United Legion of SCI

The United Legion of Simple Captain Icky's (ULSCI) is a Military Junta dedicated to the prime goal of defending servers from internal and external threats. It has a bumpy history of wars and politics, and is still alive. United Legion of SCI operates on Sandbox servers, especially ones they find favorable for basing in. Since its founding in 2016, the ULSCI has participated in a multitude of armed conflicts. The ULSCI are also known for being a rather vagabond group, often jumping from server to server, with no designated capitol which they settle in, limiting their contact with outsiders to Discord and random encounters in-game.
==History==
===Founding (June 22nd, 2016)===
The United Legion of SCI was first founded in a revolution against the Legendary Protectors on Simply Captain Icky's servers in 2016. After ending the war with a victory, the ULSCI entered a long state of dormancy because of TLP's defeat, followed by a lack of purpose. In 2017, the ULSCI, having a minor reactivation, went to war against a massive army of minges and armed militias rampaging SCI 2, a neurotec server. The ULSCI believes it is one of the only 4 groups to have been founded on SCI Servers (ULSCI, FOXCBM, KAX, and TLP).
===Summer War (2017)===
The ULSCI, alongside a new group, FOXCBM, lead by Viper, won battles one by one and eventually the de facto leader of the "minge army," Swat07, agreed to surrender, ending the war and bringing peace to SCI Servers. Swat07 eventually became a second in command in the ULSCI. The result of this war was the ULSCI's huge growth in numbers, a strong alliance with FOXCBM, and the formation of The Coalition.
==C.G.I. War (2018) ==
Main article: SCI War
The ULSCI encountered its first group that wasn't founded on SCI in early 2018, C.G.I. Though being mistaken for an
armed militia group, ULSCI attacked one of its convoys, and eventually, the ULSCI lost a base after C.G.I. retaliated with large numbers. This misunderstanding was cleared, and soon the Coalition found a new member group.
However, after disagreements within the Coalition, all C.G.I. members were kicked, and the Coalition claimed that C.G.I. was threatening to go to war, despite them trying to remain peaceful. Because of this, FOXCBM declared war on C.G.I., followed by the rest of the Coalition. ULSCI and Coalition forces fought multiple battles against C.G.I. for control of SCI servers. During this war, disputes were many, with both sides frequently arguing on who won each battle, usually resulting in both sides claiming victory on many occasions. However, some battles had a solid outcome, with both sides trading victories and losses during the conflict. Ultimately, many Coalition factions ended up collapsing, and tensions began rising between the remaining ones. After the Coalition got banned from the SCI servers, C.G.I. and the Coalition made a peace agreement, ending the war.
==SCI Staff Tension==
The SCI Staff were often regarded as lazy, rude, and often targeted GMod groups the most, claiming them to be "Stupid military rp groups." Despite ULSCI and the Coalition having done nothing wrong to the staff, they still harassed them, including their own staff members if they were associated with groups. In the Summer of 2018, ULSCI snapped, and began to mass crash the server in revenge against the staff and their appalling treatment towards them. Considered a stain in the ULSCI's history, the staff now had the justification to begin the mass banning, and the ULSCI was erased from SCI.
ULSCI would only be unbanned after negotiating with a Super Admin during the EI-Entente War. SCI shut down in April of 2019, Phil, the ULSCI leader, had mixed thoughts about this, but mostly believed this was a good thing, after all the things the staff did to them.
==ACF==
The ULSCI first stepped into ACF in mid 2018, during the C.G.I. War. At this time, the ULSCI did not have a good 
understanding of the GMod Meta, and was unaware of the larger groups at the time. The first ACF weapon the ULSCI made was the Mk 1 stationary turret, which was intended to be used for defensive measures against any potential ACF combat against C.G.I.'s forces. At the same time, the ULSCI was investing in their tank program, but little progress was made. However, skilled ACF engineer Leningrad assisted the ULSCI, and built them the MK 1 MBT. The MK 2 MBT was produced near the end of the C.G.I. War, and was used extensively until the beginning of the EI - GMAP War, where it retired from service after fighting PKR.
==The ULSCI Dark Age==
Coined by Phil himself, this time period encompasses the collapse of the Coalition and the formation of the unstable Eagle Initiative. This was also followed by constant infighting, heavy scrutiny from the entire meta, as well as unending controversy and overwhelming confusion caused by information warfare.
=== The Civil War===
Main article: Coalition Civil War
 
The Coalition was unstable, lasting only from October 2017 to June 2018. Infighting between the two groups eventually 
led to the breakout of the Civil War. FOXCBM declared war on SDF, and C.G.I. allied with SDF to help combat the aggression. At this time, both ULSCI and FOXCBM heavily relied on export vehicles from their respective engineers Leningrad (Building for ULSCI) and Bragda (Building for FOXCBM). Though the ULSCI (Referred to as SDF during this period) and their Mk 2 MBT was a worthy opponent to FOXCBM's K2 Black Panther, the war ended in a stalemate, as both believed there was no definitive winner when peace was made on July 4, 2018.
=== EI - GMAP War===
Main article: EI - GMAP War
After the Civil War, relations between both groups re-stabilized, and the Eagle Initiative was founded in September of 2018. During this time, the ULSCI declared war on C.G.I. again as a joke, believing it would be easy to defeat them with their newfound technology. However, they encountered GMAP, a large alliance of groups the ULSCI was well aware of now. The Eagle Initiative warned GMAP about Elias and his malicious behaviors out of decency. However, they did not listen, and Elias had sucked off of GMAP for power and formed the Entente.
=== EI - Entente War===
The EI - Entente War was mostly a war of intelligence, having very few actual battles fought. It was often regarded as 
the longest, most painfully boring war despite it lasting only a few months. At this time, the ULSCI built its first domestically made tank, the L90 Parabellum MBT. In its entire service life, it only knocked out a single tank that belonged to NRK on Omega Arena. The war, like many others the ULSCI fought in, fizzled away. The ULSCI believes this is where it first stepped onto the world stage of Gmod groups. On January 4th, 2019, the ULSCI voted to leave the EI. With FOXCBM being the only member left, the alliance was disbanded. The Discord server was deleted, destroying all of the information inside of it permanently.
===Kurber Ginke===
Kurber Ginke was the official religion of the ULSCI. It was declared the official religion after a ULSCI member posted it 
during a cursed image competition. Kurber Ginke has no background further than this, and is only an inside joke between veteran members. During the prime time of this joke, ULSCI members and other personal friends occasionally launched "crusades" on SCI Sandbox #1. This usually involved participants loading massive amounts of gbombs into the backs of trucks and ramming them into anyone within their sight. As of 2021, it is seldom mentioned, but still as a joke.
==Post-EI War==
The period after the EI - Entente War is often considered the post war period. The ULSCI entered its longest era of peace, and finally had time to rest. After the shut down of SCI, ULSCI began to look for a new server, and eventually, they found Cat's Sandbox. They fought a one week war with a group named the Combine after an incident between a ULSCI patrol and Combine infantry, after AEF, a member group of NATO, warned both of them about a bigger threat, which was confirmed to be IZK, and eventually the Petrograd Pact. A strong alliance was formed between the 1-47 Union and the ULSCI. During this time, the ULSCI went under a resurgence, and renamed themselves from SDF to ULSCI, as a way of respecting their past and the people who once fought with them.
=== NATO-Petrograd War===
The first few battles were on Cat's Sandbox, with a few victories and losses. A major victory was struck on Friendly Garry's Mod server, followed by a loss. The war entered a long period of silence, and during this time, the Mark 4 Contender MBT was produced with the intent of replacing the L90 Parabellum, which retired before the Contender's completion. A final major battle was fought on the Autobox against Orzel forces, which were thought to be Petrograd, ended in a stunning victory for the ULSCI and Combine forces. The period after this marked the end of the war, as the Summer of 2019 came to an end.
=== Withdrawal From NATO===
The 1-47 Combine underwent a schism after incidents of immaturity and high disapproval of such actions within the Combine. AEF assisted in the formation of UNC, taking almost half of the Combine with it. ULSCI saw this as a violation of NATO's goals for mutual protection, and a violation of the Combine's sovereignty. ULSCI swiftly withdrew from NATO after these actions on August 8 after a majority vote.
==Operation Lighting & Operation Thunder==
A Cold War between The ULSCI-Combine alliance and the UNC shortly ensued after. Slowly, the Combine regained lost members, and the ULSCI developed its first jet fighter, the F-55 Pincer. During this time, multiple skirmishes between NRK and ULSCI-Combine forces occurred.
Soon after, a breaking point was reached in September, and a massive invasion from IZK stormed Valen. Phil felt ashamed that he was unable to turn the tides of battle to their favor and attempted to resign his position. However his resignation was short lived as he felt the need to finish the war, and promptly returned. The forces of ISAF received constant backstabbing, threat of spies, and lost every battle in the ISAF-Petrograd war. ISAF was simply far too outgunned to win such a war.
=== The Pause===
The two major powers of ISAF, ULSCI and the 1-47, agreed to head to the negotiating table. However, ULSCI was backstabbed once again, this time by their own ally. The 1-47 failed to stand up for the ULSCI as Petrograd diplomats began to get hungry with considerably outrageous terms. Elias and Sergei took over the negotiations and soon it became direct orders rather than demands. The two immediately demanded that ULSCI hand over all of its weapons and technology under the false pretense of "trophies." However Phil knew this was just so they could use it for much more malicious purposes. As 1-47 sucked up to the rest of the terms, the ULSCI was having none of it. Phil disbanded the ULSCI at 6:32pm on October 2nd, 2019.
=== The Return (Again)===
However this disbandment was also short lived. Phil, having heard about the formation of a Western Coalition, and watching the 1-47 suffer through the rest of the UOIA conflict, decided "fuck it, lets come back." ULSCI officially reactivated on the 1st of November, 2019 at 12:00AM.
==Orzel Membership==
Phil had considered joining Orzel for technological benefits. After an extensive talk with Junebug, an NRK high command, ULSCI was officially admitted into the Orzel Republics on November 17, 2019.
===Battle of Lucid Gaming ===
On January 10, 2020, 1-47 forces stormed the NRK capital of Lucid Gaming. Despite previously encroaching on the territory, Orzel only found out until days later. Initial fighting was fierce, and Orzel established a defensive position on one of the skyscrapers of Bigcity. ULSCI forces held a fierce defensive position, fighting off multiple waves of 1-47 attacks on the tower. After hours of fighting, 1-47 forces lost organization and swiftly collapsed, conceding defeat the same day after the battle.
==Transformation==
Phil retired from GMod and passed the leadership of ULSCI to Swat07, the former second in command. After a heated argument about Swat's leadership, Phil requested Orzel to boot ULSCI from the alliance and notified all other alliances to do the same. Phil cut communications with Swat immediately after. ULSCI underwent a number of policy changes following Swat's ascension to the leader of ULSCI. 
==Disorderly Period ==
The ULSCI was in a poor state in mid 2020, after suffering defeat after defeat, loss after loss, the morale of Phil was crumbled to bits. This was followed with heated complications with Baccio, a fellow friend, which lead to them separating for a long period of time. Phil soon left the meta for a very long time, he feared that a return would lead to him becoming the laughing stock yet again, and so he set off to do other things. During this time, Swat07 resumed his control. Technology was at a low point, with the only weapons in the arsenal being far outdated tanks and sub-par aircraft. The group would enter what is described by both Swat and Phil as a depression, characterized by inactivity and crushing stagnation.
== Rebirth of the ULSCI==
In late January of 2021, Phil finally returned, this time with a new mindset and a moderate outlook on the ULSCI's affairs. He chose to remain as an advisor, refusing to accept any high position of leadership other than his current state. Big changes began to happen, on February 16th, 2021, the ULSCI and the 1-47 completed negotiations and merged together. Dual-Membership was applied to all 1-47 newcomers, and following suit, technological development was resumed once more. 
====Reform and the Idea of Unification====
After much technological development, acquiring new weapons for their arsenal more advanced than before, Phil and Swat07 began to discuss future plans for the ULSCI. This is where the Theory of Unification was unintentionally developed following much conversation between the two optimistic figures. It was an idea that expanded the notion of the gmod meta. Instead of seeing it as factions vying for control of Sandbox, they saw it as shattered, broken, but traversable lands that were in dire need of rebuilding. A key element of this idea is that the factions meta has ruined multiple servers by bringing toxic wars and excessive lag to their doors, with Cat's Sandbox, FGC, and various other servers being examples of this, and as such the ULSCI feels obligated to protect and rebuild the reputation of the meta. Due to the decline of many groups, including major superpowers, the ULSCI saw this as a prime opportunity to one day defeat all that stand in their way, and "unify" Sandbox once and for all, under their guiding hand. With the manpower, technology, and morale, this idea became ever more real than they thought, and so the group remains optimistic for the future that one day they will see peace. For the first time in its history, elections were held on March 5th, with Swat07 retaining his leadership after a majority vote.
====Distrust towards AEF and AEF affiliated individuals====
Bias against AEF was mostly festered under the leadership of Phil_2014, who saw them as a superpower playing god by securing their position via manipulation of minor powers as well as direct interference in certain affairs. This distrust began with the splitting of 1-47 causing the formation of UNC in August of 2019. In October of 2019, months after the destructive Operation Lightning & Thunder, a mass of AEF and AEF allies swarmed Valen Sandbox, 1-47's capital, in alt accounts. Combat ensued after, as well as mass confusion among 1-47 and ULSCI. When Phil asked Strayed, the AEF leader about the incident, he was sent a low quality image of PLA soldiers with red chinese text in the center. The lack of clear communication caused Phil to believe something bigger was at play. 
After joining Orzel, Phil began taking lessons in improving tank designs with Junebug, Ww2Sniper, and Captain Cancer. Phil's beliefs towards AEF were intensified when Cap informed him during a lesson that Lenin, Phil's primary tank exporter during the SCI War and EI-GMAP war was teaching him outdated design methods. Cap then stated that it was because "they" wanted to keep ULSCI from gaining too much power. Although AEF didn't even exist during the EI Wars, and Lenin was formerly ISA, Phil took it in. On February 5th of 2020, ULSCI severed all diplomatic ties with AEF, and to this day they remain severed.
== Conflict with the Imperial Alliance==
Nearing the end of the long reformation period, the ULSCI and 1-47 began discussions about how to approach a potential conflict with the Imperial Alliance, a faction notorious for extreme controversy and a terrible reputation formed from the remnants of the Technology Engineering Coalition. Given that the Federation and the Imperial Alliance were some of the only active meta factions left, the Federation believed war was inevitable with them.
On April 14th, 2021, IA attacked 1-47 during a routine patrol on FGC, a vanilla sandbox server. The Federation officially declared war on IA at 10:31PM EST. 
==== Sovinian Civil War====
In the midst of the first battle, Sergei, the former leader of NRK, contacted Phil to request that 1-47 stop shooting at him. When asked, Sergei said that he was fighting alongside 1-47 despite his dislike for them. After further investigation, it was discovered that SOVIN had fallen into civil war, with the Imperial Alliance siding with the "West" side, and Sergei siding with the "East" side. The ULSCI recognized East SOVIN as the official government the same day, just 2 hours after war broke out. 
== The Federation Splits ==
On the morning of April 17, 2021, Phil, Swat07 and a fellow 1-47 member were quarantined without explanation by RSMF leader JonahSoldier. After some time later, Jonah posted an announcement accusing ULSCI leadership of incompetence, overstepping boundaries, poor planning and mismanagement. Following the controversy, 1-47 seceded from the Federation in a majority vote that was personally requested to be called early by Swat07, resulting in a 7-0 vote. Swat then posted a series of clauses describing the status of ULSCI - 1-47 relations after the vote (see image). Following the brief collapse of the Federation, the ULSCI was weakened in manpower. The group now planned to lay low, and has withdrawn from the conflict with IA. The traditional military junta was also restored as the leadership saw no use for the previous democratic system.
===Brief 1-47 - ULSCI War===
Following the split, ULSCI released a series of cryptic videos aimed at 1-47. These have been the only communication between the two factions to date. 
On April 22nd, ULSCI and 1-47 forces openly and directly engaged each other on FGC, ULSCI formally declared war on 1-47 after a second battle occurred two days later. 
Accusations of ULSCI changing ideologies were issued by 1-47, due to the use of communist-related music in one of the videos issued to 1-47. ULSCI leadership denied the ideological change, but 1-47 refused the explanation and followed with a large volume of anti-communist rhetoric aimed at ULSCI.
ULSCI attacked the Anti-Cringe Association (ACA), a faction that supposedly has relations with 1-47, multiple times during the last week of April 2021. During these engagements, there was evidence of an ACA member on Super Garry's Mod Server named Harmless using aimbot against ULSCI forces. After reporting this to Xenoscout, the leader of ACA, he stated that Harmless will be punished. The punishment has been administered as of 3:00 AM EST, 5/3/2021, demoting Harmless to the lowest rank.
==World War 4==
During this period of tension, multiple requests were made by GMAP to cease raids against ACA, with these requests being ignored or denied. After NRK Leader Sergei discovered Catgopher98's reddit through a Discord connection, he eventually found his other social media and other personal information such as his college and the state he resides in. Sergei entered his college's discord and spammed offensive remarks. This led to an exponential growth of tension, with KAI Leader Ally For Hire deciding to declare war on all IA and IA aligned groups, including the ULSCI, on May 5th, 2021. Following the declaration of war, the ULSCI revealed its allegiance to the Orzel Alliance. The ULSCI's involvement in the war has been substantial in the non-ACF realm. Most of its participation has been credited toward the campaign against the Anti-Cringe Association. Although the ULSCI has little ACF weaponry, they are credited with 1 assist kill against a Thumper copy made by GC. The ULSCI has also experienced a surge in tank development, which came to a grinding halt in late May when Phil suddenly bailed out of the situation, citing fears of external attacks from GMAP (IE Swatting, Doxxing, ETC).
==DakTank==
Due to the mass migration of the meta to DakTank, Swat07 has considered migrating as well. Phil has also returned to the scene due to renewed interest.
