The alliance was originally formed from the South Ridge Family. Originally, “South Ridge 13” and “SR13” were SRF tags that later became the name of the cartel commission being particularly run under Flores and CJNG. The gangs in SR13 all had one thing in common; Tattaglia was an opponent. The mafia families in general were usually enemies when it came to the cartels, however Tattaglia has always been the most disliked and as well as having the most personal beef against them. Over the years, the alliance has had new gangs joining from time to time. A street gang  by the name of Sureños was formed originally under SRF which was active in Potluck Houses. But just because this was the South Ridge alliance run by cartels, didn’t mean only cartels were apart of it. Mafias were sometimes involved as well. After Blake Lucero becomes godfather of The Lucero Family, and Kyle Lucero forms the Luchiero Clan, they become close allies with Flores, CJNG, and Uptown Riders. There was also a Lucero branch known as the “Soprano Family” which worked under Blake Lucero and was a close ally of Uptown Riders.

Flores Family - Perhaps the largest and most memorable cartel organization out of all gangs apart of SR13. Flores was first founded in 2012 and started off as a mafia family, but due to numerous associations with the cartels, primarily CDG and CJNG, as well as having cartel statistics to it, it officially became a Mexican cartel gang that became the most active gang in South Ridge. During the mafia-cartel wars, it was first run by Eli Flores, who by the time of Tattaglia’s foundation, was their biggest threat. Eli was made to be an intimidating, fearless and intelligent boss, hence why he got the nickname the ”King of South Ridge”. A huge conflict against Tattaglia started specifically after the 4-hour long war for South Ridge in 2015, which sparked a huge environment in the Era mafia history. Bruno Tattaglia had arranged a meeting with the cartels for South Ridge, in which Eli refused to give South Ridge away to Tattaglia. The cartels had also gone to war against Harway for their docks when they were allies with Tattaglia, Musitano, and Profaci. Many times Harway ended up losing their docks to Flores. Eventually, though, Harway would reoccupy Hotel Docks and Chinatown would be given back to Tattaglia whenever they lost to Flores. Flores was also known for severe racism, extremism and toxicity. During the wars against the street gangs, specifically Dawgg and Oda, many of Flores members would call black hood gangs the “n word” and a lot of them ended up getting jailed for racial vulgarity. After a little while, TBM Flores became the boss of Flores at a point where Eli announced his retirement. TBM had become a problem to both Tattaglia and Flores, though. According to many members, TBM had been failing to lead Flores and ran it however he thought it should’ve been run, whether it’d be attacking allies for no reason whatsoever or getting into numerous arguments with other leaders, they had enough. Eventually, after Eli returned, Flores broke apart due to TBM’s refusal of dropping leadership. So then TBM had created “Flores Cartel Organization” and then later turned into a pizzeria gang, “Flores Pizzeria”. Eli had enough, and Bruno Tattaglia and Eli Flores both agreed to take down the Flores that TBM was leading. It unsurprisingly didn’t last too long, though. After TBM quits, Eli also quits not so long after. Adrian Flores then becomes boss of Flores and goes back to war with Tattaglia. At this time, it has been said that Adrian had made Flores slightly more toxic and relied more on arguments and toxicity rather than the shootouts and PKs. Adrian Flores asked to spar many people, and winning a lot of them. He ended up losing to Brujo Tattaglia at a point, but that didn’t stop him. Adrian wanted to focus on running Flores throughout Airport during his time of leadership, although it was still pretty active in South Ridge. Flores wanted Airport before, but with Adrian it was mostly active in AP, and sometimes Chinatown just to end up bullying Tattaglia. Despite his racism and many jails for it, Adrian Flores had close ties with the street gang “Crazyville” to help fight Tattaglia and eventually became friends with the leaders Dora, Kezzy and Sace. During the summer and a little after, Lorenzo had become a new enemy for Flores, and beat Flores in many wars. Adrian wanted Duncan B. Lorenzo’s head, but Lorenzo had already become more active and stronger. Flores eventually fell apart in 2019, though, after Adrian announced his retirement, and puts the Flores Family to rest.
