'''Lonestar''' is a [[nation]] on [[Horizon's End]]. It is best known for its [[starship]] designs, general neutrality, and friendliness towards new players.

Lonestar usually enjoys exceptionally high player activity and good political stability. Paired with its overall focus on training new players, its community in game and on discord alike are both very active; lonestar's discord in particular serves as a major hub of discussion for veteran players.

The nation's capital is the [[settlement]] [[texas]], the heart of its ship production. However, in recent months, [[Elysium]] has risen as the main population center of lonestar.

== History ==
Founded on October 19th 2024 by [[SIG130]], lonestar is a large faction with a balanced economy and military. Its capital, texas, dedicated itself to recruiting and training new players. After a brief period as an autonomous member of [[Radiance]], texas became independent and founded a nation grounded in neutrality. Its current leader is [[eyrzeke]], the original founder of texas.

Since its founding, Lonestar has balanced itself around military and industrial growth. Lonestar forces have participated in a number of anti-piracy engagements as well as starship construction for clients ranging from larger factions to individual entrepreneurs.

=== Corporatization Era ===
On December 1, 2024, leadership of lonestar was passed to [[XiJinping]]. He implemented sweeping reforms, including a rapid militarization effort, the production of a modernized war fleet, cessation of active Texas recruitment in favor of settlement recruitment, the initialization of a supercapital program, and the full subsidization of lonestar member settlements Aarmance and Elodia (which began a trend away from independent settlement development toward centralization). This period would also see the establishment of lonestar's current corporate identity, with the establishment of the seat of the chairman, the Executive Panel, and the Secretariat. Aarmance governor Gvazdika would then be appointed to the Executive Panel, marking the first time a member of a settlement outside of Texas held a leadership position in a nation that had been overwhelmingly dominated by it up to that point.

On January 5, 2025, Lonestar entered into its first short-lived formal alliance with [[Ekatera]] to exchange engineering assistance on Altar Sanctorium for Ekatera's time in printing Lonestar's freighter fleets. Shortly thereafter, [[Vega]] declared war on Ekatera over the issue of a seizure of a freighter used by the Vega citizen LeMaire. Lonestar attempted to diplomatically intervene, but could not mediate an agreement between the parties. Frustration with the handling of the situation and the risk the war posed to noncombatant Lonestar personnel led to Lonestar beginning a siege of [[Kovfefe]] against Ekatera on January 7, 2025, marking Lonestar's entry into the [[Vega-Ekatera War]].

In late January, [[Sovrah]] would join Lonestar after having been a member of [[Imperial Nova]], which also resulted in the transfer of Sovrah's Repentance-class [[Battlecruiser]]. This marked the first Battlecruiser in possession of a Lonestar pilot, though it would later be scrapped on February 23rd, 2025. Around the same time, the Nexus Affair would occur as part of the Vega-Ekatera War; following this event, [[Berx]] would become a subsidized Lonestar member settlement. Berx and Elodia would later merge into Olympus, located at the site of former [[Starfall]].

On March 5th, Sovrah would finalize the printing of the first home-brewed Lonestar Battlecruiser in survival, the Veyron class.

On March 19th, 2025, Chairmanship of Lonestar was transferred to WanderingOtter, and Hextagon was made advisor. Later the same day, Lonestar CursedSaturn killed server director Gutin in ground combat.

March 19th marked the end of the corporatization era. It had been characterized by the end of the old texas and its perception as a "noob settlement," pretextual warfare, alignment with the Vega bloc, aggressive military-industrial growth, and strong centralization.

=== Reconstruction Era ===
After the Solar War ended in January 2026, LoneStar entered a period of active reconstruction and internal change as several prominent members departed. Around this same period, many of the executives of LoneStar retired, creating a major shift in leadership and organization before the later promotions of newer figures within the faction.

During the Solar War, YourPalNova of Elysium joined LoneStar on November 20, 2025. However, in March 2026, they left LoneStar, and Abu_42069_ became the new Emperor of Orlandia in Imperial Nova. This marked the beginning of a new era for LoneStar, focused on internal restructuring. Around the same period, Twile would also eventually leave in April 2026.

Earlier, in March 2025, Ruinati0n left Alabama to reform NewCoruscant, merging several smaller settlements together to create a medium-sized hub that would continue growing in later months. At the same time, Elysium experienced a rise in player activity and influence.

This period became known as the Elysium–NewCoruscant Era because both settlements emerged as major centers of activity and leadership within the community. While Texas and Farpoint continued to lead the nation politically and economically, Elysium and NewCoruscant increasingly acted as the primary residential hubs for the growing player base.

In May 2026, YourPalNova was promoted to Executive, while Ruinati0n was Secretariat (role is now internally called Director). As leaders of their respective settlements, both played major roles in developing and guiding these expanding player communities. This era was prone with small conflicts and wars until June 23 2025 launched, and everything changed.

=== Growth Era ===
As Lonestar transitioned away from its reconstruction phase, YourPalNova, SmartFlyingWarrior, and Ruinati0n spearheaded a massive recruitment drive for new players. This period saw the emergence of key rising figures like Karnoskill, Football_44, ArtfulWarrior13, and Potionite. Serving as a talent scout, Ruinati0n identified Potionite as the very first of these recruits, who arrived alongside others during the Clown-Pierce Wave.

Following the drop of the infamous Yeah Jaron video, Lonestar experienced an unprecedented population boom, surging up to 80 concurrent actives before stabilizing at a steady average of 50. During the height of the video's release, it was common to see new members being onboarded every 5 to 15 minutes for 2 to 4 hours straight. The players recruited during the Clown-Pierce wave, alongside Lonestar's veteran core, managed this massive onboarding effort. During this time, both Ruinati0n and GunningBanana reached the rank of executive.

This era was also marked by significant settlement expansion and spinoffs. With the exception of Potionite, all the key players from the Yeah Jaron wave went on to establish their own settlements: ArtfulWarrior13 founded Gatinsir with 13 members, while Karnoskill and Football_44 established Korinthia on Eden. Additionally, later recruit Luxeworld was handed Arizona by retiring Lonestar officer Ruinati0n to grow and nurture a claim that had previously passed through Zelnrod, Hellfire (until it purged), Crimson Dawn, Witherblood, and Ruinati0n.

Eventually, declining playtime and real-life commitments prompted Ruinati0n to step down after 3 weeks as an executive. In mid-July, he formally handed over the leadership of NewCoruscant to GunningBanana before exiting Lonestar.

== Politics ==
Rather than a conventional nation with a political governing body, lonestar asserts itself as more of a quasi-confederation (a union of independent states or entities that join for common goals) wherein the member settlements of lonestar are generally independent in their own pursuits, but come together as one unit when pursuing alliances, conflict, and a sense of community.

Lonestar's leader, the chairman, has full and unilateral control over diplomacy; however, usually he will accept input from Executives and especially Advisors when making important decisions. The chairman and indeed the entire leadership of lonestar are granted no authority to make financial decisions that impact other settlements without their consent, such as taxes; this goes against lonestar's tenent of individualism.Rather than a nation with a political governing body, Lonestar is an interstellar megacorporation that subsidizes small, local governments which are largely permitted to act autonomously so long as the corporation is able to bring some profit from their success. Lonestar's leadership is composed of the chairman as well as the Executive Panel. The Lonestar Executives in turn act largely without outside interference or requirements of approval within their spheres of influence, provided their enterprises bring profit to the corporation. The rest of Lonestar is made up of the secretariat, debt-collecting corporate enforcers, engineers, and various interns.

In dealings with the various nations of Horizon's End, Lonestar tends to act with neutrality--continuing the Texas tradition of neutrality and independence--or taking the course of action that brings it the most profit. It is even willing to engage in business deals with pirates, provided those pirates do not engage in any hostilities toward the Lonestar corporate fleet.

== Claims==
Aarmance, an under-construction city settlement located on Aerach's Tulip Shores

Olympus, a black and pearlescent city built on Qatra's Oroduin Caldera, formerly known as Starfall

Texas, a parking lot and corporate vault located in Vask's Floro Mountains. The current center of lonestar's starship production.

NewCoruscant, a sprawling Star Wars themed brutalist city, sprawling with player activity, located on Illius in the Micle Forest.

Elysium, is an intricate city port side city filled with life with a roman inspired Roman name.

== Former Claims ==
Palmyra, named after the namesake ancient city filled with intact ai ships located on Aerach's Ardea Ocean. This was converted into Illinois.

Hargeysa, a dummy settlement for the under construction HIS Magnum heavy interplanetary station.

Illinois, an industrialized factory settlement mostly fitted with supercapital core production facilities.

ArchZenith, a philosophical area located at Lone Mathur, Krio.

Leafside, was a fresh settlement of new players located on Aerach's Kran's Island Minor.

== Military ==
Lonestar's military doctrine focuses heavily on outnumbering and outmaneuvering opponents on the battlefield, with an emphasis on less expensive ships, moderate training across many pilots, and balanced fleet compositions to nullify the drawbacks of a generally lower skill level.

[[Zekeship|Zekeships]] were the core of lonestar's pre-Dominion military. Lonestar forces often used specially modified mil-spec "navy issue" variants, which boast better armor and firepower than their standard counterparts. Even with such modifications, though, navy issue zekeships are still much cheaper than most contenders.

After the [[Dominion Update]], zekeships have been relegated to backline duties like AI hunting and occasionally filling empty spaces alongside the more potent [[Tech 2 Reactors|Tech 2]] ships introduced in that update.

On January 5, 2025, Lonestar entered into its first short-lived formal alliance with [[Ekatera]] to exchange engineering assistance on Altar Sanctorium for Ekatera's time in printing Lonestar's freighter fleets. Shortly thereafter, [[Vega]] declared war on Ekatera over the issue of a seizure of a freighter used by the Vega citizen LeMaire. Lonestar attempted to diplomatically intervene, but could not mediate an agreement between the parties. Frustration with the handling of the situation and the risk the war posed to noncombatant Lonestar personnel led to Lonestar beginning a siege of [[Kovfefe]] against Ekatera on January 7, 2025, marking Lonestar's entry into the [[Vega-Ekatera War]].

In late January, [[Sovrah]] would join Lonestar after having been a member of [[Imperial Nova]], which also resulted in the transfer of Sovrah's Repentance-class [[Battlecruiser]]. This marked the first Battlecruiser in possession of a Lonestar pilot, though it would later be scrapped on February 23rd, 2025. Around the same time, the Nexus Affair would occur as part of the Vega-Ekatera War; following this event, [[Berx]] would become a subsidized Lonestar member settlement. Berx and Elodia would later merge into Olympus, located at the site of former [[Starfall]].

On March 5th, Sovrah would finalize the printing of the first home-brewed Lonestar Battlecruiser in survival, the Veyron class.

On March 19th, 2025, Chairmanship of Lonestar was transferred to WanderingOtter, and Hextagon was made advisor. Later the same day, Lonestar CursedSaturn killed server director Gutin in ground combat.

March 19th marked the end of the corporatization era. It had been characterized by the end of the old texas and its perception as a "noob settlement," pretextual warfare, alignment with the Vega bloc, aggressive military-industrial growth, and strong centralization.

=== Reconstruction Era ===
After the Solar War ended in January 2026, LoneStar entered a period of active reconstruction and internal change as several prominent members departed. Around this same period, many of the executives of LoneStar retired, creating a major shift in leadership and organization before the later promotions of newer figures within the faction.

During the Solar War, YourPalNova of Elysium joined LoneStar on November 20, 2025. However, in March 2026, they left LoneStar, and Abu_42069_ became the new Emperor of Orlandia in Imperial Nova. This marked the beginning of a new era for LoneStar, focused on internal restructuring. Around the same period, Twile would also eventually leave in April 2026.

Earlier, in March 2025, Ruinati0n left Alabama to reform NewCoruscant, merging several smaller settlements together to create a medium-sized hub that would continue growing in later months. At the same time, Elysium experienced a rise in player activity and influence.

This period became known as the Elysium–NewCoruscant Era because both settlements emerged as major centers of activity and leadership within the community. While Texas and Farpoint continued to lead the nation politically and economically, Elysium and NewCoruscant increasingly acted as the primary residential hubs for the growing player base.

In May 2026, YourPalNova was promoted to Executive, while Ruinati0n was Secretariat (role is now internally called Director). As leaders of their respective settlements, both played major roles in developing and guiding these expanding player communities. This era was prone with small conflicts and wars until June 23 2025 launched, and everything changed.

=== Growth Era ===
As Lonestar transitioned away from its reconstruction phase, YourPalNova, SmartFlyingWarrior, and Ruinati0n spearheaded a massive recruitment drive for new players. This period saw the emergence of key rising figures like Karnoskill, Football_44, ArtfulWarrior13, and Potionite. Serving as a talent scout, Ruinati0n identified Potionite as the very first of these recruits, who arrived alongside others during the Clown-Pierce Wave.

Following the drop of the infamous Yeah Jaron video, Lonestar experienced an unprecedented population boom, surging up to 80 concurrent actives before stabilizing at a steady average of 50. During the height of the video's release, it was common to see new members being onboarded every 5 to 15 minutes for 2 to 4 hours straight. The players recruited during the Clown-Pierce wave, alongside Lonestar's veteran core, managed this massive onboarding effort. During this time, both Ruinati0n and GunningBanana reached the rank of executive.

This era was also marked by significant settlement expansion and spinoffs. With the exception of Potionite, all the key players from the Yeah Jaron wave went on to establish their own settlements: ArtfulWarrior13 founded Gatinsir with 13 members, while Karnoskill and Football_44 established Korinthia on Eden. Additionally, later recruit Luxeworld was handed Arizona by retiring Lonestar officer Ruinati0n to grow and nurture a claim that had previously passed through Zelnrod, Hellfire (until it purged), Crimson Dawn, Witherblood, and Ruinati0n.

Eventually, declining playtime and real-life commitments prompted Ruinati0n to step down after 3 weeks as an executive. In mid-July, he formally handed over the leadership of NewCoruscant to GunningBanana before exiting Lonestar.

== Politics ==
Rather than a conventional nation with a political governing body, lonestar asserts itself as more of a quasi-confederation (a union of independent states or entities that join for common goals) wherein the member settlements of lonestar are generally independent in their own pursuits, but come together as one unit when pursuing alliances, conflict, and a sense of community.

Lonestar's leader, the chairman, has full and unilateral control over diplomacy; however, usually he will accept input from Executives and especially Advisors when making important decisions. The chairman and indeed the entire leadership of lonestar are granted no authority to make financial decisions that impact other settlements without their consent, such as taxes; this goes against lonestar's tenent of individualism.Rather than a nation with a political governing body, Lonestar is an interstellar megacorporation that subsidizes small, local governments which are largely permitted to act autonomously so long as the corporation is able to bring some profit from their success. Lonestar's leadership is composed of the chairman as well as the Executive Panel. The Lonestar Executives in turn act largely without outside interference or requirements of approval within their spheres of influence, provided their enterprises bring profit to the corporation. The rest of Lonestar is made up of the secretariat, debt-collecting corporate enforcers, engineers, and various interns.

In dealings with the various nations of Horizon's End, Lonestar tends to act with neutrality--continuing the Texas tradition of neutrality and independence--or taking the course of action that brings it the most profit. It is even willing to engage in business deals with pirates, provided those pirates do not engage in any hostilities toward the Lonestar corporate fleet.

== Claims==
Aarmance, an under-construction city settlement located on Aerach's Tulip Shores

Olympus, a black and pearlescent city built on Qatra's Oroduin Caldera, formerly known as Starfall

Texas, a parking lot and corporate vault located in Vask's Floro Mountains. The current center of lonestar's starship production.

NewCoruscant, a sprawling Star Wars themed brutalist city, sprawling with player activity, located on Illius in the Micle Forest.

Elysium, is an intricate city port side city filled with life with a roman inspired Roman name.

== Former Claims ==
Palmyra, named after the namesake ancient city filled with intact ai ships located on Aerach's Ardea Ocean. This was converted into Illinois.

Hargeysa, a dummy settlement for the under construction HIS Magnum heavy interplanetary station.

Illinois, an industrialized factory settlement mostly fitted with supercapital core production facilities.

ArchZenith, a philosophical area located at Lone Mathur, Krio.

Leafside, was a fresh settlement of new players located on Aerach's Kran's Island Minor.

== Military ==
Lonestar's military doctrine focuses heavily on outnumbering and outmaneuvering opponents on the battlefield, with an emphasis on less expensive ships, moderate training across many pilots, and balanced fleet compositions to nullify the drawbacks of a generally lower skill level.

[[Zekeship|Zekeships]] were the core of lonestar's pre-Dominion military. Lonestar forces often used specially modified mil-spec "navy issue" variants, which boast better armor and firepower than their standard counterparts. Even with such modifications, though, navy issue zekeships are still much cheaper than most contenders.

After the [[Dominion Update]], zekeships have been relegated to backline duties like AI hunting and occasionally filling empty spaces alongside the more potent [[Tech 2 Reactors|Tech 2]] ships introduced in that update.

Daily Commissions

2026-09-10T00:08:55Z

Eyrzeke:

Daily Commissions are simple missions you can get from the commission droid in every [[Trade City]], which give you credits upon completion. This is generally seen as the best way for new players to progress, as the payments are significant for relatively simple jobs at low levels.

Every accepted commission will show up in your <code>/journal</code>.

To get a new Commission you must right-click on the droid. You will then be prompted in chat to select if you want a new commission. After clicking <em>"1.Can I get a new comission?"</em> use <code>/journal</code> to see your new comission. You can find the details on '''page 2'''. To start it, click the <em>"(Start Comission: Daily Comission)"</em> in chat. You can accept up to 3 commissions every 23 hours.

You can only have one commission at a time, so you have to finish your current commission before you can start a new one.

Every day that you complete commissions sets you on a streak, which increases payouts the more you do them up to a maximum amount of 15,000. The streak never expires, so the more commissions you do the more money you make.

== Types of commissions ==
* Mining ore
* Talking to NPCs
** Aqua Kyrell on [[Krio]]
** Josh Vos on [[Vask]]
** Fargus Tapal on [[Chandra]]
* Killing mobs

Transponders are a feature introduced in the [[Dominion Update]] in conjunction with new stealth mechanics. Before the update, all players holding controller and/or piloting ships were visible to all players on the [https://survival.horizonsend.net/ /map] which made players exceptionally vulnerable if they were unable to protect themselves from pirates or enemy factions. The transponder serves as a toggle for this old feature, allowing players to selectively appear on the map if they so choose. /transponder is a simple toggle command to enable or disable the transponder.

When enabled, the player is ALWAYS visible on the map, even when they are not piloting a starship or holding their controller. This can prove dangerous if a player doesn't have new player protection or is in a deep space system where protection doesn't apply regardless. As such, it's generally recommended to disable the transponder once you understand how intragalactic navigation works.

When disabled, the player is ONLY visible on the map when [[Combat Tag|combat tagged]] in PVP. While doing so, any ship they are piloting is also visible until the combat tag timer runs out.

'''VEGA''' '''Security''', more commonly referred to as '''Vega''' or '''VEGA''' and also the '''Vega Empire''', is one of the oldest and most powerful nations on Horizon's End, widely considered a major power or even the server hegemon since the launch of the server in 2022 (when it was called [[Echelon]]).

VEGA prides itself on its military prowess and on being home to the largest collection of server veterans (especially combatants), as well as being a close friend group outside of the server.

As of August 21, 2026, Vega is the first and only nation to sink ships using both combat-focused Large-Reactor ships: they sunk a ship with a [[Lancer]] first, then a [[Missile Cruiser]].

== History ==

=== Founding ===
VEGA was founded on [[Star Legacy]] in 2019 as a weapons corporation consisting of veteran players from [[Arimfean|Arimfea]] and [[Oblivion]]. It was well known for defeating the then-dominant [[Andromedan Republic]] in two consecutive [[Andromedan Republic-Vega War|wars]]. Many of the old VEGA players joined Horizon's End but initially decided not to recreate their nation, opting to form Echelon instead. On the 4th of January this nation was renamed to VEGA.

=== Post Dominion Update (2026) ===
Most of the original VEGA veterans had disappeared several years after the server's founding, most notably [[Vandrayk]], who was generally considered to be the effective leader of VEGA .

After the Dominion update, several of these veterans returned to experience new combat mechanics, such as new [[Tech 2 Reactors|Tech 2 warships]]. Their main opponent since then has generally been lonestar, although independent Vegan players occasionally pirate players foolish enough to venture into deep space with their [[transponder]] on.

= Internal Politics =
VEGA internal operations are an enigma to most, as their discord access is highly limited for even citizens. VEGA's organisational structure is the ''Operations Division'', beginning with the Director(s) at the top and going down to the Operatives at the bottom. Citizens are not part of this structure, and usually not considered 'true VEGA' by most. Since Vandrayk's departure the role of the Emperor has largely become symbolic, with VEGA functioning more as an oligarchic regime rather than an autocratic one. VEGA's operations division also extends beyond their nation, as many of their operatives are part of others. Whether these are actual agents of VEGA is disputed and likely varies from case to case.

= Internal Politics =
VEGA internal operations are an enigma to most, as their discord access is highly limited for even citizens. VEGA's organisational structure is the ''Operations Division'', beginning with the Director(s) at the top and going down to the Operatives at the bottom. Citizens are not part of this structure, and usually not considered 'true VEGA' by most. Since Vandrayk's departure the role of the Emperor has largely become symbolic, with VEGA functioning more as an oligarchic regime rather than an autocratic one. VEGA's operations division also extends beyond their nation, as many of their operatives are part of others. Whether these are actual agents of VEGA is disputed and likely varies from case to case.

'''Lonestar''' is a [[nation]] on [[Horizon's End]]. It is best known for its [[starship]] designs, general neutrality, and friendliness towards new players. The nation's capital is the [[settlement]] [[texas]], the heart of its ship production. However, in recent months, [[Elysium]] has risen as the main population center of lonestar.

Lonestar usually enjoys high player activity and political stability, and paired with its focus on training new players, its community in game and on discord alike are both very active.

== History ==
Founded on October 19th 2024 by [[SIG130]], lonestar is a large faction with a balanced economy and military. Its capital, texas, dedicated itself to recruiting and training new players. After a brief period as an autonomous member of [[Radiance]], texas became independent and founded a nation grounded in neutrality. Its current leader is eyrzeke, the original founder of texas.

Since its founding, Lonestar has balanced itself around military and industrial growth. Lonestar forces have participated in a number of anti-piracy engagements as well as starship construction for clients ranging from larger factions to individual entrepreneurs.

=== Corporatization Era ===
On December 1, 2024, leadership of lonestar was passed to [[XiJinping]]. He implemented sweeping reforms, including a rapid militarization effort, the production of a modernized war fleet, cessation of active Texas recruitment in favor of settlement recruitment, the initialization of a supercapital program, and the full subsidization of lonestar member settlements Aarmance and Elodia (which began a trend away from independent settlement development toward centralization). This period would also see the establishment of lonestar's current corporate identity, with the establishment of the seat of the chairman, the Executive Panel, and the Secretariat. Aarmance governor Gvazdika would then be appointed to the Executive Panel, marking the first time a member of a settlement outside of Texas held a leadership position in a nation that had been overwhelmingly dominated by it up to that point.

On January 5, 2025, Lonestar entered into its first short-lived formal alliance with [[Ekatera]] to exchange engineering assistance on Altar Sanctorium for Ekatera's time in printing Lonestar's freighter fleets. Shortly thereafter, [[Vega]] declared war on Ekatera over the issue of a seizure of a freighter used by the Vega citizen LeMaire. Lonestar attempted to diplomatically intervene, but could not mediate an agreement between the parties. Frustration with the handling of the situation and the risk the war posed to noncombatant Lonestar personnel led to Lonestar beginning a siege of [[Kovfefe]] against Ekatera on January 7, 2025, marking Lonestar's entry into the [[Vega-Ekatera War]].

In late January, [[Sovrah]] would join Lonestar after having been a member of [[Imperial Nova]], which also resulted in the transfer of Sovrah's Repentance-class [[Battlecruiser]]. This marked the first Battlecruiser in possession of a Lonestar pilot, though it would later be scrapped on February 23rd, 2025. Around the same time, the Nexus Affair would occur as part of the Vega-Ekatera War; following this event, [[Berx]] would become a subsidized Lonestar member settlement. Berx and Elodia would later merge into Olympus, located at the site of former [[Starfall]].

On March 5th, Sovrah would finalize the printing of the first home-brewed Lonestar Battlecruiser in survival, the Veyron class.

On March 19th, 2025, Chairmanship of Lonestar was transferred to WanderingOtter, and Hextagon was made advisor. Later the same day, Lonestar CursedSaturn killed server director Gutin in ground combat.

March 19th marked the end of the corporatization era. It had been characterized by the end of the old texas and its perception as a "noob settlement," pretextual warfare, alignment with the Vega bloc, aggressive military-industrial growth, and strong centralization.

=== Reconstruction Era ===
After the Solar War ended in January 2026, LoneStar entered a period of active reconstruction and internal change as several prominent members departed. Around this same period, many of the executives of LoneStar retired, creating a major shift in leadership and organization before the later promotions of newer figures within the faction.

During the Solar War, YourPalNova of Elysium joined LoneStar on November 20, 2025. However, in March 2026, they left LoneStar, and Abu_42069_ became the new Emperor of Orlandia in Imperial Nova. This marked the beginning of a new era for LoneStar, focused on internal restructuring. Around the same period, Twile would also eventually leave in April 2026.

Earlier, in March 2025, Ruinati0n left Alabama to reform NewCoruscant, merging several smaller settlements together to create a medium-sized hub that would continue growing in later months. At the same time, Elysium experienced a rise in player activity and influence.

This period became known as the Elysium–NewCoruscant Era because both settlements emerged as major centers of activity and leadership within the community. While Texas and Farpoint continued to lead the nation politically and economically, Elysium and NewCoruscant increasingly acted as the primary residential hubs for the growing player base.

In May 2026, YourPalNova was promoted to Executive, while Ruinati0n was Secretariat (role is now internally called Director). As leaders of their respective settlements, both played major roles in developing and guiding these expanding player communities. This era was prone with small conflicts and wars until June 23 2025 launched, and everything changed.

=== Growth Era ===
As Lonestar transitioned away from its reconstruction phase, YourPalNova, SmartFlyingWarrior, and Ruinati0n spearheaded a massive recruitment drive for new players. This period saw the emergence of key rising figures like Karnoskill, Football_44, ArtfulWarrior13, and Potionite. Serving as a talent scout, Ruinati0n identified Potionite as the very first of these recruits, who arrived alongside others during the Clown-Pierce Wave.

Following the drop of the infamous Yeah Jaron video, Lonestar experienced an unprecedented population boom, surging up to 80 concurrent actives before stabilizing at a steady average of 50. During the height of the video's release, it was common to see new members being onboarded every 5 to 15 minutes for 2 to 4 hours straight. The players recruited during the Clown-Pierce wave, alongside Lonestar's veteran core, managed this massive onboarding effort. During this time, both Ruinati0n and GunningBanana reached the rank of executive.

This era was also marked by significant settlement expansion and spinoffs. With the exception of Potionite, all the key players from the Yeah Jaron wave went on to establish their own settlements: ArtfulWarrior13 founded Gatinsir with 13 members, while Karnoskill and Football_44 established Korinthia on Eden. Additionally, later recruit Luxeworld was handed Arizona by retiring Lonestar officer Ruinati0n to grow and nurture a claim that had previously passed through Zelnrod, Hellfire (until it purged), Crimson Dawn, Witherblood, and Ruinati0n.

Eventually, declining playtime and real-life commitments prompted Ruinati0n to step down after 3 weeks as an executive. In mid-July, he formally handed over the leadership of NewCoruscant to GunningBanana before exiting Lonestar.

== Politics ==
Rather than a conventional nation with a political governing body, lonestar asserts itself as more of a quasi-confederation (a union of independent states or entities that join for common goals) wherein the member settlements of lonestar are generally independent in their own pursuits, but come together as one unit when pursuing alliances, conflict, and a sense of community.

Lonestar's leader, the chairman, has full and unilateral control over diplomacy; however, usually he will accept input from Executives and especially Advisors when making important decisions. The chairman and indeed the entire leadership of lonestar are granted no authority to make financial decisions that impact other settlements without their consent, such as taxes; this goes against lonestar's tenent of individualism.Rather than a nation with a political governing body, Lonestar is an interstellar megacorporation that subsidizes small, local governments which are largely permitted to act autonomously so long as the corporation is able to bring some profit from their success. Lonestar's leadership is composed of the chairman as well as the Executive Panel. The Lonestar Executives in turn act largely without outside interference or requirements of approval within their spheres of influence, provided their enterprises bring profit to the corporation. The rest of Lonestar is made up of the secretariat, debt-collecting corporate enforcers, engineers, and various interns.

In dealings with the various nations of Horizon's End, Lonestar tends to act with neutrality--continuing the Texas tradition of neutrality and independence--or taking the course of action that brings it the most profit. It is even willing to engage in business deals with pirates, provided those pirates do not engage in any hostilities toward the Lonestar corporate fleet.

== Claims==
Aarmance, an under-construction city settlement located on Aerach's Tulip Shores

Olympus, a black and pearlescent city built on Qatra's Oroduin Caldera, formerly known as Starfall

Texas, a parking lot and corporate vault located in Vask's Floro Mountains. The current center of lonestar's starship production.

NewCoruscant, a sprawling Star Wars themed brutalist city, sprawling with player activity, located on Illius in the Micle Forest.

Elysium, is an intricate city port side city filled with life with a roman inspired Roman name.

== Former Claims ==
Palmyra, named after the namesake ancient city filled with intact ai ships located on Aerach's Ardea Ocean. This was converted into Illinois.

Hargeysa, a dummy settlement for the under construction HIS Magnum heavy interplanetary station.

Illinois, an industrialized factory settlement mostly fitted with supercapital core production facilities.

ArchZenith, a philosophical area located at Lone Mathur, Krio.

Leafside, was a fresh settlement of new players located on Aerach's Kran's Island Minor.

== Military ==
Lonestar's military doctrine focuses heavily on outnumbering and outmaneuvering opponents on the battlefield, with an emphasis on less expensive ships, moderate training across many pilots, and balanced fleet compositions to nullify the drawbacks of a generally lower skill level.

[[Zekeship|Zekeships]] were the core of lonestar's pre-Dominion military. Lonestar forces often used specially modified mil-spec "navy issue" variants, which boast better armor and firepower than their standard counterparts. Even with such modifications, though, navy issue zekeships are still much cheaper than most contenders.

After the [[Dominion Update]], zekeships have been relegated to backline duties like AI hunting and occasionally filling empty spaces alongside the more potent [[Tech 2 Reactors|Tech 2]] ships introduced in that update.

Founded on October 19th 2024 by [[SIG130]], lonestar is a large faction with a balanced economy and military. Its capital, texas, dedicated itself to recruiting and training new players. After a brief period as an autonomous member of [[Radiance]], texas became independent and founded a nation grounded in neutrality. Its current leader is eyrzeke, the original founder of texas.

Since its founding, Lonestar has balanced itself around military and industrial growth. Lonestar forces have participated in a number of anti-piracy engagements as well as starship construction for clients ranging from larger factions to individual entrepreneurs.

=== Corporatization Era ===
On December 1, 2024, leadership of lonestar was passed to [[XiJinping]]. He implemented sweeping reforms, including a rapid militarization effort, the production of a modernized war fleet, cessation of active Texas recruitment in favor of settlement recruitment, the initialization of a supercapital program, and the full subsidization of lonestar member settlements Aarmance and Elodia (which began a trend away from independent settlement development toward centralization). This period would also see the establishment of lonestar's current corporate identity, with the establishment of the seat of the chairman, the Executive Panel, and the Secretariat. Aarmance governor Gvazdika would then be appointed to the Executive Panel, marking the first time a member of a settlement outside of Texas held a leadership position in a nation that had been overwhelmingly dominated by it up to that point.

On January 5, 2025, Lonestar entered into its first short-lived formal alliance with [[Ekatera]] to exchange engineering assistance on Altar Sanctorium for Ekatera's time in printing Lonestar's freighter fleets. Shortly thereafter, [[Vega]] declared war on Ekatera over the issue of a seizure of a freighter used by the Vega citizen LeMaire. Lonestar attempted to diplomatically intervene, but could not mediate an agreement between the parties. Frustration with the handling of the situation and the risk the war posed to noncombatant Lonestar personnel led to Lonestar beginning a siege of [[Kovfefe]] against Ekatera on January 7, 2025, marking Lonestar's entry into the [[Vega-Ekatera War]].

In late January, [[Sovrah]] would join Lonestar after having been a member of [[Imperial Nova]], which also resulted in the transfer of Sovrah's Repentance-class [[Battlecruiser]]. This marked the first Battlecruiser in possession of a Lonestar pilot, though it would later be scrapped on February 23rd, 2025. Around the same time, the Nexus Affair would occur as part of the Vega-Ekatera War; following this event, [[Berx]] would become a subsidized Lonestar member settlement. Berx and Elodia would later merge into Olympus, located at the site of former [[Starfall]].

On March 5th, Sovrah would finalize the printing of the first home-brewed Lonestar Battlecruiser in survival, the Veyron class.

On March 19th, 2025, Chairmanship of Lonestar was transferred to WanderingOtter, and Hextagon was made advisor. Later the same day, Lonestar CursedSaturn killed server director Gutin in ground combat.

March 19th marked the end of the corporatization era. It had been characterized by the end of the old texas and its perception as a "noob settlement," pretextual warfare, alignment with the Vega bloc, aggressive military-industrial growth, and strong centralization.

=== Reconstruction Era ===
After the Solar War ended in January 2026, LoneStar entered a period of active reconstruction and internal change as several prominent members departed. Around this same period, many of the executives of LoneStar retired, creating a major shift in leadership and organization before the later promotions of newer figures within the faction.

During the Solar War, YourPalNova of Elysium joined LoneStar on November 20, 2025. However, in March 2026, they left LoneStar, and Abu_42069_ became the new Emperor of Orlandia in Imperial Nova. This marked the beginning of a new era for LoneStar, focused on internal restructuring. Around the same period, Twile would also eventually leave in April 2026.

Earlier, in March 2025, Ruinati0n left Alabama to reform NewCoruscant, merging several smaller settlements together to create a medium-sized hub that would continue growing in later months. At the same time, Elysium experienced a rise in player activity and influence.

This period became known as the Elysium–NewCoruscant Era because both settlements emerged as major centers of activity and leadership within the community. While Texas and Farpoint continued to lead the nation politically and economically, Elysium and NewCoruscant increasingly acted as the primary residential hubs for the growing player base.

In May 2026, YourPalNova was promoted to Executive, while Ruinati0n was Secretariat (role is now internally called Director). As leaders of their respective settlements, both played major roles in developing and guiding these expanding player communities. This era was prone with small conflicts and wars until June 23 2025 launched, and everything changed.

=== Growth Era ===
As Lonestar transitioned away from its reconstruction phase, YourPalNova, SmartFlyingWarrior, and Ruinati0n spearheaded a massive recruitment drive for new players. This period saw the emergence of key rising figures like Karnoskill, Football_44, ArtfulWarrior13, and Potionite. Serving as a talent scout, Ruinati0n identified Potionite as the very first of these recruits, who arrived alongside others during the Clown-Pierce Wave.

Following the drop of the infamous Yeah Jaron video, Lonestar experienced an unprecedented population boom, surging up to 80 concurrent actives before stabilizing at a steady average of 50. During the height of the video's release, it was common to see new members being onboarded every 5 to 15 minutes for 2 to 4 hours straight. The players recruited during the Clown-Pierce wave, alongside Lonestar's veteran core, managed this massive onboarding effort. During this time, both Ruinati0n and GunningBanana reached the rank of executive.

This era was also marked by significant settlement expansion and spinoffs. With the exception of Potionite, all the key players from the Yeah Jaron wave went on to establish their own settlements: ArtfulWarrior13 founded Gatinsir with 13 members, while Karnoskill and Football_44 established Korinthia on Eden. Additionally, later recruit Luxeworld was handed Arizona by retiring Lonestar officer Ruinati0n to grow and nurture a claim that had previously passed through Zelnrod, Hellfire (until it purged), Crimson Dawn, Witherblood, and Ruinati0n.

Eventually, declining playtime and real-life commitments prompted Ruinati0n to step down after 3 weeks as an executive. In mid-July, he formally handed over the leadership of NewCoruscant to GunningBanana before exiting Lonestar.

== Politics ==
Rather than a conventional nation with a political governing body, lonestar asserts itself as more of a quasi-confederation (a union of independent states or entities that join for common goals) wherein the member settlements of lonestar are generally independent in their own pursuits, but come together as one unit when pursuing alliances, conflict, and a sense of community.

Lonestar's leader, the chairman, has full and unilateral control over diplomacy; however, usually he will accept input from Executives and especially Advisors when making important decisions. The chairman and indeed the entire leadership of lonestar are granted no authority to make financial decisions that impact other settlements without their consent, such as taxes; this goes against lonestar's tenent of individualism.Rather than a nation with a political governing body, Lonestar is an interstellar megacorporation that subsidizes small, local governments which are largely permitted to act autonomously so long as the corporation is able to bring some profit from their success. Lonestar's leadership is composed of the chairman as well as the Executive Panel. The Lonestar Executives in turn act largely without outside interference or requirements of approval within their spheres of influence, provided their enterprises bring profit to the corporation. The rest of Lonestar is made up of the secretariat, debt-collecting corporate enforcers, engineers, and various interns.

In dealings with the various nations of Horizon's End, Lonestar tends to act with neutrality--continuing the Texas tradition of neutrality and independence--or taking the course of action that brings it the most profit. It is even willing to engage in business deals with pirates, provided those pirates do not engage in any hostilities toward the Lonestar corporate fleet.

== Military ==
Lonestar's military doctrine focuses heavily on outnumbering and outmaneuvering opponents on the battlefield, with an emphasis on less expensive ships, moderate training across many pilots, and balanced fleet compositions to nullify the drawbacks of a generally lower skill level.

[[Zekeship|Zekeships]] were the core of lonestar's pre-Dominion military. Lonestar forces often used specially modified mil-spec "navy issue" variants, which boast better armor and firepower than their standard counterparts. Even with such modifications, though, navy issue zekeships are still much cheaper than most contenders.

After the [[Dominion Update]], zekeships have been relegated to backline duties like AI hunting and occasionally filling empty spaces alongside the more potent [[Tech 2 Reactors|Tech 2]] ships introduced in that update.

Probe Launcher

2026-08-18T07:27:09Z

Eyrzeke:

== Probes ==
[[File:Probes.png|thumb|Image of texture of both probes]]See [[Crafted Resources]] for more information on recipes.

Scanner Probes can be crafted using 1 gold nugget and 1 iron nugget in a shapeless recipe.

Combat Probes (Advanced probe launcher ONLY) can be crafted using 1 iron nugget and 1 aluminum ingot in a shapeless recipe.

The probes are a stackable item and must be loaded into a starship [[magazine]] to be usable.
== Basic Probe Launcher ==
{{Infobox multiblock|name=Basic Probe Launcher|image=ProbeLauncher.png|resource_title1=Note Block|resource_title2=Dispenser|resource_title3=Grindstone|resource_title4=Sponge|resource_title5=End Rod|resource_value1=1|resource_value2=1|resource_value3=1|resource_value4=1|resource_value5=2}}
Probe Launcher - T1 Version, can be fit on the following:

* [[Shuttle]]
* [[Transport]]
* [[Light Freighter]]
* [[Blockade Runner]]
* [[Medium Freighter]]
* [[Heavy Freighter]]
This is a smaller version of the advanced multiblock. This probe launcher can only use Scanner Probes, the recipe is listed below.{{Clear}}

== Advanced Probe Launcher ==
{{Infobox multiblock|name=Advanced Probe Launcher|image=probe.png|resource_title1=Iron block|resource_title2=End Rod|resource_title3=Grindstone|resource_title4=Note Block|resource_title5=Stair (any)|resource_title6=Sponge|resource_title7=Dispenser|resource_value1=2|resource_value2=2|resource_value3=2|resource_value4=1|resource_value5=1|resource_value6=1|resource_value7=1}}
The Advanced Probe Launcher gets additional combat capabilities in addition to the basic scanning abilities of the Basic Probe Launcher, with the ability to fire combat probes as well. This is the T2 Version, and can be fit on the following:

* [[Barge]]
* [[Recon Fighter|Recon]]
* [[Scrambler]]
* [[Stasis Corvette]]
* [[Missile Cruiser]]
* [[Industrial Command Ship]]
{{Clear}}

== Using The Probe Launcher ==
The first thing you need to know about using the probe multiblock, is that the multiblock itself launches probes which are a type of Ammo. This means that your starship will need to be equipped with a [[magazine]]. Additionally, the launcher counts as a heavy weapon, and as such if you have any other heavy weapon on the ship (if possible), you will need nodes. To launch probes, once loaded into the magazine on an active ship, you simple use it like any other heavy weapon, by holding right click. From there after a short delay you will get info on [[Cosmic Signatures]] within a 7500(Recon)/5000 block radius in the system you're in using Scanner Probes, and other [[starship]]s in the same radius if using Combat Probes.

'''NOTE: Fires from the dispenser not the End Rods''' (think of the end rod as the antenna and the dispenser as the actual launcher). This means the dispenser must have a clear line of sight in the same way other weapons do to fire (at most one block ''directly in front of it'').

'''Lonestar''' is a [[nation]] on [[Horizon's End]]. It is best known for its [[starship]] designs, general neutrality, and friendliness towards new players. The nation's capital is the [[settlement]] [[texas]], the heart of its ship production.

Lonestar usually enjoys high player activity and political stability, and paired with its focus on independence, its community in game and on discord alike are both typically active.

== History ==
Founded on October 19th 2024 by [[SIG130]], lonestar is a large faction with a balanced economy and military. Its capital, texas, dedicated itself to recruiting and training new players. After a brief period as an autonomous member of [[Radiance]], texas became independent and founded a nation grounded in neutrality. Its current leader is eyrzeke, the original founder of texas.

Since its founding, Lonestar has balanced itself around military and industrial growth. Lonestar forces have participated in a number of anti-piracy engagements as well as starship construction for clients ranging from larger factions to individual entrepreneurs.

=== Corporatization Era ===
On December 1, 2024, leadership of lonestar was passed to [[XiJinping]]. He implemented sweeping reforms, including a rapid militarization effort, the production of a modernized war fleet, cessation of active Texas recruitment in favor of settlement recruitment, the initialization of a supercapital program, and the full subsidization of lonestar member settlements Aarmance and Elodia (which began a trend away from independent settlement development toward centralization). This period would also see the establishment of lonestar's current corporate identity, with the establishment of the seat of the chairman, the Executive Panel, and the Secretariat. Aarmance governor Gvazdika would then be appointed to the Executive Panel, marking the first time a member of a settlement outside of Texas held a leadership position in a nation that had been overwhelmingly dominated by it up to that point.

On January 5, 2025, Lonestar entered into its first short-lived formal alliance with [[Ekatera]] to exchange engineering assistance on Altar Sanctorium for Ekatera's time in printing Lonestar's freighter fleets. Shortly thereafter, [[Vega]] declared war on Ekatera over the issue of a seizure of a freighter used by the Vega citizen LeMaire. Lonestar attempted to diplomatically intervene, but could not mediate an agreement between the parties. Frustration with the handling of the situation and the risk the war posed to noncombatant Lonestar personnel led to Lonestar beginning a siege of [[Kovfefe]] against Ekatera on January 7, 2025, marking Lonestar's entry into the [[Vega-Ekatera War]].

In late January, [[Sovrah]] would join Lonestar after having been a member of [[Imperial Nova]], which also resulted in the transfer of Sovrah's Repentance-class [[Battlecruiser]]. This marked the first Battlecruiser in possession of a Lonestar pilot, though it would later be scrapped on February 23rd, 2025. Around the same time, the Nexus Affair would occur as part of the Vega-Ekatera War; following this event, [[Berx]] would become a subsidized Lonestar member settlement. Berx and Elodia would later merge into Olympus, located at the site of former [[Starfall]].

On March 5th, Sovrah would finalize the printing of the first home-brewed Lonestar Battlecruiser in survival, the Veyron class.

On March 19th, 2025, Chairmanship of Lonestar was transferred to WanderingOtter, and Hextagon was made advisor. Later the same day, Lonestar CursedSaturn killed server director Gutin in ground combat.

March 19th marked the end of the corporatization era. It had been characterized by the end of the old texas and its perception as a "noob settlement," pretextual warfare, alignment with the Vega bloc, aggressive military-industrial growth, and strong centralization.

=== Reconstruction Era ===
After the Solar War ended in January 2026, LoneStar entered a period of active reconstruction and internal change as several prominent members departed. Around this same period, many of the executives of LoneStar retired, creating a major shift in leadership and organization before the later promotions of newer figures within the faction.

During the Solar War, YourPalNova of Elysium joined LoneStar on November 20, 2025. However, in March 2026, they left LoneStar, and Abu_42069_ became the new Emperor of Orlandia in Imperial Nova. This marked the beginning of a new era for LoneStar, focused on internal restructuring. Around the same period, Twile would also eventually leave in April 2026.

Earlier, in March 2025, Ruinati0n left Alabama to reform NewCoruscant, merging several smaller settlements together to create a medium-sized hub that would continue growing in later months. At the same time, Elysium experienced a rise in player activity and influence.

This period became known as the Elysium–NewCoruscant Era because both settlements emerged as major centers of activity and leadership within the community. While Texas and Farpoint continued to lead the nation politically and economically, Elysium and NewCoruscant increasingly acted as the primary residential hubs for the growing player base.

In May 2026, YourPalNova was promoted to Executive, while Ruinati0n became Secretarist. As leaders of their respective settlements, both played major roles in developing and guiding these expanding player communities.

In June 2026, the Director role was created in Lonestar as a matter of internal restructuring.

Rather than a conventional nation with a political governing body, lonestar asserts itself as more of a quasi-confederation (a union of independent states or entities that join for common goals) wherein the member settlements of lonestar are generally independent in their own pursuits, but come together as one unit when pursuing alliances, conflict, and a sense of community.

Trade City

2026-06-30T18:16:06Z

Eyrzeke: /* List Of Player Trade Cities */

'''Trade Cities''' are territories on planets that have economic infrastructure.

All trade cities (player and NPC) sell standard NPC starships at a [[Ship Dealer]], sell crates for [[Cargo Trading]], and host player shops via the [[Bazaar]].

Trade Cities are [[safezones]] - you cannot be hurt while within the territory, and explosions cannot take place.

The owners of a trade city are able to take ships parked in the territory, like any other settlement.

==Trade City NPCs==
[[File:Iliusnpcs.png|thumb|A pair of cargo NPCs in the spawn territory.|200x200px]]
'''Exporter''': Buy [[Cargo Trading|cargo crates]]

'''Importer''': Sell cargo crates

'''[[Bazaar]]''': Purchase from other players on the local Bazaar

'''Commissions Droid''': Start a [[Daily Commission]]

'''[[Server Ship Dealer|Ship Dealer]]''': Purchase starter ships

'''[[Player Ship Dealer]]:''' Purchase Player-made ships (stock may be limited or nonexistent)

==Player Trade Cities & Requirements==
A [[settlement]] that meets certain requirements can apply to be a trade city. For each trade city application an independent panel of players will be gathered to vote on the city. It will be judged on the following criteria, and each member will decide an overall yes / no vote. The votes will be tallied and a majority yes / no will decide the application's acceptance. [[Eden]] cannot have trade cities.
* 3 Active Members*
* Landing Areas
* Docking Areas
* Clearly identified trade building to house NPCs.
* Sufficient Cityscape
* Settlement feels like a City
* Good Building Quality
* Roads
* No excessive reuse of building designs
<nowiki>*</nowiki>Once accepted, 4 active members are required to keep the benefits of a TC

* Vasost at 1000x, 1800z, on [[Vask]]

=== Deep Space Outposts ===
These are more dangerous for a player to venture to due to '''no safezone protection''' and distance, but offer much higher profits. Additionally you can sell ores directly here, introducing a new money making option.

Cargo Trading

2026-06-29T19:22:21Z

Eyrzeke: /* Graph */

'''Cargo Trading''' is a beginner-friendly way to earn credits (money) on [[Horizon's End]]. To start, you need a [[Starship|civilian ship]] with sticky pistons to place crates on and a way to activate the sticky pistons using buttons, levers, etc.

== Crates ==
Crates are [https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Shulker_Box shulker boxes]. Shulker boxes do not have regular functionality on [[Horizon's End]]. Instead, they are used as crates for trading between trade cities.

* Crates can be bought from [[Exporter NPC]]s in trade cities
* Crates can only be transported off planet when attached to a sticky piston
* They can then be given to an [[Importer NPC]] in the destination location for a profit

== Completing a Cargo Trade ==

==== Exporting Cargo ====
Speak to the [[Exporter NPC]] in a [[Trade City]] to pick up crates. You can select crates based on the following criteria:

* Ore Type (cosmetic, decides the color of the crates)
* Destination City (where you will deliver the cargo)
* Price (the cost of the cargo)
* Expiration Time (how long you have to deliver the cargo)
[[File:Cargo Crate Example.png|alt=Item selected: Titanium Cargo Crate, Destination: Cadia on Ilius, Cost: C43.6 per crate, Days until expiry: 2|thumb|An example of a cargo crate from the Exporter NPC]]
Once you select the cargo you would like to export, enter the number of crates you would like. If you enter a number greater than space available in your inventory, the crates will initially be bound to you, so other players cannot steal them. Be aware that you can only buy crates from each Trade City once every 8 hours, so make sure you input the exact number of crates you would like to trade.
[[File:CargoConfirmation.png|alt=Chat message reading "Accepted a shipment for C1,308 to deliver 30 Crates to Cadia on Ilius in exchange for a total revenue of C4,842.55. The items can only be picked up by you for one hour, or until you pick them up (and drop them again), so move them to your ship!"|thumb|Confirmation of your cargo]]
Once you purchase the crates, you will see a confirmation in chat with the number of crates that you need to deliver, and the expected total revenue (if you deliver all of the crates).

==== Transporting Cargo ====
You cannot hold any crates in your inventory while piloting a ship; '''all crates must be placed on sticky pistons in your ship''' (this is the only way to place blocks in a Trade City).

Once your crates are on your starship, make sure to Redetect the crates on your ship, and you are on your way to making some money.

When you land your starship in the destination Trade City, use your activating method (button, lever, etc.) to release the crates.

'''Tip: If you cannot use your button or lever, try activating your ship and using the button/lever to release the cargo, and release the ship to pick up your crates.'''

==== Importing Cargo ====
Bring your crates to the Importer NPC in the destination Trade City to deliver crates. In order to maximize profit, make sure you deliver '''all''' of the crates you bought to complete the order. You can, however, import across multiple trips.

When you successfully import, you will be taxed, receive payment for your crates delivered so far, and receive XP. Upon delivering the full cargo, you will see the resulting profit post-tax and initial crate cost in chat.

== Cargo Runs/Trade Routes ==
'''Cargo runs''' refer to the process of cargo trading, and '''trade routes''' refer to "optimal" routes for a cargo run.

Optimal trading strategy revolves around choosing a route that requires the least amount of jumps between destinations, since distance does not affect crate price, and choosing destination cities that you have not bought crates from yet, enabling you to pick up more crates without having to backtrack or make empty trips.

== Graph ==
This graph denotes the supported crate capacity of starships as they scale up in size. Larger ships can carry more crates than smaller ones. Warships have half the crate capacity of an equivalent tradeship.

Blockade Runners (2x cargo) and Jump Freighters (3x cargo) can carry significantly more cargo than the graph would ordinarily state.

Starship Weapons

2026-06-29T18:32:04Z

Eyrzeke:

'''Starship weapons''' are used to deal damage to other starships, players, and entities.

Light Weapons are fired by left clicking with a controller. Multiple light weapons can be fired at once if you are not using [[weaponsets]] and [[nodes]] to control which weapons fire.

Heavy Weapons are fired by right clicking with a controller after a brief charge-up delay. Only one type of heavy weapon can be fired at a time, so ships with multiple heavy weapons must control them using weaponsets and nodes. Attempting to fire more than one weapon will jam the systems.

Turrets can fire in any direction that they have line of sight in. All turrets except for the [[Tri Turret]] are light weapons. [[Light Turrets]], Tri Turrets, and [[Point Defense Turrets]] can automatically fire on player or ship targets designated using <code>/settarget [node] [player]</code> or <code>/st [node] [player]</code>. Point Defense Turrets are light weapons and cannot be fired manually.

Some weapons such as [[Plasma Cannons]], [[Interceptor Cannons]], and [[Torpedoes]], can only fire forwards. The direction of fire for these weapons is the opposite direction of maximum thrust.

Players take 5 hearts of true damage when hit with any starship weapon.

Ship weapons can be hidden under a block of armor and still fire. That is, if say a gunship has a phaser hidden behind a block of terracotta, the phaser will still be able to fire through that block.

= Tech 1 Light Weapons =
Light weapons have a comparatively high fire rate and low damage. Fire by left clicking with a clock. These weapons are used by Tech 1 ships and the Tech 2 [[Interdictor Corvette|Interdictor Corvettes]], [[Interdictor Destroyer|Interdictor Destroyers]], and [[Black Ops Frigate]].

'''Plasma cannons''' are the best primary weapon for small ships; they deal great damage and have a good fire rate. However, they can only fire forwards, and are limited by range and poor arcs of fire, making ships that can only mount plasmas (like Starfighters and Tackle Gunships) very vulnerable to fast adversaries armed with turrets or pulse cannons.

'''Pulse cannons''' can only be used on [[Gunships]] and [[Corvettes]] and are excellent against [[starfighters]] and other small, fast ships, thanks to their incredible arcs and accuracy. They pair up very well for anti-fighter duties alongside Light Turrets and Heavy Lasers.

Their drawback is a lack of raw damage output. This is usually made up by superior arcs compared to plasma and laser cannons, but in a head-on engagement a gunship will have trouble against a starfighter.

'''Heavy turrets''' are larger turrets that excel in ship-to-ship combat with larger ships with its dual projectiles. The lowermost sponge block (where the sign is attached) may be any block. Heavy turrets can be detected with the sign text [turret]. They do not automatically fire and must be manually controlled with weapon sets, which are accomplished with node signs placed on the turret signs.

Despite their name, they are classed as light weapons, and fire with left-click.

'''Quad Turrets''' are capital-grade manual weapons that deal devastating damage to both shields and blocks. They fire once every three seconds, and the projectiles travel very slowly.

'''Ion turrets''' are unique manual weapons that disrupt systems in an 8x8 cube around where their shots impact. This disruption disables thrusters in the area for 5 seconds, reducing cruise speed for a time. This mechanic has no effect on ships using direct control. Ion turret projectiles are very slow and also deal a modest amount of shield damage, and minimal hull damage. Ion turrets can be detected with the sign text [turret].

Heavy weapons are weapons operating on an alternate weapons system. Hold right click to activate. Most heavy weapons consume ammo from a [[Magazine]].

You cannot fire more than one heavy weapon at a time. Attempting to do so will jam the ship's systems and prevent all heavy weapons from firing. Circumventing this issue is done with node signs.

{{Upcoming Info|description=more information}}

Tech 2 Weapons are an addition in the [[Dominion Update]], which are going to be used on most Tech 2 ships. The only Tech 2 ships not using Tech 2 weapons are the [[Interdiction Corvette]], [[Interdiction Destroyer]], and the [[Black Ops Frigate]]. Most Tech 2 weapons have a higher damage than similar Tech 1 weapons. On top of that a number of these weapons provide different status effects, and there are even some that actually heal ships, called logistics weapons, which can be outfitted on the [[Logistics Corvette]] and the [[Logistics Cruiser]]. 

= Tech 2 Light Weapons =
Tech 2 Light weapons work the same way as Tech 1 Light weapons, although some may require ammo and therefore a [[magazine]] to fire, in the same way that the Tech 1 Quad Cannons and Ion Turrets, as well as most heavy weapons do. In addition to traditional offensive power, many of these weapons also provide certain status effects to the ship you hit, and there are even logistics weapons that heal ships. All Tech 2 ships use some form of Tech 2 weapon with the exceptions of the [[Interdiction Destroyer]], [[Interdiction Corvette]], and [[Black Ops Frigate]].

Tech 2 Heavy weapons are the heavy weapons for Tech 2 ships. Being heavy weapons they have to be charged up before use, with some having lengthy charge up times. All Tech 2 ships use some form of Tech 2 weapon with the exceptions of the [[Interdiction Destroyer]], [[Interdiction Corvette]], and [[Black Ops Frigate]]. The only Tech 2 weapon that can be fitted on Tech 1 ships is the probe, which is explained in its section.

This is technically a heavy weapon, used on the [[Recon Starfighter|Recon]][[Recon Starfighter|Starfighter]], as well as the Tech 1 [[Transport]], [[Light Freighter]], and [[Barge]]. The Probe is actually a launcher for [[Scanner Probes]] and [[Combat Probes]]. Scanner probes are used to locate [[Cosmic Signatures]], which has its own page you can find more details on.{{Clear}}

Cargo Trading

2026-06-29T17:47:38Z

Eyrzeke: /* Graph */

'''Cargo Trading''' is a beginner-friendly way to earn credits (money) on [[Horizon's End]]. To start, you need a [[Starship|civilian ship]] with sticky pistons to place crates on and a way to activate the sticky pistons using buttons, levers, etc.

== Crates ==
Crates are [https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Shulker_Box shulker boxes]. Shulker boxes do not have regular functionality on [[Horizon's End]]. Instead, they are used as crates for trading between trade cities.

* Crates can be bought from [[Exporter NPC]]s in trade cities
* Crates can only be transported off planet when attached to a sticky piston
* They can then be given to an [[Importer NPC]] in the destination location for a profit

== Completing a Cargo Trade ==

==== Exporting Cargo ====
Speak to the [[Exporter NPC]] in a [[Trade City]] to pick up crates. You can select crates based on the following criteria:

* Ore Type (cosmetic, decides the color of the crates)
* Destination City (where you will deliver the cargo)
* Price (the cost of the cargo)
* Expiration Time (how long you have to deliver the cargo)
[[File:Cargo Crate Example.png|alt=Item selected: Titanium Cargo Crate, Destination: Cadia on Ilius, Cost: C43.6 per crate, Days until expiry: 2|thumb|An example of a cargo crate from the Exporter NPC]]
Once you select the cargo you would like to export, enter the number of crates you would like. If you enter a number greater than space available in your inventory, the crates will initially be bound to you, so other players cannot steal them. Be aware that you can only buy crates from each Trade City once every 8 hours, so make sure you input the exact number of crates you would like to trade.
[[File:CargoConfirmation.png|alt=Chat message reading "Accepted a shipment for C1,308 to deliver 30 Crates to Cadia on Ilius in exchange for a total revenue of C4,842.55. The items can only be picked up by you for one hour, or until you pick them up (and drop them again), so move them to your ship!"|thumb|Confirmation of your cargo]]
Once you purchase the crates, you will see a confirmation in chat with the number of crates that you need to deliver, and the expected total revenue (if you deliver all of the crates).

==== Transporting Cargo ====
You cannot hold any crates in your inventory while piloting a ship; '''all crates must be placed on sticky pistons in your ship''' (this is the only way to place blocks in a Trade City).

Once your crates are on your starship, make sure to Redetect the crates on your ship, and you are on your way to making some money.

When you land your starship in the destination Trade City, use your activating method (button, lever, etc.) to release the crates.

'''Tip: If you cannot use your button or lever, try activating your ship and using the button/lever to release the cargo, and release the ship to pick up your crates.'''

==== Importing Cargo ====
Bring your crates to the Importer NPC in the destination Trade City to deliver crates. In order to maximize profit, make sure you deliver '''all''' of the crates you bought to complete the order. You can, however, import across multiple trips.

When you successfully import, you will be taxed, receive payment for your crates delivered so far, and receive XP. Upon delivering the full cargo, you will see the resulting profit post-tax and initial crate cost in chat.

== Cargo Runs/Trade Routes ==
'''Cargo runs''' refer to the process of cargo trading, and '''trade routes''' refer to "optimal" routes for a cargo run.

Optimal trading strategy revolves around choosing a route that requires the least amount of jumps between destinations, since distance does not affect crate price, and choosing destination cities that you have not bought crates from yet, enabling you to pick up more crates without having to backtrack or make empty trips.

== Graph ==
This graph denotes the supported crate capacity of starships as they scale up in size. Larger ships can carry more crates than smaller ones. Warships have half the crate capacity of an equivalent tradeship.

Cosmic Signatures

2026-06-28T01:22:13Z

Eyrzeke: /* NPC Ship Loci */

== Domion Update Feature ==
This Feature is one of the core features of the upcoming [[Dominion Update]] and is subject to more information and various changes as we get closer to the update.

== Cosmic Signatures ==
Cosmic Signatures are randomly located events only in [[Deep Space]], which are detectable using the [[Probe]] multiblock. These can be one of a variety of points of interest offering opportunities for mining, scavenging, and PvE Combat. When they spawn, a message will be broadcast stating the system they are located in, after which point you will need to search that system with a scanner to locate the signature. Note: actual blocks at the signature will not spawn unless scanned by a probe, meaning you cannot just brute force around until you find a site unless you are tailing someone with a probe.

=== Asteroid Fields ===
Once scanned, generates a rare asteroid field which can contain the rare resources for T2 ships of Scordite, Vanadium, Zircon and Atavum. Fields will spawn randomly, but at different frequencies correlating to the rarity of the ores within them.

=== Wreck Sites ===
Wreck sites spawn randomly in [[Deep Space]]. Once scanned, generates a wrecks site, which has chests locked behind minigames. Upon successful completion of the minigame the player will be able to loot the chest, potentially for rare materials, such as those used in [[Assembly Core|Assembly Cores]], a new component essential to new weaponry. If the player fails the minigame, the items will be lost.

=== NPC Ship Loci ===
NPC Loci spawn randomly in [[Deep Space]].These behave much like HE loci behaved prior to Dominion although they may be reworked after Dominion releases. The key difference is that instead of loci always being visible, you must scan them down. For those who are unaware, loci are locations where NPC factions will spawn a variety of ships. The size and strength of ship varies by the type of loci, and additionally, the rate at which ships spawn is related to the number of Player starships active in the area. As such it is advised to bring friends and allies if you wish to use a loci to its fullest, as with a larger fleet you can spawn more enemies and therefore get more loot. (Note: people often refer to NPC ships as "AI" or by their faction, such as the Privateers, Tsaii Raiders (Tsaii), Mining Guild, AI Pirates, Chifanren, and Watchers)

== Scanning For Signatures ==
To scan for signatures, one must use the Probe multiblock. To use the probe multiblock for cosmic signatures, one must have a magazine with scanner probes in it and right click twice with a clock to prep the multiblock, which takes about 15 seconds. After this, the player can fire off probes with a 2-second cooldown between probes. This will show a text in chat indicating if there are any signatures within the range of your scanning and the location of the signatures. Shown below is an image of what you can expect for an output from your scanner after you launch a probe.
[[File:Scanner Probe Output.png|thumb|This is the output of the scanner probe.]]

Hyperdrive

2026-06-27T02:06:59Z

Eyrzeke:

'''Hyperdrives''' allow a starship to enter hyperspace and travel vast distances quickly. They can be detected with the sign text [hyperdrive].

Two [[chetherite]] must be in each hopper of the hyperdrive to jump. The chetherite is consumed upon a successful jump. If there is not enough chetherite, the ship will fail to jump.

Larger hyperdrives consume more chetherite (as they have more hoppers), and take longer to warm up, but also have a faster travel time in hyperspace. Hyperdrive warm up times can be reduced by owning [[Siege Stations]].

A [[Navigation Computer]] is required for most ships to enter hyperspace.

Afterburners provide plenty of acceleration and speed in a small package but are less efficient than other thrusters. They are typically the best thruster for most applications.

The magma block can be any [[Thruster Block|thruster block]].

The Vask Authority was founded from the second iteration of the [[Andurian Federation]] when it was inherited by the warlord [[FellOffBridge]], who sought to create an improved version of the pirate nation [[RentDueYesterday]]. It is now a shadow of its former self after a majority of founding members were removed from the server, but still remains a prominent piracy force.

Following an outbreak in conflict between the [[Andurian Federation]], [[Imperial Nova]] and [[Arimfea]], [[FellOffBridge]], who was secretly commanding [[Andurian Federation]] forces chose to fabricate being kicked out of [[Vega]] to assume control of the Federation from the current King [[_Clone1137]] when the aforementioned conflict ended to form the Vask Authority, which would become an ally of [[Vega]]. The Vask Authority established the station [[Apollyon]], which would function as its main base and house the first, third and forth [[battlecruiser]]s created on HE, alongside [[Callisto]], a forward operating base owned by [[z4nityy]]. Once on its fleet, members of the nation then began pirating one by one after construction of the station was complete, starting with [[z4nityy]], [[DearGhost]], [[_Clone1137]] and finally [[FellOffBridge]]. The nation has spent most of its lifespan in conflict with the [[Ilios Alliance]]. After all active players other than [[z4nityy]] were removed from the server, z4nityy inherited the Vask Authority and continues to pirate to this day.

== Claims ==

=== Haytham Shore ===
Haytham Shore is a territory on Vask belonging to the Vask Authority. The territory houses a base, and borders Vasost.

=== Ikaria Saltlake East ===
Ikaria Saltlake East on Aret contains half of the Ikaria Saltlake. Historically, the claim housed a giant pyramid, which was deleted by staff.

=== Samet Island ===
Samet Island on Lioda contains an abandoned city project, by AdelieXY.

==Cities==
===Current===

==== settlement ====
{{Main|settlement (settlement)}}
The settlement settlement remains mostly empty, as its leader [[z4nityy]] resides in space, it is nonetheless the capital city of the Vask Authority.

==== ohdear ====
ohdear is a settlement belonging to player Juuliett.

=== Former ===

==== Druskelle ====
{{Main|Druskelle}}
Druskelle used to be the settlement of Clone1137 during his time in the Vask Authority, before it was given to the nation Vega.

==== Yakuza ====
{{Main|Yakuza}}
Yakuza was once the settlement of DearGhost before he was banned.

==== MakaValley ====
MakaValley was a member of Vask Authority until July 13, 2024.

==== ValleyAuthority ====
ValleyAuthority, belonging to GriffMinester, purged on September 5, 2024.

==Stations==
===Apollyon===
{{Main|Apollyon}}
Apollyon was designed and created primarily by [[FellOffBridge]] to house the Vask Authority's fighting force, it was the first major station established by the Vask Authority and the sixth major station to be created on HE. The station also served to house the majority of the Vask Authority fleet, pilots and directors. It is currently under the ownerrship of [[z4nityy]], and still houses the remaining Vask Authority supercapitals: the [[battlecruiser]] "CALAMITY" and the [[cruiser]] "HMS MOGGERTRON", along with the Vask Authority flagship, the [[destroyer]] "Patrick".

===Callisto===
Callisto was the second station created by the Vask Authority, designed by [[z4nityy]] to house the nation's starfighter fleet and serve as his personal forward operating base.

===Athena===
Athena was inherited by the Vask Authority through all its predecessors, originally being created by [[_Clone1137]] during the first iteration of the [[Andurian Federation]]. It served as a temporary base of operations and was where the first [[battlecruiser]], "[[ARMAGEDDON]]", was constructed. It remains largely abandoned.

===Osric===
The newest Vask Authority station currently under construction, created by [[z4nityy]] to be the largest station on HE, and was intended to replace Apollyon's role as the nation's main base. It was also created to house new recruits in a plan devised by [[FellOffBridge]] and [[z4nityy]] that fell through when the former was banned.

= Politics =
Vask Authority is a highly aggressive nation, allying itself only with [[Vega]]'s bloc. The Vask Authority would pick fights with anyone, regardless of size or strength, using its highly competent military pilots and large fleet to attack any other nation outside its allies, rarely, if ever, offering terms of surrender. The Vask Authority would exchange resources, ship design theory and blueprints with [[Vega]] for the betterment of the two nations, which allowed the Vask Authority to create supercapitals and go toe to toe with galaxy-wide alliances.

The Vask Authority would also call upon [[Vega]] for military aid if it was desperately needed, but due to the Vask Authority being able to hold its own most of the time and the stigma around [[Vega]] and its overwhelming strength, this only happened once during the [[Battle of Asteri]], resulting in a landslide victory.

'''Imperial Nova''', or '''Nova''', was a large military-focused nation on Horizon's End. It has since morphed into [[Vikyria]].

Imperial Nova was a founding member of the [[Horizon Federation]], and were associated with the [[Ilios Alliance]] during the war.
They are notable for their aggressive negotiation strategies and militaristic nature. Imperial Nova is also very notable for their unconventional white-hulled starships, and is one of the oldest nations on the server.

Imperial Nova had a sharp increase in wealth during the [[Long Peace]] after the [[Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War]] with help from [[Pryvyd]].

Imperial Nova has a very large military, as they are a military focused nation.

It is believed that Nova at one point had a fleet of 3 [[Battlecruisers]]. However, two of these are confirmed to be destroyed, this includes: The NIF Repentance; destroyed in the [[Battle of Skull Crusher's Barge]], and the NIF Absolution; destroyed in the [[Battle of Presidia Alenarith]]. They have however hinted at the possibility of more Battlecruisers having been constructed aside from the known 3, however this is not confirmed.

'''Lonestar''' is a [[nation]] on [[Horizon's End]]. It is best known for its [[starship]] designs, general neutrality, and friendliness towards new players. The nation's capital is the [[settlement]] [[texas]], the heart of its ship production.

Lonestar usually enjoys high player activity and political stability, and paired with its focus on independence, its community in game and on discord alike are both typically active.

== History ==
Founded on October 19th 2024 by [[SIG130]], lonestar is a large faction with a balanced economy and military. Its capital, texas, dedicated itself to recruiting and training new players. After a brief period as an autonomous member of [[Radiance]], texas became independent and founded a nation grounded in neutrality. Its current leader is eyrzeke, the original founder of texas.

Since its founding, Lonestar has balanced itself around military and industrial growth. Lonestar forces have participated in a number of anti-piracy engagements as well as starship construction for clients ranging from larger factions to individual entrepreneurs.

=== Corporatization Era ===
On December 1, 2024, leadership of lonestar was passed to [[XiJinping]]. He implemented sweeping reforms, including a rapid militarization effort, the production of a modernized war fleet, cessation of active Texas recruitment in favor of settlement recruitment, the initialization of a supercapital program, and the full subsidization of lonestar member settlements Aarmance and Elodia (which began a trend away from independent settlement development toward centralization). This period would also see the establishment of lonestar's current corporate identity, with the establishment of the seat of the Chairman, the Executive Panel, and the Secretariat. Aarmance governor Gvazdika would then be appointed to the Executive Panel, marking the first time a member of a settlement outside of Texas held a leadership position in a nation that had been overwhelmingly dominated by it up to that point.

On January 5, 2025, Lonestar entered into its first short-lived formal alliance with [[Ekatera]] to exchange engineering assistance on Altar Sanctorium for Ekatera's time in printing Lonestar's freighter fleets. Shortly thereafter, [[Vega]] declared war on Ekatera over the issue of a seizure of a freighter used by the Vega citizen LeMaire. Lonestar attempted to diplomatically intervene, but could not mediate an agreement between the parties. Frustration with the handling of the situation and the risk the war posed to noncombatant Lonestar personnel led to Lonestar beginning a siege of [[Kovfefe]] against Ekatera on January 7, 2025, marking Lonestar's entry into the [[Vega-Ekatera War]].

In late January, [[Sovrah]] would join Lonestar after having been a member of [[Imperial Nova]], which also resulted in the transfer of Sovrah's Repentance-class [[Battlecruiser]]. This marked the first Battlecruiser in possession of a Lonestar pilot, though it would later be scrapped on Febuary 23rd, 2025. Around the same time, the Nexus Affair would occur as part of the Vega-Ekatera War; following this event, [[Berx]] would become a subsidized Lonestar member settlement. Berx and Elodia would later merge into Olympus, located at the site of former [[Starfall]].

On March 5th, Sovrah would finalize the printing of the first home-brewed Lonestar Battlecruiser in survival, the Veyron class.

On March 19th, 2025, Chairmanship of Lonestar was transferred to WanderingOtter, and Hextagon was made advisor. Later the same day, Lonestar CursedSaturn killed server director Gutin in ground combat.

March 19th marked the end of the corporatization era. It had been characterized by the end of the old texas and its perception as a "noob settlement," pretextual warfare, alignment with the Vega bloc, aggressive military-industrial growth, and strong centralization.

=== Reconstruction Era ===
After the Solar War ended in January 2026, LoneStar entered a period of active reconstruction and internal change as several prominent members departed. Around this same period, many of the executives of LoneStar retired, creating a major shift in leadership and organization before the later promotions of newer figures within the faction.

During the Solar War, YourPalNova of Elysium joined LoneStar on November 20, 2025. However, in March 2026, they left LoneStar, and Abu_42069_ became the new Emperor of Orlandia in Imperial Nova. This marked the beginning of a new era for LoneStar, focused on internal restructuring. Around the same period, Twile would also eventually leave in April 2026.

Earlier, in March 2025, Ruinati0n left Alabama to reform NewCoruscant, merging several smaller settlements together to create a medium-sized hub that would continue growing in later months. At the same time, Elysium experienced a rise in player activity and influence.

This period became known as the Elysium–NewCoruscant Era because both settlements emerged as major centers of activity and leadership within the community. While Texas and Farpoint continued to lead the nation politically and economically, Elysium and NewCoruscant increasingly acted as the primary residential hubs for the growing player base.

In May 2026, YourPalNova was promoted to Executive, while Ruinati0n became Secretarist. As leaders of their respective settlements, both played major roles in developing and guiding these expanding player communities.

In June 2026, the Director role was created in Lonestar as a matter of internal restructuring.

== Politics ==
Rather than a conventional nation with a political governing body, lonestar asserts itself as more of a quasi-confederation (a union of independent states or entities that join for common goals) wherein the member settlements of lonestar are generally independent in their own pursuits, but come together as one unit when pursuing alliances, conflict, and a sense of community.

Lonestar's leader, the Chairman, has full and unilateral control over diplomacy; however, usually he will accept input from Executives and especially Advisors when making important decisions. The Chairman and indeed the entire leadership of lonestar are granted no authority to make financial decisions that impact other settlements without their consent, such as taxes; this goes against lonestar's tenent of individualism.Rather than a nation with a political governing body, Lonestar is an interstellar megacorporation that subsidizes small, local governments which are largely permitted to act autonomously so long as the corporation is able to bring some profit from their success. Lonestar’s leadership is composed of the Chairman as well as the Executive Panel. The Lonestar Executives in turn act largely without outside interference or requirements of approval within their spheres of influence, provided their enterprises bring profit to the corporation. The rest of Lonestar is made up of the secretariat, debt-collecting corporate enforcers, engineers, and various interns.

In dealings with the various nations of Horizon's End, Lonestar tends to act with neutrality--continuing the Texas tradition of neutrality and independence--or taking the course of action that brings it the most profit. It is even willing to engage in business deals with pirates, provided those pirates do not engage in any hostilities toward the Lonestar corporate fleet.

== Claims==
Aarmance, an under-construction city settlement located on Aerach's Tulip Shores

Olympus, a black and pearlescent city built on Qatra's Oroduin Caldera, formerly known as Starfall

Texas, a parking lot and corporate vault located in Vask's Floro Mountains. The current center of lonestar's starship production.

NewCoruscant, a sprawling Star Wars themed brutalist city, sprawling with player activity, located on Illius in the Micle Forest.

Elysium, is an intricate city port side city filled with life with a roman inspired Roman name.

Leafside, was a fresh settlement of new players located on Aerach's Kran's Island Minor.

== Former Claims ==
Palmyra, named after the namesake ancient city filled with intact ai ships located on Aerach's Ardea Ocean. This was converted into Illinois.

Hargeysa, a dummy settlement for the under construction HIS Magnum heavy interplanetary station.

Illinois, an industrialized factory settlement mostly fitted with supercapital core production facilities.

ArchZenith, a philosophical area located at Lone Mathur, Krio.

== Military ==
Lonestar's military doctrine focuses heavily on outnumbering and outmaneuvering opponents on the battlefield, with an emphasis on less expensive ships, moderate training across many pilots, and balanced fleet compositions to nullify the drawbacks of a generally lower skill level.

[[Zekeship|Zekeships]] are the core of lonestar's military. Lonestar forces often use specially modified mil-spec "navy issue" variants, which boast better armor and firepower than their standard counterparts. Even with such modifications, though, navy issue zekeships are still much cheaper than most faction contenders.
