Anjou, Artois, Berry, Corse, Franche-Comte, Lewis, Savoie, and Tau-39 have been removed via retcon. Their base entries have been moved, reused, or recycled in various locations. Maine was also removed, but not by retcon. Instead, one of the stars began displaying signs of going supernova, so the system was evacuated and the gate in Picardy sealed.
The Languedoc-Dauphine jump hole connection was removed in an attempt to create more of a bottleneck at the jump gate. Tau-44 and Provence were linked via jump hole, which will serve as an alternative smuggling route and possibly an avenue for the Council to strike Gallia from the Taus.
Lyonnais joins Lorraine as part of Gallia that was split off when the Council took full control of Champagne. The two systems are well-defended by the local GRN fleets, but lawful traders have to take risks to travel to the core of Gallia.
Would someone on "the Team" be so good as to describe how these changes impact the definition of the Gallic Borderworlds?
