Junker/Gallia Connection

[blubba]

Do I believe?

"you believe it is completely due to the Junker's help that they (The Council) are in Gallia"?
No. Nothing of the sort.
Absolutely not. Not even close. As far as the Junkers are concerned, the Council ARE Gallia, as are the Royalists and all the others.

"Do you honestly think The Council held control over Champagne and Languedoc all this time? No, before the Council took action against the Gallic Royals, those systems were under Royalist control. One thing I do recall reading was that the revolution started on Planet Marne, which is of course in Champagne.
The minefield itself was put up by the Royals, meaning they controlled the Languedoc system untill Council forces pushed them out to open the mine field, placing Quillan the trade lanes, and other bases in their control".

I'm sure your history is spot on and I have no quibbels with any of it.
I would say that with my limited knowledge of Gallia, The Council didn't exist until some of the population got upset with people in charge. That stands to reason. They then formed themselves into a cohesive unit and showed their hand on planet Marne, which is pretty much what you have said. Or are we now saying the war in Gallia started the moment they arrived?

"No, before the Council took action against the Gallic Royals, those systems were under Royalist control".

So, the war hadn't started until then and you obviously agree with me as per the above statement.

"under Royalist control"

Hmm...they were not 'Royalist'. There was only Gallia UNTIL the revolution at which point two sides came into being. The Royalists and the 'others' (Council, Marquis etc).

"One thing I do recall reading was that the revolution started on Planet Marne, which is of course in Champagne."

Indeed. One Gallia until the revolution which you have now confirmed for me above which also supports the suggestion below.

The mine field was put up long before the Council existed. Shortly after the Gauls arrived.
The GAULS put the minefield in place. Not the 'Royalists' or the 'Council' but the Gauls. The war caused it to be opened. Who controlled what and when is immaterial to the Junkers and that is what this is about.
The Junkers were employed by the Gauls, not specifically the Royalists, but the Gauls, when it was a single nation, before the war.
The Junkers served the Gallia people then, as they do now. Not the Royalists or the Council but the Gallia people.
They do not support ANY faction in a war. Infact, they are famous for it.
That is what I believe.
