"They're pirates out of desperation, terrorists out of necessity."
At first glance, the origin of the Mollys seems shrouded, but the political undercurrents that lead to the current state of Dublin can be seen as early as 750 A.S. The mining revolts of 752 and subsequent attempts by the BAF and BPA to pacify the region only hardened the resolve of the embryonic faction, leaving them with a burning determination to free Dublin from Bretonian control and corporate manipulation. The advent of the Molly-Rogue pact a short while later allowed them access to the latter group's shipbuilding experience, and together they collaborated on a number of projects, including the Z-9000 Barghest, and culminating in the Scylla. After locating a system--which they deemed Londonderry--to call home, the fledgling Mollys began to operate towards the liberation of Dublin in earnest. Due to the small nature of the organization, open war was out of the question, and instead they focus on lightning raids against convoys and poorly-defended military assets.
After a Corsair fleet decimated the Mollys near the planet Cork, a new objective came into view. Not only would the Mollys continue to work towards freeing their homeland, now they also had their dead to avenge. To this day, Corsairs and Mollys clash in the Omegas, leaving broken ships and broken lives on either side.

[font=Palatino Linotype]Bastard - Fresh meat. The recruits fly cheap ships and drink even cheaper alcohol. Their goal is to fly interference for the Rookies of the Mollys, and to free up valuable assets from standard patrol duty. ~ Flys Hyena +Bactrain + Werewolf+Spatial+Hegemon

[font=Palatino Linotype]Rookie - [color=#CC9933]They went from the frying pan into the fire and came out of it smelling like smoke, but still alive. These pilots have survived the harrowing Molly stage of their career and almost to a man. ~ Flys All Minus Gunboat + Scylla

[font=Palatino Linotype]Ace - [color=#CC9933]Sometimes in life a man does something incredible. For some, it's landing the dream job. For the Mollys, it's usually something done while inebriated and shouting insults at Bretonia. The Aces, determined to one-up each other, have done nothing short of the fantastic. Only the best of the Bretonian Armed Forces pilots can compare to them. ~ Flys All minus Scylla
~ Make a name for yourself (Members will judge if suitable for promotion) then promoted to...
[font=Palatino Linotype]Verteran - [color=#CC9933]Their names are whispered in fear among those who even what they are capable of. ~ Flys All

[font=Palatino Linotype]Vice Governor - [color=#CC9933]Like a Governor, but focuses more on administrative tasks. Filling in for the Governor when she/he is out on business, the Vice Governor is a person to be reckoned with among the Mollys, possessing vast influence on day-to-day operations.
[font=Palatino Linotype]Governor - [color=#CC9933]The big cheese. The head honcho. Any way you slice it, this person runs it. From the largest smugging convoy to the smallest bribe, the Governor is the one who makes it all happen.

Councilor of War
Councilor of Relations
Councilor of Mining & Trade
The Governor & Vice Governor have the biggest votes and are the top dogs over the Councilors. There are three councilors within the [M]ollys who command a little section of their own. Each councilor controls his set section & makes developments and adoptions in the faction on their specialty. They put forward their ideas and brainstorms to the rest of the council for discussion and vote on if it should go through and be added to the [M]ollys. No action can be put fourth if it does not receive at least three votes. Each Councilor can elect their own 'secretary-type-person' who has no power or is even mentioned, but would help and work with the Councilor via S.K.Y.P.3 comms on matters concerning their area.
