The Flotilla

Formation
The Flotilla never really formed, at one stage a group of people realised that they just belonged together with their boats. Over time they were joined by more and more people, until they had a small fleet of ships. Coming to a decision, they agreed that they would become independent of the Kingdoms.

Expansion
As they acquired more and more people, they gained more and more ships. Once they reached a certain point, they suddenly found themselves in a tight spot. So far they had relied on trading for their goods and repairs, and it was starting to take a toll on both the inhabitants and boats. Coming closer to a sudden end, drastic measures were about to take place. Their saving grace was an abandoned Schnee company freighter that had fallen under an attack by the White Fang. Claiming it as their own, they formed a hugh farm across it. Now with both a constant supply of meat from fishing and vegitables from the farm, they flourished. They expanded dramatically, building their skills and training their people. Suddenly they became a moving collection of workers that had an in depth knowledge of ships and their workings.

Flourishing
With a stable econemy being built, they focused purely on their society. Team work and trust were vital to them, and the younger generations were taught valuable lessons to keep the Flotilla on the water. Being completely self sufficient, many traded their skills with passing vessels for parts money or even knowledge. They were gaining respect as a hub for any ship passing through. They had a fantastic foundation for their people.

Reality
The Flotilla was attacked. No one knew who did it, nor could they find out. With no defence force of any kind, they took serious damage and lose many lives. They repealled the attackers, having more than enough weapons because of the fishing boats. The leadership realised without any form of military of militia, they would be very vulnerable to further attack. They went to Vale, seeking support. Making a deal, they gained the expertise they very much needed. Training people as fighters, for defence work, part of the condition was that all who were trained had a chance to seek employment or further training within Vale. Most did not leave, having spent much of their life on one of the boats. However, the link to Beacon sometimes caught the attention of the younger members. With a path to the rest of the world, some took this opportunity to see the world. The Flotilla was once more a safe haven. It was changed, but life carried on as they wanted.

General populace
All are welcome on these boats, with everyone getting along with their neighbours. Faunus and human alike live side by side without any problems. Once the leadership was formed, all problems were sorted within a day of occuring. The rules were simply, get along, or be seperated. And everyone was happy with this. Once people found their spot, very few problems arose. To those that lived here, it was a paradise on water.
