The Arcadian Federation

[Image: MBobs1e.jpeg]

(Excerpt from the Intergalactic Guidebook: Peoples & Polities, 9th Edition — compiled by Archivist-Observer Keleth of the Glitter-cliff Monastery)

The Arcadians are a extremely reclusive near-human people whose true origins, territorial extent, and internal affairs remain largely unknown to outside observers. Contact is restricted to three state-regulated freeports (AF-2201 Helios, AF-993 Adelph Null, AF-111 Mu Cephei) where outsiders may trade, petition for services, or contract mercenaries. Beyond these hubs, Arcadian space disappears behind navigational secrecy and cultural reticence. No formal contact from the Arcadian Government has been made. All communication with Arcadian authorities is conducted via the "Arcadian Trade Authority," who claims to pass along relevant messages to their parent government. 

Arcadians are, however, indisputably industrious. Their trade hubs export an immense volume of spacecraft, industrial equipment, modular structures, and prefabricated habitats, driving entire colonial economies beyond their borders. Numerous frontier polities employ Arcadian-derived ship hulls, station components, and habitation designs exclusively, and such architecture has become so widespread that some analysts consider it a de facto standard in younger sectors of civilized space. In addition to material exports, Arcadian traders and mercenaries are frequently encountered abroad. They are generally recognized as elite pilots and proficient naval tacticians, though their performance in ground combat is regarded as merely adequate by comparative measure.


History

Arcadians rarely speak of their origins but various confirmed conversations make it clear that they believe they are not native to this sector of space. No confirmed historical record identifies the Arcadians’ cradle-world or the era of their great departure. Indeed Arcadians themselves have made comments indicating that they are not entirely clear on their own origins. Vague refences to a "primary artifact," have appeared in multiple locations and reference it's location in a temple of ancestor worship. A single image of this artifact was recovered from the doomed AMV Yukon, in the captain's quarters in a paper book.

All accounts agree only that the Arcadian arrival to our sector predates current political epochs by centuries or millennia. Fragments of an educational broadcast recovered from a trade hub refer to vast colony ships arriving in the sector and establishing an initial infrastructure of spinning orbital habitats, asteroid refineries, and elevator-linked surface stations. Notably, these texts emphasize that planetary settlement came only after extensive orbital development, suggesting a cultural preference for artificial environments that continues in the present age. The subsequent expansion of Arcadian civilization is deeply obscure. 

No official star charts have been released, and all Arcadians encountered claim (even under duress, see interrogation attachment 3A)  that the routes to internal colonies are known only to state-approved navigators if they ever speak on the subject at all. 


Biology

[Image: Jec2ouV.png]
Typical Arcadian Spacers

Arcadians are near-human in baseline biology. Physically, they are typically taller and leaner than standard humans, with a consistently pale complexion possibly a secondary consequence of generations spent beneath filtered starlight. Bone density and overall strength seems lower than baseline human standards, although variations exist among the population. 

Arcadians appear to be a biologically immortal with no documented cases of death to old age. All Arcadians seen (aside from children) appear as Humans approximately in the mid thirties where their age seems to stabilize. This appears to be a technological achievement rather than a natural evolutionary development. The oldest Arcadian referenced with any certainty is alleged to be over nine hundred years old. This longevity seems to give the Arcadians a willingness to "wait and see," during many events. 

Despite these enhancements, Arcadians remain close enough to baseline human stock to reproduce with standard humans, and several documented hybrid births exist within frontier regions and mercenary communities. These cases further support the theory that their longevity is engineered rather than intrinsic.


Culture 

Reliable information on Arcadian culture remains scarce, as the people themselves are notably reticent on matters concerning their society and personal origins. What can be pieced together suggests that they overwhelmingly prefer life in space habitats, with planetary surfaces regarded primarily as industrial worksites or resource zones. A small minority is said to live on planets, though Arcadians encountered at the trade hubs speak of them with mild derision, implying a cultural bias toward artificial environments. Questions to individuals concerning population, internal governance, or colony locations are routinely met with polite evasion, claims of ignorance, or deflection. It is unclear whether this secrecy is cultural, legal, or both, but long-term observers suspect a mixture of state security practices and a deeply ingrained civil habit of discretion.

(Attachment 2) An image of a Small Arcadian Habitat found within the doomed AMV Yukon's crew quarters

Despite this opacity, foreign travelers and commercial partners consistently describe the Arcadians as energetic builders and explorers. Wherever they appear, they construct habitats, depots, or manufactories, (all within their own enclaves) and some frontier settlements seem to rely almost entirely on Arcadian engineering standards. Arcadian traders and mercenaries are also known for pursuing personal enterprise without seeking broader political influence, and they speak highly of personal liberty while refusing entanglement in foreign conflicts. Notably Arcadian military forces and merceries have failed to intervene when ships nearby were under attack of raiders, but outside the influence of their trade hubs.


Government

The Arcadians appear to be have an extremely decentralized representative government. External observers have confirmed the use of titles such as Senator and Legate at the trade hubs, but the precise functions of these offices remain uncertain. A distinction exists between civilians and veterans, with the latter enjoying greater participation in civic decision-making. This may suggest a citizenship model linked to military or civic service.

Known and Suspected Star Systems / Colonies

Note: All data listed below is drawn from intercepted manifests, stray mercenary testimony, mislabeled export documents, and spacer rumor. None of the colonies listed here has been verified by direct external survey.

Ozark System
  • Primary Colony: Salem (forested habitable moon)
  • Notes: Reference originates from the recovered ship logs of the doomed freighter AMV Yukon, which listed delivery of Listed among its inventory was a large amount of heavy munitions and chemical defoliants to Emerald Colony, Salem. Suggesting some sort of conflict. 
Appalachia System
  • Primary Colony: Blue Ridge Habitat Cluster
  • Notes: Deciphered trade hub communication list several ships “arriving ex–Blue Ridge." Believed to be an old and well-developed cluster of habitats based on fragmented reporting.

Kansai System
  • Primary Colony: Yamato 
  • Notes: The name appears in the journals of a spacer who claimed to have worked alongside Arcadian contractors on a frontier mining station. The authenticity of the journal is disputed.
Liberty System
  • Primary Colony: AEC Industrial Ring
  • Secondary Facility: Scioto Works (Industrial)
  • Notes: Export data for bulk reactor shielding indicates routing through “Scioto Works.” Unverified accounts from traders suggest a high density of shipyards in this system.


Military

Arcadians appear to maintain a capable military. At the trade hubs several distinct classes of modern warships have been identified, including strike escorts, carrier-analogs, and heavier capital hulls. These designs appear current by galactic standards and display high maintenance quality. Older variants of the same vessels have been seen in the hands of Arcadian mercenary groups operating abroad, implying either deliberate export or sanctioned auxiliary deployment.

Evidence suggests that fleets and ground formations are raised and supplied at the colony or habitat level. Ships of identical design often bear distinct uniforms, insignia, and command protocols, further supporting the theory of localized defense forces. Coordination at the state level appears limited to deployment and strategic assignment; once committed to an operation, Arcadian units demonstrate notable discipline and tactical cohesion.

There has never been an overt military deployment of Arcadian Government forces. All evidence is based on mercenaries and Trade Hub defense units. 

Foreign Relations

The foreign posture of the Arcadian polity is difficult to characterize with confidence, as direct diplomacy is restricted to their three trade hubs and no Arcadian ambassador or envoy has ever been accredited to an external state. Most observers describe their stance as one of formal non-alignment: the Arcadians decline participation in alliances, treaties, or collective security arrangements, and their officials consistently frame foreign disputes as “internal to the disputants” with no bearing on Arcadian interests. Requests for military cooperation, mutual defense, or even basic political recognition have been declined without hostility but also without explanation.

In summary, the Arcadians appear content to trade extensively, wander selectively, fight for hire when it suits them, and otherwise remain aloof from the diplomatic machinery of the wider galaxy.


Trade Hubs

Arcadian trade hubs are the only sanctioned interfaces between Arcadian civilization and the larger galaxy. Each consists of an immense orbital station paired with a small outpost on the planetary surface, based around a massive orbital elevator complex. These ground facilities seem largely intended for resource extraction, apparently to provide capability to produce some products in situ. 

[Image: EDf49QX.jpeg]
F-993 Adelph Null Trade Hub, ground base of orbital elevator facility
All foreign trade passes through these stations under strict rules, and only designated commercial zones are accessible to outsiders. Arcadian personnel seem to ben drawn from multiple colonies and operate the facilities with polite detachment, declining to engage on questions about internal routes, populations, or governance. The hubs serve as both marketplaces and filters, allowing Arcadians to engage in commerce while exposing virtually nothing of their true infrastructure.

Much of the economic lifeblood of these hubs arrives aboard colossal super-container vessels whose cavernous holds are filled with manufactured goods of Arcadian origin. Carrying everything from starship hulls to habitat modules, industrial tools, and medical instruments. The majority of these goods are branded under the Arcadian Engineering Corporation, apparently a megastructure-scale enterprise (some reports indicate they operate an artificial ring surrounding an entire world) considered by Arcadians to be the gold standard for quality and reliability. Blueprints and fabrication patterns are also available for purchase, allowing foreign yards to construct Arcadian designs locally, a practice that has seeded entire frontier economies with Arcadian-derived technology.

Defensively, the hubs maintain a curious posture. In cases of pirate incursions or low-level raiding, Arcadian forces intervene swiftly, repulsing attackers and establishing a safety buffer with cold efficiency. However, when confronted by organized aggression from a sovereign state, the Arcadians have repeatedly chosen evacuation over confrontation. Personnel are withdrawn, facilities are stripped or sabotaged, and the station is abandoned to destruction. In the aftermath, the Arcadians simply declare the offender and any polity trading with them to be barred from all remaining hubs.

I couldn't help but notice the forum had quieted substantially and I seem to have recalled words wiser than ones I would come up with on my own: "be the change you wanna see." Some of you know might remember me as Senok on the Discord (I'm one of the French ones; it seems we lots have a thing for open letters, after all).

First of all, hi Haxus, I wanted to preface this by saying I hope all's going well on your end and this year has been a good one. It has obviously been a while (a year, give or take), and I figured one does not invite contact with silence, so I chose to instead write a little something. A bit of a personal recap regarding my personal sentiments and opinions on the game's state and the project's evolution thus far, that anyone reading is free to agree or disagree with.

In a general sense, however, I believe I can speak for quite a few of us when I say we're very curious to know of the progress there might have been since the last update you made. Hazeron Starship has undergone a level of fixing and polishing that's probably unprecedented for a while, until last year's summer, and I personally wish to inquire if your silence was due to you focusing onto the more challenging aspects of it (I seem to remember AI empires were a bit of a challenging prospect?), or if the hard work over the previous months has left you needing a break?



As far as my personal views on Hazeron's state are concerned, I'd have to break that down in a couple of parts, and I'd be curious to read what everyone else thinks on the matter.

As always, this is meant to be constructive, so I couldn't in good conscience only stick to the positive aspects. But positive aspects there are. Clearly Hazeron is a game that's hooked quite a few of us to its uniqueness from the get-go. Personally, I remember finding the graphics hard to move past, at first, when I first tried the game in 2011. But let me tell you, as soon as I delved deeper and started experiencing its more distinctive features such as city building and (relatively) seamless space travel in fully-custom ships, I was SOLD. I knew I was in for a ride, and what a ride. I think everyone's heard it time and again, how no other game has ever emulated the same gameplay values Hazeron pushes. I mean... I'm literally still here writing about it. It's gotta mean something, right?

Where I grieve, however, is precisely in that the game is amazing but has become so much harder to truly appreciate with the lack of an online feature. Simply put, and once again I'd love to hear everyone else's take on that, but I feel the community lacks the means to create proper engagement within the game, through the means of proper multiplayer, beyond Discord discussions, design sharing and, in rarer cases, turn-based multiplayer with one shared save which is probably the most exciting prospect currently, but that just doesn't hit the same and severely limits the amount of interaction and freedom you get when playing like that. Multiplayer in the MMO version, brought along a variety of concerns: resources, ship types, colonisation, diplomacy, war, and so on. It drove, in a way, the growth of empires who wanted to survive and thrive. The galaxy was completely and purely wilderness with the exception of the mysterious, abandoned Ringworlds, and players got to carve its known History from those interactions. Sure, it wasn't perfect, but it brought a layer which I believe to be an essential difference. Solo play has the experience somewhat... eroded. It is amazing that we got to keep this hidden gem of a game as an offline mode after the servers' end, but it does feel like it lacks something that made such a massive part of the experience to me. No one will ever find what you made, whether someone from your empire traveling from place to place, a neutral explorer, or a hostile-minded player vying for your riches. Not even the safe encounters you'd get in the neutral galaxy, are made possible here. This, I believe, is such a shame, because there is so much agency in what you can build out there for someone else to discover.

Haxus, I remember you saying back in December 2022, that LAN or peer-to-peer multiplayer would be an easy feature to add!
( https://hazeron.com/mybb/showthread.php?tid=2825 )
And I couldn't advocate more in favour of it being added as soon as time and schedule permits, should you still be working on the game. That is merely my two cents, I guess, but I firmly believe it to be the better way to sustain the game's life and community, until proper AI a la Spore may be added for proper PvE (if that project is still on the table). Because even though I would absolutely love to be able to play online and build an empire with the boys against AI empires in a PvE-oriented fashion, I would, personally, absolutely prefer the immense and endless possibilities which online play brings, over an implementation of AI on it own with no multiplayer capabilities. I do think NPC empires, have immense merit to what it can bring to the game, especially if they're procedurally spawned in a Spore fashion, but I cannot see anything beat how infinitely superior the potential of once again allowing several players to play together, is.

Hence it would be a feature that, once added, would pretty much let the community play itself and, hopefully, require little to no additional input, as the hosted servers would be entirely player-dependent. The whole thing would give to us the ability to team up to build our empires collectively (and perhaps against one another, depending on whom you ask), which I cannot stress how much it changes the way one plays the game, and what they play the game for.



With that being said, allow me to renew my well-wishes to you. I don't know if you're still working on the game by that point but I do hope you're doing OK, considering how long we haven't heard from you. I also want to invite engagement from any and all still browsing around the forums. I'm genuinely curious to see how active the place turns out to be still, and I'd love to see what was quite a hot topic back in 2022, be debated once again here.

Have a good one,

I knew I was in for a ride, and what a ride. I think everyone's heard it time and again, how no other game has ever emulated the same gameplay values Hazeron pushes. I mean... I'm literally still here writing about it. It's gotta mean something, right?

Where I grieve, however, is precisely in that the game is amazing but has become so much harder to truly appreciate with the lack of an online feature. Simply put, and once again I'd love to hear everyone else's take on that, but I feel the community lacks the means to create proper engagement within the game, through the means of proper multiplayer, beyond Discord discussions, design sharing and, in rarer cases, turn-based multiplayer with one shared save which is probably the most exciting prospect currently, but that just doesn't hit the same and severely limits the amount of interaction and freedom you get when playing like that. Multiplayer in the MMO version, brought along a variety of concerns: resources, ship types, colonisation, diplomacy, war, and so on. It drove, in a way, the growth of empires who wanted to survive and thrive. The galaxy was completely and purely wilderness with the exception of the mysterious, abandoned Ringworlds, and players got to carve its known History from those interactions. Sure, it wasn't perfect, but it brought a layer which I believe to be an essential difference. Solo play has the experience somewhat... eroded. It is amazing that we got to keep this hidden gem of a game as an offline mode after the servers' end, but it does feel like it lacks something that made such a massive part of the experience to me. No one will ever find what you made, whether someone from your empire traveling from place to place, a neutral explorer, or a hostile-minded player vying for your riches. Not even the safe encounters you'd get in the neutral galaxy, are made possible here. This, I believe, is such a shame, because there is so much agency in what you can build out there for someone else to discover.

Haxus, I remember you saying back in December 2022, that LAN or peer-to-peer multiplayer would be an easy feature to add!
( https://hazeron.com/mybb/showthread.php?tid=2825 )
And I couldn't advocate more in favour of it being added as soon as time and schedule permits, should you still be working on the game. That is merely my two cents, I guess, but I firmly believe it to be the better way to sustain the game's life and community, until proper AI a la Spore may be added for proper PvE (if that project is still on the table). Because even though I would absolutely love to be able to play online and build an empire with the boys against AI empires in a PvE-oriented fashion, I would, personally, absolutely prefer the immense and endless possibilities which online play brings, over an implementation of AI on it own with no multiplayer capabilities. I do think NPC empires, have immense merit to what it can bring to the game, especially if they're procedurally spawned in a Spore fashion, but I cannot see anything beat how infinitely superior the potential of once again allowing several players to play together, is.

Hence it would be a feature that, once added, would pretty much let the community play itself and, hopefully, require little to no additional input, as the hosted servers would be entirely player-dependent. The whole thing would give to us the ability to team up to build our empires collectively (and perhaps against one another, depending on whom you ask), which I cannot stress how much it changes the way one plays the game, and what they play the game for.



With that being said, allow me to renew my well-wishes to you. I don't know if you're still working on the game by that point but I do hope you're doing OK, considering how long we haven't heard from you. I also want to invite engagement from any and all still browsing around the forums. I'm genuinely curious to see how active the place turns out to be still, and I'd love to see what was quite a hot topic back in 2022, be debated once again here.

Have a good one,

I was just thinking that maybe if roads actually fused together when you connect them, some of the cities might feel a bit better. Depending on how that’s done, you could also use roads as guide rails for fake traffic to simulate movement and activity.

It’s just a thought! Since this is single-player now, if I could mod the game, I would add something like this, along with space traffic. For example, small crafts around stations in X4 add to the sense of activity, even though they’re just for show. Adding ground, air, and space traffic that looks proportional to the actual shipped goods would enhance the experience. These ships wouldn’t be destroyable but would just be for visual effect.

This could be a starting point for better coding to truly represent the transportation of goods. Adding this feature would reinvigorate the base. I guarantee it.

Logistics could become a completely different gameplay aspect, working well in single-player and serving as a great midway to AI empires.

Just a thought. Oh, and hi! I’m also known as Vox. I pop in every year or so, but since it’s single-player now, I’ve been playing with barely any community interaction.
We could still have IRC or something in the game. There are so many other things to add, but a lot of references to the previous MMO edition need to be removed. They are a sad, stinging reminder.

I think I might find a way to inject my own mod API into this game if it’s not added by you, Haxus. This game has so much potential. I can’t think of another game where I can watch a planet come into view and fly directly from one system to another with so many stars.

The only game that comes close is No Man’s Sky, but it’s just a different game. If you combined your game with No Man’s Sky’s graphical representation and execution, it would be amazing. No Man’s Sky lacks real civilization building, whereas your game has a great foundation for it.

Your game’s concept and gameplay overrule graphics, which is why I keep coming back to Hazeron. Not everyone thinks this way, as some only play AAA games. A bit of an update would work wonders.
Your IP has millions of dollars' worth of potential that’s hidden from many people and barely collecting on its own worth. For the love of the game, grow it!]]> -------------------------------

I was flying to Sioux City Iowa last July to get a routine semiannual avionics inspection done. I just got up to my cruising altitude of 5500ft MSL when there was a never-heard-before clunk from the engine. Engine RPMs spun way up past the red line. Propeller pitch control stopped responding, had no effect. It took some adjustments to get the engine RPMs under control enough to return to the airfield, which was about fifteen miles away.

I told the Sioux City approach controllers what was going on. There was an airport just a mile away but the airplane was holding altitude. Weather was great. If the airplane was going to be grounded, I wanted it to be at home with my own mechanic.

After landing I taxied straight over to the shop. What I thought was a propeller hub failure turned out to be much worse. The mechanics at the shop could not imagine what guardian angel kept my propeller spinning. The engine RPMs went up because the propeller drive shaft had sheared clean off, relieving the engine of its load.

The loud clunk turned out to be an oh shit moment. That was the sound of the sheared-off drive shaft smacking against the engine case hard enough to crack it in a high-stress place that could not be repaired.

The airplane has a 540 cubic inch six cylinder aircraft engine. This is an air cooled engine so the cylinder jugs are bolted onto the sides of it, kind of like a Harley Davidson engine. A new engine case from the factory is over $30k and there is a two year lead time to buy one. 

By some miracle, the engine shop had a used one that was serviceable that they sold me for a fraction of the price of a new engine case. They cleaned it down to shiny metal, scanned it, painted it, rebuilt the entire engine with new cylinders (another miracle as they are getting hard to find) and other parts, ran it on their test stand for hours, and gave it their blessing.

It was time for the annual inspection so the local mechanics did that while the engine was in the shop. The propeller was getting pretty long in the tooth and it was due for an overhaul. More bad news. The propeller hub was shot. It was a standard two blade propeller and nobody wants them anymore so nobody makes parts for them anymore. It was less expensive to buy a new three blade prop than a new two blade prop. I had misgivings about this because Hartzell's own web site says three blades isn't any better than two; they're just heavier.

A few weeks ago they finally finished working on the airplane. It had to wait its turn and winter is super crunch time for the local airplane mechanics. The shop on our field is inundated all winter long with spray planes getting their annual inspections done; they work on spray planes from all the surrounding states, not just Nebraska.

My wife thought the new prop and chrome spinner looked hot. The old straight two blades were replaced by three modern curved scimitar blades.

The first thing I noticed was the old familiar whup whup whup of the prop at low idle and when taxiing is gone. It sounds more like a lawn mower now, one continuous growl.

The power while taxiing felt ridiculous. I couldn't help but laugh. I'm quite accustomed to that airplane after twenty four years and I could tell this was no small change.

The takeoff roll smashed me back into my seat. This airplane has never smashed me back into my seat. Ever.

I was off the ground in probably the shortest takeoff distance ever. The airplane didn't stop there either; it just kept on climbing vigorously. As I climbed away from the runway I called the shop on the radio but all I could do was laugh maniacally.

I kept that test flight short and close to the field.

Now I am planning that trip to Sioux City once again. Will probably do it within the next week or so, whenever they can get me in. They are the only avionics shop in a wide area so they stay pretty busy.

Then I have to break in the new engine. That requires a good 12 hours of run time, preferably flying at altitude and at a good operating temperature, not frozen winter air. I am planning a flight to Florida and back to get that done. I have some personal business to attend to there so this would be an opportunity to do that. It's that or dinner in New Orleans. The runway at their general aviation airport sticks out into Lake Pontchartrain like a boat dock; I thought the landing was fun but my wife didn't agree.

People speculate that it must be cheap to travel when you own your own airplane. I always tell them it would be cheaper to fly first class everywhere you go for the rest of your life than it is to own an airplane. Buses are cheaper than cars to ride but I don't tend to ride them; I like the freedom that comes with owning a car, and an airplane.]]>

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2239520

Also a bunch of images, screenshots and a gameplay video were added to it

Seems like the Workshop section is still private though, so no public viewing of designs yet

Make sure to wishlist if you're interested (and not already in the closed beta)

There's also system reqs listed:

All designs you previously made on individual characters however, are inaccessible and are removed from the library, but are still in the exchange.

I cannot unpublish or remove them from the exchange. I now added a second passenger berth to all my designs and uploaded them to the steam workshop.

Is there any way of getting rid of the old ones that does not involve deleting the savegames and starting over?]]>
