Good day,
As you are all no doubt aware, the Gallic Royal Navy is making a solid push to evict the Council from Roussillon. Obviously, considering the recent evacuation, the Council is not confident in their ability to hold the system. Reports I've received, both from the Fleet and our allies, agree with that assessment. With the number of nuclear weapons that the Council imported, it seems likely to assume they're planning a scorched earth retreat. If so, it's very possible that the Royals, in the absence of exploitable resources or any major strategic objectives, will elect to move their forces elsewhere, leaving the system unoccupied.
Should that occur, I want all of you to to be ready for an immediate large-scale security and humanitarian effort in Roussillon. If there are any survivors left on Toulouse, they're going to need a lot of assistance, and having unsecured space on our borders is just asking for trouble later down the line.
