood to defend the orange grasses of Malta and the air our children breathe. We are the ramparts upon which the hordes will fling themselves and die; we are the shield and the breastplate that protects the true Children of Hispania. We are the sword and the spear upon which our foes, the fallen children of Crete and those who cannot embrace the Orange Light, shall draw their last breaths as they slide through their hearts.
[color=#FF0000][font=Mistral]This is Our Pledge. [font=Mistral][color=#FF9900]For The Orange Dream!
For You See...
[color=#FF0000][font=Monotype Corsiva]We are born out of the Chasm of the Razgriz Black Hole in Omicron-85.
We are the Knights of Malta, the Guardians of Outcast Space.
We are the Ghosts of Razgriz!
[color=#FF9900][font=Monotype Corsiva]We are not human because we had been given a gift and can see further into truth than any man. Human beings are infants dabbling in the loam of an expansive ocean that stretches beyond the horizon.
The Cardamine has let us see this.
We operate on a higher order of being. Many wonder why we take life so easily. It is because life is just a dream of what it really is. What human beings cherish is an illusion;
there is no such thing as death, only change.

[font=monotype corsiva]Obtaining Membership in the 101st
[color=#FF0000]If you think you have what it takes, if you think you have the skills and the honor to fly as 101st, contact one of us personally. If you do not know what characteristics we look for in our pilots then you may wish to think twice before applying. Due to a polarized conflict of interest players with Corsair characters are asked not to attempt to initiate contact.

Outcast Special Forces penetrated the ships outer hull and took command of her bridge, promptly turning her towards Malta before the Fantasia, then still a ship of the line in the BAF, turned her guns on the smaller craft)
[66th]MNS-Fantasia: Bretonian Battleship (Acquired as a burned-out wreck in 813 A.S. from the BAF ((very much under-the-table)) in exchange for a heavy sweep of the Omega-49 Corsair population. She was hauled back to Corsica and completely restored, a process which, in total, was approximately a sixth as expensive as shipping in the raw materials that would be required to construct a new Dreadnought or Battleship. She was originally designated as the Base of Operation for Outcast Special Forces; alas, due to extreme structural degradation the Battleship MNS Legacy had to be scrapped, and Fantasia has temporarily replaced her until the two replacements, Requiem and Longinus, can be constructed.)

Reapers of Sirius and Blue Lotus Syndicate craft are granted access to Omicron-85, excepting Corsica. All Capital Ships should remain out of Omicron-85 without providing 24 hours prior notice to the 101st, who must authorize the procedure. Escorts may be present.
Independent Outcasts in fighters or lower are granted access to Omicron-85, excepting Corsica.
IND are to be granted full access to Omicron-85, excepting Corsica, whom they should be under escort to dock with. Thank you for the flowers, Mr. Simon.
Independent transports should not be within Omicron-85.
<div align="center]All purchases of capital ships in Omicron-85 are hence subject to evaluation by the 101st and are likely to be reclaimed.

[font=monotype Corsiva]Anyone who can bring the 101st Tracy Lacy, preferably alive, will be awarded ten million credits. She can't seem to decide between her career as a reporter or a Bounty Hunter...she needs some persuasion.
There she is. Have at it, people, I'd like to improve this as much as I can, it's about time I go on a recruiting spree and I want to make it look purty.
