Extract from The Sword and the Cross's Article 'The Colonial History Of Nova English Giess'
Nova English Giess was first established when a Nova English Expeditionary force was able to travel through Riponia's Experimental Gateway system. The reasoning behind the expedition was to explore the lands that nations like Babkha had mysteriously disappeared to via the Hurmu Gate. So after negotiations with the Riponian Government the Expeditionary force was sent through the portal. What they found on the other side was weirdly very similar to the Climate and geographical conditions that Nova England had on Micras. Following the discovery the Expeditionary force was quick to erect a large fort around the Portal. Which was then renamed LFU-9 Gate whilst the Fort in honor of the Fatherland was named Fort Grinstead.
Further forts were constructed along the rivers of the area before the Nova English Government declared it a official territory and installed the Colonial Government. Since then it has remained with a still small population due to the lack of any local natives. Though a recent boast and increase of LFU-9 traffic was highly present when the New Brittanian Empire collapsed on Giess. Those that decided to return home to the few New Brittanian Lands that remained were able to travel for a much lesser price due to the Nova English Government needing New Brittanian citizens to help in the reconstruction efforts.
However since these times little has happened in the Colony though Nova English Weapons have kept vastly to themselves about their research base in the Eastern Mountains....
