 Jack Dolany was a renowned huntsman turned artisan. After the crash‐landing on [[the_planet_voi_700_d|VOI 700 D,]] settlers lacked reliable tools and weapons to tame the frontier. In 2626, Dolany built a modest workshop high in the [[atrana_mountains|Atrana foothills]] and single‐handedly designed, forged, and assembled the first‐generation [[windstrike_rifle|Windstrike Rifle]]. His rifles — silent, precise, and deadly — quickly became prized by trappers, scouts, and frontier militias.
-With the outbreak of the [[great_war|Great War]] in 2628, the [[volunteer_army_of_man|Volunteer Army of Man (VAM)]] requisitioned his workshop. Dolany oversaw its rapid expansion into a full‐scale manufactory, adding the mass-deployable [[ironstrike_slingshot|Ironstrike Slingshot]] to its arsenal. Despite wartime pressures, he maintained exacting standards—every weapon met his personal marksmanship test.

 After the [[peace_treaty|Peace Treaty]] of 2631 banned private arms-production, Dolany faced unbearable loss of purpose. He took his own life that year, leaving the Forge shuttered and his legacy etched in both steel and sorrow.
