Lieutenant. The threats on our home front have been all but extinguished. Our society is fully policed by the military, with Gendarmerie doing a stellar job. The Maquisards have withdrawn to detached regions, and all we have to do is keep them there. Gallia proper is the safest it has ever been, with corruption and inefficient nobles calling the shots eradicated. You have done well in focusing our forces outward.
There will inevitably come the time of our expansion - Crayter and Bretonia will be conquered, and so will Kusari which caused so much devastation. But before then, the Tau regions and their resources must be secured, systematically and completely - your incursions deep into adjacent territories are exactly what is required, acquiring prototype technology that could be used against us to be studied is of vital importance.
You have started to establish yourself as the dominant officer within the Flotte Principale, and you might soon find yourself with increased responsibilities and power.
