	In late October [[3075]], Cooperative leader Marion Whillshire murdered the pirate leader [[Paula Trevaline|Lady Death Trevaline]] during a dispute. Due to the ''Consort Law'' practiced by Trevaline's pirate band, [[Death's Consorts]], Whillshire became the leader of the murderous Pirate band Trevaline had led. This prompted the second in command of the Death's Consorts, [[Gary Tiqualme]], to challenge Whillshire to a duel in which Tiqualme subsequently killed him.  Tiqualme took full command of the Consorts and they moved to consolidate their control of Malagrotta.  During the Consorts' attacks as they took control Kirk DeYoung, the Malagrotta CrMM commander, was killed.  Despite DeYoung's death, three quarters of the Militia escaped under command of General [[Garman Doucette]] and managed to flee to [[Filtvelt]].<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 47, "House Davion" - Filtltvelt Citizen’s Militia - Defection three quarters of the Malagrotta March Militia.</ref>		In late October [[3075]], Cooperative leader Marion Whillshire murdered the pirate leader [[Paula Trevaline|Lady Death Trevaline]] during a dispute.

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. While the protests from the Princess Regent and her command staff were sharp, the Declaration of Independence didn't prompt a military response from the Federated Suns.<ref name="JHS3076p26">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 26, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp51">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 51, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> Despite the best efforts of its militia, for the next three years the Cooperative saw an increase in pirate activity within its borders. The Cooperative began to issue Letters of Marque to any pirate band willing to enter service under the Cooperative in an attempt to reduce the level of pirate activity within the Cooperative.<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 41, "Garman Doucett" - Former XO of the Malagrotta Cooperative notes Letters of Marques being issued to Death's Consorts.</ref> ===Pirate Controlled Nation=== In late October [[3075]], Cooperative leader Marion Whillshire murdered the pirate leader [[Paula Trevaline|Lady Death Trevaline]] during a dispute.
