INFORMATION ABOUT THE GROUPDescription of "EFL Oil & Machinery" Group's name:EFL Oil & Machinery. Group's classification:Unknown group, not dangerous. Description: "EFL Oil & Machinery" - a Gallic Corporation, founded in 234 AGS by Fernand Bastien. The main reason for the foundation was oil deposits, which are currently the main source of fuel in Gallic sector. Given the corporation’s presence in Gallic space for an extremely long time, EOS has known all EFL space objects in the Gallic space.
EFL are the largest shipbuilding company (despite their main goals), completing the construction of space objects and it's maintenance. The emergence of personnel for the construction of space objects (and it's maintenance) is due to the fact that the EFL was able to absorb several large Gallic Corporations at the time of the 440 AGS that possessed these personnel. EFL are economists and their actions are associated with the development and further monopolization of the Gallic market in the field of oil production and shipbuilding (as and in Sirius). Thus, the position of the EFL regarding the Enclave remains uncertain. At the moment, the EFL is neutral towards the newly formed government.
In connection with the formation of the Confederation and the end of the war with Sirius, the EFL are of particular value to the EOS and the Confederation as a whole. However, long and close cooperation with the Crown in the field of military contracts at the time of the war with Sirius is the main argument why the monitoring of the EFL should take place until the destruction of the Enclave.Strategic facilities list:
