Bonjour.

Normally this sort of thing is done by underlings, but apparently this has to come from me, for some reason. Anyway, some context first.
As you know, we're tightening the grip on the remnants of the Bretonian kingdom using all we've got. No time for attrition anymore. It's been decided that we should start making good use of our occupied territories to feed our coffers, in turn giving us more leeway to keep our fleet up and reinforce it where needed. In short : no more playing nice and easy ; we will take what we need from the places we control in an effort to finish this war by Noël. I find this deadline to be a little presomptuous, but it's not in my hands.

I've been tasked with figuring out how we can best capitalise on our new possessions on the short term. Leeds is out of the question as it'll be years before it resembles an actual planet... But Dublin, Dublin is home to a lot of gold still, even following the Bretonians' efforts to strip mine the place. We are not miners, but the Dubliners certainly are, and a veritable armada of foraging stations litters the system. Our system.

For those of you not smart enough to see where I'm going with this : you're going to put the squeeze on all those modular bases. Constant and successful 5G raids in Dublin have demonstrated that the system is now ours in name and in fact. What remains of the Bretonian military is too busy chasing their own tails elsewhere and looking for the next seat of their fleeing government. This means that all those stations in Dublin fall under the Gallic law as of now. She grins.

Opération Farfadet is simple. We will find and document every modular installation in Dublin. We will offer their owners a simple choice. And we will act decisively on each of their responses. At the end of Farfadet, Dublin will have turned into a very profitable system, or a cleaned-up system ready to be exploited and fully developed by our corporations.

Here are your mission objectives for part one of Opération Farfadet.
- Patrol the Dublin system as discreetly as possible. We aim to surprise the miners so that they have only a tiny window to reply to our demands, so the pressure we apply will be all the more effective.
- Locate modular installations. Upon making contact, demand to dock with it and take note of the base's reaction.
- Report your findings by replying to this transmission, using the attached form.

Each successful and verified report will be rewarded by a bonus of ten million francs. That you should be paid extra to do your job boggles my mind, but these are the times we live in.

Now get out there and bring me those bases. The party is about to start.
