Green Skittles Empire

The Green Skittle Empire, or GSE, is Screech9791's main backup plan when he doesn't like the direction which Roblox Bloxxers United is going in. It always dies after about a week due to not having anywhere to raid and a lack of active members, and yet it somehow finds ways to revive itself about every month or two.

2019
In August of 2021, Screech9791 decided that he should have a backup group in case RBU ever dies (foreshadowing). The first attempt took place in September from October of the same year, under the name "Lorax Armed Forces", which unfortunately got absolutely nowhere due to issues with the group holder, gm_construct, who cared even less about the group he owned than present day EclipseMaster10. Later, in November, after a short discussion with Gamepark999, Screech got the idea to revive an old Off Topic raiding group he was in called Green Skittles, under the name "The Green Skittle Empire". On the 10th, EclipseMaster10 created the group as the holder, and things were great, with recruitment and therefore activity skyrocketing on November 14. There were 3 notable raids the group did.


 * 1) Raid on Plateworks: GSE forces tried pwning the vanderalls before it was cool. GSE rallied the 8 people needed to raid, and despite 15 minutes of telling the defenders that GSE was going to raid, and staying there for 15 more minutes, the cowardly TrajanVanderall refused to bring any defenders because GSE was a "meme group". Most of the GSE raiders had to leave anyways.
 * 2) Raid on Stronghold Arduous: A result of what happens when you have to bring more than a few extra raiders from outside of the group, without making sure they actually have combat experience. Also, a massively defender sided fort with a 1:1.5 ratio is probably not the best place to raid with randoms.
 * 3) Raid on Indigo II: This never happened despite two attempts at rescheduling it and several preparations (map layout gathering, control scheme decal guide uploading, etc) because of IRL bullshit happening at the exact times where GSE had enough active members online to raid. Those disruptions are why GSE died after only 4 weeks.

2020
Around January 15, Screech decided that maybe the first era's disappointing end was merely bad luck and decided to revive the group hoping to start again while trying to not have a rigid, disruption-prone event schedule.

This was the era of boredom, meatgrinders, and pointless forever wars during the first half, and a small conquest in the very late part of the year. The only actually notable stuff documented about this was the very first (successful) raid on an actual group at LSE's Canal Rush (and the first raid to actually happen there), a few wars on RBU that didn't get anywhere, and the first recorded use of a Lag Bomb in modern history. Also, the GSE space program was started, with repainted Firejacket-class gunships and Scrapper-class junker patrol boats. Oh, and the X - Empire [sic] got pwned.

It was also during this year that they allied with the Clone Boys, lead by Clome_Trooper, after Screech9791 encountered their leader in a bar in the Isirah star system.

2021
When Screech9791 mutinied against RBU after losing faith in the group due to many failed raids on TRA and other proper warclans, with the last straw being cai5 derailing his raids to turn otherwise probable victories into crushing defeats, Screech9791 revived GSE to fight against RBU. Then, GSE, with the help of United Bloxxer Federation volunteers (namely Askoverse) defeated RBU in the GSE - RBU War, while conquering the Blue Frost Clan to form the Viridian Hegemony. Later on, chaos_incorporated would join and create the fort called "Taihan Factory" for GSE. This never got used more than once because it was boring and GSE died shortly after it was released due to the usual causes that the previous 15 attempts by Screech at running a group suffered, also known as member inactivity.

2022
Currently, nothing interesting has happened regarding GSE in 2022. It is unknown how many more times the cycle will continue.

Uniform
Unlike RBU and many "mainstream" war clans, the uniform policy was taken as law and not as a suggestion since Screech9791 gave a damn about actually identifying his own men in the battlefield. The standard GSE uniform for years was an all green avatar with a white S t-shirt, using invisible pants if available and slight body color alterations on the legs otherwise. In late 2020, this was changed a bit to allow wearing black limbs if the member was sufficiently l33t and had a cool black and green hat.

Vehicles
Over the course of GSE history, the empire has used various vehicles to slay their foes. Listed in approximate order of development.

A common theme with their spacecraft (not including any repaints) is building ships out of asteroids and crystals, to blend in with asteroid belts.

Space

 * Pebble-class Corvette: A small, export-grade scout ship made from a hollowed out crystal asteroid with three small iridium shard cannons and little armor.
 * Scrapper-class Frigate: A fast and maneuverable junker ship built around the common 'Avenger' hull found on civilian markets. Equipped with a radar dish, police sirens, and 4 small iridium shard cannons.
 * Firejacket-class Gunship: A repainted design from some unknown yellow spacer civilization. Comes with two small coilguns and one medium coilgun, and has maneuvering thrusters.
 * Flint-class Corvette: A retrofitted Hydora-class Corvette. Its heavy mortars were replaced with iridium spike cannons, and it was the only GSE ship design to have a turret, although the turret sucked.
 * Skittle Boxfighter: A tiny box of emerald ore being used as an interceptor. It had four 15mm crystal shard guns, and was used as a disposable, cheap fighter to escort GSE ships which lacked point defense capabilities. Not to be confused with the Skittle Box-class Boarding Pod, which was larger, less box-shaped, and was designed to ram into enemy ships to release troops into hull breaches.

Land:

 * Scout Cars: Small two-seater jeeps used at Fort Fang. Fast but unarmed, reliant on the passenger's weapon to fight enemies.

Notable Members

 * Screech9791: Commander and main developer.
 * EclipseMaster10: Group holder during the first era. Was responsible for one inactive member angrily leaving because "the owner was inactive" despite it being obvious that Eclipse wasn't actually the one running the group.
 * dodecadeltahedron: One of the original era's members, who participated in the group during 2019 and 2020, before suddenly leaving without telling anyone in mid 2020. Was slightly more skilled than EclipseMaster10 at fighting, but made up for it with helping recruit a lot of members.
 * skittlesman31: One of Screech's alts, according to XE and some other irrelevant cereal box clan.
 * oscari67: The most skilled gunfighter in GSE history, even compared to Screech9791. Fought hard in the timewaster wars of 2020, before burning out in 2021. Met when Screech was leading a RBU/OCE joint raid on RIC HQ in January 2020.
 * chaos_incorporated: Made taishit factory. Was a mistake to recruit.
 * fzst: Screech's second in command during 2021. A great fighter but had a life IRL which made him unable to attend every event hosted after the GSE-RBU war.

Trivia

 * The group's acronym was originally supposed to be TGSE, but it was scrapped because it wasn't as cool, and there's still an overabundance of groups with names starting with "The".
 * Has been called the "skittles gang" by the X - Empire during 2020.
 * Despite obvious evidence to the contrary, one of their original members, Skittlesman31, has been mistaken for one of Screech's alts at least twice.
 * Their discord server has had at least 4 airlock purges.
 * Their ship prefix is "GSN", and they have had 10 total named ships so far.
 * The group started as the second revival of Green Skittles, the first revival was named "Green Skittles Reborn", which was disbanded when the regular Green Skittle group was revived by the original founder, billybear2308. The two high ranks in Green Skittles Reborn (besides 0cra_tr0per) were Heckfurnious and SystemFellAsleep.
 * Used to have weekly reports in 2019, that went over member count changes, development status, events, and various thoughts Screech decided to share.
 * The standard GSE rally method was to start rallying 30 minutes before deploying, with roles being assigned, plans made & described, and uniform checks done during this time.
 * Has been in 5 wars (First and second timewaster wars, invasion of XE, RBU civil war, and the GSE-RBU disinfection campaign).
