| [750 AGS] Quillan boils under EFL abuse |
|
BÉZIERS -- 750 -- The rage of Quillan’s workers boils under the tyranny of EFL oppression. The dissolution of local workers’ unions has disposed of any pretense that affairs have improved since the fall of the monarchy. EFL continues the tradition of petty aristocrats throughout our history, with their security troops working alongside Corse thugs and Union Marines to brutalize those who resist the erasure of their rights. This villainy has sent the enraged masses flocking to our banner, inspired by the resistance cells on Marne. These sympathizers will be marshaled into a new Quillan vanguard, and nourished with the bread of revolution. |
| [750 AGS] Correcting the record |
|
EPLESSIER -- 750 -- The Grand Marechal and Les Petit Chapeau pat their own backs on New Paris -- the Maquis have noted Gallia’s anniversary very differently. Targeting Amiens, Marne and Quillan, hardcopies of the True History of Gallia have been distributed en-masse. This rips away the lies and fabrications of King Louis I’s “Complete History of Gallia”, poison taught in schools since 118 AGS. This text peddled revisionist lies to vindicate the rule of kings, and in later centuries manufactured the narrative of the “Sirian Betrayal”. This myth is still being regurgitated to bolster the legitimacy of the military dictatorship, and stoke fear against the outside sector. |
| [750 AGS] Ile-de-France campaign avenges Petit |
|
BRUNOY -- 750 -- As our righteous struggle on Marne grows, the Union’s thugs struck down Melodie Petit, an inspirational community leader. Border controls had previously been imposed across Ile-de-France, implicitly threatening to cut the colonies off from imported necessities -- a repressive tool of the fallen monarchy. In the largest operation since the end of the Second Gallic Civil War, Maquis fighters sortied from Ile-de-France’s Saint Cloud, Chevreuse, and Oise fields to simultaneously strike and annihilate the oppressor’s destroyer checkpoints. Despite losses, all objectives were achieved in Petit’s name. |
| [749 AGS] Grand Marshal secures economic victory for Union |
|
NEW PARIS -- 749 AGS -- The Grand Marshal has declared a decisive victory in trade negotiations with Rheinland. Military envoys successfully pressed the Rheinlanders for concessions as recompense for a number of insulting breaches of diplomatic protocol during the recent state visit. As a result, excellent rates on imported minerals have been secured, in addition to the removal of tariffs on Gallic agricultural surplus. The Treaty of Oerlikon will be an enormous boon to rebuilding Gallia's strength and greatness; Bretonia, Kusari and Liberty's furious criticisms of Rheinland for their forward thinking is simply evidence of their weakness and fear. |
| [831 AS] Jump Hole Upheaval Causes Chaos |
|
HEISENBERG -- 831 AS -- Jump holes across Sirius have become increasingly volatile and chaotic over the last year, with Professor Sophia Nagel from the Heisenberg Research Station linking the unusual phenomena to the Pulse. The Pulse was an unprecedented blast of hyperspace energy that was detected immediately prior to last year's Jump Gate Blackout. Professor Nagel and her team are certain the Pulse originated from outside Sirius, but are otherwise no closer to identifying its source or mitigating a future Blackout event. "Following the Blackout, we began to see immediate signs of jump hole destabilization in multiple different regions, with many ultimately falling out of phase alignment altogether", she commented. The dramatic upending of Sirius' jump hole network has already prompted many groups to abandon stations and withdraw from systems that appear to risk being cut off. While months-long trips between the stars are possible thanks to the Liberty Engine and many centuries of innovation, few ships are designed or provisioned to make such arduous journeys. Those who were displaced by Sirius' redrawn map hope that system connections will return, while adventurers and explorers rush to discover new routes. |
| [733 AGS] The Way into Gallia is Open! |
|
REUNION -- 733 AGS, 817 AS -- The Council is proud to announce that the mine fields that have concealed the existence of Gallia from the rest of the Sirius population have been breached in Orkney and Omicron Tau. This achievement has cost us decades of bloody war with Gallic government forces who rejected the rights of the Gallic nation to re-unite with the rest of humanity that escaped Sol more than eight hundred years ago. We will welcome any ships willing to explore Gallic space and establish relations with local factions. In exchange for the passage, we ask for guarantees of neutrality towards the Council, its military and civilian personnel. We also warn that any capital ship fleets or other large military detachments will be denied passage, by force if necessary. Our goal is to prevent the war, not to encourage attacks of other Houses who might consider Gallia its enemy. Gallia is no one's enemy, and our task is to prove it. We hope that after our actions in the Gallic Border Worlds the King of Gallia will demonstrate responsibility and discretion by establishing diplomatic relations with all four Houses and by canceling plans of Sirius-wide aggression. However, even if the relations will be established, we, the Council, will still remain sworn enemies of the Crown, and the Second Gallic Civil War will continue. Our current goal is to hold the passage in Languedoc open for everyone for as long as possible. However, the Royal Navy has assembled an overwhelming fleet in Languedoc that will soon head towards Languedoc. Our casualties has been very high during the recent years of fighting in this system, and odds to win the battles that will follow are very low. Languedoc detachments of the Council, and all civilians willing to escape the prosecution by Gallic government, will have to seek refuge in the Sirius Border Worlds. We are already looking for possible locations where we can build our bases and defensive installations. We are also aware that Sirius space has its own unlawful factions, much like Gallic Brigands and Unione Corse in Gallia. Since our situation is complicated right now, we might seek help of those factions in order to survive and prevent unnecessary casualties. But we also realize that our equipment, ships and weaponry contain Gallic technologies that many Sirius parties are willing to appropriate. We are not trading or exchanging any of our military technologies. If any attempts to capture or attack Council personnel and ships occur, we reserve the right to retaliate with deadly force. |
| [735 AGS] Brigands Secure Deal with Liberty Rogues |
|
MONTAUBAN -- 735 AGS -- In a move guaranteed to cause envy among Gallia's underworld networks, the Free Brigands of Gallia has secured a lucrative agreement with the Liberty Rogues for the import of contraband material from Gallia into Liberty, via their new base in the Roussillion system. At the same time, the Gallic Brigands gain access to a wide variety of Sirian goods to take back into Gallia. With the main effort of the Gallic Navy directed at Bretonia, smuggling opportunities through the Tau systems are plentiful. Brigand representatives are reportedly in talks with the Outcasts to safeguard their passage through the Tau systems, but regardless of the outcome of those negotiations, the volume of goods flowing to and from the Liberty and Gallic black markets is expected to increase dramatically. |
| [733 AGS] Brigands Benefit from the War |
|
EPERNAY -- 733 AGS -- Second Gallic Civil War has been a great time for all sorts of unlawfuls that populate the Gallic space. While the Navy is distracted fighting the Council, and most Police officers are doing what they are used to do - saving their own hides and avoiding any serious fighting - Gallic Brigands and our allies gain power, resources, wealth, and more men and women to fight for our cause. Marne has become a perfect source of recruits that join our ranks. Most of them are not experienced enough, but we now have enough ships to teach them how to fight the Government. Where did we get those ships? The Council was aided substantially by using our supply lines from the Core Gallic Systems. Supplying the Council comes for a price, and while they usually avoid dealing with us directly, caring about the "public eye", the Maquis trade with us freely and simply transfer goods that they purchase from us to the Council. While we are not much concerned by the political motives of the Council, we share their hatred for the government, a rotted monarchy that has no sense of style, and corrupt corporations. If the Council needs help, we will provide as much as they can buy. Since money is not the only thing we need, the Council's new factories on Marne provide us a wide range of various goods necessary for a brigand's life, including ammunition, side arms, ship weaponry, and, most important, new ships. Maquis deliver the stuff to our installation of Epernay, and from Epernay they come to many other Brigands' bases all around the Gallic Border Worlds. Now, as the path to unfamiliar new worlds in Sirius has been opened, the Brigands consider the future possibilities of this unexpected change. While the information on Sirius is now much less expensive than before and is easily accessible from anywhere within Gallia, we still do not have sufficient data on the unlawful groups that most surely exist in the Houses of Sirius and in other populated areas. We are now negotiating with Maquis to see if our survey parties could be granted passage through the mine field to gather intelligence and to find places where we could establish new bases of operations. |
