Babylon(base)

## Babylon

A city built after the destruction of Fort Emperius and the fall of Aurora Empire by ex-AE members. Not much information has been made public about Babylon.

For over two months its members kept its existence a secret for various reasons. The two most significant being that the base was being constructed while the Civil War was going on and the builders of Babylon didn't want to be included in the conflict. The other reason was that v6q was a very prominent griefer while they were still building. However, after v6q leaving for his exams and much discussion, they have decided to make Babylon known to the rest of Specterium.

Babylon is also commonly seen as a team, the second biggest one together with Team V, with whom they have very bad relations.

## History

### *The Base:*

The base was founded in late May 2020, after the coordinates of Fort Emperius were leaked. When this happened AthenasThong quietly proposed the idea of Babylon in the Aurora Empire discord saying anyone who wants to come can, nobody really paid it any mind other than SilentInterloper. Silent was more than happy to make the journey on foot all the way to Babylon since they felt that they didn't really have anywhere else to go or anything to lose even. When they finally got there the only that was finished being built was the Ziggurat. Terraforming wasn't completely done yet either. But it wasn't going to stay this way. Later on, SigmaOverPi was invited to the base and before doing anything else helped out with finishing the terraforming.

More players were invited to Babylon, those players being (in order of the date they joined Babylon) 8zi, Eccentricat, Kaosic, Paul\_Oak, realrocket\_, and M1ndspace.

Each member contributed to the base in their own way. Kaosic and 8zi both built farms such as the Iron Pyramid, the Gold Farm, the pumpkin farm, bamboo farm, etc. Athena built the ziggurat and the walls. Eccentricat built a small city section of the base. 8zi and realrocket together built the dock area. Sigma built both the Hanging Gardens and The Tower of Babel. M1ndspace built rail dupers there. Paul\_Oak brought the members of Babylon into The Church and planned to build a church there as well, but that never came to be as Paul was never able to get too it because of the amount of Minecraft work and real life work on his plate. Silent built a tavern, the Colosseum, and the Башня знаний (pronounced bashnya znaniy), in English, known as the Tower of Knowledge.

For most of the base's existence the before mentioned players were the only ones with access to Babylon, but this would soon change. SilentInterloper streamed Babylon while in a private call with TriggeredCat and forgot to turn off the coordinates display for Voxel map. TriggeredCat after getting access to these coordinates would become a member of Babylon and would just use the farms and the trading hall there. Babylon got lucky with that one.

But unfortunately this luck would run out because 8zi\_ would stream Babylon in a private discord to show his friends but Perstrix came into the discord call and got the coordinates for Babylon. Silent after learning this gave Mopplkotze coordinates as well. Afterwards, Perstrix's former teammate, Miljandro got the coordinates as well.

Shortly after this, 8zi\_ gave Michi games coords and gave him a base tour.

On 1/1/2021, The Holy Inquisition demands that Babylon changes their group and base name because of Babylon being a symbol of defiance against god in the Bible. Babylon doesn't comply.

On 01/02/2021, the base gets griefed by The Holy Inquisition.

*Fun fact: Miljandro and Mopplkotze almost found Babylon but the Dummy Base that the members of Babylon built threw them off.*

## Locations

* The Ziggurat. Built by AthenasThong, this step pyramid houses the large storage area in its middle level and the trading hall in its lowest level. This is Babylon's first build.
* The Farm Area. As the name suggests, this is where the majority of the farms are. Some are automatic, others are a little more manual.
* The Tower of Babel. Built by SigmaOverPi, this tower is based off the Tower of Babel from the Bible, and it functions both as a gallery and as a creeper farm.
* The Hanging Gardens. This was also built by SigmaOverPi. This build is based of the real Babylon's Hanging Gardens and is arguably the second largest build right behind the Tower of Babel.
* The Dock Area. 8zi and Realrocket built this area. Kaosic also built a model ship there.
* The Iron Pyramid. This was built by Kaosic. It's a large hollow pyramid that houses the iron farm. Hence, its name.
* The Town area. This is a model town that Eccentricat worked on, with 8zi contributing to it.
* The Tower of Knowledge. This was built by SilentInterloper, and it's a library that stores written books from all over Specterium.
* The Colosseum. This was also built by Silent, and it's basically a PVP arena.
* The Dark Forge. This was built by Kaosic, and it stores most of the bases' enchantment books.
