Founded on October 19th 2024 by [[SIG130]], lonestar is a large faction with a balanced economy and military. Its capital, texas, dedicated itself to recruiting and training new players. After a brief period as an autonomous member of [[Radiance]], texas became independent and founded a nation grounded in neutrality. Its current leader is eyrzeke, the original founder of texas.

	Since its founding, Lonestar has balanced itself around military and industrial growth.

	On December 1, 2024, leadership of lonestar was passed to ~~XiJinping_~~.

			On December 1, 2024, leadership of lonestar was passed to [[XiJinping]]. He implemented sweeping reforms, including a rapid militarization effort, the production of a modernized war fleet, cessation of active Texas recruitment in favor of settlement recruitment, the initialization of a supercapital program, and the full subsidization of lonestar member settlements Aarmance and Elodia (which began a trend away from independent settlement development toward centralization). This period would also see the establishment of lonestar's current corporate identity, with the establishment of the seat of the Chairman, the Executive Panel, and the Secretariat. Aarmance governor Gvazdika would then be appointed to the Executive Panel, marking the first time a member of a settlement outside of Texas held a leadership position in a nation that had been overwhelmingly dominated by it up to that point.

	On January 5, 2025, Lonestar entered into its first short-lived formal alliance with [[Ekatera]] to exchange engineering assistance on Altar Sanctorium for Ekatera's time in printing Lonestar's freighter fleets. Shortly thereafter, [[Vega]] declared war on Ekatera over the issue of a seizure of a freighter used by the Vega citizen LeMaire. Lonestar attempted to diplomatically intervene, but could not mediate an agreement between the parties. Frustration with the handling of the situation and the risk the war posed to noncombatant Lonestar personnel led to Lonestar beginning a siege of [[Kovfefe]] against Ekatera on January 7, 2025, marking Lonestar's entry into the [[Vega-Ekatera War]].

	In late January, [[Sovrah]] would join Lonestar after having been a member of [[Imperial Nova]], which also resulted in the transfer of Sovrah's Repentance-class [[Battlecruiser]]. This marked the first Battlecruiser in possession of a Lonestar pilot, though it would later be scrapped on Febuary 23rd, 2025. Around the same time, the Nexus Affair would occur as part of the Vega-Ekatera War; following this event, [[Berx]] would become a subsidized Lonestar member settlement. Berx and Elodia would later merge into Olympus, located at the site of former [[Starfall]].

	On ~~February 6th~~, ~~Lonestars [[XiJinping_]] and [[CursedSaturn]]~~ would participate in [[February 6th Zealandia Manhunt\|hunting Zealandia1]], a notorious pirate and assassin who had racked up a bounty of over 170,000 credits.

On March 5th, Sovrah would finalize the printing of the first home-brewed Lonestar Battlecruiser in survival, the Veyron class.

	~~Early in the morning on~~ March ~~4th~~, ~~[[XiJinping_]]~~, ~~[[CursedSaturn]], Abu_42069_~~, and ~~Sovrah would engage in a lengthy battle in regulus against Blockbuster019 and Maidpierce, which resulted in~~ the ~~capture of Regulus Fuel Depot and 3 ship sinks by Sovrah. The next~~ day, ~~Sovrah would finalize the printing of the first home-brewed~~ Lonestar ~~Battlecruiser~~ in ~~survival, the Veyron class~~.		On March 19th, 2025, Chairmanship of Lonestar was transferred to WanderingOtter, and Hextagon was made advisor. Later the same day, Lonestar CursedSaturn killed server director Gutin in ground combat.

March 19th marked the end of the corporatization era. It had been characterized by the end of the old texas and its perception as a "noob settlement," pretextual warfare, alignment with the Vega bloc, aggressive military-industrial growth, and strong centralization.

	Rather than a nation with a political governing body, Lonestar is an interstellar megacorporation that subsidizes small, local governments which are largely permitted to act autonomously so long as the corporation is able to bring some profit from their success. At the head of Lonestar is the Chairman, who largely acts unilaterally--the Chairman's decisions require no approval. However, the Chairman generally accepts input and advice from the Executive Panel~~, currently comprised of [[Eyrzeke]], [[Hextagon]], [[Gvazdika]], [[Veloquent]], Abu_42069_, and Quart_zy~~. The Lonestar Executives in turn act largely without outside interference or requirements of approval within their spheres of influence, provided their enterprises bring profit to the corporation. The rest of Lonestar is made up of the secretariat, debt-collecting corporate enforcers, engineers, and various interns.

Frustration with the handling of the situation and the risk the war posed to noncombatant Lonestar personnel led to Lonestar beginning a siege of [[Kovfefe]] against Ekatera on January 7, 2025, marking Lonestar's entry into the [[Vega-Ekatera War]].		On January 5, 2025, Lonestar entered into its first short-lived formal alliance with [[Ekatera]] to exchange engineering assistance on Altar Sanctorium for Ekatera's time in printing Lonestar's freighter fleets. Shortly thereafter, [[Vega]] declared war on Ekatera over the issue of a seizure of a freighter used by the Vega citizen LeMaire. Lonestar attempted to diplomatically intervene, but could not mediate an agreement between the parties. Frustration with the handling of the situation and the risk the war posed to noncombatant Lonestar personnel led to Lonestar beginning a siege of [[Kovfefe]] against Ekatera on January 7, 2025, marking Lonestar's entry into the [[Vega-Ekatera War]].

	In late January, [[Sovrah]] would join Lonestar after having been a member of [[Imperial Nova]], which also resulted in the transfer of Sovrah's Repentance-class [[Battlecruiser]]. This marked the first Battlecruiser in possession of a Lonestar pilot, though it would later be scrapped on Febuary 23rd, 2025. Around the same time, the Nexus Affair would occur as part of the Vega-Ekatera War; following this event, [[Berx]] would become a subsidized Lonestar member settlement.

Berx and Elodia would later merge into Olympus, located at the site of former [[Starfall]].

	On February 6th, Lonestars [[XiJinping_]] and [[CursedSaturn]] would participate in [[February 6th Zealandia Manhunt\|hunting Zealandia1]], a notorious pirate and assassin who had racked up a bounty of over 170,000 credits. The final assault on Zealandia’s tunnel ended with Saturn killing Zealandia with her rifle, collecting the bounty and marking one of the first times that Lonestar deployed ground troops in PVP combat.

	On February 10th, two Ekateran Vesta gunship pilots [[Action Of 2025.02.10\|involuntarily donated their ships]] to the Lonestar cause. The mere threat of Lonestars CursedSaturn and Hextagon warping to them forced the Ekaterans to abandon their vessels.

	== Politics ==		== Politics ==
	Rather than a nation with a political governing body, Lonestar is an interstellar megacorporation that subsidizes small, local governments which are largely permitted to act autonomously so long as the corporation is able to bring some profit from their success. At the head of Lonestar is the Chairman, who largely acts unilaterally--the Chairman's decisions require no approval. However, the Chairman generally accepts input and advice from the Executive Panel, currently comprised of [[Eyrzeke]], [[~~SIG130~~]], [[Hextagon]], [[Gvazdika]], [[Veloquent]], and Quart_zy. The Lonestar Executives in turn act largely without outside interference or requirements of approval within their spheres of influence, provided their enterprises bring profit to the corporation. The rest of Lonestar is made up of the secretariat, debt-collecting corporate enforcers, engineers, and various interns.

	In dealings with the various nations of Horizon's End, Lonestar tends to act with neutrality--continuing the Texas tradition of neutrality and independence--or taking the course of action that brings it the most profit. It is even willing to engage in business deals with pirates, provided those pirates do not engage in any hostilities toward the Lonestar corporate fleet.
