What you revealed to me is a really a disaster. This new is one of the most important since ages. The Marine didn't expect one second Aland would be taken so faster...
Well...I am quite confused now. I am the first one in the Marine to learn about it. Bien...This means the Bretonians have henceforth a new shipyard. We failed to protect Aland, that's a fact. Now we need to defend at ny cost South Shields. I am pretty sure despite the presence of the Embrun in Newcastle, the Bretonians will try something. They certainly won't leave a station like that in their system.
We need to move quickly. As I am in charge of the Task Force Malouines, I will redirect the whole fleet to defend South Shields in Newcastle. I hope it will be sufficient to stop the Bretonians. We can help the Battlegroup Rockabill to move to South Shield and avoid a risky way through Bretonia. We have a Valor with a fleet jumpdrive. This means we can mount an operation to jump in Omega-3 and thus help your fleet to get out of the system.
Tell me how to organize and what you are planning. We don't have such time. Be assured South Shields won't fall.
Sincèrement

We will simply have to make the best out of a bad situation, Commandant. The Rockabill has evaded the sparse Bretonian forces in Omega-49 and arrived near the Hood in Dublin. Your assistance in extracting the ship would be most appreciated.
We still have hope that the costly Bretonian Omega operations will have weakened them in other areas, and we fully intend to exploit any weakness we can find.
I received your message. I will make everything to have our forces ready in time. We will assist you. Be advised, Dublin is still under the foolish bretonians control more or less.
We are coming, mon ami!
Sincèrement
Marine Royal Gauloise, Commandant Pierre Vaillant.
The Marine Royale has launched the Opération Bouclier Royal in order to rescue the Rockabill Battlegroup and defend South Shields. Everything is ready to protect the installation. We extracted the battlegroup from Dublin. The opération has been a total success.
The serious things will begin soon. At least, we succeed today. Contact me if you have anything you would like to have or to know. I am at your disposal.

Guildmasters,
I think our operation to defend South Shields has been successful. The recent events showed that the Bretonians cannot attack the station unless they scatter their battlegroups and this would be a great opportunity for the Embrun to squash them.
We did our job well and the defensive systems on the station are operational. We are thinking to remove a part of the TF-Malouines as extremely crucial events are occuring on the Bretonian front. I guess the Rockabill will be able to hold South Shields enough time before our reinforcements come in case of an attack. Be aware we are still at your disposal.
Until next time.
Sincèrement
Marine Royal Gauloise, Commandant Pierre Vaillant.
Thank you for your support in the defense of South Shields.
We concur with your estimate of the strength of the current Bretonian forces. The Rockabill should be able to stall them should they be foolish enough to mount another attack.
However, be advised, there are still enemy raiders present in the nearby clouds. Once our cooperation with EFL starts, we could need help in the form of escorts for their, and our own convoys. But until then, we can secure South Shields ourselves.
With best regards,
Guang Yao

You had our support because you requested it Guildmaster! At least, you have the assurance you obtained in all that chaos an allie. I am going to take note of the current contract with EFL.
Our task force will be dispatch some fighters and bombers to escort the different convoys once the operation will start. For now, we are keeping our forces in reserve. Don't hesitate to contact us if something is going wrong.
Until next time.

Bonjour Guildmasters,
It has been quite some time. I hope your situation is now better than the previous weeks.
You are certainly aware of the departure of the Guillestre Battlefleet from Tau-23. This fleet has been moved to Leeds for further operations. I know this can be worrisome for you, as Java is now exposed to the Outcasts raids. However I met one of your representative in Tau-23. He explained me quite well the situation in the Taus and especially regarding the Outcasts presence in Tau-37.
In the matter to decrease the intensity of the Outcasts raids against our supplies and IMG logistic, we are going to move a whole Task Force to Tau-23. Then the security of Java wild remain like with the Guillestre. Aswell we plan to take the initiative on the Outcasts while we can with a several blitz attacks in Tau-37.
Your help would be appreciated even if I know your assets are focused on Bretonia.
Until then.
Sincèrement
Marine Royal Gauloise, Commandant Pierre Vaillant.
Indeed, it have been a long time. Through these months, we have withnessed treachery, backstabbing - but also - unwavering unity that assembled the most outstanding people of the Sirius and Gallia to fight the common enemy.
Even if those people have never met each other, and are known to be reluctant to work with each other due to major difference in their goals and methods.
The Guild have unwillingly distanced itself from Bretonia - we did not take their actions lightly, and will never forgive the desperate fools that occupy the Parliament and especially those from the surroundings of Her Majesty.
On top of all that - Crayter, our long standing allies in the past - have given in everything that have ever connected the two of us, closed their eyes on all the good that was done to them by the Guild during their exodus from Tau-44.
But there is something i can say for sure - throughout that time, when our positions in Omegas have been significantly weakened and the petty self-proclaimed Republic of Crayter have threatened our very existance in the Taus - we did not kneel before any of them, and this is partly because of the support from the Gallic Crown.
Safety of our people have always been a highest priority to the Guildmasters, and our paramilitary have always had garrisons dispatched to our every installation, trained specifically to deal with the odds of the specific region they are stationed in.
You can count on our support against the Orange menace, Commandant.
However, it will be limited only to our assets currently stationed in Tau-23 and Tau-37, as most of our assets are assembled elsewhere and are on high alert due to their assignments and threats from our older and newer enemies.
