Bonsoir mes amis,
While taxing an independent trader in Orkney I met some of those GAUL. They told me that they would protect traders, and grant them safe entrance in Languedoc and Dauphine, with the target to raise the profit of the Council.
They also said they don't like piracy, I taxed the trader anyhow though. After a discussion about their, and our goals and intentions they would like to meet you, my lord, in a diplomatic gathering,
to discuss from leader to leader about how we could make an arrangement concerning our business.

Bonjour chers amis,
Today was quite interesting. I was having a look on Tau-23, I met some broken miners out there, but before they could pay me at least a little amount of credits, two IMG Battlecruisers came in. We had a...well...more or less friendly conversation, the captains were indeed kind. After a few words, I left the area as there were too many to deal with. Back in Orkeny I met an IDF-Vache. I caught it back in Tau-23, asked for a donation of course. I asked for payment consisting of Sirian Credits, the captain of the IDF-Vache didn't know the exchange rate though, as he was dealing with Gallic Credits. A clever captain I must say, the calculating took him too long, 2 heavy miners and a Freelancer came in and told me to let the trader go its way. Since I was outnumbered again I had to comply. I flew back to Reunion when another Freelancer arrived, his papers and ships were like a Freelancer, his comm signal though showed a Council. He told me he was giving a call from an IDF trader. Anyways I wanted to state him what happened...it was useless though...he told me I was a "thief" that I've "attacked civilians", "robbed money"...just a lier without any proofs. He told me about giving the "robbed money back", he did not want to know that I actually haven't stolen any, he just said I'm not a "true Legionnaire" and stuff...he finally fired upon my ship, a bad decision..be warned, there may floating some fragments of an "Eagle Very Heavy Fighter" round the Reunion.

Look, there is something we must talk about. Those Counseil pilots, who go under GAUL tag. Today I was returning to Narbonne and met two of them, Renzo Dayson and Noma Laslandes. These pilots seem to be concerned with les mineurs of Sirius and the attitude of the Brigands in general. As one of les Maquis said, they appeared to keep to the "Gallic Defenders" stereotype. I can understand them, but I just want to warn you: keep your guard up when they are around, they may stand between you and your prey, no matter who that prey is. If they really want to uphold the image of Le Counseil and Gallia in general, they might prevent us from extorting the cash from those Sirians, who venture into Gallia. We need to make sure they don't cause us too much trouble. Personally, I wouldn't want to have quarrels with Du Lac, should those GAUL idealists try to disrupt our activities.
A couple of Maquis I met the same day seem to share our attitude. One of the Maquis belonged to the group we know, Les Franc-Tireurs. So, regarding les Franc-Tireurs, those who bear /M/ tag in their IFFs... They may be powerful associates indeed. Some of them are a bit blood-thirsty, from what I heard, but they do understand that it's better to rob someone before torturing to death. Perhaps we could have a talk with them, but I'll leave the decision to Enzo.
P.S.(directed to Du Sable): I got a message from our old friends, la famille Orsini of the Corse. Seems like Joel has something to discuss with you. He didn't want to tell it to me in private, so I guess it's important. Transmission Terminated

Salut mes amis,
Today we had a situation at Montbard. A fleeing independant Brigand brought a wing of Royals to our doorstep. After some discussion, they decided to bring a Valor against our base. Some of us quickly gathered to defend and haul them off our lawn. We managed to keep the battleship occupied until a council bomber wing under du Lac gave it the rest. Then we proceeded to the remaining GRN fighters. There were some losses on each side, but we managed to make them run for their homes. They should now make big circles around Montbard.
Some of you told me about those "GAUL" gens. We will do our business as we did before, there is really nothing more to worry about than before.
To Christine: Merci for the info. Orsini has messaged me already.
[color=#000000]On Montbard, Enzo speaks to the Legionnaires....
[color=#000000]Legionnaires, c'est fini. We have fought for months to reach this point and now we have arrived, finally. La Legion has risen to the most powerful force of the Brigands! Those who were against it have either fallen or disappeared! Or both. Now, it is time for more important things. Le Sirius. Le rumors about the closed gates to the Core openeing soon. We are powerful enough to get a piece of it, of all. We are ready to expand our "empire criminel". What we did until now was just the preparation. As you noticed, we have some new friends out there. And what we have seen from it is just a little part. A galaxy, full of opportunities, open for us and we will take what we want from it! Ready or not, here we come...
The Brigands raised their fists and screamed "Vive la Legion!", more enthusiastic than ever.
Briggite, hearing Enzo's speach walks in, kisses him upon the cheek and whispers.........
"Before you were just the most worthy man within Galia, soon you are to gain a similar title amoung those who populate sirius. I'm honourd to stand at your side"
She takes a second to look Enzo in the eye, then dissapears into the croud of cheering legionairs.

Bonsoir mes amis,
Today was lucrative. Felix and I decided to visit les mineurs in Tau-23. As we had a talk with some "Heavy Miner" digging ore in the asteorid field, Mathieu joined us. All in all, les mineurs were reasonable and sensible enough to pay us our taxes. Back near Reunion, we detected a "Prison Liner" heading to the minefield with the intention to enter Gallia space. The implied vessel was acting as a medical supply ship, as its captain told us. Bien sure we asked the standard entry fee. The captain wanted us as an escort into Dauphine to an Union Corse base. During this time Amelie had joined us aswell. Due to the frequent bomber patrols of the Royalists we all escorted the prison liner to Daupine. On the way back to Orkney, Felix and Amelie accompanied it. For those services we finally demanded 4 million credits of compensation. We had no encounters with the Royal Navy at all, it is obvious that we have become much stronger and influental lately. We have the Gallia space in our hands.

Bonjour mes amis,
After some cruising in Languedoc, I took Felix, Mathieu and Jean out for a tour into le profitable mining systeme Tau 23. At first, we only encountered a lonely miner, who ejected his ship before we could reach him. Felix needed some supplies, so we went to Cali to get some. Soon after that, a large ship passed the station. It was from l'Ordre, and had the signature "Sun.Core". As we wanted to get back to the mine fields, we were stopped by 2 colonials, and a mineur battlecruiser. They, including this Order Osiris soon engaged us. By that time, an Outcast Tridente joined our side. The first part of the bettle went well. In a few minutes, the Argus's hull was broken and it exploded. The next one of them to fall was an assisting mineur GB. However, in the meantime, some snubcrafts joined them. 2 or 3 Freelancers, another Colonial and an Order Bomber(?). Outnumbered, and with the Osiris still shooting at us, we had to flee to Cali. On the way there, Felix did not pay attention and the battleship turrets hit him. The same happened with Jeans' Asco, which got hit by an incoming mortar. I managed to take down one of the Colonials during our run though. Then, we docked as we entered the range of Cali...
A strange evening, indeed. My question is why l'Ordre was there, and why a warship is used as "research vessel". It seems Sirius is stranger than we thought....
Also, another thing. Months of gathering and repairs have finally payed off. Our once proud flagship will return soon from the darkness....La Grande Guillotine will once again cut off the heads of those ambushing us! Even if it is not yet fully repaired, it has enough firepower to make a difference. Soon, it will launch from le Council shipyard...
[color=#FF0000]Really interesting morning, I had. After a battle simulation with Felix Leclerc, I took my Jaguar to the miner's heaven, also called Tau-23 by the sirians. In here, I found an ugly... very ugly ship actually. I didn't even try to shoot it because the projectiles would not want to hit such an ugly ship. So I asked the pilot for 300.000 and tried not to look at the ship all the time of the transfer.
After that, I teamed up with Oeil d'Aigle and we robbed an official IMG miner for like 3.000.000. Last thing was this independent miner... a bit stupid and emo. He wanted to die so I satisfied his wish.
