Synopsis

The Gallic Council of National Freedom and Unity, or just simply The Council, is the populist revolutionary movement in the Kingdom of Gallia, aiming to overthrow the tyrannical monarchy and estabilish a democratic republic in its place. The Second Gallic Civil War, which has been ongoing for over three decades by now, is the result of the opposition between royalist and revolutionary forces.

Thirty-one years ago The Council has successfully started their liberation against the Gallic Crown by taking over the Champagne system in a strategically well-planned move. In the following years The Council continued their attacks on the forces of the Gallic Crown eventually managing to breach the Languedoc defenses, and taking over Planet Quillan and a few facilities nearby. Finally, after the conquer of these systems, the Council started to built up defenses and blockades to stop the planned conquest by the Gallic Royal Navy and to ensure the security of Sirius.

However, it was just a matter of time until the blockade of Languedoc would fall. The Council was aware of that and warned Sirius about the upcoming invasion. During the fall of Languedoc The Council had to evacuate the system and fled into Sirius to build up a new home for the refugees and survivors, reestabilishing themselves in Roussillon in the process.

In the following years The Council has been assisting the forces of Bretonia, Liberty, and several factions of the Tau Region that had to face the Gallic Crown and its invasion force. Besides that, The Council tried to estabilish new trade agreements with the houses and organizations of Sirius, to ensure a better financial status for themselves. While the forces in Roussillon were keen to reinforce the defenses of Bretonia and stabilise the Tau Region, the forces in Champagne focused on tactical strikes and guerilla warfare against the Gallic Crown inside the Kingdom.

As the frontline forces of the Gallic Royal Navy wore thin, the Crown kept sending more and more fleets away from Gallia, reinforcing their push towards the capital of Bretonia at the cost of security elsewhere, including domestic and occupied space alike. The more opportunities arose, the more aggressive The Council became, increasing the frequency and severity of their attacks. This led to the successful reclaimation of Tau-44 from the royalist invaders three years ago, in cooperation with the original inhabitants of the system, the Crayter Republic.

Nowadays three important warfronts are shaping the history of Gallia: Picardy, Provence, and Roussillon. In Picardy The Council has been successfully advancing for years, destroying La Fere Prison Station, liberating Saint-Quentin Space Colony and Haute-Seine Shipyard, and paiting the crosshair on Amiens itself, as the next target. In Provence the ex-royalist deserteur fleet of the CLN Oblique laid siege on the royalist forces, said conflict unfortunately ending with a phyrric victory for the defenders, and the mutual retreat of both sides from the system. In Roussillon the Gallic Royal Navy is having a revanche after a failed attack on their Issoudun Drydock in the neighboring system, while The Council is trying to hold the system long enough to evacuate everyone once again.

Spacecrafts

The vast majority of Council ships were stolen, looted or otherwise plundered from the GRN or GRP, many are older than those currently in use by these factions. The rest are constructed of any metal The Council can get it's hands on that is of high enough quality. While the GRN is more likely to scrap a fighter after it has received significant combat damage Council technicians will do their best to patch the hull and repair it. All of these things give Council ships their aged appearance.
