Bonjour,
We are warning all Gallic Navy commandeurs and assets that following the Executive order N.002 we can consider the transitional period within the Gallic Union as officially complete.
The order from the government has not yet come, but as formal noble titles and prefixes have been already banned, sooner or later, legacy transponders that have been turned a blind eye to will have to be changed. We know that you have been actively operating in the name of the Union and Gallic Navy, and cosmetic changes have been the last thing on your mind. We are proud of the valour of the former Royal, Council and Confederate forces and their history, for it is them that formed the present Gallic Navy.
After years the time has come, however, hand in hand with the ban on using the titles of nobility I would ask all of you to change the following legacy transponder prefixes:
RNS- (That could be seen to sympathise with the outlawed Royalists or Nobility)
CLN- (That could be associated with the Council traitors who poison Gallia under the Maquis terrorist flag)
Other former Royal Navy or Council prefixes
Either to GNS-, remove them altogether or use any other name that fits your vessels' or fleets' purposes, but does not evoke belonging to regimes of the past.
This is not a direct order, I care more about your actions than symbols, but the change is inevitable, and making it sooner rather than later will spare you the unnecessary gaze of the government and Marechals.
