This is the bridge's rapport on the events of today.
The intelligence ship Saint Amant was deployed in the high orbit of Planet Quillan for gathering intelligence of passing ships, and enforcing the restriction on the trade lane to Tau-23. As such, multiple ships were intercepted.
Most notably, a Bretonian Armed Forces ship, "Stoic", operating under a Freelancer IFF, was seen, and docked on Planet Quillan.
After interrogation, and scan, this ship was also possessing Military Salvage.
The ship was dispatched by the batteries of the Saint Amant for breaching the laws of the Gallic Union.
Later on, a Freelancer transport was intercepted after speeding off and docking to Planet Quillan. After a lengthy discussion, we settled on them paying 50% of a fine - 75,000 credits. They were transferred to the development of the Gallic National Intelligence.
An Order ship, requesting safe passage through the restricted area to Tau-23, was accepted, as token of proof of cooperation between the Order and Gallia as a whole. A fee of 10,000 credits was billed to the ship, and was promptly paid. They were transferred to the development of the Gallic National Intelligence.
An [FLG] vessel, the [FLG]NT-Predator, was noticed, and was pursued by the Saint Amant, through Roussilllon, then to Tau-61. The GNI/-Dubois was deployed in support.

Aliens were quickly seen, and proceeded to engage said Maquis vessel. The Saint Amant pulled back successfully, and rejoined the Dubois. The Maquis vessel was reportedly destroyed.
The Saint Amant was then deployed to the Orkney system again, where alien activity has been reported.
Aliens, were indeed present. Stress was detected amongst the crew - psychological tests are still ongoing on the crew of the Saint Amant.
A potential, peaceful envoy and meeting, is in the works. This is an exceedingly unique occurence, and needs to be perfect, in order to enhance the understanding between humans and aliens. The bridge's rapport will leave this event to be chronicled by the other parties.
A total of 235,000 credits, in fines, and donations, were made today, and transferred for the development of the Gallic National Intelligence. (23,500,000 credits).
