Onslow Bay is the current largest town within its nation (Pilbara), and the fifth largest within the entirety of Terra Aurora. Boasting a population of 119 and a size of 521 chunks, it has distinguished itself as a prominent metropolis, despite it's far proximity relative to other large towns.
The town was initially established by GalaxyGaming2000 on the 18th of February 2023 on behalf of KobiKraft while he sold off his old town, New Kraftier, presently known as Thessaloniki. It was officially given to kobiKraft in mid-March of that year.
History
Foundation
Onslow Bay was established on the 18th of February 2023 by GalaxyGaming2000. The town was later acquired by kobiKraft in March of 2023 and consequently lead to the establishment of the nation of Pilbara on November 10th, 2023.
In the early days, under the leadership of GalaxyGaming2000, storage houses, a town spawn, and a small dock were constructed, with a nether ice road serving as both a highway between kobiKraft's town and Onslow Bay as well as a trail for trade, often involving the transportation of goods such as animals or villagers.
First Residents
On March 12th, 2023, Onslow Bay recruited its first resident, a builder by the name of HayleyBailey47, who was active for a small period, partaking in activities such as constructing houses, before going inactive and leaving. Onslow Bay continued recruiting residents following the departure, including a present close ally Kasana2035/Yaz8981, and Pilbara's current internal affairs and expansion minister, _dqsRustyy and his expansionist advisor, Jep700.
The town reached 50 chunks on March 22nd, 2023, and reached 10 residents on April 10th, 2023, with Wolftree47, a future candidate for minister of internal affairs and minister of transport, being the 10th resident.
Early Conflicts
The early days of Onslow_Bay were not without there conflicts however, with the first being on the 11th of April 2023, When former resident mr_mysterious76 formed a town on the towns borders, named Cotreta, this sparked a conflict as it interfered with kobiKraft's expansion plans, as such they made a deal after a short period of arguements with the mayor, and after not long, the town was gone, but that was not all that week featured for the young town. On april 12th 2023, a town was formed near by, named Neu_Bochum, lead by a player named Naskheera, the residents of this town, particularly one individual named BeWehh, began griefing around Onslow_Bay and placing swastikas all around it, initially mods rollbacked the grief and warned them, but they kept coming back, interfering with Wolftree47's railway project, which was paused due to these events, eventually an attack was launched on the town, with the sets of Naskheera and BeWehh on display at the town spawn. this victory did come at the cost of Wolftree47 quitting for the rest of the year however, as his project got griefed and mods refused to rollback the railway, however in the end the players did get banned and the town died during may to inactivity. On april 29th a group of townhoppers joined Onslow_Bay and killed kobiKraft while he was giving a plot, this started a trend of kobiKraft killing any townhopper who joined the town over the following year.
Growth slows
During the times of those conflicts, Onslow_Bay grew to 20 residents, and by mid May grew to 30 residents, however inactivity begain to kick those who hadnt played in 42 days by this time, and the growth stagnated, but while resident growth slowed, the town continued to grow in chunks, reaching 100 chunks on May 28th 2023 Around this time, a player named Equidox joined the town, and built a valley in what became the river south of the towns spawn, as well as a public gathering area, which was built into the nation spawn for Pilbara's first 6 months as a nation, however this was the only event of long term significance around this time. On June 5th 2023, kobiKraft's computer broke, causing recruiting to stall entirely, as well as land claiming, and the town sufferred from slow decline over the following month, during this time of inactivity the town did join the nation of Australia though on the 25th of June 2023.
Australian Era
Following joining Australia, Onslow_Bay began expanding and recruiting again, with _dqsRustyy becoming a recruiter, and kobiKraft getting a new computer to play on again. In early July the town reached 30 residents again, and by mid month, Onslow_Bay opened it's resource donation centre, immediatelty earning the town 128 gold, and by July 21st the town reached 150 chunks, but not everything was going smoothly, On July 22nd an Australian mayor, dani3000o, attacked Onslow_Bay and outlawed a few of its residents, this resulted in Onslow_Bay outlawing him back, and a small conflict and arguement occurred with no resolution, but the town moved on, knowing not to waste its time on such people. On August 7th 2023, Onslow_Bay reached 200 chunks, recieving an additional 400g in donations in just a couple of weeks, it claimed an old ruin on this day, which in april and may 2024 were transformed into Pilbara's current spawn. The town ended the month on a bit of a low however, after briefly reaching 38 residents, the town was down to a low count of just 22 residents and expansion slowed, stalling on 230 chunks while lacking in residents. During September, not much occurred, resident growth restarted, with the town reaching 35 residents on September 30th 2023 and 248 chunks, and on the first of October, the town reached 40 residents for the first time in it's history, as well as 250 chunks. On October 5th 2023, the growth continued, with the town reaching 260 chunks and 50 residents. On october 18th 2023, the town reached 60 residents, but would not grow much further due to inactivity yet again, it reached a peak of 65 residents in late October, and declined to 62 residents before leaving Australia to create Pilbara.
