Gallagher Territory: Difference between revisions

 

== History ==

Otonabee, having connections within the [[Imperial Federation]], were invited early to the controversial [[Berlin Conference]], the meeting of nations to carve up the New World before it was released. An early consideration for the claims of Gallagher was to ensure they were small and reasonable to not invite conflict with other interested nations.

 

Several core members took to exploring the ocean shard upon the release of the new continent, with three initially and three arriving later on. These members reached the land claimed for Gallagher within the first six hours of release, and quickly took to establishing a small bunker and bastion grid, and later a small village on the north of the claims. The western section of the claim was found to be a fantastic biome for growing crops, and a small carrot farm was established.

The eastern claim of Gallagher initially bordered [[Synlandia]], a small one-man nation run by SyndicateNA. This lead to a minor conflict between [[SPQR]] and Synlandia over rivalling claims, with Otonabee later stepping in to trade their small island for Synlandia's initial claim to reduce possible conflict. Gallagher's claims were also extended south when the nation to their south never settled their land.

Dispite a minor disagreement following the placement of incorrect border markers by Polaria, and some minor issues with bastion placement, these claims were well respected by other nations, and Gallagher was later invited into the [[Far Seas Alliance]] (FSA)<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/i8laag/announcing_the_far_seas_alliance_fsa/</ref>. Gallagher also acted as a key mediator in the Norlund/SPQR - Imperial Federation<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/i4kh6o/if_apology_post_and_explaining_our_current/g0ixroi/</ref> disputes over the ownership of the abandoned Roman colonies, and again later following the Norlish intervention in the [[Imperial Federation Civil War|IF Civil War]].

 

On the 28th of August, Gallagher was formalised into a territory of Otonabee, with the role of custodian granted to prawny331. This would later become relevant as Otonabee joined Varathia and then Carbon, but Gallagher remained under the sole control of Otonabee<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/ikbrgr/announcing_the_unification_of_nations_and_the/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/inzrzj/otonavarathian_empire_joins_carbon/</ref>. Following the [[Olympia|Olympian]] occupation of [[Lynn]] towards the end of the [[Second Hell War]], the several Otonabian citizens fled to Gallagher to escape the conflict with their material possessions and regroup.

With Otonabee now a member of Carbon, many saw it as being Carbon-affiliated. When the [[New World Pirates]] fled to the New World to escape the fallout from the CivCorp obbybombing, the pirates chose the southern mountains of Gallagher to be their primary bunker. This lead to inevitable conflict when members of Gallagher were attacked by the Pirates. After a week of conflict centred around (and under) Gallager, the FSA sucessfully liberated Gallagher from Pirate occupation<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/CivRealms/comments/j4ixf6/peace_in_the_new_world/</ref>. Gallagher's newly formed Anti-Piracy Task Force fought alongside the [[Sesoria|Sesorian]] horde and [[Vibeville]] space marines to save their icy homeland.

IKEA_FRIDGE was named the new Custodian of Gallagher, and the colony's claims were changed, with territory being given to Polaria for their suffering in the Barbary War. Gallagher was expanded before activity dropped due to the ongoing [[Great War]] on the mainland.

 

Gallagher is a mountainous, icy, barren tundra with scattered glaciers stretching from the highlands down to sea level. The north-eastern portion of the claim has a large Mega Taige biome fantastic for growing carrots and redwood (spruce) trees.

The town of Gallagher is a small, Norse themed settlement with several houses, a church, factory room and docks providing basic services for colonists. It lacks many amenities when compared to other larger New World cities like [[New Providence]], Callisto and Vibeville.

 

 

The Custodian has complete control over the use of the land in accordance with Otonabian law, and is appointed by the Beekeeper (leader) of Otonabee.

 

Gallagher is linked to the [[Zeal]] underground horse tunnel network, making a branch across the southern section between Norlund and Polaria<ref>https://images-ext-1.discordapp.net/external/zArEeFQfENmfyskifkXyXFmDnRdTSe70fhA39bBhEwI/https/media.discordapp.net/attachments/733325732700225648/760438665175760956/HorseTunnelMap_8_31_2020.png</ref>. Gallagher is also linked by an overground road between the colony itself and the Polarian capital.
