History
Unix wasn't born an aristocrat but through acquired wealth, influence, fear and some sheer force of will, she made her family into a quasi-royalty with its own 'throne'. From the 1970's until the late 1980's, the Unix Family was a powerful faction and one of the most prestigious factions but as Unix's daughters grew more powerful and more spoiled, the family began to selfdestruct and tear itself apart by power struggles which would become the Unix Wars of the late 1980's to the mid-1990's. The Unix Family was further undermined by Windows NT-tan and her forces who conquered the server OS market, where the Unices were once dominant.
In the aftermath of the Unix Wars, the Unices could barely trust each other at all, and the era was still filled with violence, given that a lot of their war-torn and effectively abandoned former territories were being usurped by NT-san's forces. And much to their chagrin, a lot of these territories did not put uprise against the invaders, but rather welcomed their new Windows masters.
By that time, the Linux Union was around but was only a fledgeling faction and did not have a lot of power. It wasn't until recent years that the Linux Union has grown in strength and power, rivaling the remains of the Unix Family. After the Unix Wars, Unix was a changed person and befriended Linux-tan and the two of them merged their factions into the Linux/Unix Consortium. But despite Unix and Linux-tan being friends, accompanied by Minix-tan who serves as an excellent mediator, the alliance is shaky at best due to the severe conflict in ideology, with the other Unices and Linuces in the faction clashing with each other or even within their groups.
