Buenos dias, legionarios,
Our decisive victory over the Crayterians in Tau-29 from last year has led to their capitulation to our demands, as some of you have already read (if not - see attachment 1). The National Council entered diplomacy with the Crayterians and have signed the treaty of Coronado (see attachment 2). While I doubt this peace would last much longer than the one we held with the Order before Golanski's attempt to take Omicron Beta, it is a good opportunity to focus our current efforts elsewhere as the cardamine trade should now pass freely through Coronado without any hostilities from the Crayterians. Of course, if any Crayterians attempt any hostilities against any legionnaire or Maltese pilot, you are, of course, encouraged to give them the tachyon treatment.
Corsair activity has also diminished in their Omicron sphere of influence as they have focused their efforts on the now weakened and falling Bretonia. Furthermore I have received news of them cooperating with the Gallic Royal forces against the people of Bretonia and their allies. While I doubt the Bretonians see us as more than just a valuable ally against the Gallic Crown at the moment, it is still in our best interest to ensure the Gallic Royal Navy doesn't successfully win this campaign as it would only be a matter of time before they turn their attention towards Malta, especially now that they have joined forces with the Cretans.
Another possible enemy that we should be vigilant of is the group known as MOA (Maltese Opposition Army) that has shown interest in overthrowing the current Maltese powers. To my knowledge they have not yet acted directly against Malta, but from the conversations I held with some of their pilot it seemed like only a matter of time. Zoners have claimed seeing them cooperate with the Corsair group of Apostas. Of course, if this is confirmed as truth, they would be in treason against Malta. Until that is proven though, I would rather that we do not initiate any hostilities as of yet.
Lastly I would like to extend a late, but warm nonetheless, welcome to the former pilots and crewmen of the Serenissima that have volunteered to join our ranks aboard the warships Saint Theodore and Saint Mark. I'm sure you've already fit well into the Legion and are eager to prove yourselves as valuable members. Together I am sure we would be able to secure the future Malta and it's people deserve!
