Battle for NewCoruscant

Intro

The Battle of New Coruscant went down on the Horizon’s End server right after the faction leader Thrawn31 got banned. Because of the ban, the rest of The Galactic Empire (TGE) was set to get automatically purged by the server in late Febuary. Players literally calculated the exact countdown timer down to the minute so everyone could be ready for the drop.

This battle became legendary not just for the insane scramble to claim the territory and loot the vaults, but because a massive fight over a gameplay exploit permanently changed how the server works.

Setting the Stage & The Scramble

As the countdown ticked away, everyone jumped into position to grab the capital city. Two main sides clashed during the purge:

• The United Federation of Planets (UFP) Delegation: A massive group that stepped in to fight off rivals and help clean up the city. They wanted to make sure the capital actually went to players who would use it and build it up. The lineup included killerdog666 (UFP), Vigo, and KingSheep.
• Abu (the Emperor of Imperial Nova,
• Lonestar: Hexagon (Lonestar), and Ruinati0n (Lone Star).
• z4nity: A solo player who was trying to sweep in and take the entire TGE claim solely for himself.

Different Goals in the Alliance

While the whole delegation wanted to stop z4nity, people had different jobs. killerdogs666 was mostly there for the massive stockpiles of resources left behind in the TGE vaults, focusing heavily on securing all that loot.

Meanwhile, Abu and Ruination were the ones hunkered down directly in the bunker, fighting tooth and nail to hold the line and lock down the actual land claim.

The Dog Army Strategy

Right in the middle of the chaos, Ruination dropped off to recruit a massive army of dogs specifically meant for land PvP. Even though this army never really got utilized in the actual fight, the whole idea of a canine defense force was a central part of the strategy while trying to capture TGE and protect the ground.

The Battle & The Y-Height Exploit

When the timer finally hit zero and the city opened up, a brutal confrontation started. But z4nity pulled a move that completely blindsided everyone: he flew straight up into the sky all the way to Y3000, sitting safely above the entire battle where nobody could touch him while trying to secure the claim.

Everyone on the ground thought this was completely unfair. During the heat of the battle, a player filed a formal bug report with the staff about it. The admins agreed, and they quickly added a brand new feature to the server: if you go above Y380, you now take rapid suffocation damage. The entire reason players suffocate high in the sky on Horizon's End today is because of the bug report filed during this exact fight for TGE's capital.

Aftermath: The Trade City Era & Political Reform

Despite z4nity sitting at Y3000 and all the stress of the countdown, the delegation held the line from the bunker. Through all the struggles and worries, Abu managed to successfully click the claim and take over TGE's capital.

The Double Emperor

Because Abu was already the Emperor of Imperial Nova, taking the TGE capital meant he was simultaneously running two empires. This earned him the legendary nickname "The Double Emperor," a title he held for about a week.

Passing the Torch to Lone Star

After a week, Abu gifted the entire city to his old friend Ruination from Lone Star. Ruination took over full leadership of New Coruscant and completely changed its direction. He completely dismantled the old, militaristic ideas of the Galactic Empire to build something fresh.

Founding of the Jedi Order & Democratic Future

To replace the old imperial regime, Ruinati0n established the Jedi Order as a core institution for the new society. He appointed GunningBanana as the Jedi Grandmaster, who now oversees the development and fulfillment of the Order.

Politically, the city is transitioning into a peaceful Republic, though the democratic body is currently on an interim hold. Because the city is still actively under construction, formal governance is paused; however, as soon as the build is fully finished and secured, official elections will be held, and government offices will officially open up to players.

To bring this bright and better future to life, Ruinati0n brought over a fresh delegation of Lone Star players. He started sub-delegating tasks to his crew, getting everyone to work on finishing the build and transforming the old capital into a massive, booming Trade City.
