The Foxtail empire is best known for its founded and leader, Deantwo. The Foxtail empire has never had many members, primarily being a solo-player empire with no strong military presence. The Foxtail empire has for the most of its existence been passive and avoided conflict. Main focus was mainly helping other small empires get to the stars and self preservation.
The primary species of the Foxtail empire is known as Foxtails. Being similar to human but with ears similar to that of an Earth fox. Contrary to their name, Foxtails do not have tails, but this is blamed on the limited customizability of the game's Gen3 creature editor.
Universe 4
The Foxtail empire was was first founded at the start of the fourth universe. Not partaking in any conflicts and only making contact with few other empires.
However the Foxtail leader, Deantwo, published stories about his empire's struggles and exploits on the public forums in a thread titled "To The Stars Without Oil".[1]
The "To The Star Without Oil" forum thread was regrettably lost along with the old forum server died.
The main focus of the stories was on the fact that the Foxtail homeworld was totally without access to oil. This forced the empire to rely solely on space rockets for space travel. Deantwo spend a couple weeks attempting to located oil in other solar systems by deadheading to them in a space rocket without an EV suit or access to harsh environment construction.
The initial story ended with Deantwo actually did a survey flight in the Foxtail home system, locating a world in the outer orbit zone that contained large amounts of oil. Even better was that the world was actually semi-habitable and therefore didn't require harsh environment construction. From there building a colony on the world only took a few space rocket trips back and forth with construction materials.
The story continues with random travel journey entries. Deantwo decided to not use wormhole-drives at all, instead creating fast spacecraft capable of deadheading with ease. The at the time emission system meant that locating other empires was easy and visiting them via deadheading meant there was no need to navigate wormholes.
The final chapter of the story was when the 4th universe ended.
Universe 5
In the fifth universe the Foxtail empire started out slow, using a whole week just to develop electricity.
... WIP...
A few minor diplomatic incidents with the Weltreich empire resulted in the Weltreich empire attacking and destroying most of the otherwise peaceful Foxtail empire.[2] A new peace treaty was attempted but for unknown reason the Weltreich empire continued to attack the Foxtail empire every so often.
After another unprovoked and very devastating attack on the Foxtail empire, the Foxtail government decided that there was no point in trying to rebuild.[3] Instead the Foxtail empire assumed a guerrilla warfare strategy against the unsinkable Weltreich empire. Dedicating whatever remaining resources they had to lash out against anything with a Weltreich flag.
