Operation Ireland

Operation Ireland (April 29, Imperial Year 9989) was the first military operation that is considered to have begun the Estellion-Midworld War. The operation was to use the Prototype Ireland, a high density, atmosphere cannon aboard the Nimbus, to provide cover for Estellion Fleets, known as the Midworld Subjugation Forces, invading into Midworld airspace. The Ireland helped to destroy the defenses of many important military bases and this operation became the reason that the Midworld nations banded together to form the Pillar Alliance.
