Mogari-nai

Mogari-nai’s dish became a strategic target in the conspirators’ attempt to isolate the mainland from the heavens: they believed that holding the site would prevent communication and leave Lord Geigi unable to threaten their control.

The Communications Site

Mogari-nai is identified as the location of a dish connected to communications with the heavens. Its significance in the coup lay not in any described settlement or landscape, but in the communications access the conspirators believed it could deny.

Role in the Coup Attempt

The conspirators coordinated attacks on the shuttles, the airport at Shejidan, and the dish at Mogari-nai, seeking to control every means of reaching the heavens. They believed there were no mines there and that holding Mogari-nai would prevent communication; on that assumption, they considered Lord Geigi no longer a threat. Their effort to seize the routes and signals linking the mainland to the heavens made Mogari-nai a key point in a wider strategy of isolation.
