The '''Anthill''' is a settlement located in the Ionian Rise North on the planet [[Aret]]. It is currently owned and run by [[Consue]] in the nation of [[Cortesia Del Mar]]''',''' with the aspiration of one day gaining trade city status.

Anthill was once the settlement [[Amcar]] (more formerly Ionia) and served as the capital of the [[Amcaran Social Republic]] and [[New Amcar]] until their dissolution.

(Page can be finished by whoever, simply added enough so that there was something here)

= Entomology =
The original name for the settlement was Ionia, based on the name of the territory Ionian Rise North. However Vortexion suggested to [[NoContextGiven]] to change the name to avoid unwanted confusion and attention. The name was thus changed to Amcar based on Aret Mining Corporation rooted in the settlements founding lore. Under the Amcaran Social Republic and especially under New Amcar it became increasingly necessary to distinguish the various settlements from the nation and the capital proper. The nickname Anthill was adopted due to the bases location on a prominent mountain, the increasing complex rooms, shafts and corridors and its socialist hard working populace. When Amcar was deemed dead and buried at the end of New Amcar, Consue ratified the name Anthill to maintain its history.

Ionian Rise North was claimed on 18th of April 2022. The base developed into a modest mining outpost consisting of a landing pad, a plaza, the Troika tower and a mess of tunnels including a bombing panic room and the old consul room where the UN meeting was hosted. A starfigher hanger was later added as a response to frequent bombing runs from [[Vulnere]]. The base had the bare minimum of industry, including a haphazard array of power furnaces that players would have to gingerly walk over the bare rock mountain to get to and smaller planet miners. Around this time the beginnings of the Trench was dug out which served as a semi underground hangar and entrance for planet miners, the underside would be continued to be carved out that by spring 2024 over a third under the Anthill was a empty pit. During this time the settlement also experienced a purge on 3 November 2022. In the intervening hours the base was sacked and much of its technology stolen. The settlement also had limited fleet capacity with only 1 or 2 corvettes serving as flagships in the latter months and members mostly fielding shuttles to light freighters.

Near the end of January 2023 [[Consue]] joined the settlement and started to make steady changes. She starting to work on a completely overhauled design for the base, this is when the Anthill overall philosophy started to shift into technological efficiency and involved engineering married with visual elegance to the point of vanity. The first of these stages was a overhauled round trip auto sorted storage, a onmi ship printer, new hangars for gunships and corvette and ramped up resource gathering. This was done in tandem with designing newer and larger trade ships earning a signature anthill style to the fleet as well as a plans for a fortress.

While drafting up these plans the political situation at the Anthill evolved. The ASR as dissolved into [[Orovika]] to take advantage of the larger nations stations and resources on paper while Amcar remained a solid social community block. Tensions also rose about conflicting plans and commitments which lead to the leave and foundation of [[Arion]]. By the end of May 2023 the plans for the central fortress where finalized and ready to be built in survival. In the process of construction Consue became frustrated with the Orovikan material policies and assistance. In the Anthillian perspective, Orovika was nothing more than a louse collation of settlements sharing station benefits and piracy protection pacts, little direct aid came into Anthill from the bloc. The fact that the nation had a non existent presence in regulus (it was the "vipers pit" after all) also lent to the feeling of isolation.

This led to Consue to turn to the [[Orlandia]], neighboring city on Aret managed by [[Imperial Nova]], for aid whom responded with many boons including new warship designs for the settlement (a 4k and and the Kraken) and steady supply of natural resources. However the Novans shaky neutrality policy meant that the Anthill was soon thrust into the [[Alliance of Regulus-Vega War]]. The central fortress of the anthill was fully bult by mid of July 2023 but the constant sieges from [[Vega]] as a result from the war caused the settlement to enter into a 5 mouth period of dormancy.

Vegapocalypse

Consue:

'''"The Vegapocalypse"''' is a term used to refer to a hypothetical major military conflict, involving [[Vega]] attacking a majority of the rest of [[Horizon's End]].

== History ==

The term was coined by [[NovaManGood2110]] of the [[Horizon Federation]] in the late days of the [[Horizon Federation-RentDueYesterday War]]. NovaManGood2110 describes,
It started when I was schitzo ''[sic]'' ranting about an upcoming war to [[AdelieXY|adelie]]
because I saw vega ramping up war production and pushing combat related updates

The term itself is a direct reflection of the experiences of the [[Horizon Federation-RentDueYesterday War#Activity Crisis & Vegan Drop-Out | Activity Crisis]]. That the involvement of Vega, backed by advantageous combat updates such as the introduction [[Supercapital|supercapitals]] would ruin the server. The term was thus commonly used as a counterweight whenever the question of combat came up and supercapitals themselves where viewed with a great deal of scrutiny and suspicion.

While no large-scale conflict involving [[Vega]] has occurred since the coining of this term ([[AssassinXX]] of Vega states, "saying it already happened would be misinformation"), some players on the server, including [[NovaManGood2110]] himself, believe that the [[Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War]] constituted the closest thing to a "Vegapocalypse" to occur on Horizon's End in 2024, as [[Vask Authority]] was given substantial material backing (and [[Battle of Asteri|one singular case of direct military intervention]] from Vega to prosecute war against the [[Ilios Alliance]], who composed the majority of the server's [[colonist]]s and [[privateer]]s.

== Legacy ==

In modern times, the threat of a "Vegapocalypse" is not held to be as prominent as it was in early 2024, on account of the [[Long Peace]]. Instead, the term is typically used in a humorous fashion, and is often parodied by other nations (ex. "Novapocalypse", "Cortesiapocalypse", etc).

[[Solesey]] of Vega states, "vegapocalypse is just a thing [[Horizon Federation|you guys]] invented and then we started pretending it was real to scare you guys".
