Loyalty, Honor, Strength. The principles of the Maroon Defense Coalition (MDC). The face of the Medium and powerful Maroon Team alliance. After having passed several tests of strength, including the Great War and a rebel insurrection, MDC, formerly known as TAGA, is an extremely proud and loyal alliance always seeking out new ways to improve and protect our members.

The End of Team Allied Guardians Alliance

MAG

As a potential merger was launched by TAGA towards the other large maroon alliance, ONOS, the attitude of the alliance was riding high. Surely, a mask could follow up on the achievement if the merger all would go well. ONOS was an imperial alliance, for sure, but it was assumed that there could be a stable blend of TAGA's elements with ONOS's. This proved to be false, however; ONOS members did not particularly mesh with TAGA's members, and a plot by King Arthur II to overcome Tulak Hord's influence in the newly formed Maroon Allied Guardians, the merger alliance name, did not bode well with many ex-TAGAites. A fair sized group, roughly 20 members, believed much of this to be because of the merger.

The USN and MDC Part Ways

Under the guidance of several ex-loyal members, about 20 separatists believed TAGA to be going the wrong direction. Under their own beliefs, to bring back the old spirit of TAGA that had died down, they moved to peaceful secession with MAG, which had already lost ONOS due to tensions. Announcing their plan on the MAG boards, the separatist faction departed MAG, forming the totally-democratic United Sovereign Nations. MAG was now down to the old TAGAites minus the USN secessionists, though still with a great member advantage over the 40-member USN. Revolutionizing, it instilled a democratic government and a new name, the Maroon Defense Coalition. Fortunately, as all these changes went down, no conflict occurred between the USN and the MDC. They remain diplomatically neutral to each other to this day.

The MDC comes out of its Shell

After weeks of organizing and building without recognition, the MDC officially announced it was coming into the world on November 4, 2006. It came with 120 members and an entirely new leadership. The Maroon team was finally stable again and a new world order began.
