1-47 Union

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. The group has undergone numerous rebrands in the past, including the late Unified Defense Force and Royal Eskeylian Military.
==History==
===The Revival===
On January 20, 2021, multiple previous members of 1-47/UDF decided to revive the original 1-47 Combine out of nostalgia. 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 the United Legion, 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 the community. 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.
===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 the Union.
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.
