Gallia changes

[Highland Laddie]

Gallia seems to be winning the conventional war, but I think the allies will score the doomsday weapon to turn the tide. That, or in a year Sirius will be New Gallia. I don't advise that unless we want a mass migration out of sirius (and we know that means).

Splinter Gallia like the roman empire after its fall. Open it up to Sirian Colonization! Then people will actually go there! Groups like the Maquis, Council, UC, start claiming systems, and perhaps finally start squabbling among themselves for territory.

Well, it's hard to really determine what "winning the conventional war" actually means. They've managed to take some systems, sure, but not necessarily capitalize on gaining the large amount of resources they need to maintain their war machine. Leeds certainly has to be draining and demoralizing them to an extent (I think of Leeds as the Stalingrad of the war).

I couldn't imagine it would be too long a time before some officers in the GRN would begin questioning their loyalty to King Charles, and may even see more of a shift towards the Council, which would pave the way for more of an Gallic Civil war focus and relieve the pressure off Sirius. I think your Roman Empire analogy is a good one in that respect, although, I could easily see the Council re-absorbing the Maquis movement if there managed to be a sizeable break up of the Kingdom of Gallia, since they would have no real reason to oppose one-another.
