GaelWind: Difference between revisions

====Bonn Hotel Bombing====

GaelWind came into public focus in 1976 when the Hotel Bonn, a foreign-themed and run hotel in [[Sethsport]], was targeted by a terror cell operating under the GaelWind banner. A smuggled explosive device was used to destroy a wing of the building, followed by eleven armed militiamen assaulting the hotel and firing indiscriminately. The situation was resolved with Office of Political Security personnel engaging with the terrorists in a gunfight, killing eight and capturing the remaining three. Seventy-three civilians were killed in the attack, with another one hundred and twenty injured; the attack marked the lowest point in the [[Lean Years]] in Fhainnaeran and resulted in a wave of counterterrorism actions resulting in over a dozen death sentences and the banning of the group. Two minor politicians who held office under the auspices of the GaelWind Party at the time were forced to give up their public careers.

====1992 Vandarch Canal Crisis====

Main Article: [[Vandarch Canal Crisis]]

The 1992 collapse of the Covine Democratic Republic and subsequent invasion by Fhainnaeran lead to a surge in GaelWind sympathies among the Fhainnin and other Gaelic subgroups within Covina, leading directly to a brief war of independence in the eastern reaches of the country. Following the 1993 intervention of the [[League of Nations]] and the defeat of the Covine Republic by [[Kamil Hanak]]'s State Forces, these groups were left largely without international recognition, even by their 'liberators'. Numerous claims of Fhainnin-made weapons and supplies being fielded by the incessant insurgency cells in the eastern plains, especially along the Vandarch coast, have failed to produce significant League investigation or action by third parties, contributing to a general decline in centralized power in Covina, which has increased into full-scale uprising as of the events of the ongoing [[Covine Ember War]].
