Bonjour, Mesdames et Messieurs.
I am Pierre Lacroix, President of the Board for EFL S.P.A., I request you excuse the lateness of this introduction, the transition has had many hands tied to ensure anarchy does not reign supreme.
But to the point of this message, the former Gallic Kingdom had many EFL facilities converted in their use for a wartime industry and then utilized to manufacture equipment and ships for the use by the Navy. At the end of this month, the next batch of assets will be delivered to the Confederacy which were ordered by the former Kingdom, at least that which was paid for. We took the initiative and retrofitted the vessels to Confederate standards, free of charge. Here is the order to reach you by the end of the month:
XJ-1C "Caracal NG" Gallic Light Fighter x 12
XJ-2C "Serval NG" Gallic Heavy Fighter x 36
XJ-3C "Lynx NG" Gallic Very Heavy Fighter x 24
BXJ-5C "Cougar NG" Gallic Bomber x 24
GCG-4 "Ardent"-class Gunboat x 2
MCU-1 "Aurochs" Freighters x 22
Taureau Armoured Transport x 18
Pachyderme Advanced Train x 3
Included in this order, are repair and replacement options manufactured to limit ship attrition.
Not included in this order are weapons used by the Navy.
Total Cost: 1,964,430,000 (1,708,200,000 +15% for repair and replacement additionals) Paid

Additionally, there were further orders by the Kingdom made before the regime change. These have been put on hold indefinitely, pending cash flow.
Here is what the Kingdom ordered over the next six-month period:
XJ-1 "Caracal" Gallic Light Fighter x 38
XJ-2 "Serval" Gallic Heavy Fighter x 96
XJ-3 "Lynx" Gallic Very Heavy Fighter x 46
BXJ-5 "Cougar" Gallic Bomber x 38
"Perilous"-class Gunboat x 8
MCU-1 "Aurochs" Freighters x 48
Taureau Armoured Transport x 76
Pachyderme Advanced Train x 12
Included in this order, are repair and replacement options manufactured to limit ship attrition.
Not included in this order are weapons used by the Navy.
Total Cost: 7,270,990,000 (6,322,600,000 + 15% for repair and replacement additionals)
XJ-2 "Serval" Gallic Heavy Fighter x 96

These vessels are in various stages of construction, and will take up a significant portion of EFL's infrastructure to complete. With the war now over, I do not suspect the Confederacy will still wish to maintain a wartime economy and will allow EFL to return to its mostly civilian operations. We are however, open to aiding the Confederacy in rebuilding its military hardware through similar contracts, or maintain the current order if the Confederacy are willing to fulfill the capital obligation.
Additionally, a request by the Director of Security of EFL, we are in need of more capable ships to deploy in defence of our facilities at home and vessels venturing in and around the Sirius Sector, especially when navigating areas close to where the remnants of the Kingdom still operating on the route to Kusari State. Assistance would be greatly appreciated in this regard.
Pierre Lacroix,
Président du Conseil,
EFL S.P.A.
