The Dublin Crisis was the result of increasing violence between rival Irish and Arab gangs in Dublin, South California, New Albion.
Cause of the Crisis[]
Although most of the goings-on within the Green Army are harmless, it is considerable that what used to be considered a symbol of New Albion's nobility has in recent years been considered the cause of recent troubles. In August 2006, NABI linked Marlowe's actions to the resurgence of the Illyria Company, a militia group shut down following the 1989 Green State Crisis. It is currently suspected that Marlowe had been co opted.
