I'd also like to share some images from my first trip to Gallia. They have purple lights on their trade lanes in place of green ones and their mooring fixtures sit next to the docking rings instead of above them! There is also a very unusual planetary body in the Dauphine system. From what I was told on Alesia, it is called the Privas Planetary Cluster.
I also encountered Luke McCloud in the New York system. I was stopped by one of Joker's men, he inquired if I knew about their religion; the Ministry of Ban or some such. It seemed fairly similar to what the TAZ preach, but I think the Ministry's version is more violent. Oh, and unlike the TAZ, they make you listen to them.....with very subtle threats of violence if you don't. At least that is what I felt was happening.
Anyways, as I said I ran into McCloud, seems he is a follower of the Ministry and after I listened to Joker's man preach I was released without harm or a tax. I later contacted Joker's man via private comms and informed him that his follower had pirated an OSI transport and violated Baffin's sanctity. He appeared surprised by this and assured me he'd take care of him. I later received a distress call on a open channel from McCloud; seems the Ministry blew his ship up upon hearing of his actions. I sent 3 million credits to the Ministry, though it might have just been a set up.
