Le Maquis

All of the information that's contained in this channel, contains information of an old previously installed Council database, and it is updating as the time is passing.

The Maquis is a terrorist organisation, consisting of mainly former Council pilots who seek through more noticeable acts that damage the Crown. The Maquis compared to the Council is attacking civilians who are supporting the Royal Navy in both direct and indirect ways. There were numerous assassinations and attempts to kill any Royal Navy commander, along with numerous bombardments of installations. They're called as terrorists, for their extreme and successful method of attempting to overthrow the Crown through act of terrorism. The Maquis pilots are mainly Council pilots who're searching for more extreme methods of having influence within gallia and more. Maquisards consider the Council too soft on their demands and moves to overthrow the Crown. Therefore, they're showing the Council how things really should be done. Compared to Council who doesn't attack Gallic Metal Services and other, the Maquis is extremely hostile towards them, believing that terrorism is the only successful way to attack indirect Royal navy supporters, along with direct supporters. The Maquis has several goals. One of them is to overthrow the Gallic Monarchy, support the Revolutionary movement and get people to join the Revolutionary movement. They're notorious for their successful methods, such as cutting supplies that are headed towards the Crown, compared to Council who doesn't do so. However, Maquis is still remaining a strong ally of the Council, along with everyone else who's having its part in revolutionary movement to overthrow the Crown. They believe revolutionary members must cooperate, despite the fact how they have differect methods of acts.

Le Maquis Operation Bases

---

Chambery Base, Burgundy System

Chambery is a small base used by the Maquis as a supply depot for attacks on Avallon, and traffic headed to it. It was likely built around 650 AGS, by smugglers looking to hide goods brought in from the Dauphine system. Smugglers still visit the station, but nowadays tend to cheaply buy cargo dragged back by the Maquis raiders, or exchanging it directly for weapons and supplies.

Avon Hideout, Ile-de-France System

Avon was one of the first Pirate bases founded in Gallia. No one knows exactly when this occured or who the people were that were daring enough to inhabit an asteroid in the central part of Vincennes Nebula, but most likely it were the forerunners of the Gallic Brigands. The asteroid was hollowed by tunnels without much planning or control, and towards 700 A.G.S. the facility literally started to fall apart. With many parts of the asteroid depressurized, most of the pirates chose to leave.

The Maquis eventually repressurised and repaired some parts of the base, and use it to strike at the heart of the Gallic Capitol. These days, Avon is still far from being a reliable facility, with dozens of unexplored tunnels and pathways. Pressurization problems still emerge from time to time. However, the base does fulfil most housing and security needs of the numerous Maquis who live there. Security is tight in and around Avon, since the Maquis know that if the Gallic Royal Navy would learn the location of the base, it would not be able to withstand an attack for long.

Caussade Depot, Roussillion System

The Maquis who arrived in Roussillon chose to create a base of their own, separate from the Council. Maquis scouts found a suitable asteroid within the Tarn Barrier Nebula. Located on the opposing side of the system relative to Montauban Base, the Maquis could enjoy as much privacy as they wished to in their new living space. Caussade currently houses only a small population, all of which are directly affiliated with the Maquis. Family members that aren't integral to the cause instead reside on Toulouse.

Eplessier Depot, Picardy System

The Eplessier Depot is a relatively small installation built by the Maquis within the Avre Asteroid Field. The station allows the Maquis to attack traffic heading for Planet Amiens, and also allows them to harass ships near both the system's Jump Gates.

Charost Depot, Tau-31 System

Charost Depot is the result of a collaboration between the Maquis and Council, recently carved into one of the more massive ice rocks in Tau-31. While unfinished, it is already an operational outpost that is administrated and maintained by the Maquis. It fulfills the most basic needs of both factions by providing a fairly remote staging point from which to launch guerilla strikes on GRN assets and supply lines. The ever more frequent raids are successful, but might eventually expose the new base.

Grenoble Depot, Dauphine System

Grenoble is a small space station built by the Council in 811 A.S. in order to prepare for the invasion of Languedoc. Unlike several maintainance and storage satellites that later selfdestructed when Royal Navy ships approached them, Grenoble was not destroyed but rather given to the Maquis, to compensate them for their help in the Languedoc campaign. The Maquis extended the station and reinforced its hull to counter possible future assaults of Navy fighters.

Limoux Base, Languedoc System

Maquis have established a base of operations in Languedoc in 691 A.S., when they were still part of the Council. Maquis of Languedoc are known to be very loyal to the Council, and even dispatched ships to fight against the Gallic Royal Navy on the Council's side when battles for Languedoc took place. In exchange, the Council supported Limoux with both supplies and manpower, repairing ships and providing new ones. The Maquis frequently send raiding parties as far as Dauphine and Burgundy, plundering civilian convoys, and attacking Navy patrols where able.

Mazagran Depot, Champagne System

The Maquis operate openly in Champagne space, dispatching raiders to nearby Burgundy and Lorraine. The Council tolerate their presence, since the Maquis often offer invaluable military help.

Lapalisse Depot, Tau-53 system

Lapalisse depot is a relatively new construction by the Maquis in the Tau-53 system, built to serve as a refuel point for Maquis raids into Kusari as trade between the two houses continued. Work on Lapalisse was never fully completed, as shipments into Tau-53 from the Maquis' power base in Gallia came to a grinding halt with the arrival of the Venissieux. Though only partially functional, the Maquis have now redoubled their efforts in striking at the system's crucial trade artery, with some brave pilots even daring to assault La Charite and the Venissieux's battlegroup directly. Rumor aboard the depot is that the Maquis leadership intend to make contact with the Blood Dragons in hopes of finishing construction of Lapalisse, making a number of the insular movement's members uneasy. Whether or not there is any truth to these claims remains to be seen, though vocal higher ups within the Maquis make a strong case for an alliance between the two rebel groups.

Verdun Base, Lorraine

The Maquis used a large asteroid in the central area of the Longwy Asteroid Field to establish this secret base. The Maquis center of operations in the system, it is one of their most well equipped outposts in Gallia, complete with amenities that aren't found in other bases. From here, they launch attacks against Gallic Royal Navy installations and patrols in Lorraine system.

Le Maquis Menpower

---

Le Maquis mainly consisting of former Council pilots who decided to leave Council and join Maquis, for their extreme needs to use terrorism and believe terrorism is the only way to solve this terrible warfare. Le Maquis is not as numerous as Council, however, Maquis owns large members of squadrons who contain few hundreds up to few thousands of raiders. Maquis is very effective in their strategy, which is offering some extreme future terrorists a place to join.

Le Maquis is mainly using Council ships and Council technology. As former Council pilots, they completely understand Council technology. They also use ships from other revolutionary movements ships, however, with lower understandings of technology and not being able to use the ship at full usage.

Maquis is only flying snubcraft, along with transports. Viewing the fact that Maquis knows completely Council technology, therefore, they use their snubcraft mostly. Since Maquis is an extreme terrorist organisation with good goals, they're not using anything higher than a freighter. Maquisards don't use any capital ships, because that would not fit their agenda and need for terrorists, except for some special cases which are very rare. Maquis is also using some civilian ships, but mainly Council ships, such as Agama Heavy Fighter, Stellion Very Heavy Fighter, Gecko Light Fighter and Basilisk Bomber.

Je ne sai quoi.
The unknowable quality.
The xee factor, in search of a Y.
There were too many unknowns in insurgency. Intelligence, resources, and inside ears would be cited over and over again as the resources that made a revolution, but it was often far from true. What mattered was so situational, so “I don’t know what”, that luck and wisdom mattered less than being able to improvise.

That limited the weapons available to the Maquisards. Rapiers and daggers, not broadswords and trebuchets, or their antimatter equivalent. Yet there remained times when it was more opportune to throw a grenade, than a stone.

The Gap. Aaah, that was a Maquisard operation like no other. A shame that it had been committed by the Councillards – the slow pool of the disaffected into the ranks of those that knew what extremes must be committed to undermine Charles’s hand, had slowed after that. Insidious that they would struggle, even in the wake of the infinitely more pressing concerns of the newfound home front and Picardie putsch, that the Crown would still quote back to those who might oppose them, the morally objectionable nature of the council. Ridiculous.

The people want peace. A violent peace. First the blood must be bled before the bleeding stops – even it if requires the exsanguination of the patient. There were enough naval officers in the Maquis to execute on the audacious – but the strategy of fast improvisation and rapid adaptability - running from pratfall to pratfall, struggled to fit a battleship into its worldview.

Until, of course, the runner ran into a wall.

The Royals were coming. The war had changed, slowly, like a crack in a pressure tank forewarning detonation, with a slow hiss. The royals were pulling out all the stops, to stop the juggernaut in an increasingly apocalyptic set of contingencies. Scorched earth concepts drilled into the hulls of their recent cruisers – even, though they are horrified to own up to it – adopting stratagems from the Sirians. Purist conquest had been replaced with divide and survive. Whoever won the war – which was still conceivably in the Royal favour – there would be a reckoning. Almost as many would die in the aftermath than had in the creation – the Maquisards understood this. Minor fractional divisions – such as between them and the Councillard moralists, Gap station or not – would not help them at the warcrimes tribunal, or at the hands of the mob if no tribunals were held. Sometimes there was a need for a healthy set of ultra-alloy pressure-plates.

Sourcing would be… alarming. Thanks to the war, two sectors were littered with the hulks of colossal oil-burning warbeasts, burning and screaming, their compartments shattered, their remaining crews entombed alive within the freezing steel coffins. But the infrastructure was lacking. Council shipyards would prioritise fleet interests in a time when every single Council and Royalist position was potentially the target of one another, whilst their BretonianSirian angels burned their way in the largest spilling of humanity in the history of war. The mother of all annihilations.

Unconventional times left unconventional options. Zurich had rendered Charles’s naked arse open to the Sirians – unfortunately, Sirians who were benefitting from strategic investment. But there were routes, even out there, in the, by gallic standards, impoverished star systems far beyond the Zurich gates. Uniquely sirian problems gave uniquely sirian solutions – in a house where resources had only recently become scarce, the masters of economisation, the Rheinland, may provide answers to old domestic problems that the Maquis themselves couldn’t.

Ships of war? No.

Ships of survival.

The Maquis knew what they must do.
