It is the 4th largest faction in Brazil and is made up mostly of poorly prepared teenagers, pre-teens and young adults. One of the main reasons would be the lack of monthly fees.

The faction was founded on January 1, 2016, in the community of Conjunto Palmeiras.

Faction power is decentralized, so there is no overall faction leader. Currently, it is known for burning buses, massacres and homicides in the state, the most notable being the Massacre of Cajazeiras.
