The Nexus system, discovered over five centuries ago, remains a lawless and untamed region in the Star Citizen universe. Two significant criminal events in the 30th century highlight the ongoing struggle for control in this system. The first was Kellar’s Run in 2931, a multi-system conflict involving Dean Kellar and UEE law enforcement that culminated in Nexus. This event exposed the Empire’s weak hold over the system, prompting the UEE Senate to take action to restore order, starting with reclaiming Nexus 3. Outlaw factions, led by the Horizon crew, fiercely resisted the UEE military but were ultimately defeated, scattering criminals across nearby unclaimed systems.
The second major event occurred on January 10th, 2935, known as the Waltzer massacre, orchestrated by the Horizon crew. OP Station Demien, initially a government operations hub for terraforming efforts and later a Hathor Group security outpost, had become a contested location after being abandoned and used by various outlaw groups. When the UEE reasserted control, the station served as a supply and housing facility for military families. The Horizon crew planned a covert takeover of the station to use it as their new base of operations, aiming to maintain secrecy to fortify their position.
The massacre began during a vulnerable shift change when a small squad of outlaws swiftly overwhelmed the station’s security without resistance. They took control, launching systematic attacks that resulted in many executions. The attack was nearly successful in secrecy until Arjen Waltzer, a 14-year-old boy waiting with his family at the station, noticed the unusual silence and security lockdowns. He discovered a bloody handprint and, despite the danger, maintained a 50-minute communication with his mother, advocacy agent Emily Waltzer, documenting the horrors and evading attackers until his tragic death.
Arjen’s brave actions alerted local law enforcement, who responded quickly but were initially outmatched by the well-prepared outlaws. The situation necessitated a UEE Marine intervention, leading to a six-hour battle to retake OP Station Demien. The Horizon crew fought fiercely, knowing their plan was a final gamble. Ultimately, the Marines reclaimed the station, but the massacre served as a grim reminder of the persistent dangers and challenges in securing the Nexus system. The station remains a symbol of the ongoing conflict to bring law and order to this volatile region.
