Polaris was the first settlement created by the Black Starwalkers, and was their former headquarters. Started as a hidden bunker to conceal ZJTrayGamingYT whilst 
GunCat2 was hunting him after his return to MCO, it quickly became the underground headquarters for the newly blossoming Black Starwalkers, and served as a way for ZJTrayGamingYT to be able to actually play MCO instead of being hunted.
On August 6th, 2024, the coordinates to Polaris were given to or found by GunCat2, who proceeded to raid it. Following this, and the discovery of their group, the Black Starwalkers became officially known instead of a hidden group, and began their move to a new location about a week later. That new location ended up being what would later be called Nebulus.
Following Nebulus' creation, and continued work on it since August 14th, 2024, Polaris has been entirely abandoned. Although initial desire to return to it existed for the four months following its Raid, the interest died as Nebulus continued to grow. Today, Polaris continues to exist as a designated historical/heritage site for the Black Starwalkers, remaining untouched as it was since its last major addition, with it tending to serve as a pilgrimage site for all members, and a place for reflection for those who remember it.
Polaris was named after the song Polaris by chiptune artist Fearofdark, but was also retrospectively named after the song Rust In Peace...Polaris! by thrash metal band Megadeth. The song's names, and therefore the bunker's name originates from the star named Polaris, which is the pole star in the sky.
