We boarded the Battleship Dax of the Gallic Royal Navy in the Tau 31 system in the morning. We were granted a ride on an armored transport to the front lines to witness ourselves how efficient and dominant the Gallic forces are.
Thrill guaranteed as the pilot of the transport said. We undocked around noon and set course to the Edinburgh jump hole. Here and there a Bretonian patrol showed but they weren't a match for the transport and its guns. The Bretonians didn't even attempt an assault. Passing through the jump hole was more exciting. Bretonian forces seem to be scattered thin in Tau 31.
Once we emerged from the jump hole in Edinburgh the foggy purplish fog surrounded us. We thought that we would be heading towards the battleship stationed in Edinburgh but instead the co-pilot plotted a course to the Glendale Supply Depot, which is owned by the Gaians.
My heart beat kept increasing as we crossed the distance to the depot. Who knew what the Gallians had in mind, maybe they wanted to sell us to the highest bidder. I could see the fear rising in my assistants eyes after we had docked and the hatch of the transport opened.
Gaines entered the ship and searched it. Then this huge soldier worked his way towards us asking for our papers. The Gallic captain explained the situation and we were ordered to stay on board. I was surprised about how friendly the Gaians and the Gallians were.
We received water and food for the next part of our trip to the battleship Castres stationed in the Edinburgh system as well. Once we arrived there I got a look at one of the crates, it said OR, which is French for GOLD. We arrived back at the Battleship Dax in the evening. The trip was uneventful not half as exciting as we thought it would be.
Bottom line, Gallic supply ships are continuing their duty basically unchallenged by the Bretonian forces. On our short but impressive journey we saw several armored transports and Gallic trains arriving and leaving. It was also brought to our attention that the transports are supplying the Battleship in the Magellan system as well, not even bothering to be escorted.
AMAZING!
Gallic supplies are flowing from Gallia into Bretonia and even Liberty and valuable resources or prisoners are taken back to Gallia. The gold is also a nice pay off for their war efforts.
SHOCKING!
This also opens up a box full of questions. Why are those intensive supplies are happening? Might there be a new offensive on the horizon? Is Gallia trying to bleed out Bretonia and Liberty?
It's not going to be easy but it's certainly a start.
