Aurora Empire

Aurora Empire, also known as AE or Æ, was a group founded by TheFat (thanos rock)(Razok) in late April 2020. It was originally just a small base group, but quickly became one of the strongest groups at the time, and it's the group with the most players in the server's history(not counting alliances).

However, the group doesn't have the best reputation, mainly due to it mostly being poor newfags and members who barely did anything.

This group got disbanded on 12/06/2020.

## History

In mid-April 2020, Razok got bored of playing alone and invited SoloMaker and M1ndspace to build a base together. They all had applied to join Team V, but that group was mostly inactive during this time, so they decided not to wait on their answer. The base they build would eventually be named Fort Emperius. They also invited Michi games to join, but he only stayed at the base for a short time.

At the end of April, Razok decided to make their small team into an actual group: Aurora Empire. He invited other members like 8zi\_, 10saq, and SigmaOverPi. He also asked Team V for an alliance. They accepted the offer and The New Alliance was born.

Thanos wanted their group to grow quickly, so he invited a lot of oldfags. koasic, Stinits and Eccentricat all joined. A new rule was created which stated that all AE members must share their coords to avoid insiders. When he went to kaosic’s and Stinits’ base, Katropolis, he thought this base was very nice and a lot better than the fort, so he made this the new main base.

On 12/05/2020, Razok would find Point Hope and claimed this place as an AE spawnbase while also renaming it to Point Dope. He would add new parts to the base together with help from AE members and a lot of non-AE members too. It didn’t take long before the base got griefed, but Razok saw an opportunity in the non-AE members who helped him, so he made a new subbranch of AE called AE Army, which a lot of players could join easily. Originally this branch was just meant for support in battles, and they weren’t allowed at bases, but later he made the Fort an Army base.

Unlike the original AE, the Army wasn’t like all that much by other players. Because it was so easy to join, they had a lot of members, but also a lot of members who weren’t stacked at all. Players didn’t like that they would brag a lot while not even being that geared. Razok would state that all members were stacked, but most players realized this wasn’t true and Fauxreel420 also stated that Razok told him to give gear to new members. Some AE members also didn’t like the Army and this resulted in some of the original members, like SoloMaker, m1ndspace, Stinits, and Eccentricat, becoming mostly inactive. The Team V members also didn’t like the Army, they got annoyed by the Army members and were mad that Razok lied about how stacked they were. They also didn’t like how the power balance completely changed with so many players being inside AE(at least half of the active playerbase at the time).

On 26/05/2020, a player named “uwugamer”(a secret alt of Fauxreel) would leak the coords of the Fort, causing the base to get abandoned. Storm told SilentInterloper that Fauxreel sold him the Fort coords for 10 endcrystals and gave them the screenshot to prove it; later SilentInterloper showed this to Razok and the rest of the AE. This ended up with Fauxreel getting kicked from the group, getting labeled as a traitor, and then getting killed in a 1v1 by Razok. Supagamer also got kicked because he wasn't very geared or even good at the game.

Team V would grief the Fort and Storm and Michi would also get into a fight with Pestrix and Razok at Spawn, causing the end of the New Alliance and the start of The Civil War. At the start of the war, AE occupied the end, and they tried to remove what was left of the End island, but they failed after they tried to kill MrEDok, but got killed instead.

The war wasn't that good for AE, multiple members left because they didn't like the war and some also left because they wanted to focus on their own projects. Players like 8zi\_, SigmaOverPi, Eccentricat, and SilentInterloper would all leave the group, some other players would also become inactive. During The InVursion, AE would go on to lava cast Reunion Castle, but it was repaired quickly afterwards. After this Razok made peace with Team V. A few days later AE got disbanded.

After AE got disbanded, most members would go solo and some would join new groups, some members would become inactive. Razok made a new group: XClan, but he quickly became inactive and so would xClan.

## Relations

They had pretty good relations with most players in early and most of mid-May. Razok traded a lot with non-AE members and they had an alliance with Team V. Some other allies were Provokator3000 and Spamanator. A few players didn't like AE. Like Syrup(later revealed to be Liquidityx) who attacked Razok, Tunailker who got blacklisted after scamming Razok, or Fauxreel420 and Supagamer2017 who were kicked out of AE.

Later the group was less liked. They were at war with Team V and multiple members left the group and got blacklisted. Razok also became more toxic and traded less.

## Future plans

Before the group got disbanded, Razok still had some plans for the future of the group. Sadly, these plans never came to be.

* Building a new megabase named Aquarius. Razok later said this would be his solo base, but he hasn't made it yet.
* Building a megabase at the world border named Gravity Fall, this would later become the main goal of XClan(they never did this).
* Making a new AE Army base.
* After the war, Razok wanted to accept new members to the group to compensate for the members who left. A potential member to join AE Amry was Provokator3000. He also said Perstrix would probably become an AE member instead of an Army member.
