The final remaining connection between Liberty and Bretonia has become a whirlwind of activity, fueled by the threat of invasion. Military transports have begun surging between the two Houses, funnelling much needed supplies for Bretonia’s defence and what military strategists predict may be the deciding battle of the war.
The monumental task of fortifying New London has fallen upon the shoulders of the armed forces and civilian transporters, both of which must withstand repeated assaults by the forces of the Gallic Royal Navy as they pass through the North Sheffield ice cloud.

Gallic strikes within Manchester have reportedly doubled in response to the buildup, with an estimated one in three convoys coming under attack by the illusive battlegroup. One Liberty navy pilot described their attacks as surgical and highly focused, each raid aiming to rupture the transports cargoholds with up to four attempted strikes per interdiction.
Rumours of hired smugglers under government employ have begun to circulate in wake of these attacks, as have alleged sightings of Bretonian privateers.

Nation employed pirates, or privateers, are known criminals granted amnesty from past actions in return for their services against a National enemy. Such captains would be free to harass and plunder the enemy forces while often keeping the majority share of the stolen goods, making those who hold letters of marque during wartime extremely wealthy.
However, no conclusive evidence of such individuals under Bretonian employ has been revealed beyond select images used in Gallic propaganda.

Reports of escalating military buildup continue throughout western Sirius as Gallic and Bretonian forces prepare for renewed warfare.
Civilian pilots are strongly advised to avoid the Manchester and Tau 31 systems for the foreseeable future■
