Subject: Recon in Gallic space
Today, Captain Orley, Ensign Golanski and myself undertook a recon operation in the newly discovered house of Gallia. Our recon findings were scarce unfortunately.
Throughout this mission we were looking to collect samples of Gallic technology but unfortunately we were only successful in obtaining scans of Gallic vessels and weaponry.
The most interesting aspect of this mission however turned out to be interaction with a general of the Gallic Royal Navy whos proposal we promised to forward to Order High Command.
Our entry into Gallia through the Languedoc system went without incident. The large debris fields left by the fighting between the Council and the GRN offered little in the way of scavengable technology.
From Languedoc we proceeded to the Dauphine system via a jump hole. This allowed us to circumvent the significant GRN forces stationed at the jump gate.
Once we reached Dauphine we continued our search for Gallic technology but the wrecked fighters scattered about the system had already been stripped of usable equipment.
On further exploration we discovered a base willing to let us dock and we took the opportunity to gather supplies. While refueling and talking to the crew, I was able to examine some of the space craft in the stations hangar bay and gather some information on Gallic space craft design.
After leaving this base we made our way to the Burgandy system. It was here that we were picked up by a pilot of the GRN. We continued flying for some time with the ship in persuit before GRN reinforcements arrived and our cruise engines were disrupted. What we originally thought was going to be a battle however quickly turned into discussion as we found out that one of the vessels we had been intercepted by was piloted by a general of the Gallic Royal Navy. Discussion veered towards the Nomad threat and what little knowledge of it the Gallians claimed to have. Several interesting points were brought up, including the fact that the general had already spoken to one Christopher Dangen about the Order and the treat posed by the Nomads.
The general was however much more interested in aquiring a sample of a Nomad and as a condition of our relese we were told to bring word of this request to Order High Command. The general also made it quite clear that if we were to have dealings with Gallia that they should be with the GRN rather than the Council.
Whether or not to grant the general's request is a matter for high command but I must make it clear that I do not believe supplying the GRN with Nomad samples is a very wise decision. If Gallia has indeed had no contact with Nomads [which I am not entirely sure they were honest about] then they have no idea how to properly handle or contain Nomad infection. I know I don't need to remind anyone of what happened last time Nomad infection spread in the upper echelons of a house government.
While these talks were going on I was able to glean scans of Gallic military vessels and technology.
Once the talks had been concluded we were escorted out of Gallic space via the Lorraine system. This led us into Outcast space from where we made our way home to Omicron Minor.
This concludes my report.
Corporal Leigh out.
