EFL Oil and Machinery (player group)

This is an unofficial player group. For the affiliated NPC faction, see EFL Oil and Machinery.

short History

When the Ile-De-France arrived in what later would be called the Gallic Sector and the first colonies were established, surveyors soon discovered vast amounts of oil throughout Gallic territory. While oil is inferior to fusion or dark matter generators when it comes to space ship propulsion or military applications, it is well suited as a cheap, safe and reliable fuel for civilian cars and industrial machinery.

While the Gallic Crown possessed a monopoly on the extraction, transportation and refining of this "black gold" during the early years of the Empire, a company named EFL Oil and Machinery quickly made it's way to the top in the second century of Gallic settlement. Through the assimilation of many smaller companies the originally rather small company soon became the economic powerhouse it is today, owning whole stations, trade lanes and even shipyards.

Zone of Operations

Burgundy

Burgundy is the seat of Royal power in the Gallic Border Worlds, and the primary defensive operating area of the Gallic Royal Navy, given its proximity to Council-controlled Champagne and its status as the second line of defense against intruders from Omicron-80.

Allied bases :

Champagne

Champagne is fully controlled by the Council. EFL Oil and Machinery ships avoid this system.

Dauphine

Dauphine is the primary staging ground for the Gallic Royal Navy's forces. Every day more ships arrive in the system, Briancon Station is located near the Privas Planetary Cluster,

Owned Bases:

Briancon Station, EFL Oil & Machinery

Allied bases :

Languedoc

The Gallic Royal Navy has been all but pushed out of Languedoc, retaining control of only the Jump Gate to Dauphine. The system is still patrolled by the Gallic Royal Navy EFL comes rarely in Languedoc, except when delivering goods to Lodeve Spaceport

Allied base:

Battleship Carcassonne,Gallic Royal Navy

Lorraine

Lorraine is one of the two systems that contain Jump Holes from the Gallic Border Worlds to Sirius. While mostly cut off from reinforcements due to the Council takeover of Champagne, the Gallic Royal Navy does not shy away from using the jumphole from Burgundy when necessary. Defense of the system is mostly left to the Battleship Epinal, and it rarely receives patrols from the main fleet.
