With the Corsair advance towards Dublin becoming an increasingly alarming issue amongst the Mollys, the need for a forward base to help curb Corsair ambitions became paramount. Every step the Corsairs took in Omega-49 pressured the Mollys into taking action, resulting in their decision to construct Garvagh Base as an answer to the issue.
At present, Garvagh services both Molly patrol wings and Coalition strike craft tasked with expunging the Corsair presence from the region. Molly forces farther out in the Omegas also use this facility as their base of operations or, if not, a key waypoint on the route back to Bretonia. Furthermore, it serves as an overflow smelting location for gold ore mined from Dublin, in order to help fuel the Mollys' separatist movement across Bretonia.

| [832 AS] The price of freedom |
|
ARRANMORE -- 832 AS -- We now control Dublin, with the wealth of its gold belonging to the miners who extract it. We are responsible for protecting what is ours, and repelling invaders and thieves. The Corsairs have long been an thorn in our side, but expelling the Bretonians has emboldened the pirates to invade in force. We mourn for the loss of our brothers and sisters aboard the Hood, who the Corsairs murdered in cold blood. Many of the system's jump holes lost phase alignment when the New London Jump Gate was destroyed, meaning we are no longer able to access Omega-49 or Leeds for supplies. Both the barbaric Corsairs and cowardly Bretonians want to starve us out by blockading the New London jump hole, which is the last stable exit we are aware of. For a Free Dublin to survive, we require each Molly station to immediately dispatch a wing of their best smugglers for service. |
| [832 AS] Bloodless victory turns sour |

KILREA -- 832 AS -- Liberation Day in Dublin hit the tyrannical Bretonian Crown where it hurts the most: the treasury. Starved of blood-soaked Gold, Bretonia is withdrawing from Poole. All the system's liberation required was patience - to wait for DSE to finish disassembling the Jump Gate. Sadly, this victory has turned sour with the destabilization of the Dublin and Omega-49 jump holes, and signs that Cambridge may soon follow suit. If these fail, our people will be stranded. Colraine has issued evacuation orders to Kilrea and Garvagh. Mull Base has offered to provide transports to assist with extraction to Lisburn Rock in Cambridge. We will monitor this space -- as soon as the jump holes return, so shall we. |
| [831 AS] Jump Hole Upheaval Causes Chaos |
|
HEISENBERG -- 831 AS -- Jump holes across Sirius have become increasingly volatile and chaotic over the last year, with Professor Sophia Nagel from the Heisenberg Research Station linking the unusual phenomena to the Pulse. The Pulse was an unprecedented blast of hyperspace energy that was detected immediately prior to last year's Jump Gate Blackout. Professor Nagel and her team are certain the Pulse originated from outside Sirius, but are otherwise no closer to identifying its source or mitigating a future Blackout event. "Following the Blackout, we began to see immediate signs of jump hole destabilization in multiple different regions, with many ultimately falling out of phase alignment altogether", she commented. The dramatic upending of Sirius' jump hole network has already prompted many groups to abandon stations and withdraw from systems that appear to risk being cut off. While months-long trips between the stars are possible thanks to the Liberty Engine and many centuries of innovation, few ships are designed or provisioned to make such arduous journeys. Those who were displaced by Sirius' redrawn map hope that system connections will return, while adventurers and explorers rush to discover new routes. |
| [831 AS] A new dawn for Dublin |
|
ARRANMORE -- 831 AS -- Bretonia has finally been expelled from Dublin! Molly forces across Bretonia were gathered to Dublin in preparation for the greatest battle in our history. Agents aboard Graves Station laid the groundwork for the Second Revolt among a crew that was outraged by tyranny and mistreatment. A small nudge was all that was needed for the mutiny, and we salute the martyrs aboard the mining ship Glyndwr for their necessary contribution to the cause. Seizing control of Graves was a ruse to lure in the Battleship Essex, and the station's scuttling was a fitting end for the Bretonian Marines sent to take it back. Occupying the Essex's attention took the lives of many brave fighters, but allowed a strike force led by the Destroyer Shillelagh to penetrate the Jump Gate's remaining defenses and cripple it. With Graves destroyed, the Essex fled. This fight was the single bloodiest day in the Mollys' 80-year history, but it has won us liberation. |
