Roussillon System

Tau 115 or 'Roussillon' is a recently occupied system by the Gallic liberalist group The Council. After suffering a crushing defeat in Languedoc to the Gallic Royal Navy, they soon lost one of their most tactically advantagous positions in Gallic space; Planet Quillan. With the horde of King Charles XI navy between the remains of the council's southern fleet and their safe haven in Champagne, they were forced to retreat to Montpellier Guard Station and without reinforcements were soon forced to retreat out of Gallic space to Orkney. The poorly defended station Reunion was soon to fall in line and The Council's southern fleet was left exiled and wandering throughout the Tau systems, attempting to rally the dispersed and lost to the remains of the capital fleet.

With Languedoc lost and the path to Gallia resealed, The Council's southern fleet turned to their allies made during their occupation of the passage. The Independent Miners Guild was soon to step up and offer a place for The Council fleet to make birth at a recently charted planet they had found way to in recent years. The jump hole to the new system had only recently opened and offered a perfect location for the lost faction to recouperate and rethink a strategy to tackle the Gallic threat. The Council fleet flocked to the new world, naming it Planet Tolouse after a place long lost to their culture a thousand years ago.

The crippled gallic fleet has since recovered from their losses, and Roussillon now stands as a fortress homeworld of the presumed lost southern fleet. The Council have learnt from mistakes made and now look to change the tactics of their approach. Adapting the template of their tactics in Champagne of concentrated control; they have taken their time to build numerous stations, form valuable alliances, deploy various militaristic measures and more. The hope of The Council's southern fleet now is to improve local relations and gather as much support to punch through the royalist lines in Orkney and push their assualt back to the core worlds before they execute their plans for invasion.
