The first Hydra base was constructed on the east of the map at x:4550, z:-2300. The base consisted of an open-air stone castle with 10-20 block high walls and two wet docks. At the time, this was near the world border, which was later expanded. | The first Hydra base was constructed on the east of the map at x:4550, z:-2300.

Hydra thrived here only briefly, losing most of their resources to dagersh. After vain attempts to report this player for harassment, Hydra had abandoned its claims to the castle by September 2015, never completing it. This would be known as Fortress I. | ||
As a result of this discouragement, Hydra would break into two groups to establish firmer positions on the PirateCraft server. The main group, consisting of macro26, trooper306, and Spock1101, moved north to the nearest desert at x:4600, z:-2800 and constructed the infamous pair of Hangers. The main Hanger sported 7 block thick walls and two enclosed wet docks, and served as Hydra’s main base of operations. Together these would be known as Fortress II. Shortly after their construction, early Hydra would be joined by Lamborewski, Sir_Ninja_Knight, and ObamasRightNut. All three recruits would go on to be banned in November 2015.[[File:Old hangers.PNG|right|middle|thumb|Hydra Hangers (Fortress II), complete construction: last appearance in Hydra recruitment video (c. 2016)]]Fortress II served early Hydra in defense against several months of onslaught from dagersh and his conspirators. In one of Hydra’s most famous achievements, dagersh would go on to be killed in a siege on November 2nd, 2015. His armor and sword, ‘his mighty donger’, are buried to this day deep below the Statue of Tyranny on Hydra island. | As a result of this discouragement, Hydra would break into two groups to establish firmer positions on the PirateCraft server.
