1-47 Union (2021)

For other uses, see 1-47 (disambiguation)
The 1-47 Union, more commonly referred to as 1-47 or The Union, is a faction located in the Sandbox Region. Its official capital is Valen Sandbox, though it also holds strong ties to the Friendly Garry's Mod Server. This group is heavily based on the Unified Defense Force (UDF) and Royal Eskeylian Military, retaining many of the same components.
==History==
===The Revival===
On January 20, 2021, multiple former members of 1-47 Combine/UDF decided to revive the original 1-47 Combine out of nostalgia, forming it separately from UDF. The newly reborn Union was originally planned to be a casual group kept in relative isolation from meta affairs; however, it quickly became more organized and made its return to the meta not long after.
===Unification with ULSCI===
On February 16, 2021, Ally for Hire held a vote to determine if the Union should "unify" with the United Legion of SCI. The Union, if it were to be "unified" with ULSCI, would become a semi-autonomous group under the Legion's control while still retaining the ranks of their soldiers and the ability to act independently. The unification vote was successfully passed later that day with a result of 8 votes in favor and 6 votes against.
===Treaty & Broken Treaty===
On February 17, 2021, Garfgangian troops joined the Friendly Garry's Mod Server without warning during a routine 1-47 training. After being alerted to the situation by D-BOI-9341, Swat07 began to negotiate terms of peace with X GONN, the leader of Garfgangia, in order to avoid any potential hostilities. Both groups eventually compromised on a treaty stating that neither one would be allowed to wear their tags or patrol on the server, which was mutually agreed upon until the Union discovered that X GONN had announced an upcoming patrol to the members of the Garfgangia Discord despite the treaty. 
In response to X GONN's actions, Union members went on the server with tags on, harming their relationship with the community in the process. Garfgangia never joined FGC again, and it would soon go on to be disbanded after one final attack on the Corn Flake Crew server.
===The Renaissance===
Over a month, the Union had nothing much to do. It felt like the end was near for the new and revived Union. However, D-BOI-9341 came up with an idea. The idea was to basically go on a server, and just have fun with the community, while not doing anything harmful to it in the process. The idea was soon approved, and they did their first expedition on the Friendly Garry's Mod Server. It went pretty well, however, some parts of the community were not very appreciative of this, because of the Union's identity, and the fact that they are a faction. The disagreeing parts of the community made an iceberg, and included the Union, locking the wiki in order to keep any members from editing it. The info was mostly incorrect and outdated. 
====Negativity within the community====
The community hated the Union, and factions as a whole. Most of the veterans of the server dislike the new "1-47R" (The "R" abbreviates to "renaissance".). Even though, the Union told them about how they still used the "R". The Union is trying to mend the community's relationship with them, and maybe even other factions.
===Change in Leadership===
Ally for Hire believed that he was not doing enough to support the Union and eventually grew tired of leading it. On March 24, 2021, he officially left 1-47 to form the Kinetic Assault Initiative and transferred ownership of the Union and its Discord server to JonahSoldier, the person who he trusted the most. As the leader of the Red Sun Military Forces, Jonah felt that he would be unable to properly represent the Union, so he passed the position of Universal Commander to D-BOI-9341 while still retaining ownership of the Discord server.
===Potential War & Announcement===
On April 11, 2021, KAI requested 1-47 support on NPC Zombies Vs Players claiming that the Imperial Alliance could bring their full force onto the server. After high command discussed the situation, D-BOI made an announcement about this potential war and his plans for the Union.
==The Unions Involvement in WW4==
Main Article: World War IV
On April 15th, 2021, Sovinia (SOVIN) had a joke civil war, where the Union sided with East SOVIN. At the time, ULSCI and 1-47 were in an alliance called the Federation. When it formed, 1-47 were told they could leave at any moment, and so during this fake civil war and another possible war with UNR, 1-47 decided to leave their alliance, which caused it to collapse. ULSCI did not hold their word and sought revenge against 1-47 for leaving their alliance. All powers involved in the fake civil war turned on 1-47. ULSCI and NRK invaded FGC, which was 1-47's main server. Outsiders looking in, mostly from FGC-based factions and some GMAP members, saw this happening despite ULSCI's promise and began assisting 1-47 in their war. The Union assisted in more battles in the vanilla part and some in Minecraft.
===Sovinian Civil War===
On April 14, 2021, Union troops were patrolling around the Friendly Garry's Mod Server, when suddenly, troops from both the Imperial Alliance and West Sovinia arrived. As soon as the Alliance joined, they started firing at Union soldiers. Alongside the Alliance were the West Sovinians, who were in the middle of a civil war with East Sovinia. The Union supported East Sovinia, so West Sovinians allied themselves with the Alliance. At first, the Imperial Alliance with its vanilla tech superiority gained the upper ground. Later on, the Alliance decided to fight in infantry combat. The battle was claimed by the Union, since they stayed on the server at the end of the battle.
===Independence from ULSCI===
On April 15, 2021, high commanders within the Union secretly talked about the United Legion's power within the Federation, and how they were able to remove soldiers' ranks. They felt cheated, and because the United Legion and the Union did not support KAI in battles, the Initiative required the United Legion's grip on the Union to be relinquished, or else they will not support it.
On April 17, 2021, the United Legion's grip on the Union was removed. In the Discord server, a text channel was created for them to discuss, and/or debate about it.
One of the United Legion's high commanders straight up left without even trying to discuss, or debate. Another high commanders of the United Legion tried to, but it didn't help their case that much in the end.After the United Legion's grip on the Union was removed, the United Legion made an announcement. The announcement said that the United Legion would suspend its "alliance" with the Union, pull out of the Union's conflict with the Imperial Alliance, maintain its alliance with Garry's Mod Alliance Pact (including previous alliances made before the Legion joined the Pact, that still exists). The announcement also states that the Legion does not care about territorial agreements regarding the Union. The announcement later stated "FUCK YOU", presumably directed towards the Union.
==The Unions Elections==
===The First Election===
The first election started on July 5th, ended the next day, with Thecraftianman and SlayerMelon as candidates. It was a total landslide in favor of thecraftianman.
===The Second Election===
The second election began on November 19th, ended on the 22nd. This one was between JonahSoldier, Slayermelon and Thecraftianman (D-BOI was also added as a secret option later in the race). It was very back-and-forth the entire time up until the very end, it started off with Thecraftianman having a big lead, but eventually He became tied with Jonah while Slayer was beating them both, which prompted the existing 1-47 high command members to start trying to convince people to change their votes, and Slayer began doing the same thing soon after. Over time, Jonah slowly lost votes, and the race came down to a constantly shifting competition between Slayer and Thecraftianman, which the latter eventually won. 
==The Unions Involvement in The Room Temperature War==
Main Article: Room Temperature War
During the Room Temperature War, the Union staied neutral for some time before joining on behalf of RSMF, though they didn't really end up doing anything besides being present for one battle because most of the fighting happened with DakTank and the Union didn't have any DakTank tech that was decent enough to use. The Union joined because of: A: it became increasingly obvious Neo Orzel is fucked, and B: Neo Orzel raids the Union's claimed servers. internally most of Neo Orzel was for the most part already disliked, and they were trying to stay friendly with 1-47 for the sole reason that they thought 1-47's staff roles on various servers could help them, which (When they actually raided some of 1-47's servers) made the decision to get involved fairly easy.
==The 1-47 - NAJM Micro-Conflict==
A microgroup on FGC was formed during the Room Temperature war, it was a small, disorganized group called NAJM that was mostly just the leader, Muhudzaba Alzekabir, and a couple other FGC players that he recruited. They were pretty awful at fighting with everything except a single flying mech suit vanilla dupe that was shared to its members, which was so stupidly powerful and overused that it almost got the leader banned. The mech was the only thing that the Union had trouble with because it was so busted and was the only thing that Muhud would fight with. After a while, he eventually left FGC out of nowhere and his group died, though he would come back under a different name.
===The Discord Server Leak===
On October 25th, the Unions Discord got publicly leaked by an NCO who was pissed off at Slayermelon, and the NCO was subsequently kicked the next day.
