To the foreign office it is with great news that I return to New London an report with success upon my first mission as Brettonian Diplomatic Envoy to the Council of Gallia an mission in the Orkney system.

I admit at first it is most hard trying to find representatives of these people every person to enter the system of Orkney had little to no information regarding Reunion or the council or anything of the Gallian people.

How ever it was in my great luck that I found such a representative by the name of Vice Admiral Dulac of the council whom had the ability to diplomatically speak on their behalf. I was escorted by him in his battleship the Triumphe through the mind field into the Languedoc system it was there how ever we came under heavy attack by the faction of gallians known as the gallian royals this attack was repelled an we landed on the Guard station Monpellier.

Opening discussions we first launched into a more direct enquiry as to the council itself. It would appear although the Vice Admiral Dulac has the right to speak diplomatically on behalf of the council he is not in fact the leader of the council. The leader of the council is the admiral of the forces however he has been aparently been missing for sometime now he commanded the battleship CLS Guillotine maybe if our boys back home hear any news upon were abouts we can forward it to them however in hindsite Dulac is current acting head of the council and will speak on their behalf to us.

General information about Gallia. The Gallian Royals or the original government before the more democratic liberal council came into play has soley rulled gallia the current head King Louis rules 6 systems 3 core systems are sealed to all outsiders. The Gallian royals are hostile to all outsiders an I have been informed by the council that its intent is to wage war upon the whole of Sirius an its houses. The council holds two systems an they have their two reunion stations in respective places outside the minefields. These two factions are at war an are currently in the second year of the second gallian war between the Royalists an the council. The council have failed to conquer Dauphine an Lorraine. The councils weakness is in industry but there biggest weakness by far is their lack of man power.

The Council's agenda is to make better friends with the houses of Sirius an their two fold goal of preventing Junkers from supplying the Gallic Royal Navy. It might be but a rumour but apparently by far the biggest station of the Junkers an their presence happens to be in Gallic territory we can only hope for the worse that the junkers must have some sort of alliance with the Gallic Royals if the rumours are true. Their second goal is to prevent Nuclear devices to come into the hands of a group known as the Marquis which are a splinter group of the council who seek to defeat the Gallic royals by any means possible even in the mass extermination of their own people as it is apparent to them any none council member is a royalist we may need to be wary of them. The council does not want to see people hurt it is also a personal view of vice admiral that the Marquis has no place in Gallia an should have not part in it. Yet there are other council members whom would disagree.

He then questioned me about our war with the Kusari as should we lose their would be a major change in space in the star maps an he was quite interested I gave him an objective point of view. In a remark to my explanation of our waiting for the right time to remove the Kusari from Leeds he remarked that it mirrors their own battle an their deep patience to pick the right time in their own struggle to move once again on the systems they had failed to conquer.

In regards to the Sovereignty of Orkeny the dispute has been resolved an a treaty been made.

Article 1
Her Majesty the Queen an the empire of Bretonia shall retain sovereignty over the Orkney system

Article 2
The council of Gallia will retain the ownership of Reunion

Article 3
The Council will maintain a force of bombers an fighters that may patrol within 14k from the station or Council owned structure within the orkney system

Article 4
Reunion will not be permitted capital ships within the confines of the orkney system this how ever has been temporarily amended they are permitted Destroyers an gunboats to protect transports an trade vessels of high value as they are under heavy attack by the Outcasts so until that is resolved the temporary amendment stands.



It is also with great news that I have opened trade with the council in a second treaty

Article 1
The Empire of Bretonia an Council of Gallia both open their borders to both free an fair trade amongst the planets an stations of the respective houses.

Article 2
If we produce or Sell devices of Nuclear in nature they are to be well protected an it is illegal to trade nuclear devices in Council territory with the exception of Macon Base in the Burgundy system.

Article 3
The supplying of Nuclear device to the Marquis is forbidden

Article 4
Both Houses will respect the Laws regarding trade for either house less the offender be subject to the law of that house


It is on this day that these treaties are signed we open our arms to new friends and allies in share prosperity. It is my personal view that we have gained the beggining of a very good friendship an potential ally should we be mutually supportive of one another.

The Admiral Bestowed upon me 4 gifts the gift of a substance for our scientists at Cambridge to inspect an make use of. The gift of Knowledge. The gift of a military weapon from the Council armaments and the gift of a new found friend.

Before I finish this report two more incidents occured The colonial Remant interrupted our talks as did a Corsair gunboat known as the Neu later on they claimed to be on a mission of exploration The Vice Admiral did not like this gunboat which was blatantly not on a mission of exploration in council space an sent him out. I believe we should solify our friendship some more as it would appear the vultures are circling.

The Admiral at the end of our talks escorted me back to the Tau jump hole in orkney before returning through the minefield upon our parting he gave best Wishes to Carina Our Queen.

This is the end of my report

Sincerely

The Countess of Araluen
