History

Founding -

Their first fortification, Fort Independence, is based in the South West Ocean of PirateCraft, on the Southern Continent.

In the beginning of 2014, NickyB_123 and Fireglazer founded the "Thirteen Colonies" and built a small fort later to be named "Ft. Independence" For years to follow, the small crew with big aspirations began to work in peace. That would all change.

(More history to come)

Internal Conflict -

This began when two deckhands, JoeBlub and ProtoNox, were let into the crew, these two players were exceptionally good at PVP, but at the same time stubborn and uncooperative. Under the consecutive decision of Wykkyd_14, build1115, and NickyB_123, it was decided that JoeBlub would be removed from the crew. The plan was carried out by build1115, who was told not to mention it, but tell JoeBlub to ask Nicky for permission back in. Outraged, JoeBlub came to build1115's base, sieged, and killed him (Taking off with only inventory loot). Turmoil sprang up as Proto, Joe, and RoseEditz banned together to defy the leaders of the crew (SilverStone47, Wykkyd_14, build1115, and NickyB_123) Shortly after, SilverStone47 left 13C, and ran off to a new port he was working on. He lived in isolation, as he still does. Not to be disturbed by any war of any kind. This marked the end of a prosperous time for the 13C. Later that day, build1115 left, leaving inactive Nicky (who was on vacation for a week) and Wykkyd_14 to handle the rogues (Later, it merged with the British Empire)

Merging with BE - Now the only active members were Nicky and about two others. Isolated from allies, it was. Decided that the 13co could unite with the BE and still rule under its own name. (Whole merging process was so that everyone was in the same /crew chat) After the crew update in June of 2016, they rejoined their crew, now with the tag of "13C" Entering the summer of 2016 with big plans and a bright future, the Thirteen Colonies are again on their path to expansion and prosperity.

Current Plans

• 13C is its own crew, the true American crew of the server.

Multiple settlements are under construction and a navy is soon to be built. Currently at war with the so called "United States Empire" (really, a spurious crew)

• Work on player housing, as well as the capitals for each state, has begun.
• Negotiations for territory boundaries, as well as mapping them, are underway. MANIFEST DESTINY

Relationships

The Thirteen Colonies are apart of 'The Allied' & are a trusted, valued member of it.

A special relationship between the Iborian Empire & the Thirteen Colonies exists after a rough first encounter. Tensions originally occurred between the two crews, specifically the neighboring founders (NickyB_123 and fireglazer) and Palmerageddon. After a few early hostile encounters between the two nations, a lasting alliance was eventually formed.
