«I've received reports on the Maquis's latest activity in Gallia. Recent clashes indicate a high level of combat training and extremely strong motivation. This isn't the level of mere radicals. Some reports mention the word "Organization." If all my theories are correct, then the disappearances during the Enclave's entry into the Confederation and the current increased activity of the so-called "Organization" are directly related. I really don't want to believe I'm right, but if so, then we're facing an enemy with all the knowledge to inflict maximum damage on us.
I must report to the GNI that what the Council once (and only once) called the EOS has returned. I hope they believe me.»
Exécutif des Opérations Spéciaux (EOS or so-called "The Organisation") - This is a small unit, once created within the Council during the early development of its activities back in 647, as an instrument of surgical operations of the Free Gallia Movement, which was supposed to compensate for the lack of people with their skill in the field of intelligence, espionage and counter-espionage.
Over time, the EOS grew so large that their network of agents began to cover the entire Kingdom by the time the Second Gallic War began, and the first and only mention of this Council cell was the "Bloodless Victory at Nimes" in 733 AGS (817 AS): the coordinated actions of the Organization's agents and curators allowed for a workers' revolt to be raised and the station to be captured, which subsequently led to the capture of the Languedoc system, and then the breaking of the blockade in Orkney and the beginning of the Second Gallic War.
However, this is not the only merit of these agents. Most of the Kingdom's obsolete ships, which later took up the banner of the Council (and later the Maquis), ended up in the hands of this rebel movement thanks to spies and saboteurs from this unit. During the Second Gallian War, this group recruited sympathizers for the Council, carried out surgically precise assassinations of important Kingdom figures (the consequences of these atrocities were blamed on the Maquis), and actively recruited defectors from the Royal Navy and Intelligence.
During the Confederation, the EOS continued to faithfully serve the interests of the Republic, but during the Kusari invasion, the group's ideology faltered: the Council, fighting for peaceful coexistence with other Houses, became a victim of its own ideals, and the formation of an Gallic Union with Royalist elements of the Enclave completely disillusioned key members of the Organization.
Over the following years, agents began disappearing one after another, simultaneously eliminating anyone who knew anything about them. Officially, these were attributed to accidents, attacks by radicals from the Maquis and Brigands, and assassinations by foreign intelligence agencies (such as the KOI and BIS). It was only in 751 AGS (835 AS) that a certain "Organization" began to appear among the Maquis ranks, employing methods of struggle previously unheard of for such a movement.
To everyone, they are "The Organization." The three-letter abbreviation is a rumor even for experienced GNI agents who once served on the Council. However, disappearances continue to occur, and the group's numbers are only growing.
In its current form, the EOS strives for only one thing: to establish Republic rule throughout Gallia and sever all ties with the Sirius sector.
The EOS's formation dates back to 647 AGS, when, according to Order#45 issued by the Council's High Command, the first covert intelligence structure within the Gallic revolutionary movement was established. The Council recognized that ideological struggle was not the only method of defeating the Kingdom, which had the manpower, time, and resources on its side. Victory of democracy required sacrifice.
The organization was intended to address the Council's human resource needs through covert infiltration into various Kingdom structures, either personally or through intermediaries and sympathizers. Initially, the EOS consisted of about two dozen operatives, primarily defectors from Royal Navy units stationed in the Champagne system, or highly educated specialists from the planet Marne, capable of assisting in intelligence operations and cracking the necessary encryption keys to obtain valuable data. The most common activity of the EOS in its early years was to seek out sympathizers for the Council's cause and maintain contacts with existing assets. The primary goal was to protect these assets from exposure by the Kingdom, which subsequently secured the Council sufficient influence in the Champagne system and allowed it to develop its offensive in Languedoc.

The killer managed to escape."
The EOS's main asset was the deep sympathy of the common people for the Council's cause. These agents easily blended into the crowd or channeled its anger. However, Royal Intelligence was vigilant: recognizing that the Council was using an organized cell to conduct its covert operations, they tracked down and captured these agents. But the group's founders were former members of the Kingdom's military. They were well aware of the methods the monarchists were capable of, which is why many agents didn't even know what they were truly part of. And when they were caught, they simply didn't know the answers to many questions. This multi-layered secrecy and mystery deprived the Kingdom of any understanding of who was truly behind it all. For this reason, the EOS was named "The Organization." Capturing an Organization agent was considered a success, but capturing one of the Organization's officers was a true feat. A feat no one else had ever been able to achieve.
Amid all this struggle, the Organization began to employ a broader range of operations. These included tracking and eliminating undesirables, as well as a series of sabotage operations throughout the Kingdom's berths, where the obsolete ships that would later form the core of the "Council Fleet" were based. When it came to assassinations, the Maquis took responsibility; when it came to the theft of a capital ship, sympathetic assets from the Royal Navy stepped in. The EOS took excellent care to ensure that none of the Council's friends were targeted, but were able to assist them in their hour of need. This allowed the Council to expand its circle of sympathizers, including nobles from Ile-de-France.
Gradually, using operatives, the Council managed to amass sufficient power in the criminal underworld. Whether it was the radicals of the Maquis or the pirates and bandits of the Brigands, they were sufficient to assemble a fleet and logistical strength that would no longer consider an attack on a major planet impossible. At least, in the reality of Gallia at that time, for there were plenty of worlds whose peoples suffered under the King's oppression.
The first target at the beginning of the revolution was the planet Marne.
The gates of Hell opened the moment the Council decided to launch its full-scale offensive.
The organization had learned the lessons of the past and the experience of fighting Royal Intelligence perfectly. Sympathetic assets and sleeper cells, with whom contact was never interrupted, provided fertile ground for undermining stability on the planet Marne. One of the Kingdom's most important industrial centers, whose working people had been dissatisfied with the state of affairs for many years, served as the ideal springboard for the Council's first truly aggressive actions. Victory for the Republic required sacrifice, and even in its early years, the Council understood that a peaceful resolution to the confrontation was impossible.
In its arrogance and desire to dominate all inhabitants of the Sirius sector, the Kingdom, exterminating dissent and oppressing everyone else, failed to notice the flames of revolution flaring on Marne. This planet had always been a turbulent world, and it was already difficult to find anything more blatant there than yet another dissident cell. The organization took advantage of this and blended in among the ordinary dissenters, beginning to gather them into organized groups. Sympathetic officers of the Kingdom, some of whom were from Marne, agreed to the adventure of coup d'état.
First, a study of the terrain, then the arrival of curators and the first arms deliveries through atmospheric passages and by smuggling. Then came the first attacks on convoys, not for personal gain but to probe the terrain. The Organization had committed all available resources to such a large-scale operation, and therefore everything had to be known. Meanwhile, the Council was transferring ships to Champagne and preparing for an offensive. Attack statistics didn't change much in the eyes of Royal Intelligence: the increased frequency was attributed to the Council's already expanding power, as well as the general instability on the Marne. By the time the Kingdom decided to sound the alarm and send garrisons to maintain order, it was too late: years of preparation and a series of complex and labor-intensive operations had pieced the puzzle together. The revolution had begun.

on Nimes Station.
Numerous resources were deployed to contain the attack on Marne, but it was all in vain: thanks to the EOS, the Council had excellent terrain awareness and was able to prioritize casualties. Every single attack was carried out with a proper calculation of potential losses. If not for the Organization's efforts, the attack might have resulted in massive losses and ended in fatal failure. But that was not to be. Once Champagne was sealed off from the outside world, it became the center of the Movement for a free Gallia and, at the same time, an indicator that the so-called "Organization" was now capable of far more serious operations than its earlier terrorist attacks, assassination attempts, and the theft of obsolete ships.
The next stage involved attacks on other fronts. Having secured a foothold in Champagne, the Council began a systematic offensive on other worlds. Their primary target was Languedoc, which led directly to the Sirius sector, protected by a minefield that would prevent anyone but the military from passing through, "beyond the wall." The proven infiltration patterns were put to good use at Nimes Station. This time, there was no bloodshed. The "Bloodless Victory at Nimes" proved that the Organization could avoid unnecessary fratricide, and that it had a name.
Or rather, an abbreviation. The first mention of the EOS is considered to be the victory at Nimes Station, when embedded operatives managed to conduct an extremely thorough operation to infiltrate and indoctrinate the local disaffected population. In reports, they were referred to as "EOS Commandos," which essentially exposed a certain part of the "Organization" to the Kingdom. The capture of the station allowed the Council to conquer Languedoc with fewer losses than Champagne, and then advance as a united front into the Orkney system. The Kingdom managed to recapture the system, triggering a large migration of the local population to Roussillon, on the planet Toulouse.
But the Council had achieved its goal. The masks were torn off. Gallia opened up to Sirius, albeit not immediately. The decision was made on the spur of the moment: to launch an offensive into the Tau worlds without delay and defeat the warring Houses of Kusari and Bretonia, and then to expand the offensive deeper into the sector.
With Gallia's arrival in the Sirius sector, not only did humans become interested in them, but also the Nomads, who had returned to the sector's arena. The vile alien creatures saw the Kingdom as a tempting target for infection, as they had no information about the alien threat. The entire Gallia-Sirius war became one great test for the EOS: the infection affected them too. It remains unclear when exactly so-called "Incident 91" began, leading to the extermination of nearly half the Organization's personnel. Several people were considered "patient zero" at once, with gaps of several months or even years.
«Hunting for minions. 740 AGS.»
This wasn't a routine counter-espionage operation, as, like Royal Intelligence, the EOS had no idea what they were dealing with. They had to squeeze every possible piece of information out of the slightest leads and the most insignificant victories, which proved costly for the Organization. For every single infected destroyed, the EOS would lose a dozen of their agents beforehand. Nevertheless, conclusions were drawn, and the lessons gradually learned allowed them to combat the infection using the same methods as the Order: eliminating alien smuggling into Gallia and approaching the Nomad issue with the utmost radical zeal. At some point, the Council's intelligence began to resemble the Order in some ways: they cast aside humanity to protect their House, their Gallia, their Republic.
These operations cost the EOS approximately 80% of its personnel. During the Gallia-Bretonia-Liberty war, the Organization was practically uninvolved in its standard operations. They understood that defeating the Nomads was paramount, trumping the Kingdom: they were an enemy that saw no difference between the King and the President. Therefore, a victory for this enemy would mean the defeat of both the Council and the Kingdom. But the goal was achieved: the threat was repelled and forgotten. The Organization returned to its tasks precisely when the Council was about to storm the Picardy system.
Everything followed the standard pattern. But this time, without mercy for its enemies, with complete surveillance of the situation. Amiens fell and initiated the final accord in the Republic revolution, which would later lead to the formation of the Confederation. Those who survived the events of "Incident 1" understood that this was the division of the EOS into "before" and "after." The Organization's mentality and focus shifted somewhat. But a response to this will not be found immediately.
With the emergence of the Confederacy, EOS became considered the primary intelligence force of the Republic of Gallia, and their operational methods formed the basis of the OCI. In essence, they became part of the new intelligence agency, without revealing their true identity and still based at Macon Base. After so many years, victory had been achieved, and in the long te̟͠rm̻͗, ̱͠the ̫͊Organ̆͟iz̼̎ati͕͊ǫ́ṅ̖ ̧̎was̙̚ p̤̊re͉̓p̻̅ả̠r̗͗i̧̕n̼͡g̤̔ ̺̇f̯͊o̙͑ṟ͆ ͇̈it̜͑s ͙͞ḍ͘is̝̄s̲͠o͋͟l͈̐ut͚͞ḭ̈oǹ̬ ͓͠a̞̐n̼͒d͍̈ ̻̫̎͌c̞̮͑͑o̹̪̎͛ṇ̯͌͑t̮͕͋̚i͈͒̓͟n͖̰̐̔ǔ̱̦͘e̘̯̊͠d̜̺́̔ ̧͚͊̕ǫ̼̽́p͉̯̈͘e̯͖͆̌r̝̠͑͋à̹͇́t͖̬̿̽i̥̍̾͟õ͎͇͡n̦̝̄͑ ̜̠̾̅w̘̖̑̋i͚̠͐͝t͔̩̍͘h͎̒̚͢ị̢̋͝n͎̣̈̾.̹͇̀̚.̨͈̽̍.͔̜̑͡
«Our structure is nearly a hundred years old. What conclusions can we draw? The Republic misjudged its vision of an ideal Gallic society. We were their poisonous dagger all these years. We thought we were doing everything right. But when the Kusari arrived on our doorstep, when Bretonia appeared on our borders, when the Enclave returned to the Confederation, the Republic made a deal with the devil, forgiving the Royalist scum for all the atrocities we fought against all these years.
Sirius, who should have been grateful to us for our work, for discovering Gallia before it could crush everyone overnight, stabbed us in the back. All these years, they were only too happy to destroy Gallia, regardless of who lives in it. Us or the King - it makes no difference to them. The true evil that must be destroyed is Royalism. And the true enemy is Sirius. And now Marne is dying in agony, suffering moral decline. What we once proudly called our home, liberated at the cost of enormous sacrifice, has fallen victim to a regime that has traded one form of slavery for another.
We will no longer compromise. We have clear information that not all of the Council have joined the Maquis. We will apply their knowledge to eliminate those Royalists who dared to think they would be welcome in Gallia after their atrocities. We will bring enlightenment to the people of the Maquis and transform them into the weapon with which we will conquer the long-awaited Republic throughout Gallia, without exception.
And when we are victorious, when the last stone of the last palace falls on the head of the last representative of the Royal nobility, we will leave Sirius. Let this sector continue to burn in its petty conflicts.
