The Maquis are terrorists dedicated to the complete eradication of Gallic nobility. Beginning as disillusioned offshoots from the Council, the Maquis quickly earned a vicious reputation conducting a series of assassinations and bombings in return for the Council's continued logistical and technological support. When the Second Gallic War drew to a close, however, the Maquis found themselves blindsided and outraged as the Council confederated Gallia, offering legitimacy to the royalist holdouts in Burgundy and pardoning most of the nobility. Refusing to bend to their former compatriots, the Maquis ignored calls to surrender, leading to the Massacre of Mazagran in late 826 AS. While now stripped of the logistical backing of the Council, popular support of the Maquis movement has boomed, especially among a growing anti-royalist population.

Rumors

Charost Depot
  • The Council is too soft, in my opinion. They take little action against the very corporations which feed the Royalist war machine!


  • Our preferred tactical approach to combat is guerilla warfare. We pick our targets, infiltrate, eliminate, and leave. The Maquis is much smaller than the Council, so we don't have room for heroic self-sacrifice.


  • I've killed my fair share of Royalists. Everyone here has blood on their hands, and we're not ashamed. I lost track after a hundred, and that doesn't count collateral damage.


  • The Maquis are not as structured as the Council. We have much more freedom to operate individually. However, at each of our bases there is always a group of senior members who have earned the respect of their compatriots, and they determine how and where we fight.


  • You see this? It's a knife. I like sharp knives. The only thing I like more is plunging them into the soft flesh of Royalists. Unfortunately, due to the nature of this war, I have to make do with an Agama instead. Most of the time.


  • Oil, such a wonderful thing to explode. The flames are just like in the liberation-day fireworks on Planet Marne.


  • While it is not openly discussed, quietly many of us Council pilots support the Maquis. They've done us enough favours in the past. The Council has to officially distance itself from the Maquis' tactics, but that doesn't mean we'll allow the Royal forces to kill them with impunity. We're all fighting for the same thing, even if we go about it differently.


  • Allied transports ship us vital supplies such as Black Market Munitions from the Council's base on Planet Toulouse, back in Sirian space.


  • I came to this base as part of a supply convoy. We will be returning to Planet Toulouse with Refugees who wish to escape the fighting and start a new life outside of Gallia. It's going to be a hard life there, but we're up to the challenge and freedom is its own reward.


  • Here in the Maquis, we have two kinds of members. The majority of us are ex-soldiers, many of whom have lost everything they care about. The latter are hardened criminals and anarchists, who are quite happy to burn Royalists and fill their own pockets at the same time.


  • The Council and the Maquis are really just two sides of the same coin. While we all want freedom from the Crown, we have very different methods that we use.


  • The Maquis and the Council fight their battles very differently. While the Council has to maintain an image of benevolent freedom fighters, we of the Maquis will do whatever is necessary to see the Royalists crumble, even if that means hitting civilian targets.


  • I will not stop fighting. None of us ever will, not until the King has paid for his crimes against our people and the powers in Gallia have become accountable to the people.


  • Nothing satifies me better than a great, big, fiery explosion. Last week one of my torpedoes penetrated the drive core of an IDF transport...the catastrophic damage was a glorious sight to behold.


  • We have a symbiotic relationship with the Council. In exchange for doing the dirty work that would otherwise tarnish their reputation, the Council supplies us with a lot of the equipment we need.
