Let me remind you of that planet in Omicron Minor that was kersploded even while two of the mightiest non-house forces in sirius was fighting to protect it.
And i think we all know, that gallians have NO way to counter a large nomnom revenge attack.
And it would definetively make liberty and ALL other houses move as MILLIONS of people would die in vain.
Without the cardamine of Malta, millions, maybe billions would die sirius wide within two weeks from withdrawal. Drug heads or not, such deathtolls would make any nation move and possible turn all the houses + nomnoms against gallia litterally "over night"....
for their own safety, its the worst they can do.
Well, it's often said that Keepers are merely remnants of the Nomads and do not have their former power, but these estimates are indeed... relative, I guess? And will Gallics take that into consideration when analyzing their further moves, i.e. do they have any info on outcast-nomad connections?
As for the levels of cardamine spread... billions of people? you sure it's THAT bad? And do Gallics know about that?
Because if it's so, commencing a covert strike on Malta is the best things Gallics can do, which will literally put Sirius Houses into chaos without knowing who exactly caused that.
The question is what exactly is required to significantly damage Malta's cardamine production capabilities, and how it can be delivered. Or, what is the maximum that Gallics can dream of achieving with that kind of tactic.
And yeah, since it's unlikely to (edit:)secretly deliver and drop few thousand nuclear warheads to totally take out Malta, due to Outcast scanners on Malta's orbit... I think those exist, right? Or some other security measures that prevent that? But then again, why then Houses can't prevent the flow of contraband/cardamine towards their planets, especially capital ones, if it's possible to cover whole orbit and monitor all incoming vessels? edit: not like you can take out whole Malta with just 1 transport loaded with nukes, but it'd definitely harm cardamine production to some, unknown, extent. Will depend on the ability to spread those nukes over terrain as much as possible, not blowing them up in one place.
