Actually I agree with Baconsoda - the mollies aren't interested in territory outside of Dublin - they wouldn't need an alliance with the hessians to keep back the corsairs from cambridge if they weren't in cambridge in the first place, which would let them concentrate on fighting off corsairs in Dublin rather than creating a new position just for the sake of defending it.
Their only use for bases outside Dublin is to launch raids against BMM and Bretonian corporations. Well, they can't do that in Cambridge because there IS no BMM or Bret Corporate presence in the system, at all. The only corporation there is the IMG, who as been pointed out are neutral to the mollies.
Whereas in Edinburgh, their base would be in a field with a BMM base right on the edge of it, perfect for fighting their no.1 enemy BMM, plus Planetform, Bowex and Gateway all in the system - every Bret corporation instead of the 0 in Cambridge; lots of choice targets in Edinburgh to attack, whilst in Cambridge they would be constantly on the defensive, nothing to attack, trying with futility to fend off corsairs and BAF.
