So yeah, how is Battleship Macduff and planet side operations being supplied? Is it smuggling through the Tau gate, to me is just illogical in a RP sense since the KNF would just lock the bugger down.
The only two routes I can recall are through two Jumpholes, one in a hostile zone of Newcastle, and Edinburgh which is a Gaian system is it?
To me MacDuff in lore should evacuate once all the planet side personnel are evacuated and maybe even, the terraforming project scuttled to prevent it falling into Kusari hands.
Edinburgh is a Bretonian system, Lewis is the Gaian system. There is a jumphole behind the Bretonian lines in Tau-31 that allow supplies to reach. Also the McDuff and Harris are rped as being heavily sieged, with supplies getting through secret tunnel in the back of the castle.
I'm not sure who is "in charge" of the supplies, but Bowex does a pretty good job of dropping off some meager supplies to Harris via the jumphole. BMM probably drops some stuff off when headed to the Construction site... Otherwise, yeh a supply run would be a good idea.
Also, does anyone else lol at the Planetform and Bowex transports that try to use the Tau-31 -> Leeds Jumpgate?
I sent a message to Alvin about the idea of getting a little smuggling run with the Bretonian companies with, or without BAF or QCP support. Haven't had a reply yet.
Though the KNF get wind and a spar occurs.
I've been musing over the idea since I keep getting the urge to post a "Bretonian Expeditionary Force Distress Call" when Kusari Special Forces land and fight the BEF on Planet Harris, and are desperate for supplies and reinforcements.

Nope. Bowex is - we run all of Harris' and the MacDuff's supplies through the Edinburgh jump hole. The jump hole to Edinburgh is actually located behind Planet Harris, so, sans-Gaians, it's an extremely safe route. Technically we're supposed to do the T31GCS supplies too.
It can be assumed that the entire Tau 31 - Dundee sector of Edinburgh is heavily locked down by the BAF, seeing as they're a vital strategic access point to the front lines.
