We've somehow managed to return unharmed!

We managed to find the wine that you've asked for, in fact John just bought ten of all kinds to be sure... If you don't manage to find his ship lurking around Liberty, then we can arrange a time for him to come by and transfer the package to you.

On the 'side job' that you've asked us to do, we managed to snag everything along the way that we figured you might be interested in. Unfortunately, we couldn't exactly risk trying to find out more information and were content with whatever was publically accessible about them without lingering for too long.

I'm surprised to say that there weren't any Navy patrols that questioned our stay there, but I think we might've just been lucky and found the right time to pass by. The military presence inside Gallia is unreal, if we count them by their battleships alone! They really struck as if they aren't bothering to patrol as often in their core space, I mean, they have the Police doing most of the work in keeping peace. This is what we found on the systems we passed through:

Report

Information about Leeds

We found one battleship, named the Betheny, along our way to Gallia. It was stationed at the jump gate to Edinburgh.

It's likely to prevent their enemies from having access to the gate - very daunting!

Information about Edinburgh

While passing by to Orkney, we spotted a battleship in the distance and decided to change our direction a bit to catch a glimpse of it.

It was the Castres, likely a staging ground for the system and for the protection of Gaia? I've heard that planet is incredibly important.

Information about Orkney

There was a huge military presence here in this system, this was the last place that we've seen serious patrols take place. Everything beyond that was a lot more.. relaxed. I was told it was the gateway to Gallia itself, so it makes sense!

We managed to notice and find two battleships in this system! The first one was La Riche, the other De Grasse. Both were probably just ensuring peace within the system.

Information about Languedoc

There was another battleship on the way to the capital. Battleship Montmorency was overlooking and protecting the jump gate leading into Gallia's 'core worlds'. This system seems to have taken big hits from their internal wars...

Information about Dauphine

We didn't encounter anything noteworthy in Dauphine, save for a shipyard named Fourchambault. I'm not sure if this is interesting to you or not - it wasn't clear what it was producing!

[x]

Information about Orleanais

Nothing noteworthy in our path, except for a shipyard, named Maintenon, like in Dauphine. I hope this is of use.

[x]

Information about Ile-de-France

We didn't find anything interesting in this system as we only visited to get what you requested, but there were other Sirian ships flying around and doing trade. There were so many elegant ships! I think Gallic nobility in transit was an amazing sight to see.

[x]

Information about Burgundy

Another battleship was guarding the entryway to Champagne, just ensuring only traffic that they want is passing through?

[x] [x]

Information about Champagne

Yet another battleship, this one named Cambrai, was present near the trade lanes that we passed through.

I think we found a Council presence along the lanes, they seemed to have gained some ground?

[x] [x]

Information about Lorraine

The jump gate was guarded by yet another Valor named Epinal.

[x] x]

Information about Lyonnais

The exit to Kusari's borderworlds was guarded by battleship Vennissieux at the jump gate entryway. This is where our journey inside Gallia stopped.

This system was heavily guarded, much like Orkney.

That's all we found. I hope I helped at least a little bit. I'll be waiting for a reply.
