spacecool sitting on Echoes' Cyan Sub-Dome on February 14th, 2026.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.
Following the Hiatus incurred after the Espionage Conflict's abrupt "end", and the departure of their chief laborer during the conflict, spacecool: Echoes has gone into an inactive state (minus minimal touch ups now and then), as the Black Starwalkers redirect their focus elsewhere.
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.
About
Naming Schemes
Regarding certain naming schemes within Echoes:
- The Cardinal Tunnels are named after both the cardinal directions of a compass, and of the album Cardinal by indie rock group Pinegrove.
- Metro Stations
- The Red Rose Speedway Metro Station (the North Metro Station) is named after the album Red Rose Speedway by Paul McCartney and Wings.
- The Deep Green Sea Metro Station (the South Metro Station) is named after the song From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea by the Cure.
Diagram
Echoes (as planned via the overhaul in August 2025), was created to be a ginormous interconnected series of large bio-domes, separated by distinct cliques of colors started by directions of a compass. There are four (planned) color series, alongside the Hub, which connects them all:
- Echoes North
- Magenta (left), Red (straight), and Orange (right)
- Echoes South
- Cyan (left), Green (straight), and Lime (right)
- Echoes West
- Light Blue (left), Blue (straight), and Purple (right)
- and Echoes East
- Gray (left), Yellow (straight), Black (right)
