Welcome to Kherty's BBCode Proving Grounds. This is where I will test various things, Please do not mind, I am using this as a tool for roleplay purposes. And please, naturally, leave this be. Thank you very much for your cooperation. I will post about five posts so i can edit these and leave them be. As others do, so will I. I find it very useful, and could be a good exercise in writing in general, as I am rusted in general.

The objective is to determine a good, readable BBCode for each project. And projects will also be developed here.

Cheers.

Bonghjornu! (Greetings!)

Please read this document carefully.

The Provence System (Système Provence) is a large, beautiful system within the Gallic Border Worlds, with its own sets of laws and dedicated law enforcement.

The trade lanes and the region around Planet Marseille and the Monte Carlo Freeport are considered safe pathways and safe zones. Currently, (as of 2nd of Oct.), the Toulon Mining Base is restricted only to GMS vessels due to live fire exercises (LFX) performed in the region around the base.

The Mer Méditerranée is a large nebula comprising almost half of the system's Galactic East and is one of the main touristic attractions of Provence.
However, note that the safety within the nebula is not guaranteed, and that entry beyond the initial 10K of the nebula is prohibited unless a license has been requested from the Unione Corse, which can be requested here.

The Provence System is also, as described by the Code of Provence, a demilitarized system. Neutrality is a principle upheld by the Government of Provence and by the Unione Corse. By default, the neutrality means that many actors, such as VNSA (Violent Non-State Actor(s)) hostile to the Gallic Union can access Provence - this is obviously unacceptable as the Provence System also forbids any kind of use of the installations and Marseille as a staging point against Provence and its subordinate forces, the Unione Corse, or the Gallic Union in general.
However, periodic, or temporary (less than a week) exceptions after rigorous examination of the mission of a ship that is not accepted, can be accepted by the PCCL, which can and needs to be requested here. Frigates are not forbidden.

There are currently three types of exceptions/licenses.

MMJH - Mer Méditerranée Jump Holes Authorization — This license is valid for 6 months and can be requested by anyone.

MMB - Mer Méditerranée and Beyond License — This license is valid for 6 months and can be requested by anyone. This license authorizes the ship designated (only one ship) to access the Mer Méditerranée (but no installation(s) or Jump Hole(s) that may or may not be present). This license is generally advised for tourists and researchers.

PCCL - Provence Capital-Class License — This license's validity is depending on the mission of the vessel (whether passing through; one trip, or up to a week). This license authorizes the ship designated (only one ship per request) to access the Provence system. It is destined for Capital-Class ships that are forbidden to access the system.

Heavy Rain Story Workshop

The OCV Ma'at-Sekhmet. An "old relic", as described by its crew, and its Captain.
Captained by Pieter "Pete" Van Der Vyers for more than 7 years now, its crew rotating only in a seldom fashion.

Before then, the OCV Ma'at-Sekhmet was designed to be a sort of hybrid between the Resheph and the Geb. A capital-ship whose forté is long-range missiles and cruise missiles. It was, and still is, dedicated mostly for counter-intelligence, and patrolling, however, with the uptick of Nomad activity in the Taus and in Gallia, the Ma'at-Sekhmet was re-deployed, far away from its berths, from where it was built.

For about a year, it has been deployed in the fringes of the Gallic Union. Barely making contact with the Gallics who tolerated its presence only because it was not within their borders. It supported the Order's operations in the Taus, observing in the shadows, and making reports, ready to be ferried away covertly via Freelancer pilot or other, all the way back to Akabat.

Today, it was a different day. After some discussion with the Order's High Command. It was decided by the Captain and every member of the CIC to join forces against a potential invasion by the Kusarians, so far away from their homes, infested humans, and the Core, always present, verily, the vultures of SIrius. But the Order held against all odds during the Nomad War. And Fort Carthage will hold.

The Ma'at-Sekhmet was quickly redeployed where it was built; Fort Carthage. During the heightened period of tension, it patrolled, making sure everyone is "correct". Everyone who isn't, is promptly "neutralized". Akabat; Taba; Carthage. All were targets for the enemies of the Order.

>image 1 of the patrolling Ma'at-Sekhmet<

[combat description here, epic]

>image of the kill<

Damaged, beaten to a pulp even. The other thruster out of commission. But there was no time to lose. This second wave - this wave where the Ma'at-Sekhmet arrived just in time to prevent, continues. And it is still ready as much as it was before. [ending quote]

Gallic Forces Exercices 751 Community Event

Inter-factional Annual Exercise GALFOREX 751
Gallia and neighboring systems, Tau Economic Areas, Zurich
PvP/PvE/Piracy event

DATE & TIME

March 20 - March 21
From 8PM to 9PM UTC 20th, 8PM to 9PM UTC 21st

OVERVIEW

The Gallic Union and its subjects found themselves in front of a stinging question - the lack of allies and the lack of discipline across the various branches of the entire Gallic Union. To answer this, Director Maréchal Louis de Villiers drafted an inter-branch and inter-service exercise that will span the entirety of the Gallic Sector and the TEA, as well as Zurich in order to gauge the Gallic Armed Forces' and its allies & corporations' reactions and defense capabilities against foreign aggression. With rumors of possible retaliation from the Kingdom of Bretonia, and their blatant violation of the Accords of Leviathan that put an end to the war, the "Gallic [Union] must be ready to face any foreign aggression, and must be ready to show that it is not a wasteland, but a land of the powerful, of the resilient; of those who helped themselves when the times were the darkest, and reforged our own House again from the ashes of constant wars".

With the fiasco that was the Kasier's invitation in Gallia, caused by terrorists fighting a lost war, this exercise might be the catalyst to bring the various branches that comprises the Gallic Union together, and illuminate the answer to this stinging question: "that foreigners from the Sirian Sectors have always been a bad omen [...]", and that "[...]only Gallics can rely on Gallics."

The exercise is rumored to have the participation of all the branches of the Gallic Armed Forces, and Gallic corporations and cordial factions. This being the first exercise of 751 A.G.S., the GNI has high hopes for the Gallic Union to show its willingness to train, and most importantly, defend itself... However, a cordial exercise in which the Gallic Forces will train cordially might not last, due to the TEA situation being more and more catastrophic, with reports of hostile Houses and polities activity, and even Nomad activity.

If this event gains traction or particular interest, "GALFOREX" will become a regular inter-factional exercise and might invite other factions as well.

DETAILS

Event:

Maneuver warfare
Protection of HVTs/escort
Counterinsurgency
Border patrol (notably in Tau-23)
Aggressor Sqdr. and engagements
...and various other operations will be done by the various Gallic lawful and quasi-lawful forces during the exercise.

Relevant Information:

Ships (incl. trade ships) docking during a hostile encounter ARE considered to be "killed".

Rewards:
All rewards require an INRP write-up about the event from the point of view of your character. Can be submitted as a report within the comm section, in a relevant faction channel, or as part of a story thread.

1,000,000 prize for the best team to be split even, one for each day.
A news article will be published that will notify the public on the exercise's result.

Classified Project IV

The Unione Corse Bounty Board

"The existential threat that posits the enemies of the Gallic Union cannot be ignored. While Provence aims to maintain its diplomatic neutrality, and to advance toward the future alongside the people of the Gallic and Sirian sectors, instead of against. We need to remain strong, and to defend our homeland, and the Tau Economic Areas (TEA) from hostile entities and polities..."

H.E. Principal Alfredo Orsini, 751 A.G.S.

Disclaimer: to be able to claim bounties, you need to be registered beforehand. Engagements previous to the date of joining the bounty board system will not be able to be claimed.
To be able to claim bounties, you need to use this format (below). Moreover, before moving on, you will need:

A guncam image of the ID and IFF of the target (to confirm the target).
A timestamp of the execution (to properly date the executions).
To be part of the bounty board system.
To use the claim form.

Claimant form

Areas of activity

The targets can be engaged in these systems:

Tau Economic Areas: Tau-23; Tau-29; Tau-31; Tau-37; Tau-44; Tau-61; Baffin; Brittany (Sirian Design.: "Orkney"), Roussillon; "Edinburgh".

Gallic Union: Île-de-France; Burgundy; Champagne; Languedoc; Orléanais; Picardy.

Provence AR: Provence.

Targets and payout

To preserve the peace in the TEA, and the Gallic Union, the fellow factions have been marked to fight against. The following factions are targeted by this system. Unnecessary cruelty is not needed. Think of it as euthanasia - putting down a rabid dog. Cleansing the TEA and the Gallic Union and Provence is a priority. Remember the locations of where the executions can be claimed before hunting.

Nomads & their thralls: 50,000Fr - the existential threat against mankind. Increased Nomad activity has been detected in the TEA after the devastation of the Brittany system.
Outcasts: 50,000Fr - the other half of the Hispania. A polity on the outskirts of the TEA. Delusional, slaver people. While they can be reasoned with - kill on sight.
Gaians: 50,000Fr - a fanatic, quasi-religious, Bretonian terrorist group active in the TEA. Thwarted the evacuation of Gallic civilians from Planet "Gaia" (Sirian Design.) by using biological weapons of mass destruction. Kill on sight.
LWB: 40,000Fr - it is not clear why the Landwirtrechtbewegung is targeting us. Active in Rheinland, they are a thorn in our operations in this House. However, we cannot intervene there, yet.

Classes of targets:
Executing a target will also engage a bonus payout according to the class of the target(s).

Battleship/dreadnought: 150,000Fr
Battlecruiser: 100,000Fr
Cruiser: 85,000Fr
Gunboat, Frigate: (combatant ship): 60,000Fr
Strikecraft (fighters, fighter-bombers, bombers) = 10,000Fr

Multipliers and awards:
Executing a target in specific conditions will yield a multiplier in addition to the normal payout. These current multipliers can and will be modified, including the multiplier.

Defender of Provence: - x2.5 payout on the target (x3 if there is an Outcasts incursion) if it happened in Provence.

Equalizer: - x1.5 on the payout if the target has been assisting Unione Corse combatants.

Border Guard: - x2 on the payout if the target has attempted to breach the Languedoc security apparatus (Tau-23 and Languedoc only).

State of Emergency: - On all multipliers, only when, and if a state of emergency has been declared, a second multiplier of x2 is to be applied. As of the XXth of May, 751 A.G.S., no state of emergency has been declared yet (in accordance with Provence's Legislation §3.2 on the declaration of a state of emergency).

Awards are given on a case-by-case basis. For more information, please read the Unione Corse Primer (link to be added once it is finished).

Payout calculation

Minimum payout (strikecraft) + class of target (disregard if strikecraft) x multiplier (x1 by default) If during a state of emergency, see supra..
Example: An Outcast Battleship has been put out of action by you. Congratulations! The payout shall be:

(50,000Fr + 150,000Fr) x 2 = 400,000Fr
(Outcast payout + Battleship bonus) x Multiplier = (Total payout)

ENCRYPTED COMMUNICATION

Bonghjornu, Order Overwatch; Grand Admiral Golanski.

I am Capitaine Giulia Orsini, of the Orsini Family, part of the Diplomatic Corps of the Autonomous Region of Provence’s (AR Provence) Government.

I have been tasked to be the diplomatic liaison with the Order between the Unione Corse, and the Order, to continue and maintain our good relations with the Order. I've read some previous internal reports from our agents back then, years ago, when we defeated Nomad incursions; the Unione Corse, the Order, and the Gallic Navy. It seems most fitting, to communicate, and formalize, as well as help wherever we can, the Order, from this existential threat.

I have also read of internal reports about The Commission wishing to deepen the relations between the Order, and the Unione Corse. I believe we can. So I am contacting you, in hopes of finally having a diplomatic channel, where we can discuss the various needs of the Order in the Gallic Union and Provence, and how we can help you, as the heroes of the Nomad War from way back then. We find it is still a shame that some circles in the Sirius and Gallic sectors still considers you a terrorist organization, for all the good you have done.

Trading, and supplying, would be an apt subject as well. While we recognize that you are a paramilitary organization, or rather, outgrown even this definition, logistics remains a key element. And I believe we can answer, at least, some of these. The Omicrons is a dangerous sectors, filled with uncertainty. I fully believe that your men, for example, would benefit greatly from some R&R on Planet Marseille.

There is also another matter which we would like to discuss. We would like to study Orkney, and Tau-61, in a joint effort if needed, due to the existence of a Sealed Jump Gate to Orkney in Provence. And the Tau Economical Areas (TEA) in general. I think that would be a first step, in engaging in joint efforts with the Order, again.

Grazie for your time.

We look forward to your response, and to the continued cooperation between the Order, and the Unione Corse.

Yours sincerely,

Diplomatic Corps Rep. Capitaine Giulia Orsini

Alfredo Orsini Biography

H.S.H. Alfredo Orsini[/b]

Name: Alfredo Orsini
D.O.B.: UNKNOWN
Place of birth: UNKNOWN
Family: Unknown Wife (DECEASED, assassinated), Capitaine Giulia Orsini (29), Capitaine Salvatore Orsini (38), Initié Ghisoni Orsini (DECEASED, Killed in Action)

Alfredo Orsini, is the current head of the Unione Corse. Previously a Doctor, who graduated from the University of New Paris and professed liberally there for about a decade before the Gallic Invasion of Sirius, not much of his history before the Unione Corse is known. After a while, he has been put into trial for "unlawful experimentation on unwilling subjects", "unlawful experimentation using a banned substance," "unlawful experimentation on human beings," "unlawful experimentation on unwilling human beings," and "second-degree murder."; however, he has suddenly been cleared of all charges, and everything about this case (Île-de-France, Cour Pénale de Nouvelle Paris, Case n°AO-88991F). It is rumored that the Unione Corse, and his family, the Orsini Family, has had a hand in it. A few days after he had been cleared of all charges, and that all the documents related to his case were burnt down in a fire caused by a transport ship conveniently losing power over a wing of the NeuralNet Legal Royal Archives on N. Paris.

Tsumi no Kaiko ship description

Tsumi no Kaikō

CLASS: SHI 1800 "Raba"
GRAVITY: Partial
AMENITIES: Complete
CREW: CLASSIFIED
ARMAMENT: CLASSIFIED
LOCATION: Kusari, Tau Sector, Gallia and Provence

The Tsumi no Kaikō (罪の回光), or the Redemptive Light of Sin, is a Hogosha Frigate dedicated to support Hogosha operations in the Taus and overtly Kusari's operations in the Taus. Launched as Hull n°146 in 834 A.S. by the Corsair Imperio's shipwrights, it was then moved to Kusari to support Corsair operations, as one of the very few Raba frigates still operating under the command of the Corsairs. Following the contract written between the Hogosha's Yomi Syndicate (黄泉組) and the Corsair Imperio, Hull n°146, the Raba Frigate, was to serve under the Corsair Imperio's command for a year until it would be transferred to this Syndicate's command.

On the eve of the 1st of January, 835 A.S., after the execs of the Yomi Syndicate believed that Hull n°146 was eventually to be lost, that they would lose the credits they invested in the Corsair Imperio and their shipwrights, Hull n°146 suddenly appeared near Kamakura Base, Sigma-59, with a large Corsair escort. Written crudely on the side of the hull where the number 146 was, was "Cumplimos con nuestra parte del contrato, ahora sigue la tuya." Notably, Hull n°146 was heavily damaged, yet the Corsairs emissaries said that "damages to the ship aren't covered within the contract your Syndicate and the Imperio. We needed this frigate for specific operations for a year, before handing it back to you guys."

After inspection by Yomi Syndicate's ship engineers and with the help of a a local Corsair cell's manpower, far more friendly than those "back home", they analyzed Hull n°146 for days, eventually noticing that the jump history was frantic right until the end (Jan. 1st, 835 A.S.).

Selected terminal access

Disregarding the absolute lack of safety, the already-exhausted engineers, deckhands, and the odd black market NeuralNet Security scientist, after a few days, all errors were patched, though it ended up costing 15% of the entire value of the ship additionally to the Yomi Syndicate. But now, Hull n°146 was back in their hands. Their investments, and in turn, the Imperio's investment in this warship project, was indeed a light for these criminals.

On Kamakura Base, Hull n°146 - which didn't had the privilege of having a name, or even have a cheap bottle of liquor broken up on her after her launching, assumedly due to the extremely quickly buildup of these frigates by the Imperio's shipwrights, had finally, after God knows how much operations this ship have participated in, whether supplying or pirating, had a limited ceremony. A bottle of sake, from 822 A.S, was broken on her damaged bow, and she was finally named, Tsumi no Kaikō (罪の回光).

• Recipient: Friedrich Kruger
• Sender: H.S.H. Principal Alfredo Orsini
• Source: Luxury Yacht Larissa, [AUTO. REDACTED], moving
• Subject: RE: Rekindling Old Ties

Bonghjornu, Monsieur Friedrich Kruger! U mo amicu! It is a pleasure to hear from the Unioners again!

Indeed, it has been far too long. And I am really glad, and happy to see you all. I really hope you are all doing great. Like you said; many faces vanish, disappear. But one thing we can agree on, is the bond between the Unioners and the Unione Corse.

Let me introduce myself; I am H.S.H. Principal Alfredo Orsini, in charge of the Corsican Commission (a/k/a The Commission, (//High Command)). I intend to continue the traditions of my predecessors in continuing the trust between us.

First of all: grazie, really, for your generous shipment to Bourbon Base, and this transmission. This was received with surprise, alongside a tinge of nostalgia for the past. But I believe we should be focused on the future. While keeping what has made, the relation between the Unioners, and the Corse, so strong, so important, to both of ours, that credits are a second thought, compared to trust between us.

I fully believe in trust, therefore, meeting in Zürich is absolutely feasible. It would be a pleasure to meet our old friends again directly, as you said, instead of using simply transmissions. and never moving... but this is enough. Now, I believe a new future dawns on us. And like you said; trust means far more, when faced with the uncertainty of life. "And perhaps the beginning of more," this I cannot agree more with. The Unioners have always been an admired group of ours. And I hope it is the same even now for you.
I am coming back from a diplomatic mission rather far away from the AR Provence, so I believe I will be back directly to Zürich from Friday (7th of November, 751 A.G.S.), to Sunday (9th of November, 751 A.G.S.); Sirius Standard Time at around the "evening" and "night". I hope this is acceptable enough for you. If not, no problem at all. It can be moved further down the line, or even before the 7th. Scusami, amicu meu, if I said a bit much, and if it seems all a bit too over-the-top, I must say, that I am very excited.

Grazie again for this shipment, and your willingness to rekindle dialogue between our two groups.
We feel the same, I can guarantee you that. And I really hope to see you, and your comrades, very soon, and rekindle, our old ties.

Sinceramente vostru,

H.S.H. Alfredo Orsini

IV. History

Before the Fall

[img]123[/img]

Starting in 733 AGS, the Kingdom of Gallia began its invasion of Sirius. They interrupted the ongoing Tau War between Bretonia and Kusari. This conflict, later known as the Gallic War, lasted for over a decade, spanning throughout the Tau sector, deep into Bretonia and the Independent Worlds, and even reaching the eastern borders of Liberty, its echo still recognizable as far as the Omega systems.

The conflict culminated with the Kingdom's failure to overcome the Allies over New London during the Blitz of 742 AGS, when the Sirius nations repelled the invasion, though at a great cost. This marked the beginning of the Kingdom's downfall.

After being pushed out of New London, the Gallic Royal Navy followed the King's last orders before his sudden disappearance, now tasked to deal as much damage to Sirius as possible to deter any immediate retaliation. Part of the Gallic forces blocked the jump gate leading to New London and repelled Allied raiding parties while the majority of the invasion fleet commenced the greatest atrocity in mankind's history.

They methodically wiped clean the planet-wide city of Leeds, causing countless casualties within a mere week. The Gauls utilized one of the most horrifying developments of the decade-long war - the Triumph-class destroyer that boasts a monstrous hull-mounted bombardment cannon.

During this time, the Council for Liberation of Gallia capitalized on an opportunity to march toward the throneworld with the majority of the Gallic Royal Navy being occupied elsewhere. Local military officials were shocked by multiple factors: the atrocities of the Royal forces, the disappearance of the tyrant Charles, and the threat of retaliation from Sirius.

In late summer 742 AGS, these officials agreed to a ceasefire with the Council forces, effectively ending the Second Gallic War within the state. However, the conflict continued outside Gallia's borders, as the Royal forces still in Sirius refused to lay down their weapons, denying to recognize the authority of the new regime — soon to be known as the Confederal government.

The Confederacy and the Protectorate

The Gallic Royal forces remaining in Sirius formed their own splinter faction, a rogue state that became known as the Gallic Royal Enclave to Sirius. They called themselves the Hebrides Protectorate and operated as a military junta, consisting of high-ranking officers of the Gallic Royal Navy, Intelligence, and nobility that run the organization now. They refused to surrender to the Allies or make peace with the Council despite facing numerous challenges, which were substantial. The colony on planet Gaia, rechristened as Bordeaux during the Protectorate's governorship, was still developing, and their fleets were battle-hardened yet crippled after suffering heavy losses. A new command hierarchy needed to be established, and, most importantly, not everyone was willing to follow the King's last orders.

Contre-Admiral Daniel d'Argenlieu convinced some high-ranking officers to abandon the failed conquest, urging them to return to their homeland. The so-called loyalists viewed this as treachery, scheming to ambush d'Argenlieu's forces as they returned to Gallia, branding them as traitors. D'Argenlieu dubbed this event "the Fratricide". The incident drove a wedge between different factions of the Royal Navy, paving the way for a xenophobic junta to rise to power.

The Protectorate sought to forge connections with other dissatisfied factions and organizations, aiming to overthrow the new authorities and retake the Gallic throne. One such ally was Montluc Advanced Engineering, a corporation originating from Languedoc that was eventually banished from Gallia by the Confederal government under the pretense of separatism. MAE became a staunch supporter of the Protectorate, helping the faction dig in, fortify their positions, and accelerate development of the Hebrides.

The Path to Reunification

The chance arose when Kusari launched a war against Gallia in 743 AGS. They mounted a devastating assault on the Lorraine and Languedoc systems. This conflict, combined with a recent internal coup, opened an opportunity for the Protectorate, granting them the ability to step in and demonstrate the weaknesses of the Confederal regime to the Gallic people. This eventually led to Reunification under the banner of the Gallic Union, since house-wide military junta seemed a better option than either royal tyranny or Kusarian conquest. As the Protectorate moved more forces into Languedoc, Bretonia launched their own advance on Edinburgh, forcing Gallic forces to abandon planet Gaia and the entire system.

Meanwhile, the Duchy forces suffered a defeat over Metz, which led to the destruction of orbital mirrors - an EFL structure that kept the planet heated. The planet's temperature rapidly dropped, plunging it back into an ice age and effectively forcing Confederacy to evacuate the world as soon as the opportunity arose. The Protectorate's interference on Languedoc's front allowed the Confederacy to move more ships to Burgundy for Gallic forces to finally drive away the KNF fleet located over Nevers and stopping the Kusarian advance deeper into Gallia.

The Kusarian advance stalled as Bretonia pushed the Protectorate out of Edinburgh and The Maquis launched a devastating attack on Royal Navy installations in the Roussillon system. This forced the Royal forces to withdraw to Orkney as the Kusarians and the Confederacy were forced to sign the Treaty of Rishiri, finally ending the war. Soon after, the Confederacy collapsed and a new government rose - the Gallic Union.

Pasquale Paoli Refitting Incomplete RP Story

AR PROVENCE
Location: MÉR MÉDITERRANÉE, TEMPORARY DRYDOCK, NEAR MONACO BASE

"Get 'er in, guys, come on", shouted Monaco's quartermaster on the radio, "we ain't got all day."

The Pasquale Paoli, a Bustard-class "Civilian" Carrier, for her annual refit, was underway in its temporary drydock in a cleared patch in the Mer Méditerranée. Out of sight from everyone. The annual refit became a sort of ritual for her crew, and all the ruckus caused by its arrival near Monaco Base, leaving all the current crew get some "R&R", whether it's in the high-end brothels aboard Monaco, or on solid ground on Planet Marseille, and rotating its crew for the next year.

"We've got a wing of friendlies comin' our way, boss, what're we gonna do?", asked one of the space traffic near Monaco Base, the quartermaster picked up the wide-band radio-set in the command room, "Boys [in Corsican]... get the fuck out, an' keep this entire perimeter out of reach from any of our guys for now, got it?", a succint "Iè" was heard from the wing leader, as the command room watched the wing of Mistrals Noir break formation and leave this cleaned-up portion of the nebula.

Heavy Lifters after Heavy Lifters, towing the powered-down Bustard, probably "borrowed" from EFL, kept coming and going, they were on the clock of course. HQ would naturally start asking question where the fuck one of their Heavy Lifters would go AWOL for more than a few hours. Not that the Unione Corse didn't have them; it was simply cheaper to put a few hundred Gallic Franks in the pockets of a few EFL pilots who would look gladly the other way, lest they be met with another option, rather than waking up the entire maintenance crew.

About everything relating to the Pasquale Paoli was done so. Covertly, "the Corse way", some would say. This year's refit was special however. The usual was on the to-do list, such as updating the firmware of everything necessary, taking out the trash, replacing old interior systems with newer ones that was also "borrowed" from a shipment that has been intercepted a few days ago. "Serendipitous", one might think. However, her armaments was aging as well. While she was still pristine, as she remains in Provence as one of its stalwart defenses, she saw very few combat compared to other Corsican capital ships, and yet her crew was always handpicked, the most veteran pilots, engineers, gunners, security, boarding parties, even the janitors. instead of having a ship with half of its crew having a "sword of Damocles" (blackmail is such an ugly word, don't you think?) hanging above their heads if they didn't do their jobs, such as cleaning the shit out of a cramped toilets of an Asco gunboat,

She was, after all, the symbol, of the Special Operations Forces of Provence, the paramilitary of Provence, and many other names and nicknames and sobriquets attributed to this sub-organization within the Unione Corse. If anything, her way of functioning was closer to a House's capital ship than anything. Appearances must be kept pristine, if deals must be done, or if guns must be drawn.

Regardless, having a crack team of a crew wouldn't help her aging equipment. Right down to the bearings of the turrets, rust, or accumulated gas residue would make some turrets less responsive, which also had the effect of pissing the gunners even more when in combat.

Alsace Passage passenger transits reach record high

VERSAILLES - After several months of renovations, Imperial Shipping has reopened Versailles Station in Ile-de-France for business. Imperial Shipping acquired the facility in December of last year, with backing and financial support from Rheinland's government. The previous owners, Bouvet Space Entertainment (a subsidiary of Ile-de-France Shipping), had sold the loss-making station to raise revenue for a major fleet refurbishment. Intending to operate the station as a business hub and "Sirian diplomatic enclave", Imperial Shipping has begun offering temporarily discounted tickets for seats aboard chartered passenger liners.

Not to be outdone, these offers have been matched by Orbital Spa & Cruise, who have recently been contracted by Ile-de-France Shipping to operate Cannes Resort in Provence. It is widely believed that the tour company has been courting Gallic business for some time, hoping to revitalise its flagging resorts on Planet Baden Baden. According to knowledgeable sources, Orbital sees the jointly promoted tourism campaign as an ideal vehicle for establishing their brand across the Gallic market, while normalising the idea of recreationally travelling abroad to a Gallic population that has for centuries seen this as a fierce taboo.

The Unione Corse has also moved to aggressively undercut Orbital's prices by slashing the cost of luxury retreats on Planet Marseille. The Corse have largely controlled the Provence system since the end of the Second Gallic Civil War, and accordingly manage most of the region's resorts and foreign investment. Anonymous insiders claim the Corsicans feel aggrieved by Bouvet Space Entertainment subleasing Cannes' management contract to Orbital Spa & Cruise without consulting them first. While it remains to be seen how Orbital will adapt to the Gallic market, the Corse are set on ruthlessly squeezing their profit margins for the time being.

Regardless of corporate competition, there has never been a better time for Rheinlanders or Gauls to book a foreign vacation. As business leaders and trend setters flock to Versailles Station, Gallic Cultural Officers have been made available to shepherd guests around approved cultural, historic and commercial sites on New Paris. Rheinland has likewise prepared various tours packages covering New Berlin's chilly cabarets, clubs and sites of historic renown for adventurous Gallic visitors. Plunging ticket prices and state-endorsed revelry mean the Alsace Passage is seeing record-breaking numbers of passenger transits. Government officials hope the activity will persist once the subsidies end.

Alsace Passage passenger transits reach record high

PROVENCE - The Corsican-controlled Government of Provence has made a somewhat controversial move after beginning to transform the steadfast Saint Florent Shipping Facility into what has been called the Saint Florent Border Fortress. Corsican Heavy Lifters are expected to move the modular installation closer to the trade lane-less Languedoc Jump Gate in effort to support Provence Border Guard (PBG) efforts to curb terrorism and to offer a strategic location to defend Provence from possible foreign - and internal aggression.

Saint Florent Shipping Facility has been deployed about a year ago in order to answer the need of Provence for imported raw materials that arrived from Rheinland and elsewhere, and turning them into high-end goods to be exported. While the administration of the modular installation has assured that Saint Florent's main goals as a production and import/export facility will not change, the PBG and the SOFP (Special Operations Forces of Provence) will take a more "proactive" stance in the defense of Provence. Some people allege that this is due to perceived threats to the system's security and Marseille at large, from threats emerging from the Gallic Union, to threats incoming from Languedoc, which would explain the decision.
