History

Damkoth Blockade

The Horizon's End survival server opened to the public on 4 April 2022, after <how much time?> of anticipation by the player-base following the closure of StarLegacy. The very same day, Vandrayk, leader of the Echelon Caliphate (a successor to Vega on StarLegacy) announced a blockade of the planet Damkoth, which was host to Echelon's chief operating center of New Baker Street and was the primary source of Chetherite on the server (followed up by Luxiterna):

Damkoth Blockade

Until further notice effective as of this morning, Damkoth is under a strict blockade by the Echelon caliphate. All chetherite mined on Damkoth is now subsidized and under Echelon control.

Upon no circumstances will chetherite be mined while an Echelon member is online without swift military action. Upon entering the planet, you will be asked to leave. This will be your only warning.

Any refusal of this order will result in your death and loss of items.

Due to combat not being enabled yet, we are under a verbal blockade, any refusal of said orders will result in your name being logged and marked for termination by an Echelon or Vulnere operatives until we feel that our stolen chetherite has been repaid in full.

Timeline of Events

Legacy

The Cheth Wars are broadly understood to have caused extreme damage to the Horizon's End player-base, 'filtering out' a large portion of StarLegacy veterans who attempted to play the server in its early days. Per NovaManGood2110, "more people quit from the cheth war than the RDY war and VA war combined".

-Due to extreme resource scarcity, and also limited understanding of [[SvS]], there was a lot of diversity among ship designs, and a lot of combat was experimental.

-Of all wars, this war had the most combatants, it had the most battles, and it caused the most players to quit permanently.
