===Formation & Survival===
The worlds which formed the Malagrotta Cooperative originally formed the bulk of the Federated Suns' Kearny Combat Region. Like other parts of the Periphery border of the FedSuns, the Kearny Combat Region had been neglected as a result of the [[FedCom Civil War]]. This neglect had worsened shortly after the [[Jihad]] broke out and [[New Avalon]] found itself under siege by the [[Word of Blake]]; many parts of the Outback region of the FedSuns had even fewer resources to fight pirate and Taurian raids as a result.  In [[3072]] the Kearny Combat Region's military was being stretched to cover the needs of other Combat Regions. Local officials within the Combat Region and the Combat Region's commanding officer, [[Major General]] [[Kirk DeYoung]], began to consider a motion to duplicate the solution adopted by the newly formed [[Filtvelt Coalition]], a neighbor of the Kearny Combat Region. It was widely speculated that by separating from the Federated Suns it would be easier for the region to raise troops to defend itself from pirates.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3072'' p. 94, "Malagrotta Next?"  - Federated Suns News Service article of reports of Kearny Combat Region becoming next breakaway state.</ref>

On the 19th of March [[3073]], the Kearny Combat Region became the Malagrotta Cooperative with its Malagrotta Declaration of Independence.  The document cited that FedSun's failure in defending the region and declared itself an independent nation.
