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.

	Hydra briefly abandoned the server in mid-2018, and did not contribute time to the server beyond restocking and re-renting the Eternal Shop of Hydra, located at shop3 in the server market. Several small raids were carried out over the course of 2019 that were not recorded for Youtube, where all of Hydra’s videos were unlisted temporarily. This was to fully ensure that the server’s community would forget the Eternal Empire of Hydra and forget the tactics it had previously developed.

In Hydra’s only moment of weakness, some anticipated drama would occur between the aforementioned players resulting in Nahadoth and Mystictitan glitching into the Hydra box. This was done using knowledge illegally gained by downloading a schematic into singleplayer. After a series of rapid and unexpected events, and despite his best efforts to administer punishment, The_Network would go on to be banned from PirateCraft under questionable circumstances as a scapegoat for others’ crimes. Once again disgusted at the server’s community, Hydra would briefly abandon their position and vow to return again in full power never yet seen in PirateCraft history.

	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.

	Initially a rather peaceful crew, the members of Hydra were quickly turned sour due to relentless attacks from a group of players led by dagersh (also known as the cup pisser). 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.

This request was accepted, and Hydra began its second empire.

	Hydra gained several famous members in early to mid-2016, including, in order: P1ndr0p, R1ck_Sanchez, and Chiroptera419. The summer of 2016 primarily involved the construction of the Hydra box, at x:2760, z:-4330. The original Hydra box was constructed as a floating 51x51x51 cube with 13 block thick walls (later expanded to 16+ blocks thick), with no entrances or exits other than the sliding bay doors on its bottom face (which were later sealed). A giant red Hydra symbol in Redstone block adorned the top surface, and is a well-known monolith on the server live map. To this day, the Hydra box remains as the most impregnable above-ground structure in the PirateCraft overworld. It would serve for several years as the Eternal Empire’s main base of operations.
