Nebulus is the second settlement created by the Black Starwalkers, and their current headquarters. Started as a hidden base tucked into a ravine to conceal the Black Starwalkers after they quickly fled Polaris, it quickly became the new underground headquarters for them, and became a place for the Black Starwalkers to safely work on what they chose to, instead of living in fear.
On August 14th, 2024, the coordinates to Nebulus were given to 
GunCat2 by 
crogpot, who proceeded to run around and invite tons of people there. Instead of raiding it, he and the people he invited just ran around and played mind games with the group, before later leaving. Following doxxing threats by GunCat2, crogpot, 
endiveseve, and 
The_epic_gamer_2, ZJTrayGamingYT was forced to leave MCO due to not feeling safe, leaving Nebulus and the Black Starwalkers inactive for a month. Around late October 2024, following the beginning of the group's resurgence, work has begun at Nebulus again.
Nebulus was named after the song Nebulus by techno group Fluke. The song's name, and therefore the ravine's name originates from the word Nebulous, which (of a concept or idea) means it's unclear, vague, or ill-defined. This was applicable when naming it due to the loose structure imposed when the creation of Nebulus began, and how anyone in the group added things as they wished to make the settlement look good.
About
Nebulus has mainly four distinct sections currently:
- Nebulus Central
- The Hall of Souls
- The Elephant Room
- The Library of Cryptic Writings
Nebulus Central
Nebulus Central was the first and main place constructed for Nebulus. It is also known as "Central Nebulus," "Nebulus Hub," and"the Main Area." Originally constructed on August 14th, 2024, it is what Nebulus' entirety was known as prior to work resuming post-raid, due to the fact that it was the only planned area completed prior to the Raid on Nebulus. The way for something to be included within Nebulus Central is if it isn't tied to a specific section; think of Nebulus Central as the overarching "default area" of Nebulus.
Most of it's construction on August 14th, 2024 remains what mainly makes up the section, but Nebulus Central has had some construction after, and will continue to have consistent construction relating to it until Nebulus is fully completed. The last real building / structure that has been constructed within Nebulus Central was completed on November 12th, 2024.
The main structures it consists of:
- The Welcoming Room
- The main bridge (high floor, main floor, and the low floor)
- A Super-Smelter area
- A huge multi-floor storage system connected to the subfloor of the Bridge
and
- A Music Room.
After officially founding Nebulus, the first thing ZJTrayGamingYT and sanixdrill did was create the Main Bridge. By the time MrClownPierce showed up a few hours later, he added the final touches to the main floor, and the first part of it was officially completed.
When pilonpl (the last member before the Raid occurs) shows up, him and MrClownPierce finalize the style for the blocks mainly used in Nebulus Central, and the Hall of Souls. Whilst they are doing this, ZJTrayGamingYT creates the Super-Smelter area, and sanixdrill created the Welcome Room.
Lastly, ZJTrayGamingYT created the multi-floor storage system and the low layer of the bridge in the late hours of the same day Nebulus was founded. Shortly after, the Raid occurred.
After the raid, sometime after August 14th, 2024, and August 23rd, 2024, MrClownPierce created the Music Room, and houses Nebulus' original lounge. It has since become a secondary place to lounge, following the finalization of the Elephant Room.
On November 8th, 2024, MrClownPierce changed a side of the Main Bridge in Nebulus Central to better work with the Ground Floor of the Hall of Souls, and it's pathing. On November 11th, 2024, sanixdrill and Ervoss start to expand the Main Bridge, adding higher supports and planning to make a third section of the bridge, one that connects the Elephant Room's Lounge Area and the Hall of Souls' Second Floor. On November 12th, the higher third section of the Main Bridge was completed, linking the Second Floor of the Hall of Souls and the Elephant Room's main Lounge Area.
The Hall of Souls
The Hall of Souls (named after the song The Hall of Souls off of the Quake Soundtrack by industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails) was the first off-shoot actually started on August 14th, 2024, prior to the Raid. It is also known as "the Hall." It was worked on side by side with Nebulus Central, and before either had a name, was considered to be a part of Nebulus Central.
It was officially started unnamed on August 14th, 2024, and is still currently under construction. It is 98% completed, with only paths for each floor, and individual rooms being furnished being needed to be considered completed. It is a towering area carved into the side of the ravine, with seven floors total. Each floor contains two rectangular rooms, leaving enough space (when completed) for fourteen residents, each with their own customized, personalized rooms. They are:
- The Third Floor
- (has yet to have rooms)
- The Second Floor
- (contains koszarka's room and an empty room)
- (contains
- The First Floor
- (contains pilonpl's and MrClownPierce's rooms)
- (contains
- The Ground Floor
- (contains Ervoss' and ZJTrayGamingYT's rooms)
- (contains
- The First Sub-Floor
- (contains sanixdrill's and dunechan's rooms)
- (contains
- The Second Sub-Floor
- (has yet to have rooms)
and
- The Third Sub-Floor
- (has yet to have rooms)
On August 14th, 2024, shortly after Ervoss arrived, him and sanixdrill began work on what would later be known as the Hall of Souls. The Ground Floor and the First Sub-Floor were originally created as residencies to match each floor of the main Nebulus Central bridge, and grew to be quite furnished.
Originally created to have four segmented rooms, the Ground Floor contained (from left to right) Ervoss', sanixdrill's, MrClownPierce's, and ZJTrayGamingYT's rooms. pilonpl's was placed on the most left room on the First Sub Floor. Although each room contained only a colored bed, and were all barely furnished, they were still residencies for the Black Starwalkers.
Following the raid, nothing immediately was done with the Hall of Souls, as following the Black Starwalkers' inactivity, Nebulus as a whole went inactive as well.
On October 23rd, 2024, dunechan shows up to Nebulus, and creates her room in the third space from the left, on the First Sub-Floor. On October 27th, 2024, following a huge plan created by ZJTrayGamingYT of what to do following the then planned resurgence of the Black Starwalkers, the residential area of Nebulus officially got it's name, and the five floor plan was created for what it would be in the future. It was also decided that each floor would house two rooms, combining two of the existing rooms to the other two existing rooms on each floor, allowing more space per person to work with.
Following an actual plan being set in place for the Hall of Souls, the next work on it started on November 1st, 2024. sanixdrill began copying the layout of each floor and using it for each subsequent floor created. He created the floor plan for rest of the floors that had yet to be done (the Third Floor, the Second Floor, the First Floor, the Second Sub-Floor, and the Third Sub-Floor). On November 6th, 2024, Ervoss and ZJTrayGamingYT worked together to mandate each floor having two dedicated rooms. sanixdrill helped by moving where his room would be to a different floor, and ZJTrayGamingYT furnished the inside of his room.
On November 8th, 2024, MrClownPierce and ZJTrayGamingYT worked to add railings to every floor, light up every floor, and add design choices that make every floor look the same, minus each individual furnished room. It greatly improved the look of the Hall of Souls, and inched it extremely close to completion. On November 10th, 2024, koszarka furnishes his room after joining the Black Starwalkers. On November 13th, 2024, Ervoss tackled handling the paths for each floor, and re-did each floor to have better pathing. After this, the Hall of Souls is considered fully completed architecturally.
The Elephant Room
The Elephant Room (named after the song Elephant by neo-psychedelia band Tame Impala) was one of the first spin-offs actually planned. Originally a small alcove, it was marked with a sign to be a potential meeting room area, as ZJTrayGamingYT had an interest in a meeting room that had a view of Nebulus Central, and the Hall of Souls.
It was officially started on November 5th, 2024, and is still currently under construction. It is 85% completed, with only the board room (see below), actual chairs and lounging areas, and completion of the Secondary Lounge to be considered completed. It is a huge area with views looking over all of what Nebulus currently is, with three distinct areas. They are:
- The Lounge Area
- The Meeting Room
and
- The Secondary Lounge
A fourth area, a board room that shows all of the things needed in Nebulus, is planned to be implemented sometime in the near future.
On August 14th, 2024, ZJTrayGamingYT marked an alcove he found, having an interest in a meeting room for the Black Starwalkers that overlooked their magnum opus, the city of Nebulus. Before, and for the first few months after the raid, nothing immediately was done with the alcove. On October 27th, 2024, following a huge plan created by ZJTrayGamingYT of what to do following the then planned resurgence of the Black Starwalkers, the alcove officially got a name, and had been planned to extensive detail.
Following an actual plan being set in place for the Elephant Room, and ZJTrayGamingYT's return on November 5th, 2024, Ervoss and ZJTrayGamingYT worked together to visualize what they wanted the Elephant Room to look like. The original plan was to just create a meeting room, but ZJTrayGamingYT improvised from his original outline, and made the area with the view a lounge for the Black Starwalkers, instead of the meeting room planned. Originally a section of the back wall of the Elephant Room that had a platform above, ZJTrayGamingYT heavily changed it to be a stairwell to an excavated section that he decided would be the meeting room originally planned for the area. Most of the general floor plan was done by the early hours of November 6th, 2024, and ZJTrayGamingYT created a table and chairs to use for the meeting room that had just been visualized.
Later that day, MrClownPierce worked with Ervoss to make the Lounge Area look even better, and ZJTrayGamingYT created a secondary lounge area with a view, making the Lounging area within the Elephant Room larger. After MrClownPierce had to leave for the day, Ervoss overhauled the meeting room, creating a better table and chairs, and making the walls look excellent.
On November 7th, 2024, following an idea by ZJTrayGamingYT and dunechan to make travel easier between Nebulus, Polaris, and Aether City via Nether highways, ZJTrayGamingYT creates Nebulus' Nether Portal, and embeds it into the wall in the Secondary Lounge in the Elephant Room. For some reason the portal was deactivated when discovered by MrClownPierce on November 9th, 2024, but was reactivated by a mod. How it was deactivated is unknown.
The Library of Cryptic Writings
The Library of Cryptic Writings (named after the album Cryptic Writings by thrash metal band Megadeth) was the first spin-off that has had no prior planning. It is also known as "the Library." The idea of the Library was to create a gargantuan space to contain the Black Starwalkers Collection (a bunch of player made creations, specifically literature), a bunch of enchanted books, and areas for brewing and enchanting.
It was officially started on November 16th, 2024, and is still currently under construction. It is 1% completed, with only it's entrance started. It is planned to be a ginormous area with tons of shelves, books, and a dedicated space for enchanting, brewing, using anvils, and more.
On October 27th, 2024, following a huge plan created by ZJTrayGamingYT of what to do following the then planned resurgence of the Black Starwalkers, the Library of Cryptic Writings is planned to extensive detail.
Following an actual plan being set in place for the Elephant Room, on November 16th, 2024, Ervoss begins his construction of the Library by carving out a huge entrance, and creating a small interior with stone brick pillars, and oak slabs wrapped around them.
Timeline
