System Description
The Firgrove system is located near the Kautokeino and New Syrtis systems[4] and consists of a class F4V primary orbited by at least five planets. During the thirty-first century a recharge station was in place at the nadir jump point.[1]
System History
The Firgrove system was colonized at some point during or shortly before the Age of War.[5][6] On the 19th of June 3080 the Taurian Concordat attempted to strike at the Clyde Shipyards by raiding the Firgrove system with the Quixote-class WarShip TCS Vendetta.[7] A fragment of a news broadcast being recorded by the TNS reporter Joshua MacDermott indicated that the Vendetta had been hit by several explosions within a minute of beginning to maneuver after emerging from the jump point, with the First Officer of the Vendetta, Able Ritcher, indicating that the Vendetta had emerged into - or moved into - a minefield of some kind. In addition to the damage inflicted by the explosions, the footage indicated that the Vendetta was being targeted with capital missiles before retreating from the system.[8]
Firgrove V
Template:InfoBoxPlanetStandard Firgrove V - more commonly known simply as Firgrove - is the fifth planet in the system and has a single moon named An Claí Fada. For much of its history an orbital shipyard has been in place above Firgrove.[1]
Planetary History
Star League Era
During the twenty-eighth century the significance of Firgrove and its shipyards was such that the planet would be home to the Ninth Syrtis Fusiliers for more than fifty years.[9]
Jihad
During the Jihad the Geenock Flight Academy - a for-profit flight academy based at the Ormond Intercontinental Aeroport - reworked its existing maintenance facilities to allow for limited manufacturing, producing the ancient Vulcan aerospace fighter originally manufactured by the Rim Worlds Republic.[1] In the wake of the Jihad the Clyde Shipyards expanded their production, but as late as mid-3081 were still unable to produce at maximum capacity because of Blakist sabotage.[10]

Geography
Firgrove is a nearly unique combination of environments. Along the equator it has one continent, Thurles, which is dominated by deserts. The second continent, Ormond, has an ecology based on vast peatbog plains.[1]
Planetary Locations
- Tipperary: the planetary capital city, located on Ormond, as were most cities on Firgrove.[1]
- Geenock: site of the Ormond Intercontinental Aeroport and location of the Geenock Flight Academy.[1]
