During the war between Kusari and Gallia, Bretonia granted Kusari permission to transit military vessels through the technically neutral Tau-31. This allowed Kusari to rapidly capture the Gate terminal in Tau-23 before launching assaults into Languedoc itself. Before the war's end, Kusari entered into negotiations with Bretonia regarding the captured Gate's status.
In exchange for joint access to Tau-23's minerals in perpetuity, Kusari transferred control of the Gate to Bretonia. The Tadasu Agreement of 827 AS also saw both Houses commit to defend one another in the event of becoming subject to future Gallic aggression in their mutual Tau border.
Bretonia quickly contracted Ageira's services for the delicate task of keeping the Gallic gate operational. Using experience gained from dissecting abandoned Gallic infrastructure in Bretonia, Ageira cobbled together various workarounds to keep the Gate in one piece. Despite this, there are frequent outages and the extreme stress placed on the Gate's components is shortening the structure's operational lifespan significantly.

| [835 AS] Gallic threats raise Tau fears |
|
SCALPAY OUTPOST -- 835 -- The Taus are once more on edge, after Gallia threatens the use of force to retrieve the Tau-23 to Tau-31 Jump Gate. Bretonia constructed the first Jump Gate in the system, which was later annexed during the Gallic War. Bretonia was gifted the current Gallic Jump Gate by Kusari during their invasion of Gallia, and has held it since -- with Gallia formally ceding its Tau claims through the Treaty of Rishiri. Bretonia has historically refused to discuss the Gate’s status until its own demands on the extradition of war criminals and payment of Gallic War reparations are met. The Bretonian government has warned that Gallic aggression or threats “will not be tolerated”. |
| [835 AS] Omega-11 lanes open for business |

BADEN BADEN -- 835 -- In a ceremony hosted on Baden Baden, Ageira, DSE and DHC officials toasted the first Diamond shipment to use Omega-11’s newly completed Trade Lane. The troubled project was beset by many delays owing to the dangerous conditions, frequent attacks, and -- at times -- alleged sabotage. EFL Oil & Machinery has been a staunch critic of the project, while Rheinland has reveled in its status as a battleground market, where Ageira and EFL vie for influence. Despite the strained smiles at today’s ceremony, Ageira is well aware of Rheinland’s intent to play them against their bitter rival to secure favorable deals. |
| [831] BPA investigation probes droid safety |

MANCHESTER -- 831 -- Detectives investigating the sabotage of Liverpool Station have made a significant breakthrough, after security logs from the attack were forensically reconstructed. Inspector Giles Mattin confirmed that the station’s service droids may have played a role, with footage showing the robots attacking the crew before heading to the reactor. “Anomalous network activity indicated the units were remotely compromised, possibly by Lane Hackers or The Technocracy. We are coordinating closely with Ageira Technologies to ensure the public’s safety,” he concluded. Calls have been made for Parliament to ban service droids across Bretonia until their safety can be verified. Industry leaders have called the proposal “premature alarmism”. |
