History
Early days
Originally named Wild Hogs[2], Impasse brings together people from big 2.0 nations such as Orion, Senntisten, Haven, Aeon, Argos, Metro, Olympia, but also new friends from Aquila on 3.0/Devoted.
Vault Invasion and Big Griefing
The Lexington affiliates Rixxlon/Symotic/Johnsama/DirtyDiaperDude secretly built a vault hole in Impasse territory around -4360 -4090. After being discovered, they griefed their own hole to prevent Impasse from using it.
On 21 August 2017 the vault builders retaliated by raiding Impasse's capital city and griefing it with SRO and SRS. The cleanup involved many supporters from all over the map, notably Impasse's allies Hjaltland and the Commonwealth. Remnants of the grief are still visible half a year later.
Inactivity
With the Nox War entering a stalemate and school beginning, all of Impasse went inactive, many members quitting and a few only logging in occasionally to prevent reinforcement decay.
Revival
Events such as the Fall of Lexington, the 1.12 update, and Dill_Weasel's unjust imprisonment by Falstadt brought old players back to life, deciding to leave the Old City behind and build a new, better city in the Plains valley north of the main island.
Government
As the governmental structure is a Constitutional Monarchy[1], the royal family is based around marriage and inheritance.[3]
Architecture
The building style for Old Impasse is a mix of Renaissance and Classical architecture. [4] Impasse's Miami district is based around an 80's/futuristic style.
Railway
Impasse is the northern end of the HITS rail, connecting most major cities in the western hemicircle such as TdC, Mt. Augusta, and the Commonwealth. Direct railways connect Impasse to Frostrock, SPQR, Columbia, and 0,0. There is an ongoing effort to make these rails safe and automated.
