It's been five days since we arrived to the compound... That's too strong a word for just a field of tents and crates in the middle of nowhere. Not somewhere I expected to meet the end of the war we were supposed to win. Blasted Council and their réunion, without them we would've already defeated Bretonia, and maybe even Liberty. But their deck got stacked against our own before we joined the game.

Anyway, can't dwell on that now; we play what we have. That is, a bunch of stubborn power-clingy royalists, some backstabbing opportunists, a few idealists, thousands of officers cast aside by their nation, and a whole lot of hungry and homeless common soldiers and civilians. There are only so many people I can rely on in all this chaos.

Luckily, we can at least rely on our defenses. If Enclave lacks anything, it's not the fleet and the people to man it... for now, at least. By my rough estimation, it is comparable with current Council... Republican forces. If Regent d'Avignon weren't so busy playing her own game, and some of our own people hadn't shown a lack of spine, we could've returned to Gallia and reclaimed our House. But then it would've been left vulnerable for a counter-attack, and we would've left all our conquests in Sirius. So, all this mess may still be for the best.

There is a lot we'll need to take care of. Bretonia will be rebuilding and looking for vengeance. We'll need to set up the infrastructure and industry if we want to keep repelling their assault for years to come.

Contingency 0: Réunion Pesante

In the event of a swift coordinated push into the Gallic Hebrides by Libertonian, Bretonian, Crayterian, and Council fleets, the remaining Enclave military won't stand a chance. Digging in will only prolong the inevitable destruction of our fleets. Assistance from Gallia isn't expected and wouldn't turn the tide. Therefore, engaging the invaders is inadviseable.

All jump-capable fleets are to make way to Omega-49. The remaining bulk of our forces are to converge at planet Bordeaux and destroy everything of value on the surface. After that, they are to form a concentrated force and push towards Languedoc. Self-destruct sequence on all Enclve installations in Gallic Hebrides is to be initiated.

Ships in Omega-49 are to engage and overwhelm any Bretonian defense forces left in the system and deal as much damage to Bretonian facilities as possible. After that, they are to jump to Brittany to assist the bulk of our forces in their push towards Gallia. In Languedoc, or near the mine field in Brittany, we form the defensive perimeter, engaging only hostile non-Gallic forces. Avoid combat with the Council at this point, if possible.

This scenario assumes that Bretonia and its allies unite and attempt to cleanse the Hebrides in the coming weeks. It is unlikely, but we have to plan for it. If successful, this contingency plan will leave us with an even more weakened Bretonia and a stronger Gallia after the war.
