On the Revival of the Brotherhood of Malice
By Apatosaurus
The Brotherhood of Malice was originally founded by Reventus Koth and Venico in 2012. It had become a fairly notable raider organization, engaging in several significant operations such as the occupations of Osiris and St Abbaddon. In the former case, then-Delegate of Osiris Venico went rogue, purging several defenders (such as Wopruthien and Campania on questionable claims of being subversives), as well as prominent members of a group known for organizing their own coup d’etats in several regions, the Empire (also questionably placed under the umbrella of “defender subversives”); the occupation established by the Brotherhood of Malice then became the original version of the Osiris Fraternal Order.
The Brotherhood of Malice’s activity declined after their occupation of St Abbaddon, and was practically dead by 2017. However, following the occupation of A Liberal Haven this past January, where invaders attempted to grief the region before it was liberated by a major defender force, the Brotherhood of Malice was revived by its founders. Old members of the Brotherhood of Malice who had long since retired from the game, such as Zeorus, returned to join the region. Many current raiders have also joined the Brotherhood of Malice.
Since the revival, the Brotherhood of Malice has been extremely active in a raider faction that had fallen on hard times in 2021. Through the use of a spy placed in The Mystical Council, Diviciacus, The Mystical Council was occupied and destroyed permanently in the largest occupation in history, despite nearly ten liberation attempts. Their griefing operation was accomplished with the aid of filling the Security Council queue with spam proposals, Liberate Ukraine and Condemn Suspicious, in order to delay the much-needed liberation of The Mystical Council from reaching vote.
Significantly, the return of the Brotherhood of Malice has also brought about the use of Suspicious as a shared jump point between raiders, rather than the previous use of individual regional jump points. This new “Raider Unity” as it has been called represents a renewed threat to regional sovereignty across NationStates. |
