Editing Mols'Desias

{{Era|Human|UNSC|HCW|Post}}

'''Mols'Desias''' was a mining union on the [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Aleria]].<ref name="Nightfall">'''[[Halo: Nightfall]]''', ''[[Halo: Nightfall: ONI: Trade Barriers|ONI: Trade Barriers]]''</ref><ref group="note">''Halo: Nightfall'' states that the mining union was founded in 2349. However, human colonization outside the Sol system did not begin until 2362, a full 13 years later. Given this, Aleria could not have existed any earlier than 2362 when the ''Odyssey'' was launched. Therefore it must be assumed that the year of the union's founding is an error.</ref>

The Mols'Desias mining union was founded by [[Esil Boesis]], a mineral miner who wished to use the union to ensure stability and bargaining power for its members. Over a dozen of Aleria's fragmented private mining groups became unified by Boesis, who hoped to keep long-term security for the profession.<ref name="Nightfall"/><ref name="canonfodder">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-second-to-none '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Second to None'']</ref> With the aid of the mining union, Aleria was able to establish itself as a powerhouse in the [[Unified Earth Government]]'s colonial trade. The union provided raw materials mined from the planet in exchange for food, electronics, and spacecraft.<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/locations/aleria '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Aleria'']</ref> Years later, Boesis' grandson [[Tarek Boesis]] headed the union. He was later murdered by smugglers of the [[Blackdust]] [[courier guild]]. Blackdust reasoned that the murder was justified, as they believed that Mols'Desias monopolized the job market and forced workers to work unreasonable hours, as the union allegedly took advantage of Aleria's failing economy and limited job market.<ref name="Nightfall"/><ref name="canonfodder"/>

At some point in [[2554]], the mining union collapsed, forcing many colonists into substantial debt and unemployment. The union's collapse, as well as [[Devil's Kiss|a hundred-year long drought]], caused many colonists including [[Haisal Wari]] and [[Arris Le]] to become involved in smuggling with various Alerian courier guilds.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/arris '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Arris Le'']</ref><ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/haisal '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Haisal Wari'']</ref>
