I really like the idea of seeing some sabotage behind the front lines. I've been thinking about an SOE faction for a while now.
I don't think there is a precedent in lore of blowing up a jump gate. They have always been disabled. I think in RP Ageira would be able to do more than simply turn it off. This is sensitive tech and if you scramble all the electronics it would take months to replace them.
There is one known total jump gate destruction event i think, but if you use that as a model half of Leeds would have to be covered in dark matter afterwards. Texas Incident.
Or you can mine the entrance Star Trek DS9 style, to prevent the Dominion... I mean Gallia from coming through.
I like the idea about SOE. Seems like the first official in-lore use of cloaks since the Nomad war. It also wouldn't require too much forces.
Taking Star Trek as inspiration isn't a bad idea either. If the Colonials could use BSG, so can we use Star Trek. Or simply make a deathstar and blow up Gallia and their stinky camambert!
I do know the people playing for Gallia want to achieve something as well, but Gallia has conquered a huge territory already.
I agree about the problem with those cut lanes, though. The Gauls might realize their problem after being unable to prevent the gate from being disabled, and might rise the priority of repairing them.
