[Y] Faction History (Draft)
Our working class parents moved to Graves Station in the early days of the gold rush, lured by promise of good working conditions and high wages. They left us kids behind with a carer, and vowed to send their pay back home to us, to give us a better life than they had had. But when BMM exploited workers and mistreated them, each of our parents (two brothers and a sister) died. First the sister succumbed to the intense conditions, and died of exhaustion. One brother was involved in a preventable industrial accident; and the other, enraged at deaths of his siblings took part in the Founders Day Revolt and was killed in action on that historic first uprising.
As young men back home, we vowed to use the funds that had been sent home to join in the uprising, and get our revenge on the BMM, who were responsible for our parents' deaths. Fighting together wherever possible, we did well with the Mollys and rose within their ranks. But now the Mollys have betrayed the memory of our parents. (//more info to come here) Instead of wiping the cursed BMM out, treasonous talk has turned into policy, and now the Mollys want to negotiate peace. (//will be expanded upon)
On a recent mission (//and more info here too) we broke free and escaped only with the ships we had, and a few credits between us. The only way to purchase food rations was through piracy, and we wandered across half the known universe trying to find a place to call home. Liberty seemed to be a safe place to pause and consolidate as it has plenty of traffic but no direct alliances with BMM or their allies. The Junkers have made us welcome... for now.
BMM ships are our first choice of prey, and any BMM related entities. Our hope is to grow strong enough to exact our revenge on our parents' murderers, and once again bring BMM to its knees!
