Gallia's problems are not going to be solved with cheap armour.
gallias problems are 1. Xoria needs to bribe people to go there 2. the systems are much too large compared with, say, Om7. 3. The hostility of gallia to everything and everyone needs to be dropped down a notch - if you don't have traders coming in, then you have no pirates. if you have no pirates, you have no police. If you have no police, then you haven't got a pool of gallic rp-ers who are fed up with with tiny ships, and so the recruitment pool for the GRN is small.
the real problem is that GRN/GP's hostility towards traders who are on friendly enough terms with the rest of sirius.
