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.

	=== ~~The Two Pillars~~ ===		=== 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.

	This period became known as the ~~“Two Pillars Era”~~ because both settlements emerged as major centers of activity and leadership within the community.

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.

	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]].

	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.
