# The Frontiersmen

The Frontiersmen were a group of pirate hailing from most likely the shoal, although this cannot be confirmed.

While these are confused with what researchers call the 'new frontiersmen', they are likely not the same group. However this article will cover both for simplicty sake.

The new Frontiersmen are a mysterious terroist/pirate group that usually reside in the frontier. It is unknown where they come from, and their only known intention is 'to seek revenge against the Colonial Minutemen.' However, those in the new Frontiersmen's goals differ wildly, especially among lower ranking members.

Led by the extremely ambitious but mysterious Captain Frontiersmen, the Frontiersmen made a name for themselves early on by taking on massive amounts of bounty hunters, and after aquiring the resources from said bounty hunters, attacked other pirates while using fear tactics to force the crews to join the fleet, usually via killing captains in front of their crew.

In 387 they attempt to seize various colonies that were abandoned by the URFZ which would later become the Colonial Minutemen and are generally successful. However, due to many of the Frontiersmen not being used to traditional warfare, intense resistance, and insanely good luck on the Colonial Militia's side (Finding and looting the UNSV Lichtenstein), the fleet was destroyed in the year 400 in the Battle of X22-SSR, the final battle of the Frontiersmen war.

The new Frontiersmen are as mysterious, if not more than the original Frontiersmen. While normally a pirate group using Frontiersmen icongraphy would be noticed, the new Frontiersmen seemingly came out of nowhere after a terrorist attack put them in the public's eye.

I'm too tired to finish transcribing this


## Structure


## Ideology


## Culture


## Relations
**Frontiermen:**

**New Frontiermen:**
Aggresive towards all who have supported the CMM, whether it be now or in the past. This usually means they are aggresive with nearly everyone, if not everyone.

## History
**Frontiermen:**
It is unknown when the Frontiersmen appeared, but their first known sighting is by a PGF vessel report in 370 noting that they 'appear unusally well organized for pirates' and that they had 'strangely standardized uniforms unqiue from all other pirate groups thus far'

...

After their defeat, the reminiants still lurked around for about 10-20 years, but as independent pirate instead. Some rebranded, while others kept the frontiersmen name. The last known sighting of the old frontiersmen remminants was in 424 allegedly, they were destroyed by Xenofauna, ironically the CMM's new enemy.


**New Frontiermen:**
Following a terrorist attack on Luna-Town in 498, the leader, a woman who looks strikingly familar to the young girl seen in many photgraphs of Captain Frontiersmen took responsibilty, proclaiming that "The Frontiersmen are back to destroy the CMM!" Despite this claim, there is little evidence linking the historical Frontiersmen and this New Frontiersmen, and the few things linking them together are their uniforms and weaponry.

The CMM has dispatched almost every patrol vessel to search for the group, however, they appear to operate almost entirely outside of civilized sectors in the frontier, making them difficult to take down.
