Hydra (Original team)

Hydra
Hydra was a faction from the very early days of purity vanilla, between Early June and September of 2019, which are now often joked about by the older players of the servers, with signs being left at raided bases claiming it was hydra.

The beginning of Hydra
Not much is known of the original Hydra clan other than the fact that they were all Italian and often referred to as the Italian Mafia. Though no actual information is known of the beginnings of the clan, it is believed that user, named  Hydra_Fr4nKy_ (also referred to as 'Franky Salami' by fellow members), founded the clan back in July 04 2019 (maybe even earlier).

This meant that they weren't very well-liked in the community and were therefore often bullied and antagonized by other players.

Any information on base location, base names or the likes remains unknown for the time being. Their clan size is estimated to have been anywhere around 8-12 members and they were thought to be reasonably wealthy relative to the period of time in which they 'played.

A short-lived stay
It was a quick rise to the top of Purity for the Hydra clan, but just as quick as they rose, they fell and only 2 months after joining (back in Septemper 2019), they seemed to fade away slowly and became almost entierely inactive. To this day, however, it is still possible to see them join randomly to spout Italian profanities and nonsensical English sentences such as:  ​​​​​​
