Flight Plan: Coronado > Baffin > Tau31 > Tau29 > Orkney > Languedoc > Dauphine
Mission: Deep Reconnaissance into GRN territory, ID jump holes, trade lanes, bases and troop concentrations
See attachments for scanner readouts.
Significant notes: Contact with GRN gunboat and pickets inside Orkney prevented me from further probing the vicinity of their jumpgate. The Gallic jump gates and trade lanes are of a deisgn not seen in Sirius outside Gallic space. Their are only a couple of ways into Gallic space, and even the jump holes are guarded by patrols, depots and stationary weapons stations. A large minefield with only one way out (north, past Montpelier Guard Station) leads from Orkney Jump Hole into Languedoc.
Dauphine is a hotbed of Gallic resistance, with a well-defended depot of the Maquis in sector D3, close to Orleanais Jump Hole. Battleship Ambazac nearby ensure the constant presence of a few GRN patrols, but the Maquis and their allies harry them from the field on a continuous basis. They are well-armed and trained, and would be great allies in a protracted war with Gallia.
