Gallia what in the world is the problem

[Jokoro]

The reasons for Gallic ships and weapons remaining in Gallia make perfect sense.

For all factions: When a House that has been hidden from the rest of the Sirius Sector for CENTURIES suddenly is revealed, what do you think the first reaction to it would be? Suspicion. Fear. Gallia is a place the other Houses have very little information about. They have no idea how dangerous Gallia is. If I had to guess, the official governments would at least be unfriendly, if not openly hostile.

The Council: The Council are currently engaged in a brutal civil war. If they lose, they will die. They don't have time for exploring the rest of Sirius; they have to rely on the rest of Sirius coming to them, hopefully attracted by their cause. They are stretched thin as it is and divided between two systems - they can only really operate in Gallia.

The Gallic Brigands: The other Houses are surely monitoring the Orkney jump hole... they have enough unlawfuls to worry about, and would surely kill any pirates or raiders trying to escape.

The Maquis: The same as the Council, only the other Houses would probably kill terrorists on sight.

The Unione Corse: They don't want anything to do with Sirius, as stated in several news topics in Gallic bars. They fear other Sirius unlawful groups will move into their territory and disrupt their business. They're perfectly content in Gallia.

Any other Gallic factions: They retain a firm belief in isolationism and the fact that they believe the other Houses to be the cause of their sabotaged sleeper ship. They are loyal to the Crown and hate outsiders with a passion, regardless if they side with the Council or not. If they tried to leave, they'd by shot by the Council anyway.

So the factions of Gallia stay in Gallia, along with their respective weapons, just like other factions and their weapons remain in their respective zones of influence.


And the Council opened a gap in the minefield because they disagreed with the Royalist isolation policy, believing it to be bad for Gallia.
