Galactic Hub Emblem

This page covers the timeline of the Galactic Hub civilization.

Summary[ | ]

2016, Oct 30 - Founding Day[ | ]

  • The initial concept of mutually beneficial, cooperative, localized exploration would prove to be a backbone for all future Galactic Hub ventures.
  • An acknowledgement is also made to the fact that the Galactic Hub came from the NoMansHigh and NoMansFans subreddits.

2017, April 9 - Official Flag & Emblem Adopted[ | ]

  • The Galactic Hub's flag & emblem were officially adopted after a community vote. The designing artist is Torsten Hartmann, aka morgvom_org.

2017, April 15 - United Federation of Travelers Founding Day[ | ]

  • The Federation would become a guiding force in Galactic Hub policy and politics, particularly in reinforcing documentation specifically on the Gamepedia Wiki.

2017, April 16 through 18 - Harsh Buds War / The Bez-Harr Incident[ | ]

  • The Galactic Hub became an unwilling staging ground for a conflict between two civilizations. (This "conflict" was done in fun, lore / image-based, and before the days of multiplayer PVP options.)
  • Galactic Hub officials encouraged peace.

2017, August 20 - Renaissance Era[ | ]

  • First migration to a new region of space (Shungka Void) due to the impending Universe Reset
  • Galactic Hub Council formed
  • Galactic Hub Renaissance Cup - Exocraft racing tournament across various tracks

2018, June 30 through August 3 - ARK Project and NEXT Generation Galactic Hub relocation scouting[ | ]

  • Galactic Hub council members and other Hub members who applied for and were approved for the ARK Project traveled to the new Hub location in advance to establish the HUB1 region and name all systems prior relocation. Over 500+ systems in HUB1 were named and tracked with a shared Google spreadsheet. (Read-Only Copy of Spreadsheet)
  • PS4 User Gainsdalf found the Top of the Tree 3 (ToTT3) but accidentally gave system default name of Rastand-Ink due to the pressure to name it properly and created the ARK Proejct members' inside joke of "Gainsdalfing".
  • Several other base sharing mechanics and testing was done during this time to help Hub members including testing of limits, farms, teleportation, and traveling to the new region.
  • HUBer was also coined at this time too and still is the most effective way to get to the Galactic Hub without having any warp upgrades.

2018, August 3 - NEXT Generation Galactic Hub: The Arm of Vezitinen[ | ]

  • The Arm of Vezitinen region announced as new core region of the civilization, with plans to avoid relocation in the future.

The Galactic Hub emblem, by morgvom_org, in-game.

  • Galactic Hub Decal was added as an unlockable item in the Quicksilver Store in the first community update event. This was widely celebrated by the Hub community, and likely provided the most significant sense of canonization of all prior in-game acknowledgements of the civilizations.

2018, December 1 - Tropical Colony Interloper Island on Axby Delta Opens[ | ]

  • The Interloper Island colony on Axby Delta was announced to the Hublic.
  • The Council had already constructed their homes on Axby Peak by this point.
  • Interloper Island / Axby Delta was the Galactic Hub's first non-capital colony, marking a major focus and use of intentional, localized, multiple-player building which had previously been limited only to the single capital system, HUB10-6A Quetzalcoatl's Sun, mostly New Lennon.

2018, December 21st - Winter Colony Mount Loper Opens[ | ]

  • This was the second Galactic Hub Industries production colony, after the lesser-publicized Darkstar Mining on planet Ashes to Ashes, system HUB10-150 Bowie.

2020, October 1 - Various Colonies Close Due to Origins-Era Fauna Extinction Event[ | ]

  • As detailed in this thread, various colonies were closed following the Origins Update-era fauna extinction event, which rendered all fauna previously inhabiting the simulation as extinct.
  • This included the capital colony on New Lennon, the tropical Interloper Island colony on Axby Delta, the Logra Lake Diplo Ranch colony on Jolivi, and the winter colony of Mount Loper. These colonies were all based on the presence of now-extinct Rangifae (diplo) fauna being present, except Axby Delta, which was established due to the presence of a Greater Mushroom Beetle.
  • All colonies unaffected by fauna extinction events remained open.
  • This marked the first official closure of any Galactic Hub colony, although capital colonies like Drogradur NO425 (Pathfinder) had been informally abandoned in the past.

2020, October 1 - Rave Colony on Electric Diplo Carnival & Lepios Opens[ | ]

  • This colony was designated for bases which made heavy usage of lights (especially flashing lights) and Bytebeat Devices.

2020, October 10 - Halloween Colony on Treehouse of Horror Opens[ | ]

  • The Halloween-themed colony, based on the swamp planet Treehouse of Horror, system HUB8-A6 Rigel, was opened to the public on this day.
  • This colony was designated for bases with "spooky" themes appropriate for the Halloween season.

2020, October 26 - Voting Begins on the New Capital Planet[ | ]

2020, October 30 - Drogradur NO426 Announced as New Capital Planet[ | ]

  • Following a community poll which received 239 votes, 107 (44.8%) went to Drogradur NO426, 64 (26.8%) went to Kadannin, and 38 (15.9%) went to Erquanti, with the remaining votes dispersed among lower-polling candidate planets. Thus, Drogradur NO426 was officially selected as the new capital of the Galactic Hub, as announced here.

2022, Nov 6 - Totokenn City, a New Type of Colony, Opens for Residents[ | ]

  • Totokenn City opened on this day. It was the first colony to use a new and unique community model pioneered by interloper Zaowly. This model would go on to inspire the Galactic Hub's Colony Governor system.
  • Under the Totokenn City model, players all lived in a single base, allowing the base architect to remove an individual's pieces if the individual becomes inactive and stops playing. Players joined together to complete missions written and organized by Zaowly. These missions are meant to fit the colony's own backstory / narrative.

2022, Dec 9 - Rattlespine Park, the 1st Paid Colony, Opens for Residents[ | ]

  • Rattlespine Park began accepting reservations on this day. It was the first colony to charge its residents rent (100 Hubcoin) while also allowing them to earn more than that amount back if they complete missions. This provided a way to drive activity in the colony, and a way to know who was still active and who might need to be cleared out.
  • Similarly to Totokenn City, Rattlespine Park consists of a single base. Separate bases such as Rattlespine Prison and Rattlespine Market would go on to be constructed in the future, as part of the colony-specific missions.

2022, Dec 10 - Hiya City, the Prototype Hubtropolis, Opens for Visitors[ | ]

  • Hiya City, a prototype "Hubtropolis", opened to the public for visitation on this day. It was constructed primarily to test whether the concepts and techniques would work, before using them to build a larger base / colony of bases.
  • A "Hubtropolis" is a city-themed base with full-sized skyscrapers as well as smaller buildings.
  • Later (on 2023, Jan 30), a series of properties within the city were auctioned off by Leviathan Construction & Supply. The property values ranged from 50 Hubcoin to 6,666 Hubcoin.

2023, Jan 25 - Architects Begin to Join the New Ziki Construction Effort[ | ]

Gamepro

  • 2017, March 25 - German gaming journalism website Gamepro published a (largely inaccurate) article on the Hub, [No Man's Sky - Wie sich die Community das Versprechen vom Multiplayer selbst erfüllt (How the community fulfills the promise of multiplayer itself)]. This article mentions odd practices that aren't known to actually occur, like selling the location of NMS gold deposits for real-world money.

Gamepur

MMORPG

  • 2023, March 31 - MMORPG published an article, "How is No Man's Sky's Player-built Blockchain Economy Working?" This article covers the ongoing developments within the HubCoin economy since its launch. There is a small inaccuracy where the article touches on the problem of "inflation" while actually describing symptoms closer to deflation.

RockPaperShotgun

  • 2020, March 13 - RockPaperShotgun published an article, "Tiny homes are everywhere, even No Man's Sky", which details the Galactic Hub "Micro-Colony" concept. Shortly after the Galactic Hub's, this concept for a colony was used by the AGT civilization as well.
