{{!}} [[Mesa Basa]]

Astrobolt is a well-established, long-term player and is a leader of the [[Narwhal Syndicate]]. His main base is [[Mesa Basa]]. He also rents a house in [[London]] and has a vacation home on Samos Island, among other, more secretive, bases.

Astrobolt first joined PirateCraft on December 10, 2015. After a few days, he was invited to join [[United States Empire]]. For over a month, he endured countless raids and attacks on Decky Town, [[United States Empire|USE's]] capital. Growing tired of the poorly managed crew, Astro eventually betrayed [[United States Empire|USE]] by destroying the administrative sections of Decky Town. Shortly afterwards, he began construction on a new base in the [[Central Ocean]], about 500 blocks south of [[The Cove|Cove]].

This new base, however, did not come without its own issues. Despite being unaware of it at the time, Astro had built it extremely close to [[dagersh|dagersh's]] base. [[Dagersh]], being one of the most powerful players on the server and a member of [[Crusaders of the Void]], forced Astro to move his new ocean base further away. With [[dagersh|dagersh's]] help, a new base was eventually constructed at a safe distance. These events led to Astro developing a strong loyalty towards [[dagersh]] that would help propel him to fame.

After several months of being in his own one-person crew, Astro was invited to [[Solis]] by RaveTheWave. During that time he was able to use crew resources to increase his own reputation. Astro stayed in the crew for several months, until Konstruktor quit PirateCraft, which [[Solis]] partially contributed to. These events led to a minor rift in the crew, prompting Astro to leave [[Solis]] before things got worse.

Only a matter of days after leaving [[Solis]], Astro was invited to [[Khaos|KHAOS]] by souldin1. [[Khaos|KHAOS]] was one of the many results of the disbanding of [[CoV]] and was comprised of many of the crew's former members. Astro stayed in [[Khaos|KHAOS]] for several weeks until being invited to the newly-formed [[The Asylum|Asylum]] by [[Cysteen]].

Astro was one of the first people to join [[The Asylum|Asylum]]. [[TAS]] was perhaps the single-biggest factor in Astro's remarkably quick rise to fame. During his several-month stint in the crew, many members, especially [[Moossolini|Jmoo12086]], helped convince Astro that he needed a new base. It was then that he got rid of his stone brick box in the [[Central Ocean]] and made an underground base named [[Mesa Basa]] in the [[Southern Mesa]] near [[dagersh|dagersh's]] base. Astro's new base would later become one of the safest and most famous, yet most secretive, bases on PirateCraft. Unfortunately, several months after joining [[TAS]], internal conflicts among the crew started to appear, such as stealing and killing, eventually giving Astro no choice but to leave the crew.

After leaving [[TAS]], Astro temporarily joined Piratequest. Shortly afterwards, he became friends with [[Browe|Browe_]] and they made a new crew called Meat Beaters Anonymous as a joke. [[Browe|Browe_]] and Astro would soon go on to make a new crew called [[Phantom]] with [[Galaxy219]], which would become one of the greatest crews in the history of PirateCraft.

[[Phantom]], a pirate crew, originated with the intent of making heavy use of ships and having an island base. Taking advantage of the theme of ships, along with the popular Narwhal Song, Astro built the very first iteration of the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]], which itself would have future iterations that would be the most successful ships in the history of PirateCraft's organized ship battles. It was also at this time that Astro became one of the most infamous ship thieves on PirateCraft. After noticing several common design flaws with standard security measures, Astro led several other members of [[Phantom]] in raids, stealing several ships from [[Port Ae0s|ae0's island]], along with ships from many significant bases across the server. Shortly after the crew was made, Astro left and disbanded the crew due to internal conflicts.

After leaving the crew, Astro stole perhaps the most prized ship in PirateCraft history, [[Browe|Browe_'s]] Phantom Sovereign, later completely destroying it. Later on, Astro commissioned [[Maximus_Terragon]] and [[SnapCrackPlays]] to rebuild the Phantom Sovereign. Soon after, [[Maximus_Terragon]] stole the ship, eventually making it a permanent museum ship at [[The Cove|Cove]]. these events led to the blaze of glory that was [[Phantom|Phantom's]] collapse and made Astro one of the most notorious players on the server.

After disbanding [[Phantom]] and destroying the Phantom Sovereign, Astro joined the [[British Empire]] and entered an idle period. During this time he was less active and drifted from crew to crew. After spending several weeks in [[BE]] he left and made the first iteration of the Narwhal Syndicate as a solo crew. He eventually disbanded the crew in order to rejoin [[BE]], which he stayed in for several months until being invited to join the [[Coalition]] by [[Ketoh|Kettoh]].

After spending several days in the crew, NadolfPickler kicked Astro while he was offline for no apparent reason. Astro was later invited to Black Wake by DriftingSixGuns. Astro soon left Black Wake due to internal conflicts, rejoining the [[Coalition]], and once again leaving to rejoin [[BE]].

Astro left [[BE]] soon afterwards, joining Dealer's Deck after being invited by [[Lucky_da_Freak|_Freke_]], where he was quickly promoted to leader. Several weeks later, however, Astro left the crew in order to calm increasing aggression from certain members of [[TAS]] towards Dealer's Deck, which was a direct result of Astro's presence in Dealer's Deck. After leaving Dealer's Deck, Astro made the second iteration of the Narwhal Syndicate, which was once again a solo crew. Several weeks later, he disbanded the crew and was reinvited to [[TAS]].

After being reinvited to [[TAS]] following a long absence from the crew, Astro began to come back from his idle period and return to prominence. However, this stint in [[TAS]] was not meant to be; internal conflicts, disputes with allies and rivals, and fellow crew members harassing him led Astro to leave the crew once again.

Shortly afterwards, Astro joined [[dagersh|dagersh's]] and [[Elo106|Elo106's]] crew, House Indoril. Despite enjoying his stint in HI and continuing to show his loyalty towards [[dagersh]] and enjoy a good friendship with [[Elo106]], Astro left after once again being reinvited to [[TAS]] by [[Nahadoth]].

Unfortunately, this would be Astro's last time being a member of [[TAS]]. After rejoining, crew leaders decided to cut off the [[Narwhal HQ]] from crew resources such as the iron farm and the guardian grinder. In response to this blockade, Astro developed a way to bypass the blockade and once again gain access to crew resources. While the resources were important, these actions were primarily to prove a point. As a result of these events and the general rising tensions between Astro and the other members of [[TAS]], he left the crew.

After leaving [[TAS]] for the final time, Astro made the third iteration of the Narwhal Syndicate and was the only member. He remained in the crew until he was banned on March 6, 2019.

On February 26, 2022, almost 3 years later, Astro was unbanned. Since returning, he has established the fourth iteration of the [[Narwhal Syndicate]] as one of PirateCraft's premier crews, forging strong alliances with friends and continuing to expand the crew's territory. He has also taken on the project of heavily renovating [[Mesa Basa]], modernizing its security and other redstone systems in order to return it to its former glory.

Since creating the fourth iteration of the [[Narwhal Syndicate]] after his unban, Astro has shifted the crew's ethos to focus on ships of war and redstone engineering. Additionally, the crew now consists of two other people, [[Decsain]] and Ashgrove22, with [[Decsain]] also being a crew leader. [[The Narwhal Syndicate]] now stands firmly as one of PirateCraft's most prominent crews and, despite only having three members, boasts impressive territory size and full control of the oceans with the current iterations of the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]].

On December 27, 2016, JamminMas hosted the server's first major ship battle. Astro was in [[Phantom]] and piloted the [[Phantom Narwhal]] in its first ship battle. Unfortunately, poor records were kept, however [[Phantom]] and the [[Phantom Narwhal]] won.

Hosted in early 2017 by [[Browe|Browe_]], (the exact date was not recorded) this was the first battle at the new Ship Wreck Isle, built by [[Browe|Browe_]] and [[NickyB_123|NickyB_123]]. Astro was in [[Phantom]] and piloting the [[Phantom Narwhal]]; [[Phantom]] once again showed its naval power and proved victorious.

Also hosted in early 2017 by [[Browe|Browe_]], (the exact date was not recorded) this was the second battle to be held at Ship Wreck Isle. Astro was still in [[Phantom]] and piloted the [[Phantom Narwhal]]; [[Phantom]] maintained its dominance and won yet again.

On October 28, 2017, Astro brought the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] into battle. It was dealt severe damage early on and quickly disabled.

On November 4, 2017, Astro brought the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] into battle again. This time, it proved victorious. After command was given to Nationalistic (more commonly known as TheSmilingFlea), the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] disabled the Teletub and won the battle.

On April 7, 2018, Astro returned to ship battles. After skipping two battles due to rule changes, he came to spectate. Near the halfway point, [[Maximus_Terragon]] offered to let Astro join the Teletub as it joined the battle. Astro agreed and the Teletub finished the battle tied for victory with three other ships.

On May 26, 2018, exactly six since months since the last ship battle the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] participated in, Astro returned and ended his boycott on battles organized by [[Maximus_Terragon]]. At the end of the battle, four ships, including the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]], remained. The winner was decided by which ship had the most blocks remaining at the end. The [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]] emerged victorious with 93.4% of blocks remaining. This was the last scheduled Battle of Freeport.

On August 18, 2018, the first ship battle in [[Maximus_Terragon]]'s new arena took place. Astro once again brought the [[The Phantom Narwhal|Phantom Narwhal]]. Accompanying him as the crew were BlackShadow969, Dark_101, MinisterMoo, and OmegaVenom1. Ultimately, they finished in second place. The battle was well fought given the new rules, new [[Narwhals|Narwhal]] design, and new arena.
