Mols'Desias

Mols'Desias was a mining union on the human Outer Colony of Aleria.

History
The Mols'Desias mining union was founded by Esil Boesis, a mineral miner that wished to use the union to ensure stability and bargaining power for its members. Over a dozen of Aleria's fragmented private mining groups became unified by Boesis, who hoped to keep long-term security for the profession. With the aid of the mining union, Aleria was able to establish itself as a powerhouse in the Unified Earth Government's colonial trade. The union provided raw materials mined from the planet in exchange for food, electronics, and spacecraft. Years later, Boesis' grandson Tarek Boesis headed the union. He was later murdered by smugglers of the Blackdust courier guild. Blackdust reasoned that the murder was justified, as they believed that Mols'Desias monopolized the job market and forced workers to to work unreasonable hours, as the union allegedly took advantage of Aleria's failing economy and limited job market.

At some point in 2554, the mining union collapsed, forcing many colonists into substantial debt and unemployment. The union's collapse, as well as a hundred-year long drought, caused many colonists including Haisal Wari and Arris Le to become involved in smuggling with various Alerian courier guilds.
