History: In a secret project carried out 200 years before the launching of the 5 sleeper ships, the last remaining members of the Mob, a mere 200 men and women, were loaded onto the prototype sleeper ship Roma, and sent to live in isolation in a remote sector of the Sirius system. They were a part of a secret project carried out by few high-ranking members of the Italian government. It was hoped that Roma would become like Australia had, centuries before, unfortunately, a single, missed mob member, Giovanni Sceechi, in an act of revenge for his missing family, killed the government officials but dying in the process. All knowledge of the Roma was lost.
For nine centuries eight decades and four years, the Mafiosi lived on a hostile planet they named Sicily, after the island they had lived on, on Earth. Theirs was a rough existence; they carved out the life they could, slowly pushing science forward, but limited by their lack of unity and purpose. Until finally, a new leader came to power. Don Chupa was a very young man, barely 20, but he brought a new age of progress. He bound the people together, and they began to build Ships. 3 years after the FPS Brando was commissioned, a jumphole was discovered leading to Omega 5. The FPS encountered the faction known as the Corsairs, and an alliance was struck. Remembering their roots as the Mob, the Mafiosi are now are a feared group, specializing in lightning swift attacks on convoys and bases, striking into the heart of the Magellan and Dublin systems, and raiding Ronnenburg Base in Omega 5. Although their navy is small, (a single Battleship, 10 Very Heavy fighters 20 Heavy fighters, and 40 Light fighters) Mafiosi pilots are highly dangerous opponents, fiercely loyal allies, but not above being bought for a price. Strange as it seems, they are also rather charismatic, never attacking private merchants, only the corporations.
