Belfast Production Facility was built by BMM 726 AS to refine for minerals mined on planet Middlesbrough before shipping them out of system. The base suffered some casualties in the wake of the Founders Day Revolt, but unlike at Graves Station, the station security on Belfast was able to lock the station down and wait for the Bretonian Police Authority, and BMM stayed in control of the station.

Molly sentiments remained high among the Belfast workforce and the Middlesbrough miners for decades due to ongoing tight police presence on the station. In late 814, while BAF forces were concentrating on the Kusari Front in the Taus, the Mollies attacked the station with a force of improvised Gunboats and a large portion of their fighter craft. The Mollies quickly took control of the station and ejected the captured BMM executives from the top airlock. After seizing the station, the Mollies modified its facilities to produce an improvement on the improvised capital ships they had used to capture the base.

During the invasion of Bretonia by Gallia, the Mollies fortified the station and built a defensive minefield to defend the station from Bretonian attacks. In late 825, having deemed that the Mollies would not be useful allies after the war was won, Gallia betrayed them by launching a surprise attack from inside their defenses. The GRI Battleship Embrun, after being moored and under repair by the station for days, deployed a contingent of marines who captured the command center of the station. With no interest in securing the population or fighting any insurgency aboard, the GRI forces aboard sealed the command module and then proceeded to override all safety procedures, open the airlocks, blast doors, and docking bays, suffocating the clear majority of the station's population. Any who made it to emergency air supplies were later killed as the base was repressurized section by section.
