' Wrote:The Gallic Royal Navy is hostile to any and all House-aligned people, as well as any other foreign legal folk (like the Colonials, who are best treated as a mini-house in the Taus, but I trust that won't come up again). If you want to trade into the cool profits of Gallia, we are more than happy to have Freelancers and Junkers go back and forth, making us look all cute and cuddly and not worth building defenses against. But House Corporation-ID'd traders are going to have some plasma, tachyon, and antimatter related "reactor malfunctions". Council bases are still open to those people, however, they're also trying to convince everyone that the GRN is cute and cuddly. Which is highly ironic.
I tend to not be accommodating towards anyone from Sirius, whether they be junker or frelancer, if the ship is not from gallia, then you better have a good excuse. But sometimes I wonder if i should be a little more flexible.
Corporation ID's is a definite no. To the council it is fine (at least form the councils end) but it is somewhat unlikely for the corporation to be sending a multimillion dollar trade vessel, unescorted, into unknown and potentially hostile space.
The council is not trying to convince people the GRN is cute and cuddly. We are trying to convince Sirrians that the monarchy and the GRN are evil in fact and that they should support us in helping overthrow them. We are trying to convince sirrians that the people of gallia are nice and are simply helping the monarchy because they have no choice in the matter, gallia being somewhat of a totalitarian state.
