[font=Palatino Linotype]Summary

"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]Structure

[font=Palatino Linotype]A Molly - [color=#CC9933]Everyone wants to be one, they just don't know it. Ya'll start as a Molly and most will never be promoted. They are the main body of the Mollys. Only a few who shine out, get promoted to a title of Veteran.


[font=Palatino Linotype]A Veteran - [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 Veterans, 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.


[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.

Why the Poll?

I feel when a faction creation has started, there are a lot of mix views and most of the negative views don't get said openly, so I created the poll to mostly help ourselves in faction evolving, knowing something needs changing or not & inter-faction confidence.
