[color=#FFFF00]On the orders of Commandante Rhade, I picked up one of the new Partisan Interceptors from Gorodok and proceeded to Bretonia and the Tau's. We have long known of the extent of the Gallic threat, however in one fell swoop our fears have been realised.
The Colonial Republic have been forced to move themselves to the Coronado system as the Gallics have cut through the TAU systems with minimal resistance. In addition, the Edinburgh system has fallen to the Gallics.
Bretonia now finds itself completely hemmed in the Leeds system, although they have been able to secure both jumpgates to Tau-31 and Edinburgh for now. It seems they have an unlikely ally in the Kusarians as they have moved their battleship to Stokes mining station, which is now under administration by BMM.
I would advise extreme caution when moving up through the Tau's now. The Gallics are everywhere.
We also have a small rodent problem closer to home, with the Reapers of Sirius being mere system jumps away from our home system. However I will file a separate report for that at a later stage. For now, all pilots are to study these pictures intently and fully equip Partisan Light Fighter Interceptors. They are quite simply, the only way to scout.
