Bonjour!

It has been a while since Orkney! We still owe you big time, and believe me the surviving ex-royalists within The Union still talk about that day, and probably will for decades to come. But I am not here to talk about our explosive victory that burned thousands of Enclave families.

I am here to talk about a minor threat that could once again lead to our joint operations. It started a few weeks ago - La Maréchaussée de Gaule that was seen countless of times being within the standard Union structure, allying with EFL and rest of Gallic Navy, taking orders from them (as you yourself have clearly seen during The Noble Funeral no doubt) began to act erratically.

First they were seen with what we presumed was a strange Union weapon in Edinburgh, far from The Union supply lines and bases, side by side with La Maréchaussée de Gaule, acting as one.

Some Sirian group called The Order tried to manipulate us into believing it's some sort of fantastical far-fetched alien technology, but they also openly admitted to work with The Union, and denied literal tens of lines of evidence that La Maréchaussée de Gaule were part of The Union structure at the time. That group clearly cannot be trusted, but it did raise questions about La Maréchaussée de Gaule.

Unrest within the Union
Something even stranger happened a few weeks later - when looking for vulnerable targets we have seen MdG be side by side with their Gallic Navy and GNI brethren. But instead of the usual engaging of us side by side like they were doing past several months - they ignored our vessel and instead started shooting each other!


A Royalist splinter cell emerges
Well looks like there is some sort of a turmoil within The Union - the legions of ex-royalists have some squabble with the equally guilty open royalists. It appears that several of them decided to play semantics and departed The Union, lead by La Maréchaussée de Gaule. We have seen a few of them in Edinburgh, side by side with current Union pilots - it is possible they are trying to recruit more of Gallic Navy people to their little rag-tag group.


A minor threat on your doorstep
As you probably know, Roussillon is well guarded. Together with Gaian help we have repelled The Enclave itself from it, the same Enclave that was several orders of magnitude stronger than the current splinter Union cell from what we have seen - and let's not forget that was before we had Pamiers at our disposal. It's hard for us to take them seriously. When we compare them to the insurmountable logistical might of the Union it would appear they no longer make use of since they attacked EFL, GN and GNI, they are nothing but an afterthought.

The Rodez Wreck is the reminder of what happens to Royalists that dare to show their heads in the open in Roussillon.


Nevertheless, I thought it prudent to warn you about the Royalists operating from some sort of hive, possibly in the Edinburgh system once again on your doorstep. We are more than willing to start repaying the huge debt we owe you for Orkney by offering joint Maquis-Gaian patrols around Gaia and The Taus

Hunting Season
There are also many let's say, more enthusiastic, Maquisards that enjoy nothing more than hunting, torturing (and worse) of Royalists for sport, and they got a litter of new easy pickings to slaughter, coming right next to their area of operation in Roussillon. We will be organizing a raiding party soon, probably with our bomber wings, and we would be honored if you would join them on the hunt.

There will be lots of bonding over mutilating any Royalist pray the party comes across, glory to go around and more.


In conclusion
I hope you will find this intel of value, and here's me hoping you will join us on our bomber raid - the details will be transmitted in about a week's time.
