Unlike the other colonies in Sirius, the planets of Ile-de-France and other core systems of Gallia proved to have abundant supplies of oil. Utilizing nearly limitless oil deposits was more efficient for building up the new House than using other types of fuel and alternative means of generating energy. In 234 A.G.S., a giant corporation named EFL Oil, of which the Crown owned a majority share, was formed to control all extraction, transportation, and processing of oil throughout Gallia. In 440 A.G.S., when space colonization was on the rise, EFL absorbed several large shipbuilding and engineering companies, becoming EFL Oil & Machinery. In its new state, the corporation was responsible for building many of the currently operating Gallic space station, including several shipyards and space colonies. EFL, in cooperation with Ile-de-France Shipping, had also built the entire rapid space transportation system of Gallia that includes numerous jump gates and trade lanes. When the invasion of Sirius by Gallic forces began, further manufacturing of EFL's jump gate and trade lane component technology was licensed to Solar Engineering, so that EFL could focus on supporting the invasion forces. This decision remains highly controversial within EFL's management, but the Crown's involvement in EFL serves as a guarantee against Solar being able to supplant EFL's ownership of the technology. Nowadays, EFL is the largest corporation in Gallia, with the total value of its enterprises estimated to be five hundred billion credits, and the number of employees counting as high as six million. It is operating in virtually every field of the Gallic economy, both planet side and in space. In addition to building stations, the corporation is also one of the largest station operators in Gallic space. Despite the enormous damage caused by the Second Gallic War, EFL had sizeable reserves that were used to compensate the losses. Yet, reserves are easily depleted, and the war is not yet over. Moreover, the Sirius invasion is now under way, which also puts the company under considerable strain due to its contracts with defence agencies and with the Royal Navy in particular. Other corporations operating in Gallic space are either smaller, like IDF or Solar, or are less dependent on the government, like GMS. EFL is often considered the symbol of the excessive involvement by the Crown in Gallia's economy, which makes the corporation favoured target for terrorist groups like the Maquis. All these factors combined are expected to cause serious problems for the corporations long term finances unless it undertakes significant restructuring.
Though it goes often unseen from media eyes. EFL has outstanding relationships with local small businesses all across Gallia. Spending billions on electricians, carpenters, and mechanics, for contractor work that, in turn, supports various projects. The relationship is mutually beneficial. Making it often a more favourable partner for younger businesses to establish themselves in Gallia's economy. EFL's obligation to aiding citizens of Gallia can often be shown through its dedication in by offering guest presenters and free advanced instruction tools to work with local schools. Insuring the company is one of the most charitable corporation in terms of sponsoring good causes and giving back to the community. Most newly surfacing employees have attended areas where EFL's influence dominants. Resulting in a corporate boom during 445 A.G.S. shortly after taking over smaller companies. Secretly to keep the company at the forefront of technology in the Energy Industry, consultants in EFL business development group seek out researchers and technology start-ups that are about to push breakthrough energy technologies into the market. Which often results in purchasing companies before their new product reaches the market. With the Crown heavily invested. It is often EFL constructs a new facility in systems designated by the Crown. Opening larger trade routes for companies such as IDF to benefit accordingly with expansion.

Management The Headquarters of EFL is located at Chartres Space Colony where board officials manage EFL assets, and projects using a docking bay sized holodeck often used in ads to display the company's long standing progression. Most recruiting offices with most other Gallic corporations, are located on New Paris where new employees are often sent to the Beauvais Production Facility to study various methods for extracting petrochemicals. Applauded for employee benefits most EFL employees work reasonable hours per day. A vast majority live aboard different space colonies located throughout the forever expanding Gallic territories. With exploration becoming a more interesting hotpot for younger members, these space colonies have become more depended on than ever. Ile-De-France Shipping are often hired to constantly supply the most remote facilities on at a constant rate. Families are often present or are born during decade long stations however some employees working near dangerous locations have been banned from co-worker involvements. EFL movements into particular systems often wake in the development of new Trade Lanes and Jump Gates, so that supplies may arrive at a timely fashion. During EFL Oil's absorption of smaller Gallic corporations in the year 440 A.G.S. it was decided intervention by the Crown's influence was needed. After much debate, determining the corporation's future management became clear. EFL could no longer be managed under the CEO's single authority. The Northern, Southern, and Central operational territories were divided into Corporate Districts each individually managed by Corporate Board Members. With the establishment of the Corporate Board, many EFL assets were reorganized eliminating speculation of collapse due to an inability to properly maintain the various establishments around Gallia.

All these endless hordes of unlawfuls roaming Gallia every hour of the day, tsk.
No, sorry, jokes aside.
As I' used to be part of an EFL faction which sadly disbanded due to various reasons I wish you only the best for officiality. I've seen you guys around quite often lately and you made a very friendly and professional impression on me. Keep it up and good luck guys. :>
