Okibdoki, Hyperluminous, ZJTrayGamingYT, Ervoss, and ZeroDouble, sitting in Echoes' Red Rose Speedway Metro Station on September 16th, 2025.Echoes is the third settlement created by the Black Starwalkers, and one currently in development. It was started from an idea dunechan originally had about a base made from designs from the BioShock series, but now is based on an idea ZJTrayGamingYT made about ginormous bio-domes on top of the ocean.
Following dunechan's departure from the Black Starwalkers on January 22nd, 2025, Echoes' ownership went fully under ZJTrayGamingYT.
By early August, a complete overhaul of Echoes as a settlement was created and fully planned, and was officially started with the beginning of the construction of the Hub Dome on August 7th, 2025.
Echoes was named after the song Echoes by rock group Pink Floyd, and the settlement flag partially resembles the album it came off of, Meddle. The song's name, and therefore the base's name originates from the word Echoes, which (in this context) means one who closely imitates or repeats another's words, ideas, or acts. This was applicable when naming it due to it's inspirations and combinations of styles.
