Rush on Gallia

[jammi]

Note on Bretonia's discovery of Gallia: Bowex has been extremely interested in Orkney and Tau 23 for the past few weeks. A significant number of exploration ships (that is one of Bowex's primary roles - exploration) were dispatched to the Tau 31 Gate Site owned by BMM, to launch into Orkney.

The original intent was to do more surveys as to the feasibility of colonising the system's planet, as well as a more 'discreet' missions as to authenticate some rumours about unidentified ships roaming the system, which the Miners had been spreading. Needless to say, Bretonia stumbled across the new House.

The intel was passed on to the House of Lords, who then ordered the Admiralty to seal the system in the interests of security and intelligence gathering.

And there you have it. Ingame the Bowex]Mountbatten has been surveying Orkney, and hopefully will be involved in making ties with Gallia itself. But then, I wouldn't dare to log back in on it out there until, 1) the BAF and Bowex Exploration/Security Management authorise it, and 2) the Horde had died down to a reasonable level.

As for knowing about Gallia, and first contact, I think that happened at some unspecified point several weeks/months before the mod release. You can go to a Corsair base, on the other side of the galaxy and find news articles regarding Gallia's discovery and how the Outcasts had gone in gun's blazing.

Gallia doesn't appear to be any well kept secret, and more than enough people seem to know about it and it's location.
