Aperçu
(Overview)

In some of the more dangerous and remote systems, Police patrols are replaced with more experienced and better armed Royal Navy detachments. To the general public, however, the Gallic Police became a symbol of corruption and decay during the centuries of its existence. Journalists who tried to gather and publish accusatory reports on the Police were often found dead, or simply disappeared for good. In recent decades, the Crown announced a program of extirpating corruption from the Royal Police, and it did succeed on a limited basis. However, in space, where control is loose and mass media is not poking around, some Police pilots freely collaborate with criminals and are involved in a large array of illegal activities.

After years of sitting in the Navy's shadow, removing officers, and a full restructure of the top brass, the Gallic Royal Police under the leader ship of the new Directeur des services actifs (Directeur for short) Theo Decass are fully intent on returning to being the main Policing force for Gallia and finally dousing is past reputation as being an overly corrupt force.

With the End of the war and the splintering of Gallia The Gallic Royal Police, now rebranded as the Police Nationalé, have chosen to continue its service to the Gallic people, and so serve under the new Gallic Conferdate. Still recovering their number's after Pilots left to join the Royal Navy for the war, and then to the Enclave, the Police Nationalé have seen a surge of new Application's to the force, but with Funding focused on rebuilding the Navy the Police find themselves under funded and under equipped, making do with outdated equipment for the time being, the task ahead of them is vast to train fresh faced recruits to become a fully fuctioning police force.


Police nationale Directives
  • To patrol Confederate Gallia and enforce its laws, keeping peace and maintaining a vigil against its Criminals
  • To Police the coming and going of non resident ships and the Cargo they may be hauling into and out of Gallia
  • To Ensure Visa's are up to Date and Requests sent to the correct Application Process
  • To ensure that Gallic mining fields are not poached by non registered ships and coorperations
  • To Monitor and Protect the Confederation from the Enclave.

RE: Gallic Royal Police ([GRP]) - Lanakov - 04-20-2018

Good day !

I am very pleased to see this pop up. Gallia can certainly use a police force to give our traders something to dread/look forward to and a target for our unlawfuls. I'm curious to see how you'll play at the whole "rampant corruption" aspect of the GRP, even though it's been ironed out by reforms. Good luck, at any rate, you can count on the MRG's full support so never hesitate to ask.

Speaking of, here are a couple of advices and suggestions from an actual Gallic person. Perhaps the single most Gallic being of the universe.

First, some language tidbits, with corrections in fabulous purple :

La diplomatie de la Police royale gauloise
Starships d'Police royale gauloise : Vaisseaux de la police royale gauloise. As a general tip, French propositions are super easy. Feminine : de la. Masculine : du. You use d' only when the next word starts with a vowel : it rolls off the ear much better, easy to remember. Italian and I think Spanish have the same rule. So as a consequence, it is always DE LA police royale.
"Navires capitaux" is an improper translation of a concept that doesn't really exist in French, somehow : I've been using the "bâtiments de combat" for MRG because that's what we use in the French navy for anything larger than a patrol boat. It literally translates as "ships of battle". I'd suggest using it for authenticity's sake but it is, of course, merely a suggestion : navires capitaux is perfectly understandable.

Police royale gauloise liste : Effectif de la police royale gauloise

And a suggestion regarding your ranks : they're good ! Very good in fact, and true to form. I have but one remark about Élève lieutenant de police royale gauloise.
Elève means student, or cadet. This rank, in our military and police forces, is for those young officers that are still in academy, or are on their very first assignments and still learning.
It's an interesting concept to have in faction ranks, one I've kept in MRG with the Aspirant, but in your case, seeing as the Elève lieutenant seems to be the backbone of your roster, it might be more appropriate to either have only lieutenant, or one élève lieutenant rank followed by an actual lieutenant. That way, you have the adjoint : bottom of the list, fresh, untrained volunteers who are on the field. And then, if the adjoints want to pursue a career in the police, get more responsibilities, move up in the ranks, they go to the academy, become élèves lieutenants, have their training assignment, and after a period of time to your liking, you can make them full lieutenants.

I think this allows you to have players who are only interested in flying around and doing a few patrols (the adjoints) and more dedicated players who are keen on RPing their characters more deeply and investing more time in the faction. I believe it's important to have both kinds, and modifying your ranks to reflect these possibilities could, perhaps, help gather attention of potential recruits !

That covers it, really. Again, I'm really glad you're trying this out, GRP can be a very interesting faction and certainly something Gallia needs at the moment and that MRG can't always provide due to distances between our frontlines and home space. So congratulations on this fine write-up, good luck in your efforts, and don't hesitate to shoot me a PM if you need anything or have any kind of question.

Cheers !

PS : one last, perhaps vain thing : seeing we've got the Marine Royale Gauloise as GRN, how about Police Royale Gauloise for GRP ? Wink

More activity for Gallia - kudos (altho I never go to Gallia xD) and good luck

Thank you very much for pointing out all the errors I had, they should be fixed now. (Learned this language for 3 years, still got a bad mark Tongue)

About the ranks, could you recheck it again. I updated it and hope it's fine now?

About your last point, the rename will maybe come when we got enough members and a good amount of activity so we can request the officialdom, but for now, we will stick to GRP.

Ps. Again, big kudos to you for helping us!

RE: Gallic Royal Police ([GRP]) - Lanakov - 04-20-2018

Ranks are all good ! I think it makes better sense that way ! Once your faction has aged a little, perhaps it would help people to have a line or two describing the particularities of each rank, to make the distinctions between each clearer. But that can come later ! And of course, it's very reasonable to stick to GRP for now, it'll speak to more people than PRG and we do want your numbers to grow ! Exponentially ! The King needs its borders protected !

Also, the French bits were really good, I could tell the effort and familiarity with the language. My remarks were really superficial and relating to form, but I'm glad you took them into account. Authenticity ! We're Gallic, we need it.

At any rate, you're more than welcome, anything I can do to help ! Smile

RE: Gallic Royal Police ([GRP]) - Sand_Spider - 04-20-2018

I think it's pretty neat that you advocate the use of civilian ships over ones used by the Royal Navy! Perhaps in the fightercrafts section, you ought to list the Moonbeam, Sunbeam and Eclipse first, then the "special permission ships" below that? Also, don't forget that the GMS offers the Tournez Light Miner as a Light Fighter! To me, I always feel like being part of a police faction means having a ship that cruises fast, which means either a Freighter or a Light Fighter. Since the only Light Fighter you've listed so far is the "special permission" Lynx, perhaps adding the Tournez to the roster of freely usable civilian ships would be a good idea?

You might also reach out to Samura Industries in order to secure a few Hayabusas and Drones for your officers, but that's completely optional given that they'd be at 75% on a GRP ID (Which honestly isn't that bad on a 3-gun LF).

The write up, despite being short, is simple and to the point! Sometimes, you just don't need that much space to present your idea to potential members, and having a short faction description is perfect for attracting newer players (As well as those who don't like reading walls-o-text).

I think the great thing about the GRP is that it has the potential for being a second LPI in the sense of corrupt cops. Perhaps the LPI is less corruptable these days (I don't know, I haven't interacted with them lately), but the GRP has some serious potential for interesting smuggler-police RP interactions. Too often, I see both official and indy cops alike pulling the "Drop everything AND pay this huge fine or get spaced" line. If no one is around but the cop and the smuggler though, I can maybe see an officer of the GRP looking the other way if the smuggler tosses a good "tip" their way, if you catch my drift.

The biggest thing you want to do as a Gallic faction is to encourage people to come to Gallia. If people know out-of-character that being stopped by a GRP doesn't necessarily mean "Game Over" for smugglers, this will get them to come back more often. Little else is more frustrating as a smuggler than being told to "Drop all cargo or die!" But, if they only have to drop a freighter's worth for "evidence" purposes, or pay off a few million to keep a cop quiet? It's an interesting and different approach to role playing, plus you get to make some money without killing the golden goose!

I'm already committed to the few factional characters I have, otherwise I'd give this a try, myself! But, it'd be nice to have someone to bump into, if/when I bring my mobile space restaurant into Gallia! The fact that you'll be adding to the GMS' presence in Gallia is a good thing, and who knows - maybe we'll see some Brigand faction crop up soon because of this?
Warm winds to you!

Thank you for this nice words!
I already updated the part with the ships, should look better now Smile

About the LF from the GMS, we will think about that, since inRP they are still mining ships.

Would be awesome to meet you in Gallia!



RE: Gallic Royal Police ([GRP]) - Police Nationale - 10-13-2018

So, This faction is coming back from the dead...again. Though this time hopefully its in for the long haul. Under new management and all that.
I've typed up an Rp post to try and get some interest which ill post tommorow in the Sirius news network type part.
As you can see we have a new Logo, and the information/recruitment/message dump pages have all had a bit of an update. So heres to making a really good go of it.
Glory to the GRP!
