Lonestar is a nation on Horizon's End. It is best known for its starship production, neutrality, and friendliness towards new players. The nation's capital is the settlement texas.
History[edit | edit source]
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 XiJinping_, the president of China itself.
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.
On December 1, 2024, leadership of lonestar was passed to XiJinping_. He quickly began to implement sweeping reforms, most notably including a rapid militarization effort, the production of a modernized war fleet, cessation of active Texas recruitment, the initialization of a supercapital program, and the full subsidization of lonestar member settlements Aarmance and Elodia, as well as appointing Aarmance governor Gvazdika to the Lonestar Executive Panel.
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.
Politics[edit | edit source]
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. At the head of Lonestar is the Chairman, who largely acts unilaterally--the Chairman's decisions require no approval. However, the Chairman generally accepts input and advice from the Executive Panel, currently comprised of Eyrzeke, SIG130, Hextagon, Gvazdika, Veloquent, and Quart_zy. 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.

Elodia, a factory settlement located on Luxiterna's Atlas Slopes

Bluescreen, an asteroid station in the Ilios System
Akiba, a factory station and shipyard in the Ilios System and the current Chairman XiJinping_'s seat of power
Military[edit | edit source]
Lonestar fields a respectable military. Its fleet is composed of numerous custom-designed advanced warships, as well as the less sophisticated but more economically viable “zekeships.” Little is known or will be disclosed about it beyond this, save that it is unfazed by the loss of ships as large as destroyers. Nonstandard ships of its fleet have no prefix, but standard-issue modern warships produced at Akiba for the Debt Collection Fleet use the "A.C.S." prefix, for "Akiba Collector Ship."
