The America Invasion

Formation

America was formed when Eagle Crew, led by Papa_Pound merged with ex Recharge members. Papa_Pound and Lysika_Lantariel were about to raid Etherium when famed Recharge member Xvslol asked to join Eagle Crew. That same day Eagle Crew met up with Xvslol, Apogon and others in Carbon. They immediately made the long journey to River's End - the flooded bastion of Recharge. There the keys to the throne were handed over - Papa_Pound and Lysika_Lantariel were given mod access to the old River's End vaults and barracks. This gave them the diamonds to build their own vault and fully form an invasion. As though this were not enough they were then given the diamonds from another Recharge Vault - the Arym Vault. However, Xvslol only had mod on this, he did not own it. This meant that he had to change the group of each block in the vault so that Papa could mine it which was a time consuming process. During this time the World Police mustered a fighting force to root them out. Papa Pound was very nearly pearled when Xvslel, a gimmick of Xvslol, ran towards him in the vault room. Fortunately he realised and logged out in time. Xvslol and Papa Pound were log boxed. Within an a few hours twenty HCF fighters were summoned to come break Papa and Xvs out of their log boxes. The World Police did not attempt to fight them. Eagle Crew had succeeded in its first major goal - to start an HCF invasion. It was to be named America, and its vault Guantanimo Bay.

Scoping out a Base

Although Papa and Lysika now had the diamonds to construct a vault, they did not have a suitable location. Initially they attempted to build one near Terminus, at -10.6k, -10.6k. A stretch of perfectly diagonal world border. Papa Pound had an obsession with either pefectly flat or pefectly diagonal world border limiting potential spots. At this new spot they were joined by iTankage (Vita Coco) and Renkie (Kohi/Minerap notable). The vault hole was swiftly dug during the day but overnight Clone and friends came on behalf of Fk_54, owner of Terminus, and griefed the hole with SRO. The vault hole was ruined and America was ousted from the region. However, FK_54, perhaps in a moment of kindness,gave Papa_Pound permission to build at the opposite end of the map in the +,+, at 10.6k, 10.6k. It was an ideal spot, remote and surrounded by mountains and a massive jungle. Very few people would stray that far from civilisation.

Guantanimo Bay

The new vault was dug more slowly. The land was mountainous - almost double the blocks needed to be dug. Many supply shortages occurred - notable things included beacon bases made of diamond blocks - the most numerous base block owned by America at the time. The vault itself was unique. Designed by Celoxia it was the first invasion grade sky vault ever constructed. Whilst rings had not yet been implemented outside of Clone's vault it had web traps at bedrock and a similar idea to rings - except they were vertical not horizontal. Nearly 200 bastions forming three interlocking spires of semi overlapping fields formed a series of shields up to the vault which floated several hundred blocks above ground. This was a serious vault and the good folk of civcraft were spooked. Once again they faced the real risk of being pearled. Suddenly pvp had consequences again.

Clone's Vault Break

When Eagle Crew was formed three aims were stated. The first was to start an HCF invasion, the second was to free Celoxia who had offered 1000 diamonds to Papa Pound if he broke him out. The amount was not particularly high but hate for Clone at the time was rising. He was very proud, perhaps cocky about his vault and Papa Pound wanted to show him otherwise. One Friday evening Papa Pound informed Lysika Lantariel that they would be breaking Clones vault the next day - in eight hours. The next day HCF and Kohi players were summoned... TBC
