Discovery 4.88.1 Module 1

[Sebastian Nobles-Stirling]

System Changes

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?

@Alley Sorry, it's to late... But if you would have the option to create "Gallic Preevater", I willingly create new character names GJ were great because they docked anywhere in the Gallia

We decided on the change because a Freelancer ID'd ship can do exactly the same. Also, no one in the ~5 years of it's existence has even touched the idea of making a Gallic Junker faction or the like.

I can even bring examples about GJ attempts. Remember GSC? Or Dietz's GJ faction?

Gallia Update

This is the first of several in a series of modular updates, which are aimed at fixing storyline stagnation and system bloat. Gallia, which was a fair bit too large, has been reduced to roughly 3/5 its former size. Its factions have all been progressed and many have (or will have) interesting new opportunities to discover.

Meh, I understand why you removed all these systems(cuz they were pretty much empty and unused!), except Berry, Idk why you decided to remove it, it connected like 4 gallic systems.... But other than that, nice changes!

[Cælumaresh]

You are all awesome, thanks!

Also, since im such a caplover:

THAT BC, I WANT IT!

This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

Berry was a useless system that had no real roleplay around it and just added to Gallia having too many systems. It was removed to make Gallia smaller and was picked due to it's low RP worth.

*/CF\* was a gallic junker faction with members of the Congress, but when 4.87 arrives things changed so much for GJ (worse rep and other things in the storyline) and we leave them.

meh, I guess so!

[Miaou]

Yet none of these mentioned Gallic Junker factions existed long enough to do anything noteworthy or actually playing out the NPC faction.

[Lythrilux]

It still shows interest though. I also don't understand where the logic is in saying that a Freelancer ID can do the same stuff as a GJ.
