Salut mes ami's! I trust you are all well and in good spirits, or at least drinking good spirits! The High Command has decided that in order to better prepare our fleet and crews extra combat training is to be offered to any pilot who requests it - various ships will be prepared for our bombers and fighter wings to engage.
Secondly, with the imminent threat of invasion it is more important than ever to remain organised, by which I mean we require all Council vessels, especially the capital ships, to be properly identified. We have set aside funds to make sure that such vessel are named using the 'CLN-Ship Name' form for ease of identification. Remember, these are our brothers and sisters, make sure they are not forgotten! Point them in the direction of this message too - it will be important for them know.
Finally on the issue of capital vessels, I feel it important to reiterate the following:
Do NOT attempt to patrol the trade lane sections of Burgundy and Dauphine without proper escorts.
Do NOT engage enemy forces near civilian shipping routes and especially not near Planet Nevers.
If you are trapped and forced to fight the enemy in one of these scenarios do NOT whine about it. Your ship and crew is YOUR responsibility, I do not want to hear complaints of ambush! Burgundy in particular has several bases of high strategic value, the GRN will use any and all forces to drive our ships away. You have been warned.
For Gallia!
Regards, Alexander du Lac, General of the Council Liberation Navy
