Ever since the Founders day revolt of 752 AS, The Mollys have fought a war on 3 fronts. Caught like a rat between the Bretonian Military, the Corsairs and their Gaian allies. As successful as the guerrilla tactics were against the Bretonian Navy, the corsairs were a different breed of enemy, and
could often avoid or turn these tactics against the Mollys. A meeting was held between the Mollys and their closest allies; The Outcasts, Rogues, and The Red Hessians. after many days of deliberation, a pact was signed, The Union of Gold.
The Outcasts and Hessians were to supply the Mollys ships, materials, weapons, supplies, and even several capital ships in exchange for large amounts of the precious metal.
The Molly Leader responsible for signing this agreement, Dr. Patrick O'Carrol, a noted researcher and weapons developer, was killed a few weeks later by a corsair raid. In his memory, many of the UOG vessels have been given scientific names.With these expanded resources the Mollys were able to construct large scale system defenses for the Dublin system. This enabled them to start building small attack groups which would allow the mollys to actively move to engage the Corsairs and Gaians, to help their Outcast and Hessian brethren. Soon after these advances, Londonderry was discovered. This huge area opened new possibilties, a mining station, a shipyard, two HQs, one for jump hole defense and the other tucked away in an asteriod field. Lastly, Cork, the only planet in Londonderry. It was once a bustiling center with Mollies happily going about their business. Then, the Corsairs invaded. Cork was destroyed by thermo-nuclear bombs. Now, all that is left of the planet is craters and a debris field.
Today, one enemy is gone, and one more is added. The Colonial Wars have begun, bringing Lane Hackers, Outcasts, Mollies, Gaians, Independant Miners, Corsairs, and others into the fray in Dublin. Neutrality with the Bretonians, and independence have almost been reached! As the war draws to a close, we shall avenge Cork, which was lost to the Corsair invasion of Londonderry. We will strike back! Soon we will have a new saying! For Gold! For Cork!
The Union of Gold grew, the gold that it promised bringing in fresh new faces and talented pilots.
but the ideals of the UOG will remain the same, for now:
