Casablanca is a base orbiting the gas giant [[Planet Rabat|Rabat]] in the Omega-47 system. Formerly inhabited by [[Corsairs]] attempting to mine the large quantities of neon present in the atmosphere of the bases' primary, it was captured by the Red Hessians as a strategic objective in their offensive of 811 A.S.

Although the base was planned to become a major checkpoint on the road to Omega-41, the Corsair [[Battleship Fes|battleship Fes]] that has been stationed in the system to guard the jump hole since, as well as the stream of pirates constantly heading towards Omega-49 has turned Casablanca into a fortified mining outpost and refuelling base, focusing on local defence rather than war preparations.

Casablanca is a Corsair base in the Omega-47 system, particularly known for being heavily contested by the Red Hessians and the Corsairs since the start of its operations. Originally commissioned by the Corsairs in 810 A.S. as a gas miner experiment in what was at the time an isolated system, the base became a target in the Corsair-Hessian war after the stabilisation of a jump hole linking Omega-5 with Omega-47. The Hessians wasted no time in launching an offensive on the base, and after a short period of fighting successfully took the base in 811 A.S. after what was to be known as the Battle for Casablanca. The base remained in Hessian hands for the next eight years, as they doggedly defended it against Corsair counter attacks and continued to disrupt Corsair movements in the system, effectively creating a wedge in Corsair supply lines leading to Dublin. In early 819 A.S. the Corsair elders had had enough. Mustering a larger number of warships and fighters from the Crete defence fleet itself, they drove a surprise push into Hessian lines and retook it once again. After years of fighting Casablanca base is hardly usable as anything but a war outpost. Heavy fighting still occurs in orbit of Rabat, as the Corsairs fortify the base in anticipation of a Red Hessian counter attack.
