General Description

CorruptFight’s Avalos Federation was a multi-game military roleplay faction based on the Cocoa System’s Avalos. In its lifetime, AF (ingame, AFK to avoid censorship) was involved in 7 different games, had 300 members at its peak, and became the most feared faction within Solar Conquest II and Starbase. The faction is no longer active as of February 2024. The Avalos Federation’s history can be separated into six distinct periods: the Solar Conquest Era, the Starbase Era, The Wild West Era, the New Fronts Initiative, the Hiatus, and Post-Hiatus.

Origins

The Avalos Federation was created after the shutdown of the Havalu Space Agency [HSA] as its primary goal was to be the largest but didn't achieve the activity the former president had hoped for. AF was founded on March 1st, 2022 by CorruptFight. Originally not in use until March 26th, 2022 when EpicsOperator proposed the faction be used to attend the first Faction Wars Tournament hosted by community admin Taletalon.

The tournament ended with a close victory for the AF over the similarly competent Hampter Faction. Soon after this win, now community moderator Jeditto was signed on to be in the new faction's high command. From here, they began selective recruiting usually through in-game conversations. In the first two months of the group's existence, the Avalos Federation was believed to have garnered around fifty (50) personnel at the absolute maximum.

It was also around this time that Jeditto had planned schematics for the Dyson Sphere, which was unfortunately met with failure due to a realization of the scale of the sun. For this reason, Jeditto, and good friend Fish_ermann, teamed up with a small group of the Avalos Federation recruits in order to build what was now known as the Toraphan Fortress Moon. This would be considered the largest achievement completed by any faction to that date and would not be beaten until September of that year– by themselves.

National Lore

The Avalos Federation is believed to have been the descendants of the Havalu Space Agency. As years passed, Avalos became of extreme importance to Havalu thanks to the discovery of major coal deposits and geothermal energy potential. Given the quickly rising population of the planet, and Havalu being invaded by Kathara during the Great Extermination War, Avalos was released as an independent nation to free up local military forces to defend the homeworld.

After Havalu won the war, albeit with massive destruction on the homeworld, Avalos and Havalu merged to create the Avalos Federation, which included the two planets plus the moon Toraphan. Avalos is divided into two local governments whilst Havalu is divided into four local governments, each with the jurisdiction of a major continent. Avalos further subdivides its governments into smaller states, for 15 in total. Toraphan falls under the jurisdiction of the “Old World” government centered in the State of Cocoa.

Starbase Era

After the April player wave had subsided the Solar Conquest II player count into the low fifties, the Avalos Federation moved to the game Starbase, in which it opened recruitment to the public. Still one of the most controversial parts of Avalos Federation history was in May 2022, when former admin Deathpro91 created a Starbase division and gained official representation of the Avalos Federation against a 8-15 vote. Both CorruptFight and EpicsOperator were against the creation of the new division due to the heavy toxicity in the faction community, but had it not been for this action, Avalos may have not continued existing.

By now, it had already won two tournaments, the second being against Zombie Slayers United [ZSU]. Extensive details about the battle can be found in EpicsOperator's April Newsletter to the Avalos Federation. ZSU was considered a “fallen empire” within Starbase, as most of the faction’s members were permanently banned. An investigation was launched into Deathpro91 as he had been revealed to have had connections to ZSU, but no incriminating evidence was found and he was deemed non-hostile for the time being.

The new game, and the controversy surrounding Avalos Federation's existence caused its player count to rise dramatically, up to around one-hundred twenty (120) by the end of May. Of these, around sixty (60) could adeptly play Solar Conquest II, and raids were frequently hosted in order to keep the peace in public servers. Unfortunately, as the game slowly lost popularity, raids would become less and less frequent with the month of August only seeing 2 raids in total.

On Labor Day weekend, Jeditto and around twenty (20) interested individuals began work on the largest build in Solar Conquest II history and possibly all of bTools: the Dyson Sphere. This time, Jeditto had the manpower and the will to build continuously for 52 hours whilst many Avalosians subbed in and out to finish as much of the sphere as they could. It was estimated that the end result created a sphere with an internal surface area of ten million (10,000,000) studs. The Dyson Sphere was finished off with an internal cityscape and a major battle ensued afterwards.

With new factions appearing, the Avalos Federation began to worry about their supremacy in a game of which many had lost their skill. In October, they fought against combined forces of the Sandistian Church of Javion [SCJ] and the Cocoa System Research Team [CSRT], which led to another win for the Federation. This battle was notable for the first successful detonations of nuclear weapons by both sides, destroying enemy targets. The battle also saw the first instance in which the new missile tower building was used, and vehicle armor being phased out in exchange for tower covering, a method in which towers are covered with bTools to give them more health.

The Wild West Era

By the end of 2022, a majority of the Avalos Federation no longer played Solar Conquest II, and the game was no longer recognized as an official game. Sparks of activity came about during the few game nights they hosted within their faction, as most of their focus was turned towards their numerous wars in Starbase and The Wild West. In Starbase, the Third Interstellar War involving the AF-controlled Central Commencement mega-alliance defeated both the Fish Empire and Nuclearite Territories forces. In The Wild West, controversy around AF officer darn444 became prevalent after the rival faction Frontier Militia lost a battle to the Feds and attributed the defeat to Guycot Chain Pistol exploits. These would be proven to be false, and game administration did not take further action in this situation.

A revived hope for the game came about when the Avalos Federation became aware of the Maya System Update in January 2023, and incursions on the game became more frequent. Unfortunately, a census conducted by the Avalos Federation on their own members showed that only 10% of the remaining active players had played Solar Conquest II. Consequently, attempts to bring back the division's official status by lower-ranking members of the faction did not succeed. From those who did not play Solar Conquest II, many were not interested nor did they hear of the game to begin with, discouraging officers from hosting events there.

In February of that year, Starbase's faction system was no longer sanctioned by the developers, and many prominent faction figures within the game were banned, in what is known to the Avalos Federation members as the "Breaking Point". According to Starbase's developers, factions, particularly the Avalos Federation, had placed immense stress on the game's community and development team who had sought to create an environment safer for more casual players. Though the direct cause is disputed, theories of what tipped development over was their demand for an integrated faction system, and for better game balancing. The dispute eventually turned into a riot in the Starbase Discord server, which led to these events unfolding.

In the fallout, many of the remaining intact factions from Starbase found refuge in the Avalos Federation's home game, Solar Conquest II, although many factions would find it impossible to sustain their groups here. Even though most factions fell apart over the coming months, they contributed to a short-term spike in Solar Conquest II's concurrent player count. Some of these players stuck around, identifying themselves with this community rather than ex-pats of Starbase.

The Federation's Decline

Since Starbase had made up roughly 70% of all of the Avalos Federation members, and Solar Conquest II players making up around 8% at this point, the faction hit a depression in terms of activity. The Wild West and Starscape, two divisions that the Avalos Federation was also involved in, failed to materialize a player count that was hoped to keep the faction afloat. With the retirement of several officers, and with very little remaining activity, the Avalos Federation went into a hiatus effective May 30, 2023. During this time of intermittent activity, CorruptFight and Bingomsg, two founding fathers of the Federation, retired. This left Admiral Prio (only one of two admirals promoted via the ranking system besides Canibus) in charge of the faction whilst Co-Founder EpicsOperator remained semi-active to help him.

During the hiatus, CorruptFight signed on two personal friends to the Avalos Federation high command, a massive blow to both the officer corps who had worked hard for their rank as well as the enlisted, who saw these promotions as unjustified. From here on out, Avalos was considered to have begun its decline. These two new admirals failed to host events, and many officers retired without activity to motivate them.

The Avalos Federation would exit its hiatus on September 23rd, 2023, when it reverted its "Empire" status quickly following the retirement of the Founder of the group. Coinciding with the Wanwood System Update, the Avalos Federation returned to Solar Conquest II as an official faction after a 30-1 vote on November 19th, 2023. They fought their final battle in Solar Conquest II on December 9th, 2023 against the faction conglomerate Cocoa Coalition (Albanitopia x Cocoa System Research Team x Federal Republic of Havalu), which they had unfortunately lost due to inability to resist coordinated attacks from the enemy.

The resolve of the remaining Avalos Federation members was powerful, refusing to go down silently. In The Wild West, Avalos won several battles, most notably against Napoleon. Before the final retirement of the Avalos Federation, on March 24th, 2024, they gained the record of four wins to one loss (4-1) in Solar Conquest II, thirty-five wins to nine losses and four draws in The Wild West, and winning every single Starbase war they were involved in. A total of around 500 different people came through the ranks of the Avalos Federation, with around 40 officers (excluding Admirals) serving them.

Glory to the Federation.

August 20th: The Nuclearite Territories sends their last message in #faction-diplomacy, leaving AF the uncontested leader of Starbase.
August 31st: A briefing for the Dyson Sphere build is conducted and blueprints were released in preparation for a structure that would be around 3x the radius of the Fortress Moon, and be the largest Solar Conquest build if not the entire realm of bTools in sci-fi.
September 1st: Avalos Federation begins working on the Dyson Sphere build.
September 5th: The Avalos Federation finishes the Dyson Sphere build with a city. A siege then occurs and the structure is brutally beaten with members from Starbase and Starscape also attending. Over 20 people worked on the build consistently, taking about 102 hours to finish. On this day, CocoaWarrior came back to life and spoke for the first time in months in the Solar Conquest II discord. With a total internal surface area of ~100,000,000 studs, this is the largest build in the game’s history, if not all of bTools. This event shows AF’s persistence and power in numbers and skill.

October 4th: The Federation of Nyasouth is exposed by AF’s FSEA division, and revealed to the Starbase community. They were banned after a verbal conflict with the administration of the game, which almost led to the Admirals declaring a game division shutdown. FNYS was revealed to have embedded spies in AF and was proven to have the intent of nuking the server, as they had already done with another group in MFSX. This presented the greatest threat to national security since The Great Trial.

[2023] January 8th: The Avalos Federation fights Cocoa System Research Team in an official Faction War in SCII. The Avalos Federation would win again, truly securing their position as the dominant faction within the game. At least 6 nuclear weapons were used during this conflict.
January 20th: The formation of three new game divisions, those being The Wild West (second wave), Electric State DarkRP, and Waterloo at Home, were done in the temporary On New Fronts server.
