Hydra is a group focused on PvP[2], founded by Redroga, Guacamold and iSudo in mid July 2020. The name choice was a coincidence and completely unrelated to the similarly named HydraBases by iSlime. The main goal of the group was to become the one group that is "in everything" (hence the name choice[3]). After falling to internal drama after a few months of activity, former members Camatar, Redroga and Frank157 brought it back in January 2021, and it lasted all the way until August.
History
Old Hydra
In its first lifespan, Hydra was very active at spawn with the participation of Redroga, CrypticLoki, Warvan, VezYn4ik, Frank157, 3pound and occasionally iSudo. Among their first enemies were Aires2, Neroga and Nicketic.
Hydra began declining when GrandOlive, a member of the Crusaders, decided to inside Hydra for unknown reasons. Opticep (leader of the Crusaders) eventually tipped iSudo off on the subject and this sparked a fight between the two groups. GCC ended up into the mess when their leader, LinusTouchTips, tried to aid Crusaders in insiding Hydra. Various clashes happened with the two groups[4], which Hydra ended up winning on the field because, unlike their opponents, their main focus was PvP and could therefore field an impressive amount of fighters.
The group pretty much died when Opticep managed to convince 1stHoudini to dox iSudo; he went rogue, gave everyone admin on discord and quit the server, effectively killing the group.
New Hydra
Camatar, Redroga and Frank157 breathed new life in the group in early 2021. Through January and February, Hydra fought repeatedly against Blackfyre (a group Camatar, 3pound and Redroga were all former members of). Most of the clashes were won by Hydra, once again due to a significant difference in the number of PvPers both could field: on Blackfyre's side, it mostly was just Warvan, _Rydal and GamingDerp. Hydra's victory was secured when Blackfyre eventually disbanded due to infighting.
Hydra later merged with Synister, a group mainly focused on other anarchy servers whose leader, TwinOus, had often helped Hydra expand into other servers. Together with him, he brought a number of skilled PvPers. Together they fought Eclips, a 0b0t group, nuking their discord and forcing their leaders to quit. The same thing soon happened to Team GcGubobo.
On the 26th of February, Camatar was tokenlogged by running an old Aurora client version; the discord was however spared from being nuked due to his swift intervention.
In late June, a group of former Hydra members split off and created a group named Xenon, led by xXFireside, who was kicked out after a 2-1 vote between Redroga, Camatar, and TwinOus.
The group died in August 2021, when 1stHoudini turned against Camatar, doxing him and sending a bomb threat to his school in his name, prompting him to quit.
