1. I'm afraid Bretonia-hessian neutrality was never part of official disco lore. Recently BAF-hessian rephack was fixed to -0.7 because of that, so if I were BAF/Bretonian player I'd refrain from suggesting lore development on something what exists only in-game (otherwise RNC could claim they conquered "Texasburg", following that logic). In addition, BAF raiding Gamma sounds meh.
2. It's quite wtf to see official BAF players theorizing about independent Dublin handed over to Mollys like it was candy, Graves included. Bretonia is monopolist when it comes to Gold in Sirius, and gets nice cash from that, so I have no idea why do you consider killing ooRP source of activity which Bretonia-Molly conflict is, and giving away inRP vital resources over which you have almost total control.
3. @ Fallen
Friday is no longer here. He also was the one who invented entire "Samura worked with Kishiro (sic!) in Munich, something went wrong and they popped half of the system" thing (LOL). I'd be cautious when it comes to his ideas and using them in arguments.
4. Actually Bretonian lawful players have potentially quite much to do, you just need to log to the game. However, suggested Bretonian surrender wouldn't mean you have nothing to do, or that you (entirely) lost. There would be Corsairs, Mollys, O49 with habitable planet, there would be internal opposition to Gallic occupation (some sort of BAF Exiles attacking BAF loyal to puppet Bretonian goverment)... Surely it wouldn't be end of life for Bretonian factions.
