Public Knowledge

Escadron XXII of the Gallic Royal Navy was formed in 733 A.G.S. (817 A.S.), not too long before the Languedoc offensive. Led by warship Représailles (known to Sirians as Retribution), the battlegroup took part in the Tau Campaign against Kusari Naval Forces. After that, the 22nd joined one of the first waves of the Leeds offensive.

Despite heavy resistance, the captain of the Représailles refused to retreat, intent on carrying out the order he was given. The order was fulfilled, but the majority of the battlegroup was lost in the battle above Leeds, flagship included. The sacrifice of so many men and women wasn't in vain: Leeds was eventually conquered, and even the Gallic Royal Court had to take note of the fierce loyalty of surviving officers.

Instead of disbanding the battlegroup, the King sanctioned its reassignment to Royal Intelligence and reassembly under a new name: Les Révélateurs. At first, the decision raised a few eyebrows in the Court, but that was soon eclipsed by more and more news about other battlegroups from the frontlines. Heroes of one day, the survivors of Escadron XXII soon became just drops in the ocean of "soldiers who did their part".

Les Révélateurs fought on the frontlines until the end of the war. They participated in the New London Blitz and the subsequent purging of Leeds. The joint counter-attack of Bretonia and Liberty forced them into the newly-christened Gallic Hebrides along with the remaining Royal invasion fleets. Cut off from the rest of Gallia due to the emergence of the Republique of Gallia and Grand Duchy of Burgundy and the sudden end of war, Escadron XXII have joined forces with other Royalists in a similar position.

Despite the new challenges, the morale is high, for all Révélateurs have one common trait: absolute confidence in the superiority of the Gallic regime and way of life, and fierce loyalty to le Roi. That's why it was no surprise when they decided to comply with the King's will: stay in Gallic Hebrides and help form the fledging Enclave Defense Authority. It may have cost them a chance to return home, but every Révélateur believes that they made the right choice.

Classified Information

The few available records of GRIS-22 operations date back to 710 A.G.S. (794 A.S.), shortly after the start of the Second Gallic War. This GRI cell was primarily charged with investigating the fall of planet Marne to the Council, and how to prevent something like that from happening again.

However, like many other Royal Intelligence cells, GRIS-22 enjoyed a large degree of autonomy in how they pursued their goal, or what additional goals they set for themselves. Whatever results their research yielded were immediately classified.

The sudden end of the war, fragmentation of Gallia, and the emergence of the Gallic Royal Enclave have seemingly left GRIS-22 unaffected. Undercover cells across Gallia continue to operate as before, regardless of new allegiances of the systems. The turmoil and power shifts have even benefited GRIS-22 to some extent.

However, this success may be short-lived. A plan is in the works, that may very well destroy almost everything that GRIS-22 have been working to achieve...

Ranks

• Commandant:

The person officially in charge of Escadron XII Les Révélateurs. Therefore, this person was the face of all GRIS-22 operations. Even though a good Commandant listens to the advice of his officers, the burden of all decisions is ultimately his or hers to bear. To the battlegroup, the Commandant's word is second only to the King's.

• Capitaine

The Capitaines of Les Révélateurs are individuals who have proven their abilities on the battlefield or in the planning room, or in some other way. These people were entrusted with most of the battlegroup's secrets and are expected to assist the Commandant.

• Lieutenant:

The recently-transferred replacements, and the majority of commissioned officers in the battlegroup. These people have already proven their skills by being here, but they are yet to prove their loyalty. Their access to GRIS-22 data was limited. For all they knew, they were a part of a battlegroup temporarily assigned to Royal Intelligence.

Goals & Objectives

• Become le Roi's most trusted agents.
• Ensure the superior position of Gallia in Sirius, whatever it takes.
• Assist Gallic Forces with their duties, whenever feasible.
• Undermine potential threats to Gallia, wherever possible.
• Conduct reconnaissance missions for the Royal Navy.
• Obtain rare items and materials potentially useful to Gallia in any way.
• Usurp any knowledge of potential use.
• Preserve and promote the Gallic monarchy and way of life.
