Konichiwa fellow Guild members,

I have great news: Exploration unit Shantar-Maru has returned from Gallia today. Our technicians are at this very moment retrieving a vast amount of information from the ships data banks. There is much indeed. Our top clerks will be pouring over this for some time so it'll be awhile before they will all become available in the Archives so please be patient. I can say this, though, Shantar's sensors have picked up a lot of action in there. A war seems to be raging which, incidently, actually made the Shantar's explorations easier. The crew showed the boldness of the true GMG frontiersmen of old and have chosen to directly approach bases of the gaijin who call themselves Gallic. The Royalty and it's Navy are hostile and the Shantar was chased off by them where ever they were seen but another powerful group called The Council seems more approachable. Sadly their ships use a different fuel than ours, something called Oil. Seems like the Shantar got plenty involving technology in that area of space. This will all be checked by GMG's R&D team on Sakhalin.
I laughed when the crew said that they took a different way back, a route that put them through the Outcast's Alpha system. Such boldness may be going too far but I am glad they are back in one piece. On that note I am informed that they met an AFA, Crop Duster they believe, in New Tokyo after just coming in from Kyushu. I'm informed that the fiends aboard the AFA ship demanded the Synth Paste away from the Shantar. The crew were lucky that it was the last leg of their return trip or they would not have survived without the food. Well our memories are long indeed. This was followed by a Corsair that rode in the Shantar's engines wash all the way into GMG space. The crew promptly opened fire on the Corsair but eventually it knew it was going to be defeated and broke away.
Well I hope this got you curiosity. The Gallia Report will be underway.

Sayonara,
Guild Master Raikoke
