Gallic Union Suffers Defeat In Taus |
| PLANET HARRIS - With the Crown's forces, as well as Crayter's own, now returning to Tau-31 after a bloody siege of a border fortress of the Gallic Union, higher ranking officers scramble to celebrate the victory over the Kingdom's northern neighbor and the establishment of an even tigher-controlled blockade. The total duration of the military operation, while having lasted only a week, has caused significant casualties on either side, most notably amongst the participating units of the 1st Command Fleet. As the event is already being greatly honored across the Armed Forces, government officials have refrained from releasing statements related to the unfolding offensive action in the border worlds, instead signaling that any celebration may be cut short by news of casualties. What does this event change for Bretonia? - Though the blockade imposed in 827 AS by the Kingdom of Bretonia, the Empire of Kusari and the Republic of Crayter upon the newly-formed Gallic state was subject to initial success, it quickly became clear that any major attempt to cut trade and rout blockade runners would have to involve significant deployments to destroy the remaining Gallic Navy installations in the region. While two prior attempts were made, they were unsuccessful at causing long-lasting damage, but achieved a tactical victory by drawing Union forces away from Issoudun, which fell against Nomad-aligned cells still active in the Taus. As Fort de Bregancon, the main base of operations for the Gallic Navy, has finally been destroyed in a concerted effort done by both Crayter and Bretonian fleets, the reach of the Union has been cut dead in its tracks by the bold moves of the Royal Bretonian Navy. Nevertheless, in doing these rapid breakthroughs, many of best trained and equipped fell in battle, supporting the first assaults against dug-in forces. Uncertain future for the Taus - In addition to putting an end to Gallic influence in Sirius and further helping in enforcing the strict sanctions imposed upon the Union, the victory also marks the start of a new 'Cold War' between Kusari and Bretonia -- both looking towards the vast riches of Tau-23 as the next logical step to undertake in the Taus. Direct conflict remains out of the question as neither side is capable of funding a long war, but, as shown in recent months by the disappearance of several warships of Bretonian and Kusari origin, border clashes similar to those unfolding against the Gallic Union may begin to be a daily occurrence. Still, officials have thus far assured citizens of both Great Houses that 'the strong partnership between the Kingdom of Bretonia and the Empire of Kusari will continue'. |
