I'll try to read the Gallic News during the next few days. Right now, this is what I think:
Quote:During the Exodus, there were actually eight sleeper ships. The other three belonged to France, Italy, and Australia. These ships were also the first to launch, but they were destroyed before they could escape. Luckily, the remaining Italian and Australian colonists managed to join the Hispania and the Bretonia. However, the French could not find another ship to escape to Sirius. Therefore, they were left behind. Over time, the French began to see this as abandonment by the Alliance, so they secretly constructed another sleeper ship and left for Sirius, hoping to gain revenge.
I wrote a Freelancer fanfiction with the Discovery Mod in it and this is my interpretation of the events. It's basically providing background info to the rest of the story.
