The Situation in Bretonia...

[Croissant]

It is no secret that Bretonia is in crisis. There are many reasons for this crisis. It all started with the war with Kusari. Initially Bretonia appeared to win, but apparently they felt safe and gradually lost one battle after another ...

Then came a huge economic crisis, the Bretonia Armed Forces was built. This simply wanted to build too many ships of war at once and have all the tax money invested in overpriced foreign shipyards. With this construction boom has also increased the price of raw materials, for Bretonnia alone it was not capable enough to reduce ore. Again, the money went abroad to other mining stations.

Through all of this expenditure the Bretonia pound rose to dizzying heights, many dealers began to stop trading in Bretonia, this fact would make little profit, because the High pound and the High duty.

Slowly the people impoverished on the planet, while the large firms have been in and out of Bretonnia getting richer and thus reaping more and more power.
Meanwhile, there are even rumors that the big companies buy into the politics and play their power can be extended by the war.

Bretonia is slowly getting down and in a time before it was a huge country, which is now financially, economically and tactically at the end. The enemy is practically on the doorstep. Of holders of large companies have infiltrated the policy with large funds. It seems to be no rescue for Bretonnia

In such situation, the idea is of course close to make some money on the side. And what is closer than the idea to sell one of a cheap foreign ships for a high price. After all, the defeat against Kusari is very close they are only one system of New London and in such a position as a high member of the Armed Forces, of course, you want remove as soon as possible.

Of course, first you have to find a buyer who spends so much money for a Military ship. You therefore need someone who could make much money with it.

This interested person was quickly found. The bounty hunters were very interested in the Bretonia Gunboats, they thought that these ships would be just right for hunting big fishes.
