There was a period of quiet. This was essentially IBGod and Lysika sailing around the world looking for a place to build their vault. The cardinal world border spots were taken so they wanted the straight diagonal border. At first they went to -10.6, -10.6 and dug a significant part of the vault hole with the help of Vitacoco (on itankage). However, the land owner, FK_54 took umbrage to the HCF settling there and called in the world police who waited for everyone to log off before block griefing the vault hole (with coloured wool meant for an American flag…). In fact, after Tealnerd griefed the vault hole, he made a post charging the grief against the HCF:

During the Libertas nonsense Mir kept a very low profile – acquiring massive amounts of wealth, recruiting pvp’ers like Jpegz and old Eagle Crew members and finishing the Forsaken Ice Tower. They also, in complete secret, constructed the largest vault on the server 100 blocks north of the second largest vault on the server. It was called Sanctaphrax, a 51 layer, 1210 ringed vault. Incredibly dated by today's standards it did have some innovations - namely multiple y-level archer rings and flower rings. Carson (Diet Cola/Teal) and Mir independently concluded that vault rings should outline the bastion fields. The pattern Mir came up with was significantly more curved - utilising more of the bastion field's radius to save money on bastions. Due to the curvey nature they were called flower rings. One particularly dated part of the Mir vault was the skybunker - vaults built around this time had water drop columns (assuming they even had a skybunker) - essentially water drops surrounded by obsidian. The ability for minecarts to teleport downwards was not widely known at the time.

Chanada was done – they split into the Lux Federation and some other groups. For Mir things had only just begun. They were still at war with Nox and vengeance would be theirs. Technically Mir was still at war with SPQR despite neither side ever attacking each other. Mir left the UMM - a quadrant alliance shared with SPQR not so subtly hinting that SPQR was next on the list:.

They began working in the island of Vanuatu, gifted to them by Strattmat (a member of Mir at the time). They heavily fortified it, covering the ground in obsidian and the skies with skybunkers. The entire island and surrounding land mass were fully bastioned - some twelves stacks of bastions went into this. Notably they also built a large fortress to the south of the island surrounded by a bedrock moat. A significant part of a bedrock moat around the entire island was also dug by Ben bots. Much of this was preparation for the war they knew was coming. It seemed unlikely that anyone would attempt to attack them given their position so far from anything but they felt they ought to be ready.

In the meantime Nox were slowly descending to their 'full Nox' state. MCFTW had claimed 0,0 in the Nether, named it Mises and banned most people from entering it.The actual intent was to turn it into a shopping centre. Unfortunately for him 0,0 had already been claimed. Unfortunately for the original owner, a member of the world police, this did not matter. He was pearled and made the following post:

Mir then attacked overland Nox in the early morning for a couple of weeks and eventually took control of the Nox nether factory and disabled it – although they lost one of Talydaria’s pearls in the process.

After capturing the Nether factory they began to attack the vault with the help of Dill Weasel and some parts of Tiger Crew but after getting five rings in progress stopped. They lost a few more pearls and were unwilling to risk being altbanned – with very few people able to help at the timezone just one defender was able to stop them progressing. The following video is one such defender’s perspective. Note the second time he goes in Dill Weasel on the account Biffle blocks his escape, almost pearling him:
