Lieutenant. The threats on our home front have been all but extinguished. Our society is fully policed by the military, with Gendarmerie doing a stellar job. The Maquisards have withdrawn to detached regions, and all we have to do is keep them there. Gallia proper is the safest it has ever been, with corruption and inefficient nobles calling the shots eradicated. You have done well in focusing our forces outward.
There will inevitably come the time of our expansion - Crayter and Bretonia will be conquered, and so will Kusari which caused so much devastation. But before then, the Tau regions and their resources must be secured, systematically and completely - your incursions deep into adjacent territories are exactly what is required, acquiring prototype technology that could be used against us to be studied is of vital importance.
You have started to establish yourself as the dominant officer within the Flotte Principale, and you might soon find yourself with increased responsibilities and power.

Bonjour!
Today another trader ignored the restriction on the tau 23 trade lane & Jumpgate restrictions!
Warned the trader to stop and take another exit from Languedoc, the pilot ignored me and charged to the Jumpgate!
I followed it to the other side to Tau-23. Then after another three ignored warnings to stop i disabled the ship 4000 meters from the Jumpgate!
The pilots escape pod was taken back to Planet Quillan.

Bonjour.
I would like to inform you that I have today delivered 10750 Hull Panels to Fort Lune aboard the new fleet carrier, GNS-Var, as while flying through Gaul on patrol I noticed that the base was slightly damaged. An inspection revealed that there was enough food, oxygen and water, a full crew, the only thing missing were hull panels for makeshift repairs.

Bonjour!
This is Commandant Alarie reporting from the Zurich system!
Today i did take the cruiser Tourriers under my command out for a patrol run and training for the crew!
On the tour we did meet GMS miners and some trade ships from Rheinland, nothing out of the ordinary!
On the last run from the Rheinland Jumpgate to the station Oerlikon Observatory we found one of the old Council
"Penance" class cruiser in the hands of the FLG... Hah! They shout on the radio about revolution and how they have the power to destroy the Union's Navy with their warships!
Well they have some old cap's sure.. hahaha but they have no idea how to operate them! One more ship they wont use anymore.

Bonjour!
This is Gabriel Alarie from the Tourriers in the Zurich system.
Well today started just like any other day reading mission reports from our naval ships in the system.
One of the report's mentioned some unknown energy signals in the F-3/4 sector!
Dont know why they did not set up some waypoint there to see what it was. I did take my ship there to take a peek, maybe i get lucky...
Heh long range radars found nothing! After a hour we did return to Oerlikon Observatory! Just when we start up the mooring procedure some emergency signal came in from GMS ships, they came under attack by Unioner's!
We did break off from the station and rush to the location the signal came from!
Damn nothing but molten parts of ships!
Our scanners did pick up the trace of the attackers so we did follow! On the way we did meet one of our own Naval vessel the GN-Hexatron Damn it was such a surprise to see on of the great Redemption's in active service.
I did ask the captain of the Hexatron to join us to hunt down the Unioner intruders.
We did found them in sector c-4, i did boost my ships engines to the melting point to get the hostile ships to break formation so that the Hexatron can make short work of them!
It was a beautiful sight when the Battleship did open fire on them. On the radio we did hear voices of the lead ship ordering retreat with a voice of fear and terror!
After the battle my ship returned to Oerlikon Observatory for fuel so that we can return to Rambouillet Shipyard.

We heard the distress call from Sisteron! It was the alien menace that desolated the system. After a long battle, we have taken them all down, including one Valor that for some bizarre reasons sided with them!
A true victory for Gallia, Brittany might not be lost just yet!
· Sender: Crewman Nathanaël Samuel Michaux · Report Subject: Emergency call from Battlecruiser Sisteron, Brittany
Bonsoir,
Tonight while patrolling the Languedoc system, we received a system-wide emergency call from an unknown location, and the source was later identified as the Brittany jumphole. The captain decided that we have to immediately change direction and enter the system from where the distress call is originating.
When we approached the jumphole, several new contacts showed up on our long-range scanner, and soon they were identified as fellow naval ships. They received the same signal as we did and came to the same conclusion. That we have to help the ship from whom the distress call is originating. After a few minutes, we entered the Brittany system, where we headed to the battlecruiser Sisteron, the only possible source of the signal.
Just as we reached the Sisteron, our long-range scanners again showed us new contacts, but this time we were not enough lucky because these were not our brothers, not even humans. The new contacts were identified as "Nomads," whom we heard many times from the Sirians, but this is our first time to see them with our own eyes.
It did not take long until our fleet commander decided that these pests could not be allowed to stay alive. We successfully helped in taking down two of the bigger alien forms before it became necessary for us to retreat back to safe territory thanks to the damage the Arcacht received during the fight. But as far as we know the rest of the battlegroup successfully obliterated the remaining nomads and achieved another victory for our people.

Bonjour!
Commandant Alarie here.
Today I visited the Zurich system for my patrol and to my surprise I found a Core base 8000m from the Oerlikon Refinery!
For the time my ship stands in the system to monitor the situation.
