Subject: Investigation of Gallic Systems
Greetings, comrades.
After several weeks worth of attempts, I have finally managed to arrive on the homeland of Gallic Royalty. Doing research has been next to impossible, as nowadays even going to the library requires background checks. Several times I have had to flee my enemies and restart living under different identities, but this time I managed to stay put long enough to acquire some interesting information.
Contrary to the beliefs of our ancestors in Sol, they did not destroy the old French sleeper ship as planned. Reports indicate that a ship named Gallia was constructed separately from all the other ships; this, according to intelligence reports and daily propaganda from the house government, was in response to apparent betrayals by the nations of the other sleeper ships, those which managed to successfully escape. I will make contact again when I have discovered more on this subject.
The Gallic shipyards are bustling with activity, undoubtedly gearing for war. As you are already aware, there is an internal conflict in Gallia at the moment, but the sheer size of the Gallic Royal Navy forces is expanding at an impossible rate, that I am beginning to doubt that the Gallians will stop conflict after defeating the Council rebels (see below). With the hate that is fueled towards the other houses in Sirius sector, I sense that a large storm is about to occur as the Gallic forces push further into Sirius. Not only are they vast in number, but their technological improvements are superior to Sirius; indeed, they are almost as superior as our own. The fighters are extremely agile, the guns are extremely efficient, and the capital ships are bigger than most others in Sirius. Currently, the royal navy seems to be concentrating on isolating Gallia from Sirius, but the production of military vehicles has tripled the past few months.
As with any fascist state in Sirius, there are undoubtedly those who rise up against oppressors. I have identified 4 rebel factions: the Council, the Maquis, the Unione Corse, and the Gallic Brigands. I have no intel at the moment on the Brigands, and all I know of the UC is that they operate a few smuggling spheres. The Council seems to be a faction of freedom-fighters, dedicated to freeing the people from a totalitarian monarchy. This group may be worth looking into for an ally. The Maquis on the other hand, fight simple for the pleasure of murder. They pay no regard to civilian sorrows and have been known to kill innocent men, women, and children who were simply in their path at the wrong time. Regardless, what is surprising is that most of the people of Gallia are downtrodden with the current government. The Gallic Royal Navy is a strict disciple of the crown, but the civilians, corporations, and even the Royal Police sympathize with the Council movement.
That is all the information I have at the moment. I must close off here and move to a different location.
