'''yodabird19''' is an active player on [[Horizon's End]] and the Minister of Security of [[Cortesia Del Mar]]. He is known for [[Setra Maria|building]], [[Woolworths Production Complex|technical expertise]], [[Ilios Alliance|political activity]], and [[SvS]] skill [[Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War#500 block Gunships|specializing in the smallest ship classes in the game]]. Formerly a [[StarLegacy]] veteran in 2018-2019, yodabird19 returned to activity on Horizon's End in July 2023; he has played continually with [[Cortesia Del Mar]] for nearly 8 years.

= Known For =
=== Cortesia Del Mar ===
==== Political Leadership ====
yodabird19 served as the President of [[Cortesia Del Mar]] from its establishment on Horizon's End in December 2023 until stepping down in October 2024. He now serves as the Minister of Security. 
yodabird's Presidency saw Cortesia advance to become one of the strongest nations on Horizon's End.
==== Setra Maria ====
The city of [[Setra Maria]], the capital of Cortesia Del Mar, is yodabird19's primary place of residence. Several sections of the city are partially credited to yodabird, including the districts of Concord Heights, Setra Maria North, Witda Lane, and the Ramp. 
yodabird also developed much of Setra Maria's distinguishing infrastructure network, including its iceboat tunnels and cross-planet pipe system.
==== Woolworths Production Complex ====
yodabird19, alongside [[_s1ice]], designed the [[Woolworths Production Complex]], which [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtpP1EJTsKs he describes as] "the most advanced factory ever on Horizon's End or StarLegacy". He was also heavily involved in printing it on the survival server.
=== Ilios Alliance ===
==== Radiance Revolution ====
When the nation of [[Radiance]] emerged as a result of the internal dysfunction of its predecessor [[Shadow]], yodabird19 released a statement the same evening on behalf of Cortesia Del Mar, recognizing Radiance as "the legitimate, direct, and sole successor to the nation of Shadow (2020-2024), and the inheritor of all of its assets, obligations, and entitlements". He provided extensive direct material and advisory support to the still-recovering Radiance, aiding their recovery and development into a major power in what he described as a "Marshall Plan-like" intervention.
==== Miami Station ====
yodabird19 was the largest non-[[Imperial Nova|Novan]] contributor to the production of Miami Station, donating & manually placing approximately 714,000 credits worth of materials for the station. Miami is now the primary base of operations of Imperial Nova.
==== Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War ====
yodabird19 was one of the most active combatants in the [[Ilios Alliance]] during the [[Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War]] of June-July 2024.
* He orchestrated the 24-hour defense (of which 5 hours actually occurred) of [[FellOffBridge]]'s abandoned [[battlecruiser]] at the Asteri Cargo Depot [[siege station]] in [[Asteri]], which led to the historic [[Battle of Asteri]].
* He is credited with popularizing the use of the 500-block [[gunship]] subclass, which substantially altered the balance of the war in favor of the Ilios Alliance in its latter weeks.
=== Horizon's End Community ===
Towards the end of 2024 and start of 2025, Yoda bird took it upon himself to get involved in recruiting new players through various means, notably Reddit posts
==== Vask Authority Leak ====
{{main|Vask Authority Leak}}
In early August 2024, yodabird19 obtained incriminating chat logs from a [[Vask Authority]] discord channel, from which he presented findings to the community on August 4. This event led to the permanent bans of [[FellOffBridge]], [[_Clone1137]], and [[Vandrayk]].
==== Server Promotion & Recruitment ====
Since stepping down from the Cortesian presidency, yodabird19 has done extensive work to promote Horizon's End and improve its retention rates of both old and new players, including:
* Posting weekly Sunday Reddit advertisements on r/mcservers to bring new people to the server.
* Substantial work setting up the Horizon's End wiki, and porting the contents of the old (wiki.js) Horizon's End wiki to the new one.

Gregolegomonkey: /* Multiblock Merging */

'''Multiblocks''' are functional structures consisting of multiple blocks in a specific pattern. A multiblock will not function if any block in the structure is broken or destroyed by an explosion, though it will resume function if the missing blocks are replaced.

=Multiblock Merging=
[[File:multiblockmerge powerbank.png|thumb|Six merged powerbanks, allowing for greater power storage while using fewer diamond blocks and less space.]]

Multiblocks that contain similar block pattern configurations can share blocks, with all merged multiblocks retaining their function regardless of type. Multiblock merging is commonly used to reduce the total block count used by multiblocks on ships, to make more compact factories, and build more multiblocks at a discounted [[resource]] cost.

Signs are the only components of a multiblock that cannot be shared between two multiblocks; each multiblock must have its own sign to function.

[[Harvesters]] and [[Planters]] are multiblocks that can be merged with themselves, although merging them reduces the farm-able area of each multiblock, requiring nearly twice as many multiblocks to cover the same area.

===Example: Navcomputer-Thruster Merge===
[[File:multiblockmerge navcomputer.png|thumb|A merged navcomputer, shield, plasma cannon, and several afterburners and ion thrusters, seen from the front and rear.]]

[[Afterburners]] and an [[Advanced Navigation Computer]] are commonly merged on small [[starships]] to reduce total material costs and the number of blocks used in multiblocks, freeing up additional space for concrete or block count for additional armor. The six iron blocks on the rear sides of the navcomputer are used as a starting point to add sponges, gold blocks, and light blocks to create afterburners, while two more afterburners can be created on the top and bottom by adding a gold block and light block, sharing an iron block and sponge with the navcomputer.

Additionally, the top iron block and sponge can be used to create a [[0.8 Particle Shield]] by adding the appropriate glass blocks and sign on top, and a furnace can be added to the front to create a [[Plasma Cannon]]. The sponges on the rear of the navcomputer can be used to create [[Ion Thrusters]] by adding a valid light emitting thruster block.

This example configuration saves 8 iron blocks, 10 sponges, and reduces the total block count by 14 compared to a configuration that does not utilize multiblock merging.

[[File:Vesta.jpeg|thumb|The Vesta [[shuttle]] is the most common [[starter ship]] used by new players on Horizon's End.]]

'''Starships''' are the main form of transportation on Horizon's End.

They can be custom built by players or purchased from a [[Ship Dealer]], and can carry items and [[cargo crates]], mine [[asteroids]] in space or on [[planets]], and engage in [[SvS]] combat with other player built ships and NPC-controlled [[AI Ships]].

=Starship Classes=
Starships must be assigned a class which dictates their block count, characteristics, and performance at different tasks.

A ship can only be constructed using certain blocks. A list of blocks that a starship can be built with is available at the [https://github.com/HorizonsEndMC/Ion/blob/main/server/src/main/kotlin/net/horizonsend/ion/server/features/starship/FlyableBlocks.kt Horizon's End github].

==Civilian Ship Classes==
'''Civilian ships''' are used for carrying [[Cargo Crates]] and mining [[asteroids]] using [[Mining Lasers]], and can carry vast quantities of items.

Civilian ships require at least 25% of total blocks as concrete to be detected.

Indicated statistics on the table below are for a ship of the maximum size for its class. Ships that are below the maximum size for its class can carry fewer cargo crates and [[containers]], and can fire fewer [[weapons]] and support fewer [[shields]].

Light Freighters, Medium Freighters, and Heavy Freighters can fire 1 [[Heavy Laser]] in addition to other weaponry. Civilian ships have weaker shields than warships of the same size.

There is not currently a civilian ship class that is 12,000 - 16,000 blocks in size.

==Warship Classes==
'''Warships''' are used in [[SvS]] combat against other players and NPC-controlled [[AI Ships]].

Warships require at least 30% of total blocks as concrete to be detected.

Indicated statistics on the table below are for a ship of the maximum size for its class. Ships that are below the maximum size for its class can fire fewer [[weapons]] and support fewer [[shields]].

===Crate Capacity===
Warships can carry half as many [[cargo crates]] and [[containers]] as a Civilian Ship of the same size. Battlecruisers cannot carry crates. Corvettes, Frigates, and Destroyers can use 1 [[T1 Mining Laser]].

===Weapon allowances===
Warships have a maximum number of weapons that they can fire simultaneously. This is not a limitation on how many weapons can be mounted on a ship. It is only a limitation in how many can be fired at the same time. (Example: a [[gunship]] may have six [[light turret]]s mounted, three on the top and three on the bottom, but only be able to actually fire one at a time)

==Other Ship Classes==
'''Speeders''' are small ships used for quick, short range transportation. '''Platforms''' are used for detecting and [[printing]] large builds using [[Ship Factories]].

Neither ship class requires concrete to detect, and they cannot use [[shields]], [[weapons]], [[hyperdrives]], [[mining lasers]], or [[starship gravity wells]]. Both ship classes can be detected [[oversize]] without any penalties.

Speeders can use [[starship drills]]. They cannot move by [[cruising]] or by [[direct control]], and cannot leave planets or go to space. 

Platforms cannot move at all.

=Starship Systems=
A starship's capabilities are determined by the [[multiblocks]] used in the construction of the starship.

==Weapons==
{{Main|Starship Weapons}}

'''Starship weapons''' are used to deal damage to other starships, players, and entities.

[[Light Weapons]] are fired by left clicking with a controller. Multiple light weapons can be fired at once if you are not using [[weaponsets]] and [[nodes]] to control which weapons fire.

[[Heavy Weapons]] are fired by right clicking with a controller after a brief charge-up delay. Only one type of heavy weapon can be fired at a time, so ships with multiple heavy weapons must control them using weaponsets and nodes.

Turrets can fire in any direction that they have line of sight in. All turrets except for the [[Tri Turret]] are light weapons. [[Light Turrets]], Tri Turrets, and [[Point Defense Turrets]] can automatically fire on player or ship targets designated using <code>/settarget [node] [player]</code> or <code>/st [node] [player]</code>. Point Defense Turrets are light weapons and cannot be fired manually.

Some weapons such as [[Plasma Cannons]], [[Interceptor Cannons]], and [[Torpedoes]], can only fire forwards. The direction of fire for these weapons is the opposite of the direction of maximum thrust.

Players take 5 hearts of true damage when hit with any starship weapon.

==Shields==
{{Main|Particle Shields}}

'''Shields''' are used to absorb incoming weapons fire and prevent explosions from damaging a ship.

The number, strength, and recharge rate of a starship's shields is determined by ship class.

The amount of damage a shield takes is determined by the [[blast resistance]] of the block a projectile impacts. [[Blasters]], with the exception of the [[Blaster Cannon]], cannot damage a starship's shields.

==Thrusters==
{{Main|Thrusters}}

'''Thrusters''' are the primary source of propulsion for starships, and are required to [[cruise]] and fly in [[direct control]]. Thrusters add speed and acceleration in the direction that they are pointing. Applying thrust to one or multiple sides of a ship is possible.

A thruster's exhaust path may not be blocked by any block of the active starship at any distance, with the exception of one glass block or glass pane with no space in between.

==Hyperdrives & Navigation Computers==

[[Hyperdrives]] and [[Navigation Computers]] allow a starship to rapidly travel through hyperspace.

A starship can enter hyperspace by moving into the range of a [[Jump Gate]] or by using <code>/jump</code>. Two pieces of [[Chetherite]] per hyperdrive hopper are consumed when entering hyperspace.

A starship's hyperspace travel speed is determined by its hyperdrive tier, with higher tiers traveling faster while consuming more chetherite. A starship's hyperspace jump range is determined by its navigation computer tier and starship class.

==Starship Gravity Wells==
{{Main|Starship Gravity Well}}

A '''starship gravity well''' disables hyperspace travel within its radius while active, and causes ships in hyperspace to enter real space when they pass through the area of the generated [[gravity well]].

The cruise speed of ships in the gravity well's area can be temporarily reduced by 20% by pulsing an active starship gravity well, consuming two [[chetherite]] items.

The range of a starship gravity well is determined by a starship's size and class.

==Mining Equipment==
[[Mining Lasers]] and [[Starship Drills]] can be mounted on starships and used to mine [[asteroids]] in space and on [[planets]], respectively.

The number and tier of mining lasers that can be used is determined by starship class.

The number of starship drills that a player can have active at one time is limited to 16. There are no restrictions on the number or tier of starship drills present on a starship.

=Starship Concepts=
The following concepts are important for understanding starship behavior in Horizon's End.

==Ship Computer==
[[File:ship computer.png|thumb|A ship computer.]]

A '''ship computer''' is a block (jukebox) on a starship where the main controls of a ship are accessed.

All interactions with a ship computer occur while holding a controller (clock).

Only one jukebox can be the active starship computer of a starship. Multiple non-starship jukeboxes may be present, but all activated jukeboxes on a starship must be owned by its pilot.

===Ship Computer Functions===
[[File:ship computer gui.png|thumb|The ship computer interface, accessed by left clicking a ship computer while holding a controller.]]
*'''Redetect''': Redefines what blocks are considered part of the starship.
*'''Add pilot''': Lets another player pilot the starship. Type the new pilot's username in chat.
*'''Change starship type''': Changes the starship type. A redetect is required afterwards.
*'''Lock starship''': Prevents the starship from being broken up or flown by players not on the pilot list. The lock takes five minutes to activate, during which the ship may be broken into. To clarify, it is illegal to steal a locked ship in unclaimed land, space, or in safe zones; if a locked ship is present within your claim, notify a staff member to unlock the ship for you or use the Take Ownership function.
*'''Take ownership''': Adds the player to the list of pilots. Only [[settlement]] owners, [[nation]] leaders, and players given the TAKE_SHIP_OWNERSHIP permission by settlement and nation leaders can use this function.
*'''Change starship name''': Changes the starship name visible on /listships and in certain server events. Type the ship's new name in chat. Starship names can be formatted by [[Patreon donators]] using [https://docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/format.html formatting tags].

===Detecting & Piloting Starships===
{{Main|Piloting Guide}}

Follow these steps to detect and pilot your starship:
# Left click the ship computer (jukebox) while holding a controller (clock).
# Click the ghast tear item to open a menu where you can select your ship class. Click the desired class.
#* Some starship classes, such as the [[interceptor]], are subclasses of other ship classes. Right click the parent class, then select the subclass.
# Left click the clock item to re-detect your starship.
# Right click the ship computer while holding a controller to pilot your starship.
# Right click the ship computer again or use /release to stop flying and release your starship.

==Hull Integrity==
A starship's '''hull integrity''' is the percent of blocks out of 100 remaining on an active starship.

When a starship's hull integrity drops below 80%, it will sink, drifting and causing explosions that damage ships and players in its path. Exploded blocks of damaged starships will regenerate where they were exploded after 5 minutes.

When a [[Supercapital]] starship is destroyed, the central core block in its [[Supercapital Reactor]] will be permanently destroyed, causing a large explosion.

==Crate Capacity==
'''Crate capacity''' is the maximum number of [[crates]] that a ship can carry. Trade ships can carry crates (or sticky pistons) up to 0.015 * block count or sqrt(block count), whichever value is smaller. The switch occurs for ships around 4444 blocks.

A ship can detect with more sticky pistons than the maximum amount of crates it can carry, but it will not be able to carry additional crates. Ships cannot be detected with more crates than their limit.

Warships can mount half as many crates as a trade ship of the same size.

==Storage Capacity==
'''Storage Capacity''' is the maximum number of [[containers]] that a ship can carry.

Ships cannot be detected with more containers than their limit:
* Speeders have a storage capacity equal to 25% of their block count.
* Civilian ships have a storage capacity equal to 4.5% of their block count.
* Warships have a storage capacity equal to 2.5% of their block count.
* Platforms have no limit on the amount of containers they can pilot.

The storage capacity used by a container varies by container type, with one unit of storage capacity representing 9 inventory slots:
* Chests and barrels use 3 storage capacity each. A doublechest uses 6 storage capacity.
* Dispensers and droppers use 1 storage capacity per block.
* Hoppers use 1 storage capacity each.
* Ender chests do not use any storage capacity, but cannot be obtained in survival.

==Oversize Starships==
'''Oversizing''' is the act of detecting a ship with more blocks than the class allows, and is often used to tow multiple ships together.

Any ship can be detected with 10% more blocks than the maximum allowed for the class, with a 50% debuff to ship power to thruster acceleration, shields, and weapons. The debuff is the same for any block count above the limit for the class. [[Speeder]] and [[Platform]] ship classes can be detected as oversize ships without any penalties.

Oversize ships are able to carry extra chests, allowing oversize ships to have slightly more storage.

When detecting a ship, it will warn the player if the ship is oversize.

==Blast Resistance==
{{Main|Blast Resistance}}

The '''blast resistance''' of blocks affects the amount of damage that [[shields]] take and the strength of explosions when a shield is disabled.

A starship's hull should be constructed of armor blocks with high blast resistance such as stairs, slabs, walls, and terracotta, which have a modified blast resistance of 6.0. Core structural blocks such as concrete, which has a lower blast resistance of 1.8, cause shields to take more damage and explosions of unshielded blocks to be more powerful. Glass blocks and panes have a blast resistance of 5.0 and are often the only exterior weakpoints on a well-built starship.

==Power Modes==
'''Power modes''' can be used to change how power is allocated between three different systems in your ship:
*[[Thrusters]]: Acceleration (not maximum speed) in cruising and direct control
*[[Shields]]: Shield recharge rate
*[[Weapons]]: Weapon fire rate

You can change your power mode using <code>/pm (Shield Power) (Weapon Power) (Thruster Power)</code>. The numbers you input must add to 100. A system's power cannot be below 10 or above 50. You can assign these modes to a sign by writing <code>[powermode]</code> on a sign and setting the second, third, and fourth lines to your desired shield, weapon, and thruster power.

==Weaponsets==
{{Main|Weaponsets}}

'''Weaponsets''' and [[Nodes]] are used to control a player defined set of [[starship weapons]]. A player can only control one weaponset at a time. Each weaponset can control multiple [[light weapon]] types and one [[heavy weapon]] type.

Weaponsets that control nodes attached to [[Point Defense Turrets]], [[Light Turrets]], and [[Tri Turrets]] can automatically fire on player or ship targets designated using <code>/settarget [node] [player]</code> or <code>/st [node] [player]</code>.

Ship Building Guide

2025-04-16T00:26:21Z

Gregolegomonkey: copied over yoni's stuff from the starship page that doesn't belong there

The most basic of Starships is a platform that is comprised of 25 blocks of concrete, 74 blocks of any legal ship block, (all glass, terracotta, slabs, stairs, trapdoors, doors, redstone devices and any mineral blocks). And 1 jukebox

Such a ship will be able to fly and go back and forth between space and planets

However, it has 3 notable weaknesses

* It will not be able to protect you from suffocating in space
* It will not be able to jump through hyperspace
* It will have no shield

You can easily fix these problems by adding the multi-blocks of [[particle shield]], [[thruster]], [[navcomputer]] and [[hyperdrive]], and making your ship with a roof and walls to prevent suffocating

Gregolegomonkey:

[[File:cadiamemorial.png|thumb|ARMAGEDDON at the Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War Memorial in Cadia.]]

'''ARMAGEDDON''' was a [[battlecruiser]] owned by [[Vask Authority]]. It was the first battlecruiser printed and used in combat against other players, during the [[Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War]]. The ship was designed by [[FellOffBridge]].

==History==
ARMAGEDDON was constructed at [[Athena]] on 24 May 2024.

On 26 June 2024, ARMAGEDDON's pilot [[FellOffBridge]] released the ship in a siege station claim, prompting the [[Battle of Asteri]]. An [[Ilios Alliance]] fleet attempted to capture the ship by blockading the AsteriCargoDepot [[siege station]] until the siege window opened 22 hours later. ARMAGEDDON was recaptured by Vask Authority following an intervention by [[Vega]].

On 16 July 2024, ARMAGEDDON was [[Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War#Capture of ARMAGEDDON|captured]] by [[_omni]] in PvP combat against its pilot FellOffBridge and escort [[z4nityy]], the ship was shortly replaced with the [[CATACLYSM]], which featured a new and improved design.

In January 2025, ARMAGEDDON was moved to its permanent resting place at the Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War Memorial platform in [[Cadia]].

The nation of '''Orovika''' is the longest lasting [[colonist]] nation on Horizon's End. Focused on building, development of strong national infrastructure, and the generation of personal and national wealth, Orovika and its members have supported the formation and development of numerous nations and settlements, including [[Cortesia Del Mar]], [[Amcar]], and [[Radiance]].

= History =
==Star Legacy==
Orovika was founded by [[GenBukkit]] and [[ItsAlreadyGold]] on [[Star Legacy]] on 5 May 2019, with formal leadership of the nation fluctuating between the two depending on individual activity. Notable players during this time included [[Solesey]] and [[Middosk]].

The [[trade cities]] of Virtuis on Quod Canis and Ortosolis on Harenum were built by GenBukkit and ItsAlreadyGold, respectively. Many of Ortosolis' buildings were later moved to Chimgara to construct a new trade city, but this project was not completed before the announced reset and later shutdown of Star Legacy.

The Lizard dreadnought was the most iconic Orovikan warship, having been built in under a week. The Lizard was the primary ship used in the "Lizard spam" combat doctrine, where massed dreadnought fleets were used to great effect against Orovika's enemies. The Lizard claimed one of the first dreadnought kills, and was the only dreadnought to sink another dreadnought.

[[File:Lizard dreadnought.png|thumb|The Lizard, Orovika's dreadnought on Star Legacy]]

==Horizon's End==
===Founding and early days===
Orovika was founded by GenBukkit on Horizon's End on 22 April 2022 at the capital city of [[Auriko]]. Orovikans living on [[Aret]] joined the [[Aret Gang]], a defensive alliance with other colonist nations and settlements on the planet including [[Imperial Nova]] and the [[Amcaran Social Republic]], to fight against local pirate attacks.

The nation's members were frequent targets of [[piracy]] by [[Echelon]], [[Vulnere]], and [[Detreus]] during this time, with some members managing to momentarily escape piracy by paying bribes. Orovika maintained a neutral position in most wars in the early months of the server, including the [[Cheth Wars]].

Longtime members Solesey and ItsAlreadyGold eventually left Orovika to form [[Panacea]]. On 19 September 2022, GenBukkit left Orovika to pursue a life of individual piracy, transferring leadership to [[gregolegomonkey]]. During this time, gregolegomonkey formalized the nation's laws and government structure, and established planetary mining outposts on a number of planets. ItsAlreadyGold would rejoin Orovika later, reclaiming his position as Head Councilor and taking charge of the nation's recruitment efforts and diplomacy.

Piracy against Orovika diminished as Vulnere's members became inactive and Echelon rebranded as [[Vega]] and ceased piracy, leaving Detreus, later reformed as [[Arimfea]], the sole existing piracy threat. Through a combination of protection payments to Arimfea and Vega, and the payment of [[Vortexion]] and [[FellOffBridge]] of Arimfea for various building projects and warship blueprints, Arimfea's piracy against Orovika was greatly diminished. Occasional unprovoked attacks by FellOffBridge and other Arimfeans would still occur, where they would temporarily leave Arimfea to engage in piracy against Orovika and other nations before eventually rejoining.

===Amcar merger===
[[File:Amcar Merger Flag.png|thumb|A draft for a new banner during the proposed Amcar/Orovika Merger]]
Around 11 April 2023, member settlements of the [[Amcaran Social Republic]] would merge into Orovika, as the two nations shared similar ideals of neutrality. Amcaran settlements would benefit from Orovikan planetary mining infrastructure and protection agreements with individual pirates and pirate nations.

Amcaran settlements began seceding from Orovika on 25 June 2023, and would go on to form [[New Amcar]] and the [[Democratic Republic of Arionic States]].

GenBukkit would rejoin Orovika during this period, with the nation temporarily joining the [[Aret Treaty Organization]] in April 2023.

===Cortesian and Kovfefe recruitment===
In June 2023, the Kovfefan settlements of [[Haven]] and [[Astolfo]], led by [[Blackular]] and [[_omni]] respectively, would join Orovika.

On 3 July 2023, the [[Cortesian]] settlement of [[Setra Maria]] was recruited by and received substantial economic and material support from ItsAlreadyGold.

On 19 July 2023, Blackular and his settlement Haven were permanently expelled from Orovika due to Blackular's attempt to provoke a war with Orovika's ally, Arimfea.

===War with Shadow===
{{Main|Shadow-Orovika War}}
In early 2023, Orovika would begin making payments to the solo pirate [[Noix444]] in exchange for immunity from attacks, as the strategy was previously regarded as successful in deterring Arimfean piracy. By 16 May 2023, Orovika decided to end the immunity payments after Noix444 substantially increased the payment amount as a result of Orovika's growth from the merger with the Amcaran Social Republic, and the recruitment of a small settlement composed of nearly a dozen new players.

On 22 August 2023, Noix444, as a member of [[Shadow]]'s leadership, attacked [[Oliveburger22]], following an attack on the pirate [[BrooklynSupreme]] by GenBukkit on 20 August 2023. A state of war was declared shortly after, with [[Ae0n]] of Shadow joining the fight.

[[xlink97]] would defect from Orovika to assist Shadow in the war around 27 August 2023. Shadow began employing Arimfean mercenaries, most notably [[FellOffBridge]] and [[AdelieXY]], the same day.

On 29 August 2023, [[scar_litty]] was ambushed while she was mining alone in the [[Trench]], and initial terms of surrender were given:
*Surrender a Shadow destroyer to Orovika
*Return all Orovikan wrecks to Orovika
*Stop attacking Orovikans immediately
*Remove Noix444 from Shadow leadership and any significant decision making positions
Shadow as a nation refused to surrender, but scar_litty's medium asteroid miner was captured intact and would be impounded until the end of the war.

On 31 August 2023, Orovika attempted to hire FellOffBridge as a mercenary. Later in battle the same day, FellOffBridge would demand additional payment to remain on Orovika's side, and would go on to assist Shadow fighters in the sinking of two Orovikan frigates when his demands were not met. Orovika would go on to employ [[MaidPierce]] of [[Vega]] as a mercenary for the remainder of the war.

The largest battle of the war occurred on 3 September 2023, when an Orovikan frigate, three Orovikan gunships, and MaidPierce's mercenary gunship fought two Arimfean mercenary frigates and four Shadow gunships in Aret's orbit. The battle ended in an Orovikan victory after all Shadow gunships were sunk, and AdelieXY's frigate was temporarily immobilized and damaged by a ramming attack by gregolegomonkey's gunship, after which both ships were sunk.

On 7 September 2023, Shadow was presented with terms for surrender, identical to those offered on 29 August 2023. Ae0n rejected the terms on 10 September 2023, demanding weekly immunity payments of 15,000c per Orovikan player so they could avoid being attacked by Shadow. In response, Orovika adopted a doctrine of total war against all members of Shadow; attacks had previously been restricted to primarily Shadow combatants and their employed Arimfean mercenaries.

Until the end of the war, Shadow warships and freighters were aggressively pursued and destroyed, forcing Shadow to begin salvaging wrecks to construct functional gunships. Shadow would surrender conditionally on 29 September 2023, turning over a destroyer to Orovika and removing Noix444 from their nation. Arimfean mercenaries were not bound by the surrender terms, and continued to engage in piracy after the end of the war.

As a result of Noix444's increases in immunity payments before the start of the war, FellOffBridge's mid-combat allegiance switch, and Ae0n's demands for immunity payments, the Orovikan Council would vote to outlaw all collaboration with and payments to pirates on 16 September 2023.

===War with RentDueYesterday===
{{Main|Horizon Federation-RentDueYesterday War}}
On 20 September 2023, in the closing days of the war with Shadow, FellOffBridge and other Arimfean mercenaries officially seceded from Arimfea, forming the nation of [[RentDueYesterday]] so they could freely engage in piracy without being restricted by Vortexion and Arimfea's diplomacy. On 29 September 2023, Orovika would form an anti-piracy alliance with [[Imperial Nova]] to defend against piracy by RentDueYesterday.

On 6 October 2023, MaidPierce of Vega attacked and sunk [[KR_Builder]]'s medium freighter, and declared an alliance with RentDueYesterday immediately afterwards, officially beginning the war. The [[Horizon Federation]] was formed between Orovika, Imperial Nova, and Arimfea soon afterwards. The nations of [[Shadow]], [[New Amcar]], and the [[United Federation of Planets]] would join the Horizon Federation during the war, and [[Cortesia Del Mar]] remained in the Horizon Federation after their secession from Orovika on 29 December 2023.

For most of the war, the Horizon Federation would suffer from low [[SvS]] skill, poor coordination, and subpar ship designs, resulting in frequent defeats by RentDueYesterday and Vegan forces. A "lagfleet" doctrine was implemented, where large Horizon Federation fleets would siege stations on weekends that were captured unopposed on weekdays by RentDueYesterday and Vega. Lagfleets were rarely successful in inflicting losses on the enemy, but were effective in preventing an enemy response due to the immense lag caused by having large numbers of ships piloted, causing ships in SvS combat to become unresponsive.

With the stalemate caused by lagfleets and the constant threat of piracy, many members of nations on both sides of the conflict lost interest in the server or became bored, causing a significant drop in player counts. On 7 December 2023, Vega would voluntarily exit the war with a declaration of white peace to all Horizon Federation nations. After Vega's withdrawal, Horizon Federation forces were able to inflict combat losses on RentDueYesterday more frequently, and was able to siege stations held by RentDueYesterday with little opposition. The war would officially end on 8 January 2024 after FellOffBridge joined Vega, leaving RentDueYesterday to declare white peace and reform itself as the [[Andurian Federation]].

After nearly 5 months of war and pirate attacks, Orovika was at peace.

The Horizon Federation was formally dissolved on 5 February 2024.

===War with Vask Authority===
{{Main|Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority Conflict}}
On 23 April 2024, the nations of Orovika, Cortesia Del Mar, and Shadow, later reformed as [[Radiance]], would form the [[Ilios Alliance]] as an economic and defensive partnership.

On 3 May 2024, the Andurian Federation reformed itself as [[Vask Authority]] under the leadership of FellOffBridge, who resumed piracy alongside the rest of the nation. The Ilios Alliance responded by only attacking Vask Authority players who were actively engaging in piracy, to avoid sparking an all-out war with Vask Authority. On 10 June 2024, the nations of Imperial Nova and Arimfea were admitted to the Ilios Alliance, as they had previously been the target of piracy by the Andurian Federation and later, Vask Authority, since the end of a minor war with the Andurian Federation in February 2024. The [[Republic of Carthage]] would later join the war alongside the Ilios Alliance after being attacked by Vask Authority pirates.

On 11 June 2024, the war officially began after a Ilios Alliance response to a pirate attack by [[DearGhost]] of Vask Authority caused DearGhost to flee to Vask Authority's [[Apollyon]] station, leading the rest of Vask Authority to engage Ilios Alliance forces in a fleet battle.

Many battles of the war ended in stalemate, with the Ilios Alliance's usage of numerous [[tackle gunships]] and other small ships being unable to sink Vask Authority's [[battlecruisers]], which were unable to catch up to or hit the small and fast moving Ilios Alliance warships. These tactics culminated in the [[Battle of Asteri]] on 26 June 2024, where Ilios Alliance ships forced the Vask Authority battlecruiser [[ARMAGEDDON]] to unpilot in a Vask Authority owned siege station after it ran out of fuel and was unable to jump away due to being caught in starship gravity wells. The Ilios Alliance attempted to prevent Vask Authority from refueling and repiloting the battlecruiser for 22 hours until the next station siege window, but intervention by Vega 3.5 hours into the blockade resulted in the destruction of the entire Ilios Alliance fleet and the recapture of ARMAGEDDON by Vask Authority.

On 16 July 2024, the battlecruiser ARMAGEDDON was captured by [[_omni]] of Orovika after a PvP fight in space with its pilot, FellOffBridge, and [[z4nityy]], who was piloting a starfighter. This marked the first major victory by the Ilios Alliance during the war.

On 26 July 2024, the Vask Authority battlecruiser CATACLYSM was sunk by a Ilios Alliance fleet, with _omni claiming the kill. The same day, [[Vandrayk]] of Vega offered white peace to the Ilios Alliance on behalf of Vask Authority, threatening Vega's entry into the war if the white peace was not accepted. A ceasefire was agreed to on 29 July 2024 to allow for negotiations, which eventually stalled due to the Ilios Alliance's belief that neither Vega nor Vask Authority were capable of holding up their end of a peace treaty without staff enforcement.

On 5 August 2024, Vandrayk and all members of Vask Authority, except z4nityy, were permanently banned from the server as a result of the [[Vask Authority Leak]], marking an unofficial end to the war. The cease fire was ended by z4nityy, who resumed piracy against much of the server after returning from a temporary ban. Following the end of the war, the nations of Imperial Nova and Arimfea left the Ilios Alliance.

===Long Peace era===
Fatigue from near constant threat of piracy and six months of active war over the past year left many of Orovika's colonist minded players burnt out or inactive, with many newer recruits leaving the server after being attacked. In October 2024, longtime members ItsAlreadyGold and _omni left to join Radiance, with ItsAlreadyGold later joining Cortesia Del Mar.

Orovika continued to engage in occasional anti-piracy actions alongside fellow Ilios Alliance members.

===Present day===
In March 2025, [[DoctorDiamond1]] was promoted to Head Councilor for his recruitment efforts.

On 13 March 2025, the Ilios Alliance was formally disbanded after Radiance left to pursue a more neutral and independent path, with Cortesia Del Mar and Orovika retaining their pre-existing alliance.

On 25 March, IvorySteam departed the nation to join Cortesia Del Mar.

=Territorial Claims=
==Cities==
===Dekalli===
{{Main|Dekalli}}
The city of '''Dekalli''' is the industrial capital of Orovika located on [[Rubaciea]], and is led by [[gregolegomonkey]]. Notable structures include the Port Dekalli Trade Center to the south and the central subterranean manufacturing complex to the west. The Orovikan trade and mining fleets are based at Dekalli.

==Additional settlements==
===Bogium===
{{Main|Bogium}}
The settlement of '''Bogium''' is the most notable settlement on [[Eden]], and it is led by [[DoctorDiamond]]. Citizens may extract rare artifacts, fauna and minerals here. Situated in a harsh environment, Bogium provides warmth and light for deep space travelers, and a "security" to the Horizon system.

===HILUX===
The settlement of '''HILUX''' is home to a small mining operation on [[Kovfefe]], ran by [[Crossac]].

A backwater Mining town, primarily consisting of HILUX branded colony ships and equipment, and small prefab buildings.

===TTF===
The settlement of '''TTF''' is a small settlement on [[Turms]], led by [[Kingsheep3]].

==Stations==
===Port Olisar===
Located in the [[Sirius]] system, '''Port Olisar''' is the longest space station on Horizon's End at a length of 1744 blocks, boasting a total block count of 1,444,782. The station was designed and constructed by [[Jurulk]] and [[CookiessassiN]] as a faithful recreation of the defunct station of the same name from Star Citizen.

==Outposts==
===Mining outposts===
Orovika maintains planetary mining outposts on [[Luxiterna]], [[Herdoli]], [[Krio]], [[Aret]], [[Gahara]], [[Kovfefe]], and [[Lioda]].

===Former settlements===
Orovika maintains planetary claims on the former settlements of [[Spatzyosa]] ([[Damkoth]]), [[Auriko]] ([[Aret]]), and [[Okami]] ([[Aerach]]) for preservation and safekeeping.

= Politics =
== Government ==
Orovika's government takes the form of a oligarchic federation where influential and, traditionally, wealthy individuals are responsible for national governance. Member settlements may make their own laws, provided they do not conflict with national laws. Most government positions are appointed, with public elections being deemed a risk to the nation's low drama, laid back, real-life-first playstyle.
* The '''Premier''' is the head of the Orovikan government, and is responsible for enforcing national laws and maintaining national stability.
* The '''Head Councilor''' is the head of the civilian Council, and is appointed by the Premier.
* The '''Head Admiral''' is the head of the national military, and is appointed by the Premier.
* The Orovikan Council is composed of representative '''Councilors''' from individual settlements, or are influential and active players in the nation. Most Councilors are the leaders of their respective settlement.
Orovika is a member of the [[Ilios Alliance]] and maintains a neutral position in server politics, but has engaged in war against pirate nations on several occasions. Indiscriminate piracy and collaboration with pirates is outlawed, and members are discouraged from physically or verbally attacking other players. Orovikans are encouraged to prioritize real-life obligations over the server.
== Laws ==
Orovikan laws are upheld in the spirit of the law, rather than the letter of the law. Core laws regarding the general conduct of nation members are as following:
1.1 Do not harass or provoke other players. Obey server rules. Try to use common sense.
1.2 Theft or griefing of national assets, and stealing from nation members, and members of Friendly and Allied nations, is not permitted.
1.2.1 Please assist members of Friendly and Allied nations in recovering ships in national territory, if you are able to.
1.3 Attacking other players is not permitted, except players noted as pirates in #⁠player-watchlist (Discord channel), players that have attacked nation members or yourself, or members of Enemy nations.
1.3.1 Engaging in indiscriminate piracy is not allowed.
1.4 Players are encouraged to prioritize real-world obligations over the server, and will not be penalized for doing so.
1.5 Collaboration with pirates is not permitted. This includes, but is not limited to: paying for protection, giving pirates rides, allowing pirates to borrow miners/freighters.
A list of all of Orovika's laws is available here: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1InuKDAvtBXMuu-xD1iGtV1dr4UEasgLQ5CmyxeyGXF8/edit?usp=sharing Orovika Laws (Full)]

= Culture =
==National colors==
The primary national color of Orovika is gold, representing the vast monetary and material wealth of the nation and its members. Secondary and tertiary colors are white and gray, respectively. Orovikan ships are typically painted in role specific color schemes:
* Warships: Gray (polished tuff) hull, yellow (smooth sandstone) primary accent, black (polished blackstone) secondary accent. Yellow glass thrusters.
* Freighters: White (smooth quartz) hull, yellow (birch wood) primary accent, dark gray (deepslate tile) secondary accent. Red glass thrusters.
* Miners: Gray (polished deepslate) hull, yellow (birch wood) accent. Light blue glass thrusters.

==Ship prefixes==
Named Orovikan ships typically receive a prefix dependent on their role:
* Warships: '''ONS''' ('''O'''rovikan '''N'''aval '''S'''hip)
* Freighters: '''OCS''' ('''O'''rovikan '''C'''argo '''S'''hip)
* Miners: '''OMS''' ('''O'''rovikan '''M'''ining '''S'''hip)

==Religion==
The officially recognized state religion of Orovika is the '''Cult of Lacage''', which reveres Lacage, the lizard guardian. Members of Orovika are not required to worship Lacage.

[[File:Vesta.jpeg|thumb|The Vesta [[shuttle]] is the most common [[starter ship]] used by new players on Horizon's End.]]

'''Starships''' are the main form of transportation on Horizon's End.

They can be custom built by players or purchased from a [[Ship Dealer]], and can carry items and [[cargo crates]], mine [[asteroids]] in space or on [[planets]], and engage in [[SvS]] combat with other player built ships and NPC-controlled [[AI Ships]].

=Starship Classes=
Starships must be assigned a class which dictates their block count, characteristics, and performance at different tasks.

A ship can only be constructed using certain blocks. A list of blocks that a starship can be built with is available at the [https://github.com/HorizonsEndMC/Ion/blob/main/server/src/main/kotlin/net/horizonsend/ion/server/features/starship/FlyableBlocks.kt Horizon's End github].

==Civilian Ship Classes==
'''Civilian ships''' are used for carrying [[Cargo Crates]] and mining [[asteroids]] using [[Mining Lasers]], and can carry vast quantities of items.

Civilian ships require at least 25% of total blocks as concrete to be detected.

Indicated statistics on the table below are for a ship of the maximum size for its class. Ships that are below the maximum size for its class can carry fewer cargo crates and [[containers]], and can fire fewer [[weapons]] and support fewer [[shields]].

Light Freighters, Medium Freighters, and Heavy Freighters can fire 1 [[Heavy Laser]] in addition to other weaponry. Civilian ships have weaker shields than warships of the same size.

There is not currently a civilian ship class that is 12,000 - 16,000 blocks in size.

==Warship Classes==
'''Warships''' are used in [[SvS]] combat against other players and NPC-controlled [[AI Ships]].

Warships require at least 30% of total blocks as concrete to be detected.

Indicated statistics on the table below are for a ship of the maximum size for its class. Ships that are below the maximum size for its class can fire fewer [[weapons]] and support fewer [[shields]].

Warships can carry half as many [[cargo crates]] and [[containers]] as a Civilian Ship of the same size. Battlecruisers cannot carry crates. Corvettes, Frigates, and Destroyers can use 1 [[T1 Mining Laser]].

==Other Ship Classes==
'''Speeders''' are small ships used for quick, short range transportation. '''Platforms''' are used for detecting and [[printing]] large builds using [[Ship Factories]].

Neither ship class requires concrete to detect, and they cannot use [[shields]], [[weapons]], [[hyperdrives]], [[mining lasers]], or [[starship gravity wells]]. Both ship classes can be detected [[oversize]] without any penalties.

Speeders can use [[starship drills]] and cannot move by [[cruising]] or by [[direct control]].

Platforms cannot move at all.

=Starship Systems=
A starship's capabilities are determined by the [[multiblocks]] used in the construction of the starship.

==Weapons==
{{Main|Starship Weapons}}

'''Starship weapons''' are used to deal damage to other starships, players, and entities.

[[Light Weapons]] are fired by left clicking with a controller. Multiple light weapons can be fired at once if you are not using [[weaponsets]] and [[nodes]] to control which weapons fire.

[[Heavy Weapons]] are fired by right clicking with a controller after a brief charge-up delay. Only one type of heavy weapon can be fired at a time, so ships with multiple heavy weapons must control them using weaponsets and nodes.

Turrets can fire in any direction that they have line of sight in. All turrets except for the [[Tri Turret]] are light weapons. [[Light Turrets]], Tri Turrets, and [[Point Defense Turrets]] can automatically fire on player or ship targets designated using <code>/settarget [node] [player]</code> or <code>/st [node] [player]</code>. Point Defense Turrets are light weapons and cannot be fired manually.

Some weapons such as [[Plasma Cannons]], [[Interceptor Cannons]], and [[Torpedoes]], can only fire forwards. The direction of fire for these weapons is the opposite of the direction of maximum thrust.

Players take 5 hearts of true damage when hit with any starship weapon.

==Shields==
{{Main|Particle Shields}}

'''Shields''' are used to absorb incoming weapons fire and prevent explosions from damaging a ship.

The number, strength, and recharge rate of a starship's shields is determined by ship class.

The amount of damage a shield takes is determined by the [[blast resistance]] of the block a projectile impacts. [[Blasters]], with the exception of the [[Blaster Cannon]], cannot damage a starship's shields.

==Thrusters==
{{Main|Thrusters}}

'''Thrusters''' are the primary source of propulsion for starships, and are required to [[cruise]] and fly in [[direct control]]. Thrusters add speed and acceleration in the direction that they are pointing. Applying thrust to one or multiple sides of a ship is possible.

A thruster's exhaust path may not be blocked by any block of the active starship at any distance, with the exception of one glass block or glass pane with no space in between.

==Hyperdrives & Navigation Computers==

[[Hyperdrives]] and [[Navigation Computers]] allow a starship to rapidly travel through hyperspace.

A starship can enter hyperspace by moving into the range of a [[Jump Gate]] or by using <code>/jump</code>. Two pieces of [[Chetherite]] per hyperdrive hopper are consumed when entering hyperspace.

A starship's hyperspace travel speed is determined by its hyperdrive tier, with higher tiers traveling faster while consuming more chetherite. A starship's hyperspace jump range is determined by its navigation computer tier and starship class.

==Starship Gravity Wells==
{{Main|Starship Gravity Well}}

A '''starship gravity well''' disables hyperspace travel within its radius while active, and causes ships in hyperspace to enter real space when they pass through the area of the generated [[gravity well]].

The cruise speed of ships in the gravity well's area can be temporarily reduced by 20% by pulsing an active starship gravity well, consuming two [[chetherite]] items.

The range of a starship gravity well is determined by a starship's size and class.

==Mining Equipment==
[[Mining Lasers]] and [[Starship Drills]] can be mounted on starships and used to mine [[asteroids]] in space and on [[planets]], respectively.

The number and tier of mining lasers that can be used is determined by starship class.

The number of starship drills that a player can have active at one time is limited to 16. There are no restrictions on the number or tier of starship drills present on a starship.

=Starship Concepts=
The following concepts are important for understanding starship behavior in Horizon's End.

==Ship Computer==
[[File:ship computer.png|thumb|A ship computer.]]

A '''ship computer''' is a block (jukebox) on a starship where the main controls of a ship are accessed.

All interactions with a ship computer occur while holding a controller (clock).

Only one jukebox can be the active starship computer of a starship. Multiple non-starship jukeboxes may be present, but all activated jukeboxes on a starship must be owned by its pilot.

===Ship Computer Functions===
[[File:ship computer gui.png|thumb|The ship computer interface, accessed by left clicking a ship computer while holding a controller.]]
*'''Redetect''': Redefines what blocks are considered part of the starship.
*'''Add pilot''': Lets another player pilot the starship. Type the new pilot's username in chat.
*'''Change starship type''': Changes the starship type. A redetect is required afterwards.
*'''Lock starship''': Prevents the starship from being broken up or flown by players not on the pilot list. The lock takes five minutes to activate, during which the ship may be broken into. To clarify, it is illegal to steal a locked ship in unclaimed land, space, or in safe zones; if a locked ship is present within your claim, notify a staff member to unlock the ship for you or use the Take Ownership function.
*'''Take ownership''': Adds the player to the list of pilots. Only [[settlement]] owners, [[nation]] leaders, and players given the TAKE_SHIP_OWNERSHIP permission by settlement and nation leaders can use this function.
*'''Change starship name''': Changes the starship name visible on /listships and in certain server events. Type the ship's new name in chat. Starship names can be formatted by [[Patreon donators]] using [https://docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/format.html formatting tags].

===Detecting & Piloting Starships===
{{Main|Piloting Guide}}

Follow these steps to detect and pilot your starship:
# Left click the ship computer (jukebox) while holding a controller (clock).
# Click the ghast tear item to open a menu where you can select your ship class. Click the desired class.
#* Some starship classes, such as the [[interceptor]], are subclasses of other ship classes. Right click the parent class, then select the subclass.
# Left click the clock item to re-detect your starship.
# Right click the ship computer while holding a controller to pilot your starship.
# Right click the ship computer again or use /release to stop flying and release your starship.

==Hull Integrity==
A starship's '''hull integrity''' is the percent of blocks out of 100 remaining on an active starship.

When a starship's hull integrity drops below 80%, it will sink, drifting and causing explosions that damage ships and players in its path. Exploded blocks of damaged starships will regenerate where they were exploded after 5 minutes.

When a [[Supercapital]] starship is destroyed, the central core block in its [[Supercapital Reactor]] will be permanently destroyed, causing a large explosion.

==Crate Capacity==
'''Crate capacity''' is the maximum number of [[crates]] that a ship can carry. Trade ships can carry crates (or sticky pistons) up to 0.015 * block count or sqrt(block count), whichever value is smaller. The switch occurs for ships around 4444 blocks.

A ship can detect with more sticky pistons than the maximum amount of crates it can carry, but it will not be able to carry additional crates. Ships cannot be detected with more crates than their limit.

Warships can mount half as many crates as a trade ship of the same size.

==Storage Capacity==
'''Storage Capacity''' is the maximum number of [[containers]] that a ship can carry.

Ships cannot be detected with more containers than their limit:
* Speeders have a storage capacity equal to 25% of their block count.
* Civilian ships have a storage capacity equal to 4.5% of their block count.
* Warships have a storage capacity equal to 2.5% of their block count.
* Platforms have no limit on the amount of containers they can pilot.

The storage capacity used by a container varies by container type, with one unit of storage capacity representing 9 inventory slots:
* Chests and barrels use 3 storage capacity each. A doublechest uses 6 storage capacity.
* Dispensers and droppers use 1 storage capacity per block.
* Hoppers use 1 storage capacity each.
* Ender chests do not use any storage capacity, but cannot be obtained in survival.

==Oversize Starships==
'''Oversizing''' is the act of detecting a ship with more blocks than the class allows, and is often used to tow multiple ships together.

Any ship can be detected with 10% more blocks than the maximum allowed for the class, with a 50% debuff to ship power to thruster acceleration, shields, and weapons. The debuff is the same for any block count above the limit for the class. [[Speeder]] and [[Platform]] ship classes can be detected as oversize ships without any penalties.

Oversize ships are able to carry extra chests, allowing oversize ships to have slightly more storage.

When detecting a ship, it will warn the player if the ship is oversize.

==Blast Resistance==
{{Main|Blast Resistance}}

The '''blast resistance''' of blocks affects the amount of damage that [[shields]] take and the strength of explosions when a shield is disabled.

A starship's hull should be constructed of armor blocks with high blast resistance such as stairs, slabs, walls, and terracotta, which have a modified blast resistance of 6.0. Core structural blocks such as concrete, which has a lower blast resistance of 1.8, cause shields to take more damage and explosions of unshielded blocks to be more powerful. Glass blocks and panes have a blast resistance of 5.0 and are often the only exterior weakpoints on a well-built starship.

==Power Modes==
'''Power modes''' can be used to change how power is allocated between three different systems in your ship:
*[[Thrusters]]: Acceleration (not maximum speed) in cruising and direct control
*[[Shields]]: Shield recharge rate
*[[Weapons]]: Weapon fire rate

You can change your power mode using <code>/pm (Shield Power) (Weapon Power) (Thruster Power)</code>. The numbers you input must add to 100. A system's power cannot be below 10 or above 50. You can assign these modes to a sign by writing <code>[powermode]</code> on a sign and setting the second, third, and fourth lines to your desired shield, weapon, and thruster power.

==Weaponsets==
{{Main|Weaponsets}}

'''Weaponsets''' and [[Nodes]] are used to control a player defined set of [[starship weapons]]. A player can only control one weaponset at a time. Each weaponset can control multiple [[light weapon]] types and one [[heavy weapon]] type.

Weaponsets that control nodes attached to [[Point Defense Turrets]], [[Light Turrets]], and [[Tri Turrets]] can automatically fire on player or ship targets designated using <code>/settarget [node] [player]</code> or <code>/st [node] [player]</code>.

==Tips and tricks==
The most basic of Starships is a platform that is comprised of 25 blocks of concrete, 74 blocks of any legal ship block, (all glass, terracotta, slabs, stairs, trapdoors, doors, redstone devices and any mineral blocks). And 1 jukebox

Such a ship will be able to fly and go back and forth between space and planets

However, it has 3 notable weaknesses

* It will not be able to protect you from suffocating in space
* It will not be able to jump through hyperspace
* It will have no shield

You can easily fix these problems by adding the multi-blocks of [[particle shield]], [[thruster]], [[navcomputer]] and [[hyperdrive]], and making your ship with a roof and walls to prevent suffocating

=Advanced concepts=

==Merging==
A multi-block that is in the correct configuration will function as a legal multi-block regardless of what the blocks are part of

This means that one could merge multiple multi-blocks to save on block count on their ship!

One common arrangement is engines, a navcomputer and a shield.

Consider the T2 navcomputer. Part of the T2 navcomputer is comprised of iron blocks followed by sponges. The bottom of the 0.8 particle shield is an iron block and a shield. One could simply place a glass block, and pane on top of the navcomputer and add a sign with the correct words, and make a navcomputerShield block!
The afterburner engines require iron blocks, sponges, gold blocks and a light emitting block (sea lantern, magma, or any froglight)
Again, the back of the T2 navcomputer has a few spots where an iron block is followed by a sponge. One simply needs to add a gold block and light emitting block to each, and you now have a navcomputerShieldAfterburners multi-block!

By doing this, you make potentially 44 blocks into 38 blocks

You can do the same with merging weapons, mining lasers and truly any of the multi-blocks!

The nation of '''Orovika''' is the longest lasting [[colonist]] nation on Horizon's End. Focused on building, development of strong national infrastructure, and the generation of personal and national wealth, Orovika and its members have supported the formation and development of numerous nations and settlements, including [[Cortesia Del Mar]], [[Amcar]], and [[Radiance]].

= History =
==Star Legacy==
Orovika was founded by [[GenBukkit]] and [[ItsAlreadyGold]] on [[Star Legacy]] on 5 May 2019, with formal leadership of the nation fluctuating between the two depending on individual activity. Notable players during this time included [[Solesey]] and [[Middosk]].

The [[trade cities]] of Virtuis on Quod Canis and Ortosolis on Harenum were built by GenBukkit and ItsAlreadyGold, respectively. Many of Ortosolis' buildings were later moved to Chimgara to construct a new trade city, but this project was not completed before the announced reset and later shutdown of Star Legacy.

The Lizard dreadnought was the most iconic Orovikan warship, having been built in under a week. The Lizard was the primary ship used in the "Lizard spam" combat doctrine, where massed dreadnought fleets were used to great effect against Orovika's enemies. The Lizard claimed one of the first dreadnought kills, and was the only dreadnought to sink another dreadnought.

[[File:Lizard dreadnought.png|thumb|The Lizard, Orovika's dreadnought on Star Legacy]]

==Horizon's End==
===Founding and early days===
Orovika was founded by GenBukkit on Horizon's End on 22 April 2022 at the capital city of [[Auriko]]. Orovikans living on [[Aret]] joined the [[Aret Gang]], a defensive alliance with other colonist nations and settlements on the planet including [[Imperial Nova]] and the [[Amcaran Social Republic]], to fight against local pirate attacks.

The nation's members were frequent targets of [[piracy]] by [[Echelon]], [[Vulnere]], and [[Detreus]] during this time, with some members managing to momentarily escape piracy by paying bribes. Orovika maintained a neutral position in most wars in the early months of the server, including the [[Cheth Wars]].

Longtime members Solesey and ItsAlreadyGold eventually left Orovika to form [[Panacea]]. On 19 September 2022, GenBukkit left Orovika to pursue a life of individual piracy, transferring leadership to [[gregolegomonkey]]. During this time, gregolegomonkey formalized the nation's laws and government structure, and established planetary mining outposts on a number of planets. ItsAlreadyGold would rejoin Orovika later, reclaiming his position as Head Councilor and taking charge of the nation's recruitment efforts and diplomacy.

Piracy against Orovika diminished as Vulnere's members became inactive and Echelon rebranded as [[Vega]] and ceased piracy, leaving Detreus, later reformed as [[Arimfea]], the sole existing piracy threat. Through a combination of protection payments to Arimfea and Vega, and the payment of [[Vortexion]] and [[FellOffBridge]] of Arimfea for various building projects and warship blueprints, Arimfea's piracy against Orovika was greatly diminished. Occasional unprovoked attacks by FellOffBridge and other Arimfeans would still occur, where they would temporarily leave Arimfea to engage in piracy against Orovika and other nations before eventually rejoining.

===Amcar merger===
[[File:Amcar Merger Flag.png|thumb|A draft for a new banner during the proposed Amcar/Orovika Merger]]
Around 11 April 2023, member settlements of the [[Amcaran Social Republic]] would merge into Orovika, as the two nations shared similar ideals of neutrality. Amcaran settlements would benefit from Orovikan planetary mining infrastructure and protection agreements with individual pirates and pirate nations.

Amcaran settlements began seceding from Orovika on 25 June 2023, and would go on to form [[New Amcar]] and the [[Democratic Republic of Arionic States]].

GenBukkit would rejoin Orovika during this period, with the nation temporarily joining the [[Aret Treaty Organization]] in April 2023.

===Cortesian and Kovfefe recruitment===
In June 2023, the Kovfefan settlements of [[Haven]] and [[Astolfo]], led by [[Blackular]] and [[_omni]] respectively, would join Orovika.

On 3 July 2023, the [[Cortesian]] settlement of [[Setra Maria]] was recruited by and received substantial economic and material support from ItsAlreadyGold.

On 19 July 2023, Blackular and his settlement Haven were permanently expelled from Orovika due to Blackular's attempt to provoke a war with Orovika's ally, Arimfea.

===War with Shadow===
{{Main|Shadow-Orovika War}}
In early 2023, Orovika would begin making payments to the solo pirate [[Noix444]] in exchange for immunity from attacks, as the strategy was previously regarded as successful in deterring Arimfean piracy. By 16 May 2023, Orovika decided to end the immunity payments after Noix444 substantially increased the payment amount as a result of Orovika's growth from the merger with the Amcaran Social Republic, and the recruitment of a small settlement composed of nearly a dozen new players.

On 22 August 2023, Noix444, as a member of [[Shadow]]'s leadership, attacked [[Oliveburger22]], following an attack on the pirate [[BrooklynSupreme]] by GenBukkit on 20 August 2023. A state of war was declared shortly after, with [[Ae0n]] of Shadow joining the fight.

[[xlink97]] would defect from Orovika to assist Shadow in the war around 27 August 2023. Shadow began employing Arimfean mercenaries, most notably [[FellOffBridge]] and [[AdelieXY]], the same day.

On 29 August 2023, [[scar_litty]] was ambushed while she was mining alone in the [[Trench]], and initial terms of surrender were given:
*Surrender a Shadow destroyer to Orovika
*Return all Orovikan wrecks to Orovika
*Stop attacking Orovikans immediately
*Remove Noix444 from Shadow leadership and any significant decision making positions
Shadow as a nation refused to surrender, but scar_litty's medium asteroid miner was captured intact and would be impounded until the end of the war.

On 31 August 2023, Orovika attempted to hire FellOffBridge as a mercenary. Later in battle the same day, FellOffBridge would demand additional payment to remain on Orovika's side, and would go on to assist Shadow fighters in the sinking of two Orovikan frigates when his demands were not met. Orovika would go on to employ [[MaidPierce]] of [[Vega]] as a mercenary for the remainder of the war.

The largest battle of the war occurred on 3 September 2023, when an Orovikan frigate, three Orovikan gunships, and MaidPierce's mercenary gunship fought two Arimfean mercenary frigates and four Shadow gunships in Aret's orbit. The battle ended in an Orovikan victory after all Shadow gunships were sunk, and AdelieXY's frigate was temporarily immobilized and damaged by a ramming attack by gregolegomonkey's gunship, after which both ships were sunk.

On 7 September 2023, Shadow was presented with terms for surrender, identical to those offered on 29 August 2023. Ae0n rejected the terms on 10 September 2023, demanding weekly immunity payments of 15,000c per Orovikan player so they could avoid being attacked by Shadow. In response, Orovika adopted a doctrine of total war against all members of Shadow; attacks had previously been restricted to primarily Shadow combatants and their employed Arimfean mercenaries.

Until the end of the war, Shadow warships and freighters were aggressively pursued and destroyed, forcing Shadow to begin salvaging wrecks to construct functional gunships. Shadow would surrender conditionally on 29 September 2023, turning over a destroyer to Orovika and removing Noix444 from their nation. Arimfean mercenaries were not bound by the surrender terms, and continued to engage in piracy after the end of the war.

As a result of Noix444's increases in immunity payments before the start of the war, FellOffBridge's mid-combat allegiance switch, and Ae0n's demands for immunity payments, the Orovikan Council would vote to outlaw all collaboration with and payments to pirates on 16 September 2023.

===War with RentDueYesterday===
{{Main|Horizon Federation-RentDueYesterday War}}
On 20 September 2023, in the closing days of the war with Shadow, FellOffBridge and other Arimfean mercenaries officially seceded from Arimfea, forming the nation of [[RentDueYesterday]] so they could freely engage in piracy without being restricted by Vortexion and Arimfea's diplomacy. On 29 September 2023, Orovika would form an anti-piracy alliance with [[Imperial Nova]] to defend against piracy by RentDueYesterday.

On 6 October 2023, MaidPierce of Vega attacked and sunk [[KR_Builder]]'s medium freighter, and declared an alliance with RentDueYesterday immediately afterwards, officially beginning the war. The [[Horizon Federation]] was formed between Orovika, Imperial Nova, and Arimfea soon afterwards. The nations of [[Shadow]], [[New Amcar]], and the [[United Federation of Planets]] would join the Horizon Federation during the war, and [[Cortesia Del Mar]] remained in the Horizon Federation after their secession from Orovika on 29 December 2023.

For most of the war, the Horizon Federation would suffer from low [[SvS]] skill, poor coordination, and subpar ship designs, resulting in frequent defeats by RentDueYesterday and Vegan forces. A "lagfleet" doctrine was implemented, where large Horizon Federation fleets would siege stations on weekends that were captured unopposed on weekdays by RentDueYesterday and Vega. Lagfleets were rarely successful in inflicting losses on the enemy, but were effective in preventing an enemy response due to the immense lag caused by having large numbers of ships piloted, causing ships in SvS combat to become unresponsive.

With the stalemate caused by lagfleets and the constant threat of piracy, many members of nations on both sides of the conflict lost interest in the server or became bored, causing a significant drop in player counts. On 7 December 2023, Vega would voluntarily exit the war with a declaration of white peace to all Horizon Federation nations. After Vega's withdrawal, Horizon Federation forces were able to inflict combat losses on RentDueYesterday more frequently, and was able to siege stations held by RentDueYesterday with little opposition. The war would officially end on 8 January 2024 after FellOffBridge joined Vega, leaving RentDueYesterday to declare white peace and reform itself as the [[Andurian Federation]].

After nearly 5 months of war and pirate attacks, Orovika was at peace.

The Horizon Federation was formally dissolved on 5 February 2024.

===War with Vask Authority===
{{Main|Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority Conflict}}
On 23 April 2024, the nations of Orovika, Cortesia Del Mar, and Shadow, later reformed as [[Radiance]], would form the [[Ilios Alliance]] as an economic and defensive partnership.

On 3 May 2024, the Andurian Federation reformed itself as [[Vask Authority]] under the leadership of FellOffBridge, who resumed piracy alongside the rest of the nation. The Ilios Alliance responded by only attacking Vask Authority players who were actively engaging in piracy, to avoid sparking an all-out war with Vask Authority. On 10 June 2024, the nations of Imperial Nova and Arimfea were admitted to the Ilios Alliance, as they had previously been the target of piracy by the Andurian Federation and later, Vask Authority, since the end of a minor war with the Andurian Federation in February 2024. The [[Republic of Carthage]] would later join the war alongside the Ilios Alliance after being attacked by Vask Authority pirates.

On 11 June 2024, the war officially began after a Ilios Alliance response to a pirate attack by [[DearGhost]] of Vask Authority caused DearGhost to flee to Vask Authority's [[Apollyon]] station, leading the rest of Vask Authority to engage Ilios Alliance forces in a fleet battle.

Many battles of the war ended in stalemate, with the Ilios Alliance's usage of numerous [[tackle gunships]] and other small ships being unable to sink Vask Authority's [[battlecruisers]], which were unable to catch up to or hit the small and fast moving Ilios Alliance warships. These tactics culminated in the [[Battle of Asteri]] on 26 June 2024, where Ilios Alliance ships forced the Vask Authority battlecruiser [[ARMAGEDDON]] to unpilot in a Vask Authority owned siege station after it ran out of fuel and was unable to jump away due to being caught in starship gravity wells. The Ilios Alliance attempted to prevent Vask Authority from refueling and repiloting the battlecruiser for 22 hours until the next station siege window, but intervention by Vega 3.5 hours into the blockade resulted in the destruction of the entire Ilios Alliance fleet and the recapture of ARMAGEDDON by Vask Authority.

On 16 July 2024, the battlecruiser ARMAGEDDON was captured by [[_omni]] of Orovika after a PvP fight in space with its pilot, FellOffBridge, and [[z4nityy]], who was piloting a starfighter. This marked the first major victory by the Ilios Alliance during the war.

On 26 July 2024, the Vask Authority battlecruiser CATACLYSM was sunk by a Ilios Alliance fleet, with _omni claiming the kill. The same day, [[Vandrayk]] of Vega offered white peace to the Ilios Alliance on behalf of Vask Authority, threatening Vega's entry into the war if the white peace was not accepted. A ceasefire was agreed to on 29 July 2024 to allow for negotiations, which eventually stalled due to the Ilios Alliance's belief that neither Vega nor Vask Authority were capable of holding up their end of a peace treaty without staff enforcement.

On 5 August 2024, Vandrayk and all members of Vask Authority, except z4nityy, were permanently banned from the server as a result of the [[Vask Authority Leak]], marking an unofficial end to the war. The cease fire was ended by z4nityy, who resumed piracy against much of the server after returning from a temporary ban. Following the end of the war, the nations of Imperial Nova and Arimfea left the Ilios Alliance.

===Long Peace era===
Fatigue from near constant threat of piracy and six months of active war over the past year left many of Orovika's colonist minded players burnt out or inactive, with many newer recruits leaving the server after being attacked. In October 2024, longtime members ItsAlreadyGold and _omni left to join Radiance, with ItsAlreadyGold later joining Cortesia Del Mar.

Orovika continued to engage in occasional anti-piracy actions alongside fellow Ilios Alliance members.

===Present day===
In March 2025, [[DoctorDiamond1]] was promoted to Head Councilor for his recruitment efforts.

On 13 March 2025, the Ilios Alliance was formally disbanded after Radiance left to pursue a more neutral and independent path, with Cortesia Del Mar and Orovika retaining their pre-existing alliance.

=Territorial Claims=
==Cities==
===Dekalli===
{{Main|Dekalli}}
The city of '''Dekalli''' is the industrial capital of Orovika located on [[Rubaciea]], and is led by [[gregolegomonkey]]. Notable structures include the Port Dekalli Trade Center to the south and the central subterranean manufacturing complex to the west. The Orovikan trade and mining fleets are based at Dekalli.

===Spatzyosa===
{{Main|Spatzyosa}}
The city of '''Spatzyosa''' is located on [[Luxiterna]], and is led by [[IvorySteam]]. Spatzyosa is slowly undergoing construction with the goal of becoming a trade city.

Spatzyosa was formerly located on [[Damkoth]].

==Additional settlements==
===Bogium===
The settlement of '''Bogium''' is the only notable settlement on [[Eden]], and is led by [[DoctorDiamond]]. Bogium is the successor of Alchemy Mine and Trade inc. (AMT) and extracts rare artifacts, fauna and minerals from Eden. Situated in a harsh environment, Bogium will provide warmth and light for and support deep space travelers.

===HILUX===
The settlement of '''HILUX''' is home to a small mining operation on [[Kovfefe]], ran by [[Crossac]].

A backwater Mining town, primarily consisting of HILUX branded colony ships and equipment, and small prefab buildings.

===TTF===
The settlement of '''TTF''' is a small settlement on [[Turms]], led by [[Kingsheep3]].

==Stations==
===Port Olisar===
Located in the [[Sirius]] system, '''Port Olisar''' is the longest space station on Horizon's End at a length of 1744 blocks, boasting a total block count of 1,444,782. The station was designed and constructed by [[Jurulk]] and [[CookiessassiN]] as a faithful recreation of the defunct station of the same name from Star Citizen.

==Outposts==
===Mining outposts===
Orovika maintains planetary mining outposts on [[Luxiterna]], [[Herdoli]], [[Krio]], [[Aret]], [[Gahara]], [[Kovfefe]], and [[Lioda]].

===Former settlements===
Orovika maintains planetary claims on the former settlements of [[Spatzyosa]] ([[Damkoth]]), [[Auriko]] ([[Aret]]), and [[Okami]] ([[Aerach]]) for preservation and safekeeping.

= Politics =
== Government ==
Orovika's government takes the form of a oligarchic federation where influential and, traditionally, wealthy individuals are responsible for national governance. Member settlements may make their own laws, provided they do not conflict with national laws. Most government positions are appointed, with public elections being deemed a risk to the nation's low drama, laid back, real-life-first playstyle.
* The '''Premier''' is the head of the Orovikan government, and is responsible for enforcing national laws and maintaining national stability.
* The '''Head Councilor''' is the head of the civilian Council, and is appointed by the Premier.
* The '''Head Admiral''' is the head of the national military, and is appointed by the Premier.
* The Orovikan Council is composed of representative '''Councilors''' from individual settlements, or are influential and active players in the nation. Most Councilors are the leaders of their respective settlement.
Orovika is a member of the [[Ilios Alliance]] and maintains a neutral position in server politics, but has engaged in war against pirate nations on several occasions. Indiscriminate piracy and collaboration with pirates is outlawed, and members are discouraged from physically or verbally attacking other players. Orovikans are encouraged to prioritize real-life obligations over the server.
== Laws ==
Orovikan laws are upheld in the spirit of the law, rather than the letter of the law. Core laws regarding the general conduct of nation members are as following:
1.1 Do not harass or provoke other players. Obey server rules. Try to use common sense.
1.2 Theft or griefing of national assets, and stealing from nation members, and members of Friendly and Allied nations, is not permitted.
1.2.1 Please assist members of Friendly and Allied nations in recovering ships in national territory, if you are able to.
1.3 Attacking other players is not permitted, except players noted as pirates in #⁠player-watchlist (Discord channel), players that have attacked nation members or yourself, or members of Enemy nations.
1.3.1 Engaging in indiscriminate piracy is not allowed.
1.4 Players are encouraged to prioritize real-world obligations over the server, and will not be penalized for doing so.
1.5 Collaboration with pirates is not permitted. This includes, but is not limited to: paying for protection, giving pirates rides, allowing pirates to borrow miners/freighters.
A list of all of Orovika's laws is available here: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1InuKDAvtBXMuu-xD1iGtV1dr4UEasgLQ5CmyxeyGXF8/edit?usp=sharing Orovika Laws (Full)]

= Culture =
==National colors==
The primary national color of Orovika is gold, representing the vast monetary and material wealth of the nation and its members. Secondary and tertiary colors are white and gray, respectively. Orovikan ships are typically painted in role specific color schemes:
* Warships: Gray (polished tuff) hull, yellow (smooth sandstone) primary accent, black (polished blackstone) secondary accent. Yellow glass thrusters.
* Freighters: White (smooth quartz) hull, yellow (birch wood) primary accent, dark gray (deepslate tile) secondary accent. Red glass thrusters.
* Miners: Gray (polished deepslate) hull, yellow (birch wood) accent. Light blue glass thrusters.

==Ship prefixes==
Named Orovikan ships typically receive a prefix dependent on their role:
* Warships: '''ONS''' ('''O'''rovikan '''N'''aval '''S'''hip)
* Freighters: '''OCS''' ('''O'''rovikan '''C'''argo '''S'''hip)
* Miners: '''OMS''' ('''O'''rovikan '''M'''ining '''S'''hip)

==Religion==
The officially recognized state religion of Orovika is the '''Cult of Lacage''', which reveres Lacage, the lizard guardian. Members of Orovika are not required to worship Lacage.

[[File:AretOrbit.png|thumb|250px|the Ikaria Sea seen on [[Aret]]. ]]
The '''Ikaria Sea''' is a massive artificial terrain feature on the planet [[Aret]] created by [[_Longy]].

= History =
The idea for a massive artificial sea dates back to before Horizon's End was released. The first thing [[_Longy]] Did whenever the server was released was begin progress on an artificial sea on [[Aret]]. However, it was originally being constructed in the northeast territory that now contains [[Auriko]] but was moved southward to [[Orlandia]]. There was also progress on another sea on the west edge of the planet, but this lake was never completed.
*The sea took multiple years to complete.

The sea is over two kilometer long, and stretches across three claims. Whenever one of these claims fell, [[Anduria]] took it, and attempted to destroy the lake by filling it with sand. This was one of the main reasons for [[Imperial Nova]]'s involvement in the [[Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War]].

= Specifications =
The footprint of the Ikaria Sea spreads 2,300 Meters West-East, and 1,600 Meters North-South, and is roughly 3 to 6 blocks deep.

The '''Vega-Ekatera War''' was a military conflict between [[Vega]] and [[Ekatera]], alongside which the nations of [[Lonestar]] and [[Radiance]] enacted independent military operations against Ekatera. The nation of Vega was the sole combatant to have formally declared war on Ekatera, while Lonestar classified their operations against Ekatera as "mass seizure of Ekateran assets", and Radiance classified theirs as "anti-piracy" activity.

Combat in the war strongly favored the combined military might of Vega, Lonestar, and Radiance; Ekatera's war strategy primarily centered on sheltering from attacks inside of [[Altar Sanctorium]], the nation's [[Trade City]], which was a safezone. Outside of Altar Sanctorium, several players and two settlements ([[Syros Republic]] and [[Kovfara]]) had left Ekatera since the start of the conflict. It ended in the dissolution of Ekatera, marking the first conflict since the [[Long Peace]] to have effectively been a total war among large nations.

== Origins ==
[[File:Impoundedlemship.png|thumb|350px|[[LeMaire]]'s vessel, impounded by [[Ekatera]] at [[Altar Sanctorium]].]]
On 3 January 2025, [[Radiance]]-contracted player [[AdelieXY]] assassinated [[Kiro231]], Queen of Ekatera, in a [[PvP]] attack. On the basis of AdelieXY's previous working relationship with Vega (in [[RentDueYesterday]], the [[Andurian Federation (2024)|Andurian Federation]], and [[Vask Authority]]), Kiro231 made the assumption that AdelieXY (whom she later described as "a player who [Vega] often sponsor") was a Vegan operative, and impounded a freighter parked at [[Altar Sanctorium]] registered to Vegan [[AssassinXX]] in response.

The following day, on 4 January, [[LeMaire]], who (rather than AssassinXX) was the actual user of the freighter, informed Vega that her ship had been impounded. Over the course of the same day, Vegan emperor [[MaidPierce]] and diplomat [[Sherbet_S]] attempted to rectify the situation by contacting Kiro231, but received no response; Kiro231 subsequently demanded Vega pay a 48000 credit "fine" to recover the ship (disregarding AdelieXY's non-affiliation-with Vega), an offer which Vega refused. On 5 January 2025, MaidPierce announced in the Horizon's End Discord that:
Following the unlawful seizure of LeMaire's vessel in the Trade City "Altar Sanctorium" and Kiro's refusal to speak to any Vegan representatives on the matter, We have decided to declare war until the vessel is returned to Vegan territory.

While some (such as [[Oliveburger22]]) would deem this course an "overreaction" from Vega, [[MaidPierce]] justified Vega's actions by stating that "Vega has made it very clear through [[StarLegacy|SL]] and [[Horizon's End|HE]] that you dont mess with LeMaire"; [[GigaJeff]] of Vega elaborated, "this was an under reaction, we should've reacted harder".

== Expansion of the Conflict ==
Following Vega's declaration of war on Ekatera, and the associated publicization of the circumstances of LeMaire's ship's impounding and the subsequent diplomatic exchange pertaining thereto, several other nations and players on the server would express some level of opposition to Ekatera.

=== Lonestar ===
On 7 January 2025, Chairman [[XiJinping]] of Lonestar, with the unanimous support of the Lonestar executive panel, announced on Discord that:
On 1/5/2025, Lonestar entered into a labor exchange partnership with Ekatera, believing that what seemed to be recent improvements in the nation's leadership and management were indicative of things to come and that this partnership could bear fruit for both parties. Hours later, Ekatera, apparently emboldened by this newfound partnership, seized a trading vessel used by LeMaire and failed to resolve the situation diplomatically with Vega.

Our urging of Ekatera to resolve the situation and to eliminate the risk to Lonestar partners fell upon deaf ears. In fact, Ekatera went so far as to attempt to sway Lonestar's opinion toward opposition to Vega. It is now the opinion of the Executive Panel that Ekatera is a reckless and undiplomatic nation that is willing to engage in abusive practices against traders on a whim--a gross mismanagement of its resources, a problem for interstellar corporations such as ourselves, and a threat to good business. As such, we hereby declare a mass seizure of Ekateran assets by Lonestar corporate enforcers as compensation for these transgressions. This operation is separate and apart from the ongoing Vega war against Ekatera.

We demand the submission of Ekatera to an occupation of Altar Sanctorium, formerly Haven, by Lonestar forces and the appointment of a Lonestar representative to governorship of the city. It is clear that the city's current management is inept and that outside intervention is required to return it to an acceptable condition that benefits interstellar trade. We recognize that it may take a long time for Ekatera to come to terms with this, and are prepared to continue seizing their assets until they do.

Lonestar will welcome Ekateran citizens displeased by their leader into its ranks.
While not a formal declaration of war, Lonestar members would begin attacking members of Ekatera following this announcement. Lonestar's offer of asylum to departing Ekaterans was taken up by [[GalaxyGaming Mc]]. [[Syros Republic]], formerly Symred, had also joined Lonestar during the day Vega's war began as the partnership between Lonestar and Ekatera fell apart.

Lonestar's peace demand of being granted governorship of Altar Sanctorium is broadly understood to be one that no nation on Horizon's End would fulfil, and as such is functionally tantamount to a statement that Lonestar does not intend to pursue peace with Ekatera.

=== Radiance ===
On 9 January 2025, Cherubim [[_omni]] of Radiance, on behalf of the 1st Quartet of Radiance, announced on Discord that:
Given the recent developments regarding Ekatera's pirating of LeMaire's vessel, Radiance will be engaging in Anti-piracy against Ekatera in support of Vegan forces until LeMaire's ship is returned to her, or until Vega comes to a peace agreement with Ekatera.
Radiance's statement represented the third major nation to take part in hostile activity against Ekatera. Radiance's declaration did not invoke the [[Ilios Alliance]] of which they are a member, as the Ilios Alliance's military requirement applies only to defensive actions, leaving [[Cortesia Del Mar]] and [[Orovika]] neutral in the conflict. Though initially their combat involvement was minimal, Radiance would eventually participate in the Siege of Altar Sanctorium when its safezone fell.

== Vegan Deadlines ==
Following four days of attacking Ekatera with limited success (due to the latter taking advantage of [[Altar Sanctorium]]'s safezone status), Vega elected to put pressure on Ekatera by enacting a series of deadlines regarding their terms for ending the war.

At the outset of war, Vega's peace terms were merely the free return of [[LeMaire]]'s ship to Vegan custody. On 9 January 2025, however, [[MaidPierce]] of Vega announced that:
IF The ship is not returned before 12:00 AM EST 1/11/2025 the terms to end our war will be:

THE RETURN OF LEMAIRE'S SHIP TO VEGAN TERRITORY
240,000 CREDITS TO EMPEROR MAIDPIERCE TO BE DEPOSITIED INTO THE VEGAN NATIONAL BANK

FOR EVERY WEEK FOLLOWING 1/11/2025 THE CREDIT AMOUNT WILL BE QUINTUPLED
1,200,000 CREDITS ON 1/18/2025
6,000,000 CREDITS ON 1/25/2025
ETC
The extreme exponential increase in the Vegan peace fine was intended to coerce Ekatera into suing for peace quickly; however, on 10 January, Kiro231 said in response that:
i wont give [LeMaire's ship] back till the fine is payed!
if it isnt payed i'll auction it!
if it isnt sold at auction i will decomp it >:3
Addressing Kiro's auction threat, XiJinping of Lonestar asked "when's the auction again", as "i just wanted to know when the forever war part of this got to start".

Additionally, Vega announced the intent to establish a full blockade of Altar Sanctorium:
IF THE SHIP IS NOT RETURNED BEFORE 12:00 AM EST 1/11/2025 VEGA WILL ENACT A BLOCKADE AROUND THE PLANET KOVFEFE TO PREVENT INCOMING TRADE TO ALTAR SANCTORIUM AND WILL URGE OTHER NATIONS OF THE GALAXY TO EMBARGO TRADE AND BAZAAR PURCHASES FROM THE CITY

== The Nexus Affair ==
In the morning of 24 January 2025, the industrialist [[Equiila]] of Lonestar—who had recently started his own settlement on Lioda called Nexus—opted to secede from Lonestar, citing frustration with the Chairman's handling of the war. Equiila then joined Ekatera and announced his intentions to manufacture a fleet to defend the nation, stating, "so, when my men are online and kiro is, im gonna start a mass printing on a war fleet." This triggered a swift response from Lonestar, who promptly placed a 50,000 credit bounty per kill on all members of Nexus and declared that it would seek total liquidation of the settlement regardless of its nation. Lonestar enforcer [[Sovrah]] would kill Nexus member [[Abu 42069]] in PvP soon afterward at Nexus itself, prompting Nexus members lacking new player protection to seek shelter in Altar Sanctorium.

Later that night, Equiila would agree to the surrender of his Normandy-class [[Heavy Freighter]], which contained a significant number of ship building materials, metals, and various equipment that he had received from Lonestar, as well as materials he had brought to Altar Sanctorium from Nexus. Chairman XiJinping retrieved the ship directly from Altar Sanctorium itself, escorted by a [[Destroyer]] and a [[Tackle Gunship]]. Pursuant to Lonestar's peace demand, leadership of Nexus was then passed to Abu_42069_, and Equiila left Ekatera soon afterward upon having his destroyer sunk by Vega forces. The rest of the restructured Nexus would then secede from Ekatera and return to Lonestar, rebranding to [[Berx]].

== Impact ==
=== Abrogation of the Arimfea-Ekatera Alliance ===
On 10 January 2025, [[Middosk]] of [[Arimfea]] announced,
Our alliance with Ekatera is defunct. Even as pirates we must adhere to a code of honour; trade cities should not impound ships outside of war -- especially not from innocent bystanders. LeMaire deserves justice and all who crusade to achieve it have our support. Repsecting the previously warm relationship between our two nations I have elected not to declare war on Ekatera as others have.
The abrogation of the [[Arimfea-Ekatera Alliance]] represented the loss of Ekatera's final alliance (save for [[tapachky]]'s one-man nation of [[Hibernia]]).

=== Formation of and Conflict With New Switzerland ===
On 9 January 2025, the settlement of [[Kovfara]] seceded and formed [[New Switzerland]], a minor independent nation. While its relationship with Ekatera was initially unclear due to puzzling statements from Kovfaran leader [[HealerMageZ]] and confusion over his continued role in an Ekateran discord server, it would be revealed in the coming weeks that Ekatera and New Switzerland are hostile to one another. Ekateran attacks on New Switzerland would mark the first counterattacks from Ekatera during the war.

=== Internal Conflict ===
On 17 January 2025, Ekateran co-founder [[Avan Brightearth]] would become involved and attempt to reach a peaceful conclusion to the war. In response to his involvement, most Ekateran national assets (most notably space claims) were transferred to Altar Sanctorium. This attempt at negotiations would ultimately fail due to a continued unwillingness to negotiate from Ekatera despite Avan's efforts, and Avan would subsequently withdraw from the situation. During this time, [[Emeris]], a founder of the [[Star Legacy]] iteration of Ekatera would revoke their permission for the modern Ekatera to continue using its name, leading to Ekatera temporarily rebranding to NCR.

As of 30 January 2025, Ekatera's total active player count had dropped to 3, resulting in the loss of its bazaar, safezone, and ability to be a crating destination. This led to an immediate joint attack on Altar Sanctorium by combatants from Vega, Lonestar, and Radiance.

=== Collapse of Ekatera ===
On 3 February 2025, the capital of Ekatera was moved to the Republic of Artik, an undeveloped and inactive solo settlement led by [[Meagernine8910]]. Immediately following this, Altar Sanctorium seceded from Ekatera and Kiro231 subsequently announced that she would be "returning to activity logging," or logging on only briefly and infrequently to preserve one's claims rather than to play the game. Ekatera was effectively left as a defunct and inactive one-man nation, with Altar Sanctorium's activity also finding itself in a similar situation. This marked the end of Ekatera and effectively the end of the war.

The nation of '''Orovika''' is the longest lasting [[colonist]] nation on Horizon's End. Focused on building, development of strong national infrastructure, and the generation of personal and national wealth, Orovika and its members have supported the formation and development of numerous nations and settlements, including [[Cortesia Del Mar]], [[Amcar]], and [[Radiance]].

= History =
==Star Legacy==
Orovika was founded by [[GenBukkit]] and [[ItsAlreadyGold]] on [[Star Legacy]] on 5 May 2019, with formal leadership of the nation fluctuating between the two depending on individual activity. Notable players during this time included [[Solesey]] and [[Middosk]].

The [[trade cities]] of Virtuis on Quod Canis and Ortosolis on Harenum were built by GenBukkit and ItsAlreadyGold, respectively. Many of Ortosolis' buildings were later moved to Chimgara to construct a new trade city, but this project was not completed before the announced reset and later shutdown of Star Legacy.

The Lizard dreadnought was the most iconic Orovikan warship, having been built in under a week. The Lizard was the primary ship used in the "Lizard spam" combat doctrine, where massed dreadnought fleets were used to great effect against Orovika's enemies. The Lizard claimed one of the first dreadnought kills, and was the only dreadnought to sink another dreadnought.

[[File:Lizard dreadnought.png|thumb|The Lizard, Orovika's dreadnought on Star Legacy]]

==Horizon's End==
===Founding and early days===
Orovika was founded by GenBukkit on Horizon's End on 22 April 2022 at the capital city of [[Auriko]]. Orovikans living on [[Aret]] joined the [[Aret Gang]], a defensive alliance with other colonist nations and settlements on the planet including [[Imperial Nova]] and the [[Amcaran Social Republic]], to fight against local pirate attacks.

The nation's members were frequent targets of [[piracy]] by [[Echelon]], [[Vulnere]], and [[Detreus]] during this time, with some members managing to momentarily escape piracy by paying bribes. Orovika maintained a neutral position in most wars in the early months of the server, including the [[Cheth Wars]].

Longtime members Solesey and ItsAlreadyGold eventually left Orovika to form [[Panacea]]. On 19 September 2022, GenBukkit left Orovika to pursue a life of individual piracy, transferring leadership to [[gregolegomonkey]]. During this time, gregolegomonkey formalized the nation's laws and government structure, and established planetary mining outposts on a number of planets. ItsAlreadyGold would rejoin Orovika later, reclaiming his position as Head Councilor and taking charge of the nation's recruitment efforts and diplomacy.

Piracy against Orovika diminished as Vulnere's members became inactive and Echelon rebranded as [[Vega]] and ceased piracy, leaving Detreus, later reformed as [[Arimfea]], the sole existing piracy threat. Through a combination of protection payments to Arimfea and Vega, and the payment of [[Vortexion]] and [[FellOffBridge]] of Arimfea for various building projects and warship blueprints, Arimfea's piracy against Orovika was greatly diminished. Occasional unprovoked attacks by FellOffBridge and other Arimfeans would still occur, where they would temporarily leave Arimfea to engage in piracy against Orovika and other nations before eventually rejoining.

===Amcar merger===
[[File:Amcar Merger Flag.png|thumb|A draft for a new banner during the proposed Amcar/Orovika Merger]]
Around 11 April 2023, member settlements of the [[Amcaran Social Republic]] would merge into Orovika, as the two nations shared similar ideals of neutrality. Amcaran settlements would benefit from Orovikan planetary mining infrastructure and protection agreements with individual pirates and pirate nations.

Amcaran settlements began seceding from Orovika on 25 June 2023, and would go on to form [[New Amcar]] and the [[Democratic Republic of Arionic States]].

GenBukkit would rejoin Orovika during this period, with the nation temporarily joining the [[Aret Treaty Organization]] in April 2023.

===Cortesian and Kovfefe recruitment===
In June 2023, the Kovfefan settlements of [[Haven]] and [[Astolfo]], led by [[Blackular]] and [[_omni]] respectively, would join Orovika.

On 3 July 2023, the [[Cortesian]] settlement of [[Setra Maria]] was recruited by and received substantial economic and material support from ItsAlreadyGold.

On 19 July 2023, Blackular and his settlement Haven were permanently expelled from Orovika due to Blackular's attempt to provoke a war with Orovika's ally, Arimfea.

===War with Shadow===

In early 2023, Orovika would begin making payments to the solo pirate [[Noix444]] in exchange for immunity from attacks, as the strategy was previously regarded as successful in deterring Arimfean piracy. By 16 May 2023, Orovika decided to end the immunity payments after Noix444 substantially increased the payment amount as a result of Orovika's growth from the merger with the Amcaran Social Republic, and the recruitment of a small settlement composed of nearly a dozen new players.

On 22 August 2023, Noix444, as a member of [[Shadow]]'s leadership, attacked [[Oliveburger22]], following an attack on the pirate [[BrooklynSupreme]] by GenBukkit on 20 August 2023. A state of war was declared shortly after, with [[Ae0n]] of Shadow joining the fight.

[[xlink97]] would defect from Orovika to assist Shadow in the war around 27 August 2023. Shadow began employing Arimfean mercenaries, most notably [[FellOffBridge]] and [[AdelieXY]], the same day.

On 29 August 2023, [[scar_litty]] was ambushed while she was mining alone in the [[Trench]], and initial terms of surrender were given:
*Surrender a Shadow destroyer to Orovika
*Return all Orovikan wrecks to Orovika
*Stop attacking Orovikans immediately
*Remove Noix444 from Shadow leadership and any significant decision making positions
Shadow as a nation refused to surrender, but scar_litty's medium asteroid miner was captured intact and would be impounded until the end of the war.

On 31 August 2023, Orovika attempted to hire FellOffBridge as a mercenary. Later in battle the same day, FellOffBridge would demand additional payment to remain on Orovika's side, and would go on to assist Shadow fighters in the sinking of two Orovikan frigates when his demands were not met. Orovika would go on to employ [[MaidPierce]] of [[Vega]] as a mercenary for the remainder of the war.

The largest battle of the war occurred on 3 September 2023, when an Orovikan frigate, three Orovikan gunships, and MaidPierce's mercenary gunship fought two Arimfean mercenary frigates and four Shadow gunships in Aret's orbit. The battle ended in an Orovikan victory after all Shadow gunships were sunk, and AdelieXY's frigate was temporarily immobilized and damaged by a ramming attack by gregolegomonkey's gunship, after which both ships were sunk.

On 7 September 2023, Shadow was presented with terms for surrender, identical to those offered on 29 August 2023. Ae0n rejected the terms on 10 September 2023, demanding weekly immunity payments of 15,000c per Orovikan player so they could avoid being attacked by Shadow. In response, Orovika adopted a doctrine of total war against all members of Shadow; attacks had previously been restricted to primarily Shadow combatants and their employed Arimfean mercenaries.

Until the end of the war, Shadow warships and freighters were aggressively pursued and destroyed, forcing Shadow to begin salvaging wrecks to construct functional gunships. Shadow would surrender conditionally on 29 September 2023, turning over a destroyer to Orovika and removing Noix444 from their nation. Arimfean mercenaries were not bound by the surrender terms, and continued to engage in piracy after the end of the war.

As a result of Noix444's increases in immunity payments before the start of the war, FellOffBridge's mid-combat allegiance switch, and Ae0n's demands for immunity payments, the Orovikan Council would vote to outlaw all collaboration with and payments to pirates on 16 September 2023.

===War with RentDueYesterday===
{{Main|Horizon Federation-RentDueYesterday War}}
On 20 September 2023, in the closing days of the war with Shadow, FellOffBridge and other Arimfean mercenaries officially seceded from Arimfea, forming the nation of [[RentDueYesterday]] so they could freely engage in piracy without being restricted by Vortexion and Arimfea's diplomacy. On 29 September 2023, Orovika would form an anti-piracy alliance with [[Imperial Nova]] to defend against piracy by RentDueYesterday.

On 6 October 2023, MaidPierce of Vega attacked and sunk [[KR_Builder]]'s medium freighter, and declared an alliance with RentDueYesterday immediately afterwards, officially beginning the war. The [[Horizon Federation]] was formed between Orovika, Imperial Nova, and Arimfea soon afterwards. The nations of [[Shadow]], [[New Amcar]], and the [[United Federation of Planets]] would join the Horizon Federation during the war, and [[Cortesia Del Mar]] remained in the Horizon Federation after their secession from Orovika on 29 December 2023.

For most of the war, the Horizon Federation would suffer from low [[SvS]] skill, poor coordination, and subpar ship designs, resulting in frequent defeats by RentDueYesterday and Vegan forces. A "lagfleet" doctrine was implemented, where large Horizon Federation fleets would siege stations on weekends that were captured unopposed on weekdays by RentDueYesterday and Vega. Lagfleets were rarely successful in inflicting losses on the enemy, but were effective in preventing an enemy response due to the immense lag caused by having large numbers of ships piloted, causing ships in SvS combat to become unresponsive.

With the stalemate caused by lagfleets and the constant threat of piracy, many members of nations on both sides of the conflict lost interest in the server or became bored, causing a significant drop in player counts. On 7 December 2023, Vega would voluntarily exit the war with a declaration of white peace to all Horizon Federation nations. After Vega's withdrawal, Horizon Federation forces were able to inflict combat losses on RentDueYesterday more frequently, and was able to siege stations held by RentDueYesterday with little opposition. The war would officially end on 8 January 2024 after FellOffBridge joined Vega, leaving RentDueYesterday to declare white peace and reform itself as the [[Andurian Federation]].

After nearly 5 months of war and pirate attacks, Orovika was at peace.

The Horizon Federation was formally dissolved on 5 February 2024.

===War with Vask Authority===
{{Main|Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority Conflict}}
On 23 April 2024, the nations of Orovika, Cortesia Del Mar, and Shadow, later reformed as [[Radiance]], would form the [[Ilios Alliance]] as an economic and defensive partnership.

On 3 May 2024, the Andurian Federation reformed itself as [[Vask Authority]] under the leadership of FellOffBridge, who resumed piracy alongside the rest of the nation. The Ilios Alliance responded by only attacking Vask Authority players who were actively engaging in piracy, to avoid sparking an all-out war with Vask Authority. On 10 June 2024, the nations of Imperial Nova and Arimfea were admitted to the Ilios Alliance, as they had previously been the target of piracy by the Andurian Federation and later, Vask Authority, since the end of a minor war with the Andurian Federation in February 2024. The [[Republic of Carthage]] would later join the war alongside the Ilios Alliance after being attacked by Vask Authority pirates.

On 11 June 2024, the war officially began after a Ilios Alliance response to a pirate attack by [[DearGhost]] of Vask Authority caused DearGhost to flee to Vask Authority's [[Apollyon]] station, leading the rest of Vask Authority to engage Ilios Alliance forces in a fleet battle.

Many battles of the war ended in stalemate, with the Ilios Alliance's usage of numerous [[tackle gunships]] and other small ships being unable to sink Vask Authority's [[battlecruisers]], which were unable to catch up to or hit the small and fast moving Ilios Alliance warships. These tactics culminated in the [[Battle of Asteri]] on 26 June 2024, where Ilios Alliance ships forced the Vask Authority battlecruiser [[ARMAGEDDON]] to unpilot in a Vask Authority owned siege station after it ran out of fuel and was unable to jump away due to being caught in starship gravity wells. The Ilios Alliance attempted to prevent Vask Authority from refueling and repiloting the battlecruiser for 22 hours until the next station siege window, but intervention by Vega 3.5 hours into the blockade resulted in the destruction of the entire Ilios Alliance fleet and the recapture of ARMAGEDDON by Vask Authority.

On 16 July 2024, the battlecruiser ARMAGEDDON was captured by [[_omni]] of Orovika after a PvP fight in space with its pilot, FellOffBridge, and [[z4nityy]], who was piloting a starfighter. This marked the first major victory by the Ilios Alliance during the war.

On 26 July 2024, the Vask Authority battlecruiser CATACLYSM was sunk by a Ilios Alliance fleet, with _omni claiming the kill. The same day, [[Vandrayk]] of Vega offered white peace to the Ilios Alliance on behalf of Vask Authority, threatening Vega's entry into the war if the white peace was not accepted. A ceasefire was agreed to on 29 July 2024 to allow for negotiations, which eventually stalled due to the Ilios Alliance's belief that neither Vega nor Vask Authority were capable of holding up their end of a peace treaty without staff enforcement.

On 5 August 2024, Vandrayk and all members of Vask Authority, except z4nityy, were permanently banned from the server as a result of the [[Vask Authority Leak]], marking an unofficial end to the war. The cease fire was ended by z4nityy, who resumed piracy against much of the server after returning from a temporary ban. Following the end of the war, the nations of Imperial Nova and Arimfea left the Ilios Alliance.

===Long Peace era===
Fatigue from near constant threat of piracy and six months of active war over the past year left many of Orovika's colonist minded players burnt out or inactive, with many newer recruits leaving the server after being attacked. In October 2024, longtime members ItsAlreadyGold and _omni left to join Radiance, with ItsAlreadyGold later joining Cortesia Del Mar.

Orovika continued to engage in occasional anti-piracy actions alongside fellow Ilios Alliance members.

===Present day===
In March 2025, [[DoctorDiamond1]] was promoted to Head Councilor for his recruitment efforts.

On 13 March 2025, the Ilios Alliance was formally disbanded after Radiance left to pursue a more neutral and independent path, with Cortesia Del Mar and Orovika retaining their pre-existing alliance.

=Territorial Claims=
==Cities==
===Dekalli===
{{Main|Dekalli}}
The city of '''Dekalli''' is the industrial capital of Orovika located on [[Rubaciea]], and is led by [[gregolegomonkey]].

===Spatzyosa===
{{Main|Spatzyosa}}
The city of '''Spatzyosa''' is located on [[Luxiterna]], and is led by [[IvorySteam]]. Spatzyosa is slowly undergoing construction with the goal of becoming a trade city.

Spatzyosa was formerly located on [[Damkoth]].

==Additional settlements==
===Bogium===
The settlement of '''Bogium''' is the only notable settlement on [[Eden]], and is led by [[DoctorDiamond]]. Bogium is the successor of Alchemy Mine and Trade inc. (AMT) and extracts rare artifacts, fauna and minerals from Eden. Situated in a harsh environment, Bogium will provide warmth and light for and support deep space travelers.

===HILUX===
The settlement of '''HILUX''' is home to a small mining operation on [[Kovfefe]], ran by [[Crossac]].

Located in the [[Sirius]] system, '''Port Olisar''' is the longest space station on Horizon's End at a length of 1744 blocks, boasting a total block count of 1,444,782. The station was designed and constructed by [[Jurulk]] and [[CookiessassiN]] as a faithful recreation of the defunct station of the same name from Star Citizen.

==Outposts==
===Mining outposts===
Orovika maintains planetary mining outposts on [[Luxiterna]], [[Herdoli]], [[Krio]], [[Aret]], [[Gahara]], [[Kovfefe]], and [[Lioda]].

===Former settlements===
Orovika maintains planetary claims on the former settlements of [[Spatzyosa]] ([[Damkoth]]), [[Auriko]] ([[Aret]]), and [[Okami]] ([[Aerach]]) for preservation and safekeeping.

= Politics =
== Government ==
Orovika's government takes the form of a oligarchic federation where influential and, traditionally, wealthy individuals are responsible for national governance. Member settlements may make their own laws, provided they do not conflict with national laws. Most government positions are appointed, with public elections being deemed a risk to the nation's low drama, laid back, real-life-first playstyle.
* The '''Premier''' is the head of the Orovikan government, and is responsible for enforcing national laws and maintaining national stability.
* The '''Head Councilor''' is the head of the civilian Council, and is appointed by the Premier.
* The '''Head Admiral''' is the head of the national military, and is appointed by the Premier.
* The Orovikan Council is composed of representative '''Councilors''' from individual settlements, or are influential and active players in the nation. Most Councilors are the leaders of their respective settlement.
Orovika is a member of the [[Ilios Alliance]] and maintains a neutral position in server politics, but has engaged in war against pirate nations on several occasions. Indiscriminate piracy and collaboration with pirates is outlawed, and members are discouraged from physically or verbally attacking other players. Orovikans are encouraged to prioritize real-life obligations over the server.
== Laws ==
Orovikan laws are upheld in the spirit of the law, rather than the letter of the law. Core laws regarding the general conduct of nation members are as following:
1.1 Do not harass or provoke other players. Obey server rules. Try to use common sense.
1.2 Theft or griefing of national assets, and stealing from nation members, and members of Friendly and Allied nations, is not permitted.
1.2.1 Please assist members of Friendly and Allied nations in recovering ships in national territory, if you are able to.
1.3 Attacking other players is not permitted, except players noted as pirates in #⁠player-watchlist (Discord channel), players that have attacked nation members or yourself, or members of Enemy nations.
1.3.1 Engaging in indiscriminate piracy is not allowed.
1.4 Players are encouraged to prioritize real-world obligations over the server, and will not be penalized for doing so.
1.5 Collaboration with pirates is not permitted. This includes, but is not limited to: paying for protection, giving pirates rides, allowing pirates to borrow miners/freighters.
A list of all of Orovika's laws is available here: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1InuKDAvtBXMuu-xD1iGtV1dr4UEasgLQ5CmyxeyGXF8/edit?usp=sharing Orovika Laws (Full)]

Long Peace

2025-03-16T04:34:00Z

Gregolegomonkey: /* End of an Era */

The '''"Long Peace"''' is a term used to describe the era of [[Horizon's End]] server politics between the end of the [[Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War]] and March 2025. This era was notable for a relative lack of [[:Category:Conflicts|conflict]] on the server, or the impending threat thereof. This term is borrowed from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Peace real-world concept of the "Long Peace"], which describes the era of relative global peace since the end of World War II.

== History ==
The "Long Peace" is generally held to have started with the end of the Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War on 29 July 2024. The conclusion of this war (and the shortly-following [[Vask Authority Leak]]) saw the end of [[Vask Authority]] as a competent pirating force; the players of Vask Authority had also been the ring-leaders of several previous conflict-starting groups, such as [[RentDueYesterday]], and so their removal from server politics eliminated the chief source of chaos that rankled Horizon's End server politics in 2023 and 2024. Additionally, this moment in time saw a significant shift in the foreign policy of [[Vega]], which reduced in player count and activity, and transitioned towards more inward-focusing gameplay under the leadership of [[MaidPierce]] and [[Solesey]].

=== Dominant Political Regime ===
The result of these developments was that the [[Ilios Alliance]] have become the most potent political bloc shaping server culture and politics. Unlike previous groups to occupy such a position, the Ilios Alliance are dominated by [[colonist]] players, and consequently maintain a non-interventionist and anti-war foreign policy (as [[Radiance]] leader [[star_litty]] described it, "we don't really fight, we just are gay and rich"). This has resulted in a server political regime distinguished by a lack of either large-scale conflict or the imminent threat thereof.

In the Long Peace, server activity both within and without the Ilios Alliance has predominantly focused on city- & station-building and national development, as well as wide-reaching initiatives to promote Horizon's End and retain new players to increase the server's player count. These latter initiatives, such as [[yodabird19]]'s [https://www.reddit.com/r/mcservers/search/?q=Horizon's+End r/mcservers Reddit advertisements] and [[Consue]]'s [https://bsky.app/profile/horizonsend.bsky.social Horizon's End Bluesky account], are motivated by the belief held by many players on the server that the existing player-base of Horizon's End can no longer support large-scale [[:Category:Conflicts|conflict]], and that the rise of new nations is needed to ensure that the server's politics remain interesting in the long term.

=== Battlecruiser Stockpiling ===
During this era of the server, large nations such as [[Imperial Nova]] and [[Cortesia Del Mar]] stockpiled large fleets of warships and [[battlecruisers]]. No nations had major conflicts because of the threat of these powerful warships.

[[File:BCstockpiling.png|thumb|250px|Multiple [[Imperial Nova|Novan]] [[Battlecruiser|battlecruisers]] piloted at the same time on [[survival]], an example of the battlecruiser stockpiling issue perpetuating the long peace.]]

=== Minor Conflicts ===
Some minor conflicts still occurred since the beginning of the Long Peace.

A majority of them are direct derivatives of the [[Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War]]:
* The continued pirating efforts of [[z4nityy]], the sole remaining active member of [[Vask Authority]], are a direct continuation (though a far less potent one) of Vask Authority's previous wartime piracy against the Ilios Alliance.
* The assorted medley of hostile activity directed towards [[Imperial Nova]] and the Ilios Alliance by [[walkemdownand_kickintheydoors]] is pursued by [[Sherbet_S]], a former [[Vega]] grinder who expressed great support for Vask Authority during their reign, and disdain for the Ilios Alliance and its members.

The sole substantial novel conflict to arise on the server since the end of the [[Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War]] was the [[Nova-Luxit War]], a minor conflict between Imperial Nova and the [[United Luxit States]] lasting from 17 November to 8 December, 2024.

===End of an Era===
On 8 March 2025, Vega and Imperial Nova mutually declared [[Vega-Nova War|war]] following the [[7 March Vega-Nova Siege]] and after several smaller sieges and battles over the prior weeks. These events brought an official end to the current era of peace, alongside an increase in piracy by the nation of [[Oblivion]] in early March.

On 13 March 2025, the Ilios Alliance was disbanded after Radiance left to pursue a more neutral and independent path, with Cortesia Del Mar and [[Orovika]] choosing to retain their alliance.

===Aret===
{{Main|Aret}}
'''Aret''' is the second planet located in the Regulus system. Formerly an ocean planet, the Regulan star's intensifying brightness left naught but a sandy mesa. The arid land is riddled with huge saltlakes, giant skeletons, and a handful of ravines where the last remaining sea life survive.

===Aerach===
{{Main|Aerach}}
'''Aerach''' is the second planet located in the Regulus system. Its beautiful hilly landscapes are blanketed by delicate cherry blossom trees. Named after the Irish word for gay, this temperate planet is based on the planet of Sakaro from Star Legacy.

===Vask===
{{Main|Vask}}
'''Vask''' is the third planet located in the Regulus system. This planet is so rich in copper that massive veins of the metal run far and wide across its mountainous surface. The southern ocean is among the largest continuous bodies of water in the Galaxy.

===Gahara===
{{Main|Gahara}}
'''Gahara''' is the fourth planet located in the Regulus system. A frozen wasteland dotted with massive, colorful glaciers and twisting spires of ice. Coral forests thrive in the planet's frigid oceans, and materials highly valued in electrical components glisten among the frost.

==Planets==
===Isik===
{{Main|Isik}}
'''Isik''' is the first planet located in the Ilios system. In defiance of the nearby Ilios star, a thick fog veils the planet's hellish terrain, filtering out the light of day. Buried beneath the lava-charred soil once slept an exceedingly rare primordial metal, extracted until all remaining traces had vanished.

===Chimgara===
{{Main|Chimgara}}
'''Chimgara''' is the second planet located in the Ilios system. It is covered by a jungle of crimson plants, while a blue variant thrives in the many sinkholes that punctuate the planet's surface. The local fauna primarily consists of arthropod species, able to easily navigate the sheer terrain.

===Damkoth===
{{Main|Damkoth}}
'''Damkoth''' is the third planet located in the Ilios system. Caverns lined with pure, crystallized Chetherite run throughout the entire planet's dark crust, as though it were a massive geode.

===Krio===
{{Main|Krio}}
'''Krio''' is the fourth planet located in the Ilios system. Deep snow and towering ice cover the planet's craggy landscape, with the night patrolled by skeletal lifeforms with an affinity for the bitter, paralyzing cold. A true diamond in the rough, if you can stand the harsh living conditions.

[[File:asteroid_asteri.png|thumb|An asteroid unique to the Asteri System, containing [[Chetherite]], [[Coal]], and [[Iron]].]]

The '''Asteri System''' is a star system located in the southwest corner of the Galaxy. It is the largest system compared to its neighbors, with five planets orbiting its star. Common [[asteroids]] contain [[Chetherite]], [[Coal]], and [[Iron]].

==Gates==
===Gates to Regulus===

==Planets==
===Chandra===
{{Main|Chandra}}
'''Chandra''' is the first planet located in the Asteri system. Despite its close proximity to the Asterian star and lack of an atmosphere, hostile lifeforms roam the craters which cover the planet's surface.

===Ilius===
{{Main|Ilius}}
'''Ilius''' is the second planet located in the Asteri system. Most notable for its academy on galaxywide basics and a balanced environment perfect for livestock. Not to be confused with the Ilios System; That's a lot bigger!

===Luxiterna===
{{Main|Luxiterna}}
'''Luxiterna''' is the third planet located in the Asteri system. It's (supposed to be) bathed in eternal night, and massive mushrooms sprout from its vibrant surface. Researchers speculate the fungi's bioluminescence is a result of the planet's irradiated soil.

===Herdoli===
{{Main|Herdoli}}
'''Herdoli''' is the fourth planet located in the Asteri system. A desert planet whose ochre sands contain copper-rich sediment. Devoid of flora to take shade under, one endemic species of hostile fauna is naturally resistant to solar radiation.

===Rubaciea===
{{Main|Rubaciea}}
'''Rubaciea''' is the fifth planet located in the Asteri system. Its heavily glaciated surface is interrupted by abundant cracks and cliffs. Beneath the snow flats are huge caverns and chasms which occupy most of the underground, humming with energized materials.

Long Peace

2025-03-15T22:15:33Z

Gregolegomonkey: /* End of an Era */

The '''"Long Peace"''' is a term used to describe the era of [[Horizon's End]] server politics between the end of the [[Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War]] and March 2025. This era was notable for a relative lack of [[:Category:Conflicts|conflict]] on the server, or the impending threat thereof. This term is borrowed from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Peace real-world concept of the "Long Peace"], which describes the era of relative global peace since the end of World War II.

== History ==
The "Long Peace" is generally held to have started with the end of the Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War on 29 July 2024. The conclusion of this war (and the shortly-following [[Vask Authority Leak]]) saw the end of [[Vask Authority]] as a competent pirating force; the players of Vask Authority had also been the ring-leaders of several previous conflict-starting groups, such as [[RentDueYesterday]], and so their removal from server politics eliminated the chief source of chaos that rankled Horizon's End server politics in 2023 and 2024. Additionally, this moment in time saw a significant shift in the foreign policy of [[Vega]], which reduced in player count and activity, and transitioned towards more inward-focusing gameplay under the leadership of [[MaidPierce]] and [[Solesey]].

=== Dominant Political Regime ===
The result of these developments was that the [[Ilios Alliance]] have become the most potent political bloc shaping server culture and politics. Unlike previous groups to occupy such a position, the Ilios Alliance are dominated by [[colonist]] players, and consequently maintain a non-interventionist and anti-war foreign policy (as [[Radiance]] leader [[star_litty]] described it, "we don't really fight, we just are gay and rich"). This has resulted in a server political regime distinguished by a lack of either large-scale conflict or the imminent threat thereof.

In the Long Peace, server activity both within and without the Ilios Alliance has predominantly focused on city- & station-building and national development, as well as wide-reaching initiatives to promote Horizon's End and retain new players to increase the server's player count. These latter initiatives, such as [[yodabird19]]'s [https://www.reddit.com/r/mcservers/search/?q=Horizon's+End r/mcservers Reddit advertisements] and [[Consue]]'s [https://bsky.app/profile/horizonsend.bsky.social Horizon's End Bluesky account], are motivated by the belief held by many players on the server that the existing player-base of Horizon's End can no longer support large-scale [[:Category:Conflicts|conflict]], and that the rise of new nations is needed to ensure that the server's politics remain interesting in the long term.

=== Battlecruiser Stockpiling ===
During this era of the server, large nations such as [[Imperial Nova]] and [[Cortesia Del Mar]] stockpiled large fleets of warships and [[battlecruisers]]. No nations had major conflicts because of the threat of these powerful warships.

[[File:BCstockpiling.png|thumb|250px|Multiple [[Imperial Nova|Novan]] [[Battlecruiser|battlecruisers]] piloted at the same time on [[survival]], an example of the battlecruiser stockpiling issue perpetuating the long peace.]]

=== Minor Conflicts ===
Some minor conflicts still occurred since the beginning of the Long Peace.

A majority of them are direct derivatives of the [[Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War]]:
* The continued pirating efforts of [[z4nityy]], the sole remaining active member of [[Vask Authority]], are a direct continuation (though a far less potent one) of Vask Authority's previous wartime piracy against the Ilios Alliance.
* The assorted medley of hostile activity directed towards [[Imperial Nova]] and the Ilios Alliance by [[walkemdownand_kickintheydoors]] is pursued by [[Sherbet_S]], a former [[Vega]] grinder who expressed great support for Vask Authority during their reign, and disdain for the Ilios Alliance and its members.

The sole substantial novel conflict to arise on the server since the end of the [[Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority War]] was the [[Nova-Luxit War]], a minor conflict between Imperial Nova and the [[United Luxit States]] lasting from 17 November to 8 December, 2024.

===End of an Era===
On 8 March 2025, Vega and Imperial Nova mutually declared war following the [[7 March Vega-Nova Siege]] and after several smaller sieges and battles over the prior weeks. These events brought an official end to the current era of peace, alongside an increase in piracy by the nation of [[Oblivion]] in early March.

On 13 March 2025, the Ilios Alliance was disbanded after Radiance left to pursue a more neutral and independent path, with Cortesia Del Mar and [[Orovika]] choosing to retain their alliance.

The nation of '''Orovika''' is the longest lasting colonist nation on Horizon's End. Focused on building, development of strong national infrastructure, and the generation of personal and national wealth, Orovika and its members have supported the formation and development of numerous nations and settlements, including [[Cortesia Del Mar]], [[Amcar]], and [[Radiance]].

= History =
==Star Legacy==
Orovika was founded by [[GenBukkit]] and [[ItsAlreadyGold]] on [[Star Legacy]] on 5 May 2019, with formal leadership of the nation fluctuating between the two depending on individual activity. Notable players during this time included [[Solesey]] and [[Middosk]].

The [[trade cities]] of Virtuis on Quod Canis and Ortosolis on Harenum were built by GenBukkit and ItsAlreadyGold, respectively. Many of Ortosolis' buildings were later moved to Chimgara to construct a new trade city, but this project was not completed before the announced reset and later shutdown of Star Legacy.

The Lizard dreadnought was the most iconic Orovikan warship, having been built in under a week. The Lizard was the primary ship used in the "Lizard spam" combat doctrine, where massed dreadnought fleets were used to great effect against Orovika's enemies. The Lizard claimed one of the first dreadnought kills, and was the only dreadnought to sink another dreadnought.

[[File:Lizard dreadnought.png|thumb|The Lizard, Orovika's dreadnought on Star Legacy]]

==Horizon's End==
===Founding and early days===
Orovika was founded by GenBukkit on Horizon's End on 22 April 2022 at the capital city of [[Auriko]]. Orovikans living on [[Aret]] joined the [[Aret Gang]], a defensive alliance with other colonist nations and settlements on the planet including [[Imperial Nova]] and the [[Amcaran Social Republic]], to fight against local pirate attacks.

The nation's members were frequent targets of [[piracy]] by [[Echelon]], [[Vulnere]], and [[Detreus]] during this time, with some members managing to momentarily escape piracy by paying bribes. Orovika maintained a neutral position in most wars in the early months of the server, including the [[Cheth Wars]].

Longtime members Solesey and ItsAlreadyGold eventually left Orovika to form [[Panacea]]. On 19 September 2022, GenBukkit left Orovika to pursue a life of individual piracy, transferring leadership to [[gregolegomonkey]]. During this time, gregolegomonkey formalized the nation's laws and government structure, and established planetary mining outposts on a number of planets. ItsAlreadyGold would rejoin Orovika later, reclaiming his position as Head Councilor and taking charge of the nation's recruitment efforts and diplomacy.

Piracy against Orovika diminished as Vulnere's members became inactive and Echelon rebranded as [[Vega]] and ceased piracy, leaving Detreus, later reformed as [[Arimfea]], the sole existing piracy threat. Through a combination of protection payments to Arimfea and Vega, and the payment of [[Vortexion]] and [[FellOffBridge]] of Arimfea for various building projects and warship blueprints, Arimfea's piracy against Orovika was greatly diminished. Occasional unprovoked attacks by FellOffBridge and other Arimfeans would still occur, where they would temporarily leave Arimfea to engage in piracy against Orovika and other nations before eventually rejoining.

===Amcar merger===
[[File:Amcar Merger Flag.png|thumb|A draft for a new banner during the proposed Amcar/Orovika Merger]]
Around 11 April 2023, member settlements of the [[Amcaran Social Republic]] would merge into Orovika, as the two nations shared similar ideals of neutrality. Amcaran settlements would benefit from Orovikan planetary mining infrastructure and protection agreements with individual pirates and pirate nations.

Amcaran settlements began seceding from Orovika on 25 June 2023, and would go on to form [[New Amcar]] and the [[Democratic Republic of Arionic States]].

GenBukkit would rejoin Orovika during this period, with the nation temporarily joining the [[Aret Treaty Organization]] in April 2023.

===Cortesian and Kovfefe recruitment===
In June 2023, the Kovfefan settlements of [[Haven]] and [[Astolfo]], led by [[Blackular]] and [[_omni]] respectively, would join Orovika.

On 3 July 2023, the [[Cortesian]] settlement of [[Setra Maria]] was recruited by and received substantial economic and material support from ItsAlreadyGold.

On 19 July 2023, Blackular and his settlement Haven were permanently expelled from Orovika due to Blackular's attempt to provoke a war with Orovika's ally, Arimfea.

===War with Shadow===
{{Main|Shadow-Orovika War}}
In early 2023, Orovika would begin making payments to the solo pirate [[Noix444]] in exchange for immunity from attacks, as the strategy was previously regarded as successful in deterring Arimfean piracy. By 16 May 2023, Orovika decided to end the immunity payments after Noix444 substantially increased the payment amount as a result of Orovika's growth from the merger with the Amcaran Social Republic, and the recruitment of a small settlement composed of nearly a dozen new players.

On 22 August 2023, Noix444, as a member of [[Shadow]]'s leadership, attacked [[Oliveburger22]], following an attack on the pirate [[BrooklynSupreme]] by GenBukkit on 20 August 2023. A state of war was declared shortly after, with [[Ae0n]] of Shadow joining the fight.

[[xlink97]] would defect from Orovika to assist Shadow in the war around 27 August 2023. Shadow began employing Arimfean mercenaries, most notably [[FellOffBridge]] and [[AdelieXY]], the same day.

On 29 August 2023, [[scar_litty]] was ambushed while she was mining alone in the [[Trench]], and initial terms of surrender were given:
*Surrender a Shadow destroyer to Orovika
*Return all Orovikan wrecks to Orovika
*Stop attacking Orovikans immediately
*Remove Noix444 from Shadow leadership and any significant decision making positions
Shadow as a nation refused to surrender, but scar_litty's medium asteroid miner was captured intact and would be impounded until the end of the war.

On 31 August 2023, Orovika attempted to hire FellOffBridge as a mercenary. Later in battle the same day, FellOffBridge would demand additional payment to remain on Orovika's side, and would go on to assist Shadow fighters in the sinking of two Orovikan frigates when his demands were not met. Orovika would go on to employ [[MaidPierce]] of [[Vega]] as a mercenary for the remainder of the war.

The largest battle of the war occurred on 3 September 2023, when an Orovikan frigate, three Orovikan gunships, and MaidPierce's mercenary gunship fought two Arimfean mercenary frigates and four Shadow gunships in Aret's orbit. The battle ended in an Orovikan victory after all Shadow gunships were sunk, and AdelieXY's frigate was temporarily immobilized and damaged by a ramming attack by gregolegomonkey's gunship, after which both ships were sunk.

On 7 September 2023, Shadow was presented with terms for surrender, identical to those offered on 29 August 2023. Ae0n rejected the terms on 10 September 2023, demanding weekly immunity payments of 15,000c per Orovikan player so they could avoid being attacked by Shadow. In response, Orovika adopted a doctrine of total war against all members of Shadow; attacks had previously been restricted to primarily Shadow combatants and their employed Arimfean mercenaries.

Until the end of the war, Shadow warships and freighters were aggressively pursued and destroyed, forcing Shadow to begin salvaging wrecks to construct functional gunships. Shadow would surrender conditionally on 29 September 2023, turning over a destroyer to Orovika and removing Noix444 from their nation. Arimfean mercenaries were not bound by the surrender terms, and continued to engage in piracy after the end of the war.

As a result of Noix444's increases in immunity payments before the start of the war, FellOffBridge's mid-combat allegiance switch, and Ae0n's demands for immunity payments, the Orovikan Council would vote to outlaw all collaboration with and payments to pirates on 16 September 2023.

===War with RentDueYesterday===
{{Main|Horizon Federation-RentDueYesterday War}}
On 20 September 2023, in the closing days of the war with Shadow, FellOffBridge and other Arimfean mercenaries officially seceded from Arimfea, forming the nation of [[RentDueYesterday]] so they could freely engage in piracy without being restricted by Vortexion and Arimfea's diplomacy. On 29 September 2023, Orovika would form an anti-piracy alliance with [[Imperial Nova]] to defend against piracy by RentDueYesterday.

On 6 October 2023, MaidPierce of Vega attacked and sunk [[KR_Builder]]'s medium freighter, and declared an alliance with RentDueYesterday immediately afterwards, officially beginning the war. The [[Horizon Federation]] was formed between Orovika, Imperial Nova, and Arimfea soon afterwards. The nations of [[Shadow]], [[New Amcar]], and the [[United Federation of Planets]] would join the Horizon Federation during the war, and [[Cortesia Del Mar]] remained in the Horizon Federation after their secession from Orovika on 29 December 2023.

For most of the war, the Horizon Federation would suffer from low [[SvS]] skill, poor coordination, and subpar ship designs, resulting in frequent defeats by RentDueYesterday and Vegan forces. A "lagfleet" doctrine was implemented, where large Horizon Federation fleets would siege stations on weekends that were captured unopposed on weekdays by RentDueYesterday and Vega. Lagfleets were rarely successful in inflicting losses on the enemy, but were effective in preventing an enemy response due to the immense lag caused by having large numbers of ships piloted, causing ships in SvS combat to become unresponsive.

With the stalemate caused by lagfleets and the constant threat of piracy, many members of nations on both sides of the conflict lost interest in the server or became bored, causing a significant drop in player counts. On 7 December 2023, Vega would voluntarily exit the war with a declaration of white peace to all Horizon Federation nations. After Vega's withdrawal, Horizon Federation forces were able to inflict combat losses on RentDueYesterday more frequently, and was able to siege stations held by RentDueYesterday with little opposition. The war would officially end on 8 January 2024 after FellOffBridge joined Vega, leaving RentDueYesterday to declare white peace and reform itself as the [[Andurian Federation]].

After nearly 5 months of war and pirate attacks, Orovika was at peace.

The Horizon Federation was formally dissolved on 5 February 2024.

===War with Vask Authority===
{{Main|Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority Conflict}}
On 23 April 2024, the nations of Orovika, Cortesia Del Mar, and Shadow, later reformed as [[Radiance]], would form the [[Ilios Alliance]] as an economic and defensive partnership.

On 3 May 2024, the Andurian Federation reformed itself as [[Vask Authority]] under the leadership of FellOffBridge, who resumed piracy alongside the rest of the nation. The Ilios Alliance responded by only attacking Vask Authority players who were actively engaging in piracy, to avoid sparking an all-out war with Vask Authority. On 10 June 2024, the nations of Imperial Nova and Arimfea were admitted to the Ilios Alliance, as they had previously been the target of piracy by the Andurian Federation and later, Vask Authority, since the end of a minor war with the Andurian Federation in February 2024. The [[Republic of Carthage]] would later join the war alongside the Ilios Alliance after being attacked by Vask Authority pirates.

On 11 June 2024, the war officially began after a Ilios Alliance response to a pirate attack by [[DearGhost]] of Vask Authority caused DearGhost to flee to Vask Authority's [[Apollyon]] station, leading the rest of Vask Authority to engage Ilios Alliance forces in a fleet battle.

Many battles of the war ended in stalemate, with the Ilios Alliance's usage of numerous [[tackle gunships]] and other small ships being unable to sink Vask Authority's [[battlecruisers]], which were unable to catch up to or hit the small and fast moving Ilios Alliance warships. These tactics culminated in the [[Battle of Asteri]] on 26 June 2024, where Ilios Alliance ships forced the Vask Authority battlecruiser [[ARMAGEDDON]] to unpilot in a Vask Authority owned siege station after it ran out of fuel and was unable to jump away due to being caught in starship gravity wells. The Ilios Alliance attempted to prevent Vask Authority from refueling and repiloting the battlecruiser for 22 hours until the next station siege window, but intervention by Vega 3.5 hours into the blockade resulted in the destruction of the entire Ilios Alliance fleet and the recapture of ARMAGEDDON by Vask Authority.

On 16 July 2024, the battlecruiser ARMAGEDDON was captured by [[_omni]] of Orovika after a PvP fight in space with its pilot, FellOffBridge, and [[z4nityy]], who was piloting a starfighter. This marked the first major victory by the Ilios Alliance during the war.

On 26 July 2024, the Vask Authority battlecruiser CATACLYSM was sunk by a Ilios Alliance fleet, with _omni claiming the kill. The same day, [[Vandrayk]] of Vega offered white peace to the Ilios Alliance on behalf of Vask Authority, threatening Vega's entry into the war if the white peace was not accepted. A ceasefire was agreed to on 29 July 2024 to allow for negotiations, which eventually stalled due to the Ilios Alliance's belief that neither Vega nor Vask Authority were capable of holding up their end of a peace treaty without staff enforcement.

On 5 August 2024, Vandrayk and all members of Vask Authority, except z4nityy, were permanently banned from the server as a result of the [[Vask Authority Leak]], marking an unofficial end to the war. The cease fire was ended by z4nityy, who resumed piracy against much of the server after returning from a temporary ban. Following the end of the war, the nations of Imperial Nova and Arimfea left the Ilios Alliance.

===Long Peace era===
Fatigue from near constant threat of piracy and six months of active war over the past year left many of Orovika's colonist minded players burnt out or inactive, with many newer recruits leaving the server after being attacked. In October 2024, longtime members ItsAlreadyGold and _omni left to join Radiance, with ItsAlreadyGold later joining Cortesia Del Mar.

Orovika continued to engage in occasional anti-piracy actions alongside fellow Ilios Alliance members.

===Present day===
In March 2025, [[DoctorDiamond1]] was promoted to Head Councilor for his recruitment efforts.

On 13 March 2025, the Ilios Alliance was formally disbanded after Radiance left to pursue a more neutral and independent path, with Cortesia Del Mar and Orovika retaining their pre-existing alliance.

=Territorial Claims=
==Cities==
===Dekalli===
{{Main|Dekalli}}
The city of '''Dekalli''' is the industrial capital of Orovika located on [[Rubaciea]], and is led by [[gregolegomonkey]]. Notable structures include the Port Dekalli Trade Center to the south and the central subterranean manufacturing complex to the west. The Orovikan trade and mining fleets are based at Dekalli.

===Spatzyosa===
{{Main|Spatzyosa}}
The city of '''Spatzyosa''' is located on [[Luxiterna]], and is led by [[IvorySteam]]. Spatzyosa is slowly undergoing construction with the goal of becoming a trade city.

Spatzyosa was formerly located on [[Damkoth]].

The nation of '''Orovika''' is the longest lasting colonist nation on Horizon's End. Focused on building, development of strong national infrastructure, and the generation of personal and national wealth, Orovika and its members have supported the formation and development of numerous nations and settlements, including [[Cortesia Del Mar]], [[Amcar]], and [[Radiance]].

= History =
==Star Legacy==
Orovika was founded by [[GenBukkit]] and [[ItsAlreadyGold]] on [[Star Legacy]] on 5 May 2019, with formal leadership of the nation fluctuating between the two depending on individual activity. Notable players during this time included [[Solesey]] and [[Middosk]].

The [[trade cities]] of Virtuis on Quod Canis and Ortosolis on Harenum were built by GenBukkit and ItsAlreadyGold, respectively. Many of Ortosolis' buildings were later moved to Chimgara to construct a new trade city, but this project was not completed before the announced reset and later shutdown of Star Legacy.

The Lizard dreadnought was the most iconic Orovikan warship, having been built in under a week. The Lizard was the primary ship used in the "Lizard spam" combat doctrine, where massed dreadnought fleets were used to great effect against Orovika's enemies. The Lizard claimed one of the first dreadnought kills, and was the only dreadnought to sink another dreadnought.

[[File:Lizard dreadnought.png|thumb|The Lizard, Orovika's dreadnought on Star Legacy]]

==Horizon's End==
===Founding and early days===
Orovika was founded by GenBukkit on Horizon's End on 22 April 2022 at the capital city of [[Auriko]]. Orovikans living on [[Aret]] joined the [[Aret Gang]], a defensive alliance with other colonist nations and settlements on the planet including [[Imperial Nova]] and the [[Amcaran Social Republic]], to fight against local pirate attacks.

The nation's members were frequent targets of [[piracy]] by [[Echelon]], [[Vulnere]], and [[Detreus]] during this time, with some members managing to momentarily escape piracy by paying bribes. Orovika maintained a neutral position in most wars in the early months of the server, including the [[Cheth Wars]].

Longtime members Solesey and ItsAlreadyGold eventually left Orovika to form [[Panacea]]. On 19 September 2022, GenBukkit left Orovika to pursue a life of individual piracy, transferring leadership to [[gregolegomonkey]]. During this time, gregolegomonkey formalized the nation's laws and government structure, and established planetary mining outposts on a number of planets. ItsAlreadyGold would rejoin Orovika later, reclaiming his position as Head Councilor and taking charge of the nation's recruitment efforts and diplomacy.

Piracy against Orovika diminished as Vulnere's members became inactive and Echelon rebranded as [[Vega]] and ceased piracy, leaving Detreus, later reformed as [[Arimfea]], the sole existing piracy threat. Through a combination of protection payments to Arimfea and Vega, and the payment of [[Vortexion]] and [[FellOffBridge]] of Arimfea for various building projects and warship blueprints, Arimfea's piracy against Orovika was greatly diminished. Occasional unprovoked attacks by FellOffBridge and other Arimfeans would still occur, where they would temporarily leave Arimfea to engage in piracy against Orovika and other nations before eventually rejoining.

===Amcar merger===
[[File:Amcar Merger Flag.png|thumb|A draft for a new banner during the proposed Amcar/Orovika Merger]]
Around 11 April 2023, member settlements of the [[Amcaran Social Republic]] would merge into Orovika, as the two nations shared similar ideals of neutrality. Amcaran settlements would benefit from Orovikan planetary mining infrastructure and protection agreements with individual pirates and pirate nations.

Amcaran settlements began seceding from Orovika on 25 June 2023, and would go on to form [[New Amcar]] and the [[Democratic Republic of Arionic States]].

GenBukkit would rejoin Orovika during this period, with the nation temporarily joining the [[Aret Treaty Organization]] in April 2023.

===Cortesian and Kovfefe recruitment===
In June 2023, the Kovfefan settlements of [[Haven]] and [[Astolfo]], led by [[Blackular]] and [[_omni]] respectively, would join Orovika.

On 3 July 2023, the [[Cortesian]] settlement of [[Setra Maria]] was recruited by and received substantial economic and material support from ItsAlreadyGold.

On 19 July 2023, Blackular and his settlement Haven were permanently expelled from Orovika due to Blackular's attempt to provoke a war with Orovika's ally, Arimfea.

===War with Shadow===
{{Main|Shadow-Orovika War}}
In early 2023, Orovika would begin making payments to the solo pirate [[Noix444]] in exchange for immunity from attacks, as the strategy was previously regarded as successful in deterring Arimfean piracy. By 16 May 2023, Orovika decided to end the immunity payments after Noix444 substantially increased the payment amount as a result of Orovika's growth from the merger with the Amcaran Social Republic, and the recruitment of a small settlement composed of nearly a dozen new players.

On 22 August 2023, Noix444, as a member of [[Shadow]]'s leadership, attacked [[Oliveburger22]], following an attack on the pirate [[BrooklynSupreme]] by GenBukkit on 20 August 2023. A state of war was declared shortly after, with [[Ae0n]] of Shadow joining the fight.

[[xlink97]] would defect from Orovika to assist Shadow in the war around 27 August 2023. Shadow began employing Arimfean mercenaries, most notably [[FellOffBridge]] and [[AdelieXY]], the same day.

On 29 August 2023, [[scar_litty]] was ambushed while she was mining alone in the [[Trench]], and initial terms of surrender were given:
*Surrender a Shadow destroyer to Orovika
*Return all Orovikan wrecks to Orovika
*Stop attacking Orovikans immediately
*Remove Noix444 from Shadow leadership and any significant decision making positions
Shadow as a nation refused to surrender, but scar_litty's medium asteroid miner was captured intact and would be impounded until the end of the war.

On 31 August 2023, Orovika attempted to hire FellOffBridge as a mercenary. Later in battle the same day, FellOffBridge would demand additional payment to remain on Orovika's side, and would go on to assist Shadow fighters in the sinking of two Orovikan frigates when his demands were not met. Orovika would go on to employ [[MaidPierce]] of [[Vega]] as a mercenary for the remainder of the war.

The largest battle of the war occurred on 3 September 2023, when an Orovikan frigate, three Orovikan gunships, and MaidPierce's mercenary gunship fought two Arimfean mercenary frigates and four Shadow gunships in Aret's orbit. The battle ended in an Orovikan victory after all Shadow gunships were sunk, and AdelieXY's frigate was temporarily immobilized and damaged by a ramming attack by gregolegomonkey's gunship, after which both ships were sunk.

On 7 September 2023, Shadow was presented with terms for surrender, identical to those offered on 29 August 2023. Ae0n rejected the terms on 10 September 2023, demanding weekly immunity payments of 15,000c per Orovikan player so they could avoid being attacked by Shadow. In response, Orovika adopted a doctrine of total war against all members of Shadow; attacks had previously been restricted to primarily Shadow combatants and their employed Arimfean mercenaries.

Until the end of the war, Shadow warships and freighters were aggressively pursued and destroyed, forcing Shadow to begin salvaging wrecks to construct functional gunships. Shadow would surrender conditionally on 29 September 2023, turning over a destroyer to Orovika and removing Noix444 from their nation. Arimfean mercenaries were not bound by the surrender terms, and continued to engage in piracy after the end of the war.

As a result of Noix444's increases in immunity payments before the start of the war, FellOffBridge's mid-combat allegiance switch, and Ae0n's demands for immunity payments, the Orovikan Council would vote to outlaw all collaboration with and payments to pirates on 16 September 2023.

===War with RentDueYesterday===
{{Main|Horizon Federation-RentDueYesterday War}}
On 20 September 2023, in the closing days of the war with Shadow, FellOffBridge and other Arimfean mercenaries officially seceded from Arimfea, forming the nation of [[RentDueYesterday]] so they could freely engage in piracy without being restricted by Vortexion and Arimfea's diplomacy. On 29 September 2023, Orovika would form an anti-piracy alliance with [[Imperial Nova]] to defend against piracy by RentDueYesterday.

On 6 October 2023, MaidPierce of Vega attacked and sunk [[KR_Builder]]'s medium freighter, and declared an alliance with RentDueYesterday immediately afterwards, officially beginning the war. The [[Horizon Federation]] was formed between Orovika, Imperial Nova, and Arimfea soon afterwards. The nations of [[Shadow]], [[New Amcar]], and the [[United Federation of Planets]] would join the Horizon Federation during the war, and [[Cortesia Del Mar]] remained in the Horizon Federation after their secession from Orovika on 29 December 2023.

For most of the war, the Horizon Federation would suffer from low [[SvS]] skill, poor coordination, and subpar ship designs, resulting in frequent defeats by RentDueYesterday and Vegan forces. A "lagfleet" doctrine was implemented, where large Horizon Federation fleets would siege stations on weekends that were captured unopposed on weekdays by RentDueYesterday and Vega. Lagfleets were rarely successful in inflicting losses on the enemy, but were effective in preventing an enemy response due to the immense lag caused by having large numbers of ships piloted, causing ships in SvS combat to become unresponsive.

With the stalemate caused by lagfleets and the constant threat of piracy, many members of nations on both sides of the conflict lost interest in the server or became bored, causing a significant drop in player counts. On 7 December 2023, Vega would voluntarily exit the war with a declaration of white peace to all Horizon Federation nations. After Vega's withdrawal, Horizon Federation forces were able to inflict combat losses on RentDueYesterday more frequently, and was able to siege stations held by RentDueYesterday with little opposition. The war would officially end on 8 January 2024 after FellOffBridge joined Vega, leaving RentDueYesterday to declare white peace and reform itself as the [[Andurian Federation]].

After nearly 5 months of war and pirate attacks, Orovika was at peace.

The Horizon Federation was formally dissolved on 5 February 2024.

===War with Vask Authority===
{{Main|Ilios Alliance-Vask Authority Conflict}}
On 23 April 2024, the nations of Orovika, Cortesia Del Mar, and Shadow, later reformed as [[Radiance]], would form the [[Ilios Alliance]] as an economic and defensive partnership.

On 3 May 2024, the Andurian Federation reformed itself as [[Vask Authority]] under the leadership of FellOffBridge, who resumed piracy alongside the rest of the nation. The Ilios Alliance responded by only attacking Vask Authority players who were actively engaging in piracy, to avoid sparking an all-out war with Vask Authority. On 10 June 2024, the nations of Imperial Nova and Arimfea were admitted to the Ilios Alliance, as they had previously been the target of piracy by the Andurian Federation and later, Vask Authority, since the end of a minor war with the Andurian Federation in February 2024. The [[Republic of Carthage]] would later join the war alongside the Ilios Alliance after being attacked by Vask Authority pirates.

On 11 June 2024, the war officially began after a Ilios Alliance response to a pirate attack by [[DearGhost]] of Vask Authority caused DearGhost to flee to Vask Authority's [[Apollyon]] station, leading the rest of Vask Authority to engage Ilios Alliance forces in a fleet battle.

Many battles of the war ended in stalemate, with the Ilios Alliance's usage of numerous [[tackle gunships]] and other small ships being unable to sink Vask Authority's [[battlecruisers]], which were unable to catch up to or hit the small and fast moving Ilios Alliance warships. These tactics culminated in the [[Battle of Asteri]] on 26 June 2024, where Ilios Alliance ships forced the Vask Authority battlecruiser [[ARMAGEDDON]] to unpilot in a Vask Authority owned siege station after it ran out of fuel and was unable to jump away due to being caught in starship gravity wells. The Ilios Alliance attempted to prevent Vask Authority from refueling and repiloting the battlecruiser for 22 hours until the next station siege window, but intervention by Vega 3.5 hours into the blockade resulted in the destruction of the entire Ilios Alliance fleet and the recapture of ARMAGEDDON by Vask Authority.

On 16 July 2024, the battlecruiser ARMAGEDDON was captured by [[_omni]] of Orovika after a PvP fight in space with its pilot, FellOffBridge, and [[z4nityy]], who was piloting a starfighter. This marked the first major victory by the Ilios Alliance during the war.

On 26 July 2024, the Vask Authority battlecruiser CATACLYSM was sunk by a Ilios Alliance fleet, with _omni claiming the kill. The same day, [[Vandrayk]] of Vega offered white peace to the Ilios Alliance on behalf of Vask Authority, threatening Vega's entry into the war if the white peace was not accepted. A ceasefire was agreed to on 29 July 2024 to allow for negotiations, which eventually stalled due to the Ilios Alliance's belief that neither Vega nor Vask Authority were capable of holding up their end of a peace treaty without staff enforcement.

On 5 August 2024, Vandrayk and all members of Vask Authority, except z4nityy, were permanently banned from the server as a result of the [[Vask Authority Leak]], marking an unofficial end to the war. The cease fire was ended by z4nityy, who resumed piracy against much of the server after returning from a temporary ban. Following the end of the war, the nations of Imperial Nova and Arimfea left the Ilios Alliance.

===Long Peace era===
Fatigue from near constant threat of piracy and six months of active war over the past year left many of Orovika's colonist minded players burnt out or inactive, with many newer recruits leaving the server after being attacked. In October 2024, longtime members ItsAlreadyGold and _omni left to join Radiance, with ItsAlreadyGold later joining Cortesia Del Mar.

Orovika continued to engage in occasional anti-piracy action alongside Ilios Alliance members.

===Present day===
In March 2025, [[DoctorDiamond1]] was promoted to Head Councilor for his recruitment efforts.

On 13 March 2025, the Ilios Alliance was formally disbanded after Radiance left to pursue a more neutral and independent path, with Cortesia Del Mar and Orovika retaining their pre-existing alliance.
