Holman's Heroes

[Holman's Heroes]

History and Information

---

Holman Outpost was constructed in the late 600s after the formation of the Independent Miners Guild. Due to competition with BMM, the IMG decided to strike new claims deep in unexplored territory, and Tau-31 was selected for a mining outpost. Before long, water and oxygen miners descended from the base, collecting from the rich fields of pure oxygen and frozen water in the many crystals surrounding the base. These oxygen and water shipments went out to various IMG and Zoner bases deep in the Taus, as further and further the exploratory guild probed into deep space.

Eventually, contact with the Outcasts was established, and before long, piracy attempts were being made on hapless transports. The Guild Defense Force was formed, consisting mainly of miners-turned-fighters, using used civilian ships with guns bolted on that barely functioned. Yet, they were still somehow successful in dissuading pirates from striking IMG convoys, and before long, they had made a name for themselves - Holman’s Heroes, they were called, the finest of the Guild Patrolmen available.

However, times were rough on Holman. With the invasion of Gallia into the Taus, the IMG were hastily forced into a non-aggression pact while the Bretonian infrastructure crumbled around them. As this happened, it became harder to make profit out of water and oxygen from the base, and thus many workers were forced to be laid off. Eventually, it got to the point that Holman miners would leave their designated areas to go mine in Tau-23, Tau-29, or even Dublin, just to make the money they needed to support their families. As this grew worse and worse, some of the miners even headed down into the Omegas, where rich fields of Silver, Copper, and Cobalt resided, ready to be claimed. As more and more the population of Holman suffered under Gallic occupation, Holman’s Heroes decided to take action. Leading a convoy full of transports down through war-stricken Bretonia, they left behind their namesake home, and established themselves in the deep Omegas, hoping to strike a profit on the rich ore fields there, free from Gallic oppression.

However, the Rheinland corporations had other plans. The ruthless Daumann and Kruger miner executives would not stand for these miners taking up valuable real estate, and gave them an ultimatum to either stand down and be assimilated into their parent companies, or be evicted forcefully. Holman’s Heroes chose the second option, and took up arms against the ruthless corporations.

Today, Holman’s Heroes is a symbol for the true virtues of the Independent Miners Guild - fighting against the oppressive mining corporations and safeguarding the people of the Omegas from the crushing grasp of scrupulous executives. Rumour has it that some of the Heroes even still persist on Holman, taking down Outcasts in the hope of clearing out their home.
