I'd like to think that our sometimes valiant efforts in the Merchant Navy had something to do with the removal of Gallic Forces from Her Majesty's hereditary systems. While there are still Gallic incursions into those areas, they are not nearly as large or frequent as previously seen, and something resembling stable borders have returned.
The damages to our lanes and infrastructure are being repaired, and even expanded.
Also, some good trading relationships within friendly houses have been made that will serve us all well into the future, I suspect.
There is cause for Hope.
On another note, piloting a Transport in a convoy under the protection of BAF fighters, gunships and even capitol-class ships is AWESOME!
It is a matter of comfort and great pride to be involved in House level strategic personnel and materiel transfers while under the protections of the BAF. We've even pulled some duty transporting Royal dignitaries and Diplomats, a high Honor.
We have a saying:
"No matter where we are, all space within the firing range of Her Majesty's Navy IS Bretonia!"
