He is credited with the design and building of spawn, many of the server's ships at warps, rebuilding cove, hosting the server ship battles and building of the arena, designing and testing of the crates and their drops, creation of over half of the server's brews, creation of several new cannons and projectiles, hosting of the two BoTMs in 2018, the organisation of the staff team, as well as creating/developing the configs for many of the server's plugins including cannons, crates, xmas and halloween events, brewing, and chat messages.

'''Early Days'''
'''Brief Overview'''
Xeron joined in April 2015 and was the founder of the [[Xenon Empire]]. He was heavily involved in the [[First Verussian War]], [[Second Verussian War]], developing the [[League of Nations]], and later the [[Commonwealth]]. Under his leadership the Xenon Empire was merged with other crews to form the [[Xanthian Order]] in 2017. In April 2017 Xeron was promoted to Commodore (mod), and became admin in September 2017 so took a step back from drama. After being promoted to vice-admiral (head/super-admin) he created his 'retirement crew' [[Xenia]].


Xeron joined the server in early 2015, and soon after founded [[Port Terragon]]. [[Lego]] helped him out early on, lending resources and helping rid his port of pirates. He joined [[Red Lotus]] alongside Lego, before briefly joining the [[0utlaws]].
'''Absence, retirement, and removal from staff'''
After a period of inactivity and dis-interest in late 2020, Xeron took a 3-month break in December with little to no communication to the staff team or community. This appeared to deeply upset Godsdead as it forced him to find a replacement 'staff team leader' or push for more cooperation among the team. He briefly returned during this period to finish outstanding plugin projects in anticipation of him permanently quitting.  


Xeron eventually settled in the newly founded [[Ottoman Empire]], with Lego as its leader. His port was named the Ottoman capital. In July 2015, the annual Elven ball was held at the port, but turned into a bloodbath after the [[0utlaws]] attacked.
In March 2021 he returned to PMC with the intention to push for big server changes as a result of glaring issues that had become apparent over the previous 6 months of general inactivity with the hope of finding new purpose on the server. These changes were suggested and discussed with Godsdead privately and included: a less hostile attitude from Gods towards the community, reduction or removal of pay2win features such as /back and instant tp, additional cosmetic items for the store, and payment for future plugin and config work given the large amount of work previously done.


'''Xenon Empire'''
Godsdead acknowledged his inproper behaviour towards the community but rejected the remaining suggestions and demand for payment, and wrongly assumed that Xeron would therefore quit. Therefore, in an escalation of events Xeron's access to all plugin and config work was revoked, along with website admin permissions. When confronted with this by Xeron, Godsdead denied any wrongdoing and continued to push a hostile narritive. This culminated in Xeron formally retiring as staff as a result of "having the door slammed in my face after being taken for granted for 4 years with little to no appreciation".


He left the [[Ottoman Empire]] after a couple of months, before joining the [[Luteus Republic]] briefly, and eventually founding his own empire; the [[Xenon Empire]]. Once again he proclaimed his port the capital, and all nearby land under his control.
As of May 2021 Xeron retains his in-game rank although many of the permissions have been removed.


In late July 2015, the [[Verussian Empire]] annexed nearby Elven land, and subsequently became a neighbour to the [[Xenon Empire]]. Friction started when Verussian officials threatened to annex Xenon land, and turn Port Terragon into a colony. The Verussian Empire at the time also had issues with other nations in the [[League of Nations]] (back then named 'The Allied'). Xeron appeal to the League of Nations for help, and his empire was invited to join. Within a week, war was declared and the [[First Verussian War]] began.
The war ended after a couple of weeks with the surrender of the Verussians. The Xenon Empire gained a large amount of land, and Xeron saw to populate that land with new members. During this period the Xenon Empire grew rapidly reaching over 60 members. He hired Lord_Akley_VII as a butler and personal adviser, and renamed Port Terragon to the Port of Xenia.
Renewed troubles with the Verussian Empire led to the [[Cold War]] and subsequent arms race between many nations. The [[Xenon Tower]] was constructed during this period, as were more defences and walls around the port, hugely increasing its size. In early March 2016, war broke out once more and the [[Second Verussian War]] began. The war ended after a week.
'''The Xanthian Order'''
The Xenon Empire had become very inactive by mid 2016, with only Xeron and Lord Akley remaining. The decision was made in late 2016 to merge the Xenon Empire with the [[Templars]], and later the [[Iborian Empire]] and [[Luteus Republic]], thus creating [[The Xanthian Order]]. Xeron remained emperor of his original crew, but also declared himself Supreme Master of the new crew.
The crew later merged with the [[Elven Empire]] after Xeron 'married' [[Reptaria]] of the Elves. A low point in his career as he recounted. The merger was short lived, and the Elves became independent once more. By mid 2017, the crew had once more become inactive, and Xeron left in October 2017.
'''Xenia'''
Xeron, now a server admin, largely retired from server on-goings, focusing more on building a new port, moderation, event hosting, and configs. The old [[Port of Xenia]] was regened, and a new larger port was founded in the nearby bay aiming to be the largest port on the server. It is estimated to be completed by early 2020.

'''Ship Battles'''
Although not the first to host a server-wide ship battle (that credit goes to [[Browe]]), he has popularised them and still hosts them. As of July 2018, he has hosted 15 battles, with overall large numbers of players participating. A new arena was constructed for the revival of ship battles, which was finished in August.

Xeron

Date Joined: 26 May 2015
Residence: Port of Xenia
Crew: Xenia
Rank: Quartermaster, Vice Admiral


Xeron (aka Maximus_Terragon) is a member of the staff team and server admin. He is most known for hosting the server ship battles, his shipbuilding, and being Godsdead's secretary. He received the rank of housewright, moderator, and admin in 2017 in quick succession. In 2018 he was symbolically 'promoted' to be Godsy's secretary, requiring him to wear a short skirt during his duty. After Godsdead and Iamthereaper89 (upon his return), he is essentially third in command.

Server wise, he is the founder of the Xenon Empire, The Xanthian Order, and later Xenia - all reasonably established crews. Since becoming admin, he has retired from participating in server drama to focus more on moderation and development.

Overview

An avid builder, some of his most known structures are the Port of Xenia; one of the largest ports on the server, the Grand Ballroom; host of the Royal Elven Ball, and the Xenon Tower; one of the tallest towers on the server (was demolished in January 2018). He also owns one of the largest and most accurate ship fleets on the server, being based off French 1780s designs.

He is credited with the design and building of spawn, many of the server's ships at warps, rebuilding cove, hosting the server ship battles and building of the arena, designing and testing of the crates and their drops, creation of over half of the server's brews, creation of several new cannons and projectiles, hosting of the two BoTMs in 2018, the organisation of the staff team, as well as creating/developing the configs for many of the server's plugins including cannons, crates, xmas and halloween events, brewing, and chat messages.
