Gendarmerie Gallia-Wide Announcement
The biggest single loss of life in the history of The Gendarmerie or Gallic Police occurred two days ago. Hundreds of Gendarmes have been assisting with deployment of Inhibitors on top of Issodun Shipyard and it's defense. A blow like this has never been felt in Gallic Police as they weren't consisting of enlisted personnel that took direct part in front line combat, unlike modern Gendarmerie. Over three hundred Gendarmes have been killed in action with many more missing.
At 1800 hours right as our inhibitors were starting to be deployed a massive armada of Aliens has appeared at Issodun. The aliens have been slain by the thousands with the joint efforts of Gendarmerie, Main Fleet and even The Order and Crayter Republic.
Unfortunately they have not been the only enemy - the deluded Maquisard and Gaian terrorists have abused the situation, ignored the plight of humanity and lead a frontal assault with their inhumane tactics on Issodun and it's heroes. We have done everything we could, our brothers and sisters have fought valliantly but it was too much.
A big blow
With deepest sadness we have to announce that our very own Director, who has helped to reform the Gendarmerie and has grown to a legendary status in Gallia, Director General of the Gendarmerie Thierry Agard, was killed in the attack.
Thierry Agard, General d'Armee, 6/9/692 - 1/4/745
Search for survivors
We urge all units and Gallic citizens that are not afraid of the danger to help in the search and rescue efforts. We have sustained a heavy blow to our Orkney garrison, our director is gone, hundreds are confirmed dead win many more missing - we do not have the capacity ready to search for survivors. If you come across against anyone in the Orkney region still alive please contact Fort de Bregancon.
Issodun is in ruins and the debris field is making rescue operations most difficult. We are urging all Gallic citizens to refrain from panic in these calamitous times. The Gendarmerie will be replenishing it's ranks and traffic, petty assistance and other duties will be resumed to the best of our ability.
