We have a contract with the Council to keep piracy at a minimum in Orkney. There isn't much action there, to say the least.
There are 2 possibilities to build on that.
1) Now that Council characters are permitted out of Gallia (some restrictions apply) we can increase that to providing escort/protection services. Our past relationship with Outcasts may give us status to act as a go-between to protect Council diplomatic missions in OC space.
2) Now that Council characters are permitted out of Gallia, we realize this conflicts with our traditional role of working for outcasts. So we would switch to shooting at Council when they leave Gallia, to protect Outcast space, as a new contract with Outcasts. We would also act as (hostile) scouts in Gallia to gain info for Council.
I prefer 2. It opens up more possibility to liven up Gallia. Basically, we would enter Gallia to get information (mapping etc) as spies for the Outcasts, not to shoot anyone. Only when a Council ship tried to leave Gallia for Outcast space would we challenge it. Of course this could be limited to spying only (ie, no challenging them when they leave gallia). When one of us entered Gallia, you (Gallian players) would all be trying to find us and neutralise the spying party. I think it would be fun.
Note : 1) means revising our Council contract. 2) means cancelling our Council contract, and starting a new contract with 101st. (or another outcast faction, but we are currently negotiating with 101st) Perhaps we could add that to the terms of the contract we are currently negotiating with 101st? ie, we act as spies for 101st in Gallia as a secondary benefit of signing with us? (Though I'd like to get paid for the spying. 10 mill per report? or less? lump sum up front? Open to ideas.)
Sounds like a great idea to me. My Gallic Navy Character would very much enjoy hunting down you spies.
Also If you come to close to my Union Corse I would be non to please to see some other 'Pirate' factions spies scoping out our bases. Could be some tension there!

I think yes, although those are Gallic junkers, they may let you using their bases, but they may not like you. I would say you should be careful. Because if Royals will know that junkers are supporting outlanders and possible enemies, they will be in big trouble
Carnage itself flying within void... Proud cardihead ever since 2008...
You all gonna eat cardi!

Gallic Junkers are in a love-Hate relationship with everyone in Gallia. So, maybe. Just dont go docking at places like Bourg-En-Presse in the middle of Burgundy, rather pick the isolated bases like the one in Lorraine.
Although...where are you guys gonna dock? No contract with Council is essentially no contract with their allies, and I doubt they would be privy to let Sirians use their bases for recon that is not beneficial to them.
