Subject: Investigation of Gallic Systems
Hello, again, comrades.
I have relocated to Planet Quillan in the Languedoc system since the last report. Royal Intelligence agents discovered my fake identity, so I was forced to escape. After being a stowaway on a Gallic Metal Services transport, I bodily escaped the transport and drifted through 23 kilometers of outer space before being picked up by a Council patrol, and by a series of connections I escaped the heartland of Gallia and safely made it to Planet Quillan.
The situation here has taken a turn for the worse. As we feared, the Gallic Royalty has prepared for an invasion of Sirius Sector. News arrived yesterday of a massive armada breaking through the Council fortifications around the Dauphine Jump hole in this system. In appearance, it looks as if a wall of white armor is slowly moving toward this planet. Council flyers are being sortied around the clock, some to fight the Navy and others to move supplies. The Council has begun transporting a large number of mines from around the Orkney Jump hole into the middle of Languedoc in an attempt to slow down the Royal Navy's advance. Plans have been made to evacuate from this system into Orkney and the Taus, and civilians and Council personnel are being shuttled out around the clock. Thankfully, the Royal Navy's advance seems very slow and careful, which has allowed many of the evacuations to take place.
The size of the Royal Navy fleet is disturbingly large. The fleet is probably 15 times the size needed to retake this system, so I have the feeling that an invasion of the nearby Sirius system will commence. From patterns I have observed and from my knowledge of the immediate systems, factions identified as the Independent Miners Guild, Kusari Navy, and Gaian Forces will be the first in Sirius to come into contact with the Royal Navy.
I will send further message updates of the Gallic Invasion as I track the progress further into Sirius.
