Kingdom of Gallia - Though having conquered New London, Leeds, and Edinburgh, Gallia has been forced to go on the defensive to maintain their iron grip on their new lands. Losing the forward momentum of their grand capital fleet, having sustained heavy losses due to unexpected Sirian resistance from the Liberty, the Colonial Remnant, Hellfire Legion, and other forces located near the barrier gap, a change of doctrine is deemed necessary and implemented swiftly to protect Gallia's assets and very sovereignty, with the coming months a pivotal point for their kingdom.
Securing New London, Gallia patrols the lanes of Bretonia mercilessly, cutting down all freedom fighters and guerillas, while maintaining a defensive stance against Bretonia's government and fleet in exile, situated in Cambridge and Omega 3.
On the Libertonian front, deep force recon patrols made of fighters and bombers form the new cornerstone of Gallic warfare, operating deep behind enemy lines with strike craft to great effect against Liberty's forces, with ONI wings not being an uncommon sight in California and Ontario.
Behind the front lines back in their home territory, rebel, terrorist, and pirate activity spikes greatly with the loss of coordination and momentum down in Bretonia. Anarchy is the order of the day, with several bases being destroyed or captured within Gallia's borderworlds, notably Burgundy, Lorraine, and Provence, stretching Gallia's waning forces even thinner.
Beset by enemies on all sides, Gallia struggles not to become a page in the books of Sirian history.

Bretonia - Their Finest Hour
Kingdom of Bretonia - A nation in exile, forced from their capital and many core systems, the stalwart Bretonian people dig in and regroup in Cambridge. Refusing to wait for Gallia's imminent advance or for someone else to save them, Bretonians both occupied and in exile mount an insurgency, striking out with no remorse against the Gauls occupying their bases and planets, patrolling their lanes, and oppressing their people.
With their main remnants of their fleet forced to defend against the Rheinland flotilla in the Omegas however, the fall of two of the great Houses may be on the horizon. Though the Bretonians practice defiance in defeat and intend to win or go down fighting, will the price be too high with Gallia, the Corsairs, and Mollies all on Bretonia's doorstep, preparing to take what they all believe is rightfully theirs?
“In war, resolution; in defeat, defiance; in victory, magnanimity.”
Even though it was a draft, this is really happening...
Oh please, like it hasn't been "falling" for... what 5 years already? So it's not like what the draft says. Even more so when the Bretonia and Liberty have been eyeing for a counter offensive for quite a few times already.
Also, a Bretonian government in Cambridge is still not a government in exile.
In this draft, Leeds, Edinburgh, and New London are completely under Gallic occupation. There is fighting in Manchester and Newcastle, but against Liberty, not with standing Bretonian forces. Bretonia would've been reduced to Cambridge, Omega-3, and Derry (which is the name Poole would'v received).
As it stands now, Gallia only has one non-contested Bretonian system under their control. There aren't Gauls peacefully living in Leeds and New London or anything of the sort and that's not likely to ever happen. The current situation barely qualifies as an occupation. Whether or not it becomes one is something I'll decline to comment on.
As for Cambridge not being a government in exile, you're right. It isn't. I did make a note at the very top of the thread that this draft contained needless amounts of edge. Part of this includes the use of cool terms without them actually being applied correctly.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing this !
I'm glad the Gallia/Bretonia part didn't go this exact way. Government in exile has been done before with Kusari, I think there are more interesting, and certainly more audacious paths to consider with these developments. Look forward to whatever comes next

I personally wouldn't mind seeing some of these ideas tweaked in the story could lead to some fun. But that's just me I know my opinion tends to be quite unpopular
