I've kept the Hellhole as the primary drug producing site and central training area for something like those reasons. Yes, it probably has a fair chunk of the other site abilities but those got moved out to the other sites for efficiency reasons.
This interpretation does lead to a SIXTH site; Operations HQ, codenamed: The Dark Tower.
As to the general timeline, I too semi-used the Crystal Osaka crash as a general start of the 'middle' of the OGJ plot. GGG was kinda the litteral middle with con 2013 (which because of a mis-read I've been calling Worldcon Serenity Valley) at the end. The idea of a Battle of Serenity Valley after the events of GGG leading to the last phase of the OGJ plot was just appropriate in my opinion. Personally, I was going to have A.C. track down the rough area of space one of the bases was in. I was thinking The Farm, leading to Shipwreck Island, then an all out assault on Jusenkyou followed by Greenland and finally the Hellhole before finding out about The Dark Tower.
Any comments?
