This is Chusa Myuki Kokori, from the Exploration Wing, IKN-Niihama.
We reached Gallia. We've followed the Orkney jump hole in Tau 23, from there we found a station called Reunion. We docked there, to get some supplies and some rest, I hope it could have been a peacefully stay, but seems they allow many races to stay on their facilities, playing some kind of Zoner game.
Right next to the Reunion station, there is a huge mine field, I've never seen something like that before, it looks designed to keep capital ships out of their territory, or that's what I though at first. Following the laberint made by that mine field, there is a jump hole leading to the Languedoc system, and we got through it.
The first sight of Languedoc is not encouraging, there are many weapon platforms surrounding the jump hole, there is also a abandoned station, the Montpellier Guard Station. Once we got out of that area, a big planet was detected by our scanners, when approched it, that's the planet Quillan. It's heavyly defended as well, as everything seems to be.
A council officer met us there. After a breve explination of why we were there. He teached us about Gallia a bit. The Council is trying to open Gallia's doors to the rest of Sirius, in certain way the Gallic Royalty is trying to do the same, but instead of Sirius coming to Gallia, they want to conquer Sirius, at least that's what he told me.
We got permission from this officer to land on planet Quilla. He told us that there wasn't going to be a problem if we want to explore Languedoc, they have been keeping the Royals at Dauphine's gate, so we just need to avoid that gate.
Languedoc is a big system, but there is nothing much to explore, the Council resources are mostly used in the war against the Crown, gallic coorporations work under the Crown's orders. Even the junkers, those snaky life suckers, they have been working for the Royal Navy for a long time now. The council hates the Junkers, but apart of junkers, they are very friendly with the rest of Sirius, oh, except Outcasts. This officer was alarmed when I gave the notice of an Outcast Destroyer near the Reunion.
On planet Quilla, I did some research, I read about the war with the crown. It has been long and cruel, you can note that even fly through their systems, the wrecks are everywhere. The Royal Navy has been trying to reach Sirius for a long time now, apparently they have an incomparable fleet, from what I heard, even bigger than our. I got many dates and places of battles, mostly related to their past. Showing how the Council and Maquis have been delaying the Royal Navy so far.
The Maquis are a curious group, when they seem to be the "good" guys along with the Council, some people in Quilla have told me that they are criminals, and when the Council is not watching they rob, so far, I have not met any Maqui, I'm willing to meet one to learn more about them.
Since then, we have been exploring Languedoc, basing our operations in QUilla and Nimes, a station near the planet Cerbere. From time to time, we have helped the Council fighting the Gallic Royal. I know that we have a peacefuly mission, but the Royals were more interested in blowing us up from the skies than anything else, we got no other chance but to fight back.
