Right, we've been working on this for some time now, and its finaly finished. Atleast until the next version comes out. (Lots of updates then probaply). Keep in mind that the faction is completely unofficial until the admins say we can shoot for officiality. This is just to get some input from the community.

Gallic Royal Navy General History Overlay
The Gallic Royal Navy was formed shortly after the crippled French sleeper ship reached Ile-de-France in 84 A.S. In the beginning, the main agenda of the Gallic Royal Navy was space exploration and searching for the other sleeper ships of the former Alliance. With the passage of time and the isolation of Gallia, as well as space flight becoming accessible to many groups and corporations, including criminals, the Gallic Royal Navy switched to internal security tasks; however, they continued to maintain a large number of capital ships and several research projects determined to create superior ships and weapons in case war with the other Houses ever occurred. Today, the Gallic Royal Navy is a powerful military force that can counter any threat to the Crown inside or outside the borders of Gallia.
The Gallic Royal Navy has been fighting a long war with Gallic rebels known as the Council since 748 A.S. over the misguided idea that the Royalist policy of isolation and preparation for total war is detrimental to Gallia and that the current government is oppressive and corrupt. The war ended for a time, but the rebellion that started in 794 A.S. on the planet Marne is universally considered the beginning of the Second Gallic War, a struggle that continues to this day.
The ultimate goal of the Gallic Royal Navy is a war to end all wars against the other former Alliance Houses, establishing dominance over the entire Sirius Sector. The Gallic Royal Navy has zealously pursued this goal by constantly building ships, researching military technology, gathering intelligence, stealing technology, and training new recruits. However, this grand plan was put on hold by the Council when they managed to capture parts of the Gallic border systems, break through the minefields separating Gallia from the rest of Sirius, and make contact with the other Houses. The Gallic Royal Navy is currently dealing with the threat of the rebels and does not have the resources to worry about the foreign houses until they are put down.

Availible ships
Gallic Royal Navy Usable ships:
XJ-1 ''Caracal'' Class Gallic Light Figther.
Rank Required: Levy
Generally used by the recruits and riff-raff of the Gallic Royal Navy, the Caracal is easily replaced and discarded, making it perfect for use during training.
XJ-2 ''Serval'' Class Gallic Heavy Figther.
Rank Required: Levy
Used by the somewhat 'advanced' recruits, the Serval has that little extra bit of armour capable of protecting its pilot, possibly delivering him or her straight into the ranks of the Gallic Royal Navy.
XJ-3 ''Lynx'' Class Gallic Very Heavy Figther.
Rank Required: Men-at-Arms
The sword and the shield of the Gallic Royal Navy, this ship is used by Royal Guards and combat troops alike; the Lynx is the pinnacle of Gallic fighter construction.
BXJ-5 ''Cougar'' Class Gallic Bomber.
Rank Required: Men-at-Arms
Where as the Lynx is the sword and shield, the Cougar is the hammer, designed specifically to take down hostile capital ships, domestic and foreign alike.
Gallic ''Perilous'' Class Gunboat.
Rank Required: Knight
While this gunboat is designed as a support ship rather than a brutality vessel, the Perilous is indeed in a grave danger to all enemies, whether alone or supporting the fleet.
Gallic ''Obstinate'' Class Cruiser.
Rank Required: Margrave
The Obstinate is the soul of the Gallic Royal Navy. With both amazing offensive and defensive capabilities, the Obstinate is seen throughout the entire kingdom of Gallia.
Gallic Royal Navy ''Valor'' Class Battleship.
Rank Required: Duke
The iron fist of the Gallic Royal Navy, the Valor is the pinnacle of capital ship evolution in the entire Sirius Sector. With superior weapons, advanced armor, an excellent power plant and a crew of the most veteran captains in Gallic space, the Valor is truly a force to be reckoned with.
By decree of the Royal Grand Marshall Lacroix, with the approval of the Royal Crown of the Kingdom of Gallia, the orders hereby issued are to be applied and enforced by every man and woman of the Gallic Royal Navy.
Discipline and Loyalty: Men and women in the military service of the Crown are required to be diligent in the execution of their orders; the chain of command which must always be obeyed.

Respect and Image: Men and women representing the Kingdom of Gallia are expected to be respectful toward ever Gallic citizen, be it a noble or commoner. All soldiers of the Crown are expected to talk in a civilized manner. An inability to do so is to insult the language of the Kingdom, and will be considered a crime.
To voice an opinion that could be seen as support for enemies of the Crown or to speak against the Crown is forbidden and will be punished severely.
Valor and Courage. Men and women under the military service of the Crown are expected to obey his orders without hesitation. The enemies of the Crown are expected to be hunted and destroyed by a soldier unless otherwise specified by the chain of command. To land a hand to a comrade in need is a compulsory act of service to the Crown. A valorous and courageous soldier is a good soldier.
The soldier refusing to abide by these principles may be executed for grave charges of cowardice and his or her name will be dishonored.
