Klara, how can the Maquis expect assistance from the Council in the Languedoc system? You know very well that the Royalists have that system on a very tight watch, as it is the main gateway Gallia and the rest of Sirius. There is just no way a Council fleet could access the system at this time.
The Council, quite frankly, is on the back foot. They were hammered in Languedoc last year and got pushed to the edge of the Tau systems. Our establishment in the Roussillon system is fairing well with the support of the Bretonians, but the Council armada in Champagne is paralyzed - if they were to make an aggressive move toward the other Gallic border worlds, Royalist reinforcements from the Gallic Core would crush them. Likewise, a spearhead towards the Gallic Core would cause Gallic Border fleets to be recalled in their defense.
Put simply, any actions the Maquis might want to make behind the front lines, deep with in Gallic space... we will have to do on our own. We must play to our strengths, by striking hard and fast, and target supply convoys and capital ships without significant escorts. We will break their bodies and break their minds.
