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-48 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. This also means we are responsible for protecting what is ours, and preventing invaders and usurpers from undoing our hard work. The Corsairs have long been a presence in Dublin that we have curtailed, but our 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. Additionally, 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 48 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 will need supplies from the Junkers of Trafalgar or the Zoners of Freeport 1. Arranmore is requiring each Molly station to immediately dispatch a wing of their best smugglers for service in Dublin.

[832 AS] Bloodless Victory Turns Sour

KILREA -- 832 AS -- Liberation Day in Dublin allowed our forces to hit the tyrannical Bretonian Crown in the only place it would notice: the treasury. Starved of the bloody Gold they use to subsidize their repression, Bretonia announced its withdrawal from Poole in a bloodless victory for the Mollys. All Poole's liberation required was patience - simply to wait for DSE to finish disassembling the jump gate. Sadly, these aspirations have turned sour with the destabilization of the Dublin jump hole, and signs that the Cambridge and Omega 48 jump holes will soon follow suit. If these jump holes fail, our people will be cut off and stranded to starve. We cannot risk such a disaster in this critical stage of our fight for freedom. 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 evicted from Dublin! Molly forces across Bretonia were gathered to Dublin in preparation for the greatest battle in our movement's history. Agents aboard Graves Station had already 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 served as the perfect 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, New London cut off and the Essex fled, Dublin is liberated from Bretonian oppression for the first time in history. This fight was the single bloodiest day in the Mollys' 80 year history, but it has won us true independence and true freedom.

Rumors

Mollys

Rocks, rocks, and more rocks. Sometimes it gets old looking at rocks... rocks... and more rocks... Saaaayyy.. You wouldn't happen to have any rocks, would you? Some say that we won't pull through. That we won't be able to handle two nations at once. Well we'll just have to see about that. Oi! Hey you! Guess what? I figured out the secret to success in any fight! Grey'ound... wait for it... wait for it... WITH A MINI RAZOR! Oh ya. No 'sair is gonna mess with me when I've got that at my side! After a long day of mining, it's good to just sit back, relax, and have a drink. Aye? You know what I like better than shooting 'sairs? Shooting those Gallic guys that think they can just waltz into Bretonia like it's a piece of cake. Here's what I say to that, my mini razor in your face! Hah! Sairs at our right, Gallia knocking on our door, uneasy relations with the Armed Forces. Looks like we're going to have a hell of a gunfight. Rocks, asteroids. Same thing. Just yesterday I got in an arguement about whether to call rocks, asteroids. Or.. was it the other way around? Sure hope our boys out in the field don't work too hard. They need to reserve some energy, just in case some 'Sair shows up out of no where.
