This faction has been evolving together with Gallia lately. It started small, as a niche faction: a battlegroup of the Gallic Royal Intelligence with a heavy focus on its lore, and an untold, but hinted-at mystery behind it. As Escadron XXII "Les Révélateurs", we went through the last months of the Gallic war, fighting alongside the Royal Navy in the New London Blitz and getting stranded in the Gallic Hebrides together.
But then something happened: the changes that the devs had in store for Gallia coincided with what our characters had been doing and planning. The extent of coincidence was almost uncanny:
The GRI stations in Zurich and Orleanais (the only ones that we built our RP around, and to which we evacuated our role-play assets in Gallia to prevent them from falling to the Council's hands) became GRE bases. It also fit like a puzzle to some other plans, and made the stories to come about "Les Révélateurs" and their puppeteers all the more ironic.
Going Enclave was the only logical choice. That's why we embraced these changes almost as soon as they were announced. As we developed our lore and faction further, we also tried to make \*/~ less of a niche faction, and more accessible to the general Enclave player base. That resulted in a faction that inherits everything that "Les Révélateurs" have done, puts it to good use, but doesn't make it the cornerstone.
Now the faction is styled as a "defense" force of the Enclave military junta, consisting of many units ("Les Révélateurs" included). This is a step away from a snub-and-gunboat focused intelligence unit to a full-scale Enclave military.
Despite that, the faction will still remain story-driven, lore-heavy, and character-focused. Our goal is to give roleplay and gameplay opportunities for any kind of Enclave players, regardless of their preferred activity: snub PVP, cap PVP, trading, in-game non-combat interactions, story writing and character development, Discord RP, and so on. We believe that we could better do it if we became one of the official Enclave factions, hence this application.
