As per a recent order, I have (over the past week) quietly made my way North into Gallia to link up with our operations within that House.
On the one hand, Gallia being fractured and currently undergoing an invasion, has made my life a little easier. Patrols are less common and risk of civil detection lower than usual.
On the other hand, Militaries are out in force and approaching planets, shipyards and the like exceedingly difficult to undertake. Fortune has it however that I could complete at least a part of my given mission.
Given the aforementioned limitations, exact details are nearly impossible to obtain, however reconnaissance puts the bulk of the Kusarian fleet in the Dauphine system (it is unknown is if this is the entire invasion fleet or a significant portion of it). Given that the fleet currently is in battle formation, details on each ship's status are impossible to obtain. However I assume they are relatively good order since they seem to be preparing to do battle with the opposing Gallic fleets (I myself am actually unsure what to call the Gallic fleet since they aren't exactly united in one faction).
Much like the Kusari fleets, the Gallic ones also appear to be in battle formation and thus are presumably in reasonable condition. The Enclave, meanwhile, maintain a sizeable position in Languedoc, specifically gathered around Planet Quillan. Again, it is not possible to obtain detailed information on each ship's status. The Enclave forces appear to be in a defensive position, rather than an offensive one. Meanwhile the route from Quillan eastwards remains in Kusari's control (at least nominally)
Speculation about battles is not usually a wise idea, and I cannot accurately speak about the chances either side has of victory given that I have an incomplete picture of the situation (fleet sizes, conditions, morale, tactical/strategic advantages or disadvantages). With that being said, at a glance, Kusari does seem to have numerical superiority, excluding the enclave. It is also possible the Enclave is waiting to see who would win between the Gallic Forces and Kusari Navy so they might strike when both are at their weakest and push home their advantage.
Again, I submit this report with very limited data, but I hope what information I have found satisfies the reader.
