Cardamine resurgence: Ever since the revolt that impacted the lives of all Outcasts, including us, we've survived and adapted, even when things looked dire enough to warrant direct action. I was assigned to quell the numerous uprisings that occurred across Malta's plantation fields. Now, thanks to our perseverance, the Outcasts are looking stronger than ever. Despite the numerous threats ranging from the noxious Corsicans and Liberty's forces, I am proud to report the arrival of one of our Cardamine-filled barges to its destination in Pennsylvania, despite encountering a sizable Liberty Navy force, which was repelled by our brave warriors. Nothing will stop our trade, even the slaves that revolted against our rule.

Situations unfolding: Right now, things are heating up in the Omicron Theta system. As of this writing, I've heard it to be some kind of an arms race between us and the Corsairs, our ancient rival. The Legión Maltesa right now is not quite that active, as me and other fellow Legionnaires have been preoccupied on peacekeeping of various plantations of Planet Malta, to ensure that the revolt that happened two years ago won't repeat and ruin our homeworld, though on a few occasions I have been sent to space whenever a large Corsair fleet threatens our interests. I wonder if I could convince the other Legionnaires to act should the situation escalate into a conflict, but right now I have little interest in doing so.
