Mesdames et Messieurs,

Although this channel has been relatively quiet ever since the new year - with the exception of a few reports -, Sirius, Gallia has not really been. The Gallic Royal Navy keeps pushing towards Liberty, trying to cut off Cortez as well after taking control over the Magellan system. While our Libertonian, Bretonian et Crayterian allies combat them in the heart of Sirius, we are not laying back arms crossed either.

The advancing Flotte Fierté has successfully besieged et liberated La Fere prison station, releasing all the political prisoners the Crown deemed to be a thorn in the side of their oppressive tyranny. This victory has boosted both the moral as well as the numbers of our own with only negligible causalities suffered during the operation. As unstoppable as they are, Flotte Fierté is moving forward, with the flagship of the fleet, CLN La Fierté taking position closer to Saint-Quentin Space Colony et Peronne Shipping Platform. It is no surprise the local royalist defenses are afraid of us, intelligence reports suggest the sudden mobilisation of the RNS Saumur and her battlegroup as a swift response to losing the prison station.

Taking the opportunity provided by our swift move into the Picardy system, a small team of scientists have fled Calais Research Station during the brief chaos after the fall of La Fere in order to join our ranks. Docteur Germain Descroizilles, the leader of the team, explained their choice by handing over the blueprints of a new warship the Gallic Royal Forces intend to utilize for domestic peacekeeping through drastic measures. This ship, dubbed the "Triumph", features a ventral version of a Warwolf cannon, capable of devastating high-precision strikes from far above. Docteur Descroizilles says the intended use against civilian targets is what made him et his team disgusted with the current regime enough to make their choice of fleeing to join us. The usual background checks as well as their gift have proven well enough that their intentions are honest et their skills will be of great use for the Council, welcome them aboard as warm as I do, s'il vous plaît.

Docteur Lavoisier et his team has not been lazy either, during January they've managed to inspect the given blueprints thoroughly enough, et since we don't want to glass planetary settlements from above, they've redesigned the plans into the "Penance" destroyer, a massive troop transport ship with thicker armor et more powerful weaponry than what we used to have until now. Due to lack of resources the High Command decided to scuttle two of our Obstinate-class battlecruisers in Champagne, et use up their parts for three Penance-class destroyers. Weapon et flight tests are still underway, though we hope to see them in action by the next week. Our redesigned version of the blueprints has been shared with our closest allies within the Flotte Dispersée as a sign of our good will et hope that they'll keep assisting us against the lapdogs of the Crown.

Certainement there will be plenty of opportunities for the above. January has kept myself et the High Command busy examining intelligence reports regarding military et logistical movements of the Gallic Royal Navy within the Tau Region. Docteur Lavoisier offered a prototype warhead for live tests two months ago, by now we've concluded the perfect occasion et target. Estimations indicate the RNS Montmorency will sufficiently lack defenses et nearby patrols next week while the MRG moves more et more forces towards Bretonia et Liberty. Be prepared for a major clash with hostile forces in Orkney, we will teach them a lesson they will not like.

More distant plans for the year include increased amount of forces spread throughout the entirety of GRN supply lines in order to increase the amount of our opportunities of successful strikes at strategic locations, bleeding them out as much as we can. In addition to that Flotte Fierté will keep advancing in Picardy while Flottille Insurgée Rouge will advance further into Provence, eventually to a point where the CLN Oblique will have to engage the RNS Arles sooner or later. When that happens, we do not know yet, but we certainly look forward positively to what the year brings.

C'est tout pour maintenant. Bonne Nouvelle Année. LaFlamme out.
