The Caussade Project (Completed)

[Front de Libération de Gallia]

The Gallic Navy is in the process of modernizing their military arsenal. We can only slow them down, not stop them. Their production facilities and modern warships in construction are extremely well guarded, and direct assaults on them would lead to massive losses on The Maquis side and would be very haphazard to attempt. So naturally we will proceed with attempting just that, especially by targeting civilians supplying The Union's construction bases and shipyards.

There are silver linings however. Their new warships will be replacing something. Something that will be an afterthought for The Union, something that they will not waste resources guarding heavily. And that something is de-comissioned Ex-Council Vessels and particularly battleships. There is no time to waste - we must capture as many ships scheduled for de-commisioning before The Union melt them down to the base metals and use them to build their modern warships. We must try to capture those sent for refits and maintenance. There are already plans deeply underway to start attempting just that on a large scale.

---

There is just one issue - We have no capacity to repair and make the de-comissioned battleships combat worthy. Verdun both cannot repair battleships and is in an area way too dangerous for large scale logistical operations. We must act swiftly, soon there will be no Ex-council warships we are trained to operate and maintain to capture. Pamiers is decaying and we are unable to make repairs after it will see combat either.

Therefore several months ago after The Union was formed work has begun on a crude drydock frame extension for The Caussade Depot. Our freshly acquired Ex-Council commanders bring with them the basic knowledge of warship maintenance structures and repair procedures, but not much else, and only on a very basic level. it's time to get to work. It will not be perfect, but it ... will be.

We ask all Front Maquisards to log in this file any work or supply done to forward the battleship repair capable drydock project, and to file away contracts and help you have been acquiring over the previous months and thereafter. Most of you are no merde logisticians, at least you core Maquisards aren't - trust in the newly acquired Ex-Council commanders, and don't be dismayed if things go wrong as they undoubtedly will.

Roussillon and Caussade Depot will require:

• Alloys for the crude frame construction.
  
• Salvaged Military Council battleship parts and technology for on the fly repairs.
  
• Hull Panels, Armor, circuits and any other ship construction and upgrade materials.
  
• Munitions, Military Vehicles, ballistic missiles and all armaments we can get our hands on to arm the crews of the acquired rusting battleships.

The military and extremist arms cannot divert large contingents to our Logistics arm at the moment - we must act quickly, strike The Union in various places to spread their forces thin before we direct our strikes at acquiring the old battleships. We have no choice - we have already done so, but we must up the cooperation with third party suppliers to even higher degree. Time is of the essence, if Caussade drydock will not be finished as we manage to capture the de-commisioned rusting ships they will become unsalvageable over time and our frontline efforts that will cost many of our heroes their lives will be in vein.
