Estevez, or "Vez" for short, is a massive underground base founded by Porkington, ostrich1414, and Master_Xybot in October 2017. Being the first major build for the co-founders' team, The League, Estevez consists of a large, complex web of underground rooms and tunnels connecting each other, putting a primary focus on beauty and grandiosity as well as functionality and self-sufficiency. Estevez itself is completely closed-off from the outside world, and its never-ending network of tunnels, rooms, and halls continue to grow each day.

History

Going their Own Way

Shortly after the War of Monarchia from September 27th, 2017 - October 6th, 2017 and the collapse of the United Alliance, former UA members Porkington and ostrich1414 used the event to secretly carry out plans they had for a new base. Prior to the war, the two grew weary of the UA's future, and ostrich1414 was beginning to tire as its leader. Using growing tensions with clipchip as a scapegoat, resulting in the UA's collapse, the pair eventually went their own ways to develop this new base in secret: a large underground complex which would remain self-sufficient.

After choosing a location, the pair began by constructing a massive underground dome, supported by stone brick columns. Modeled after a previous smaller dome built by Porkington, the dome's size surpassed their initial expectations, and this boosted their confidence and morale, convincing them to go bigger and more grand with their base. As the dome neared completion, the two eventually recruited fellow ally and former UA member Master_Xybot to come and help them at the dome, and very soon it was finished by all three players.

The Birth of Estevez

As work on the dome finished off, Porkington decided on the name "Estevez" for the impending base; more commonly, it was referred to as "Vez" for short. The three then began focusing on utilities and functionality, creating various underground farms to assist with their team's growth and to assure that Estevez would remain a self-sufficient base. With these new farms, Estevez grew significantly in size: soon, grand halls and intricate foyers were constructed within the complex, and many smaller tunnels helped to connect the rooms together and allow for easier accessibility and transportation.

By this time, in November 2017, Estevez was no longer just a dome, but a series of underground networks and halls, marked with beautiful chambers within it. As Estevez developed, all three members evolved into taking different jobs: Porkington began constructing other smaller domes and halls, Master_Xybot worked on automatic farms and mechanical utilities, and ostrich1414 worked on storage solutions and progression.

The Underground Empire

Eventually, by December 2017, Estevez experienced a small cool-down as work decreased and the members shifted focus towards other areas of the team's goals. Ostrich1414 and Porkington began working heavily on villager farms at their other major base, Struthio, as well as beginning work on the Hall of Vatlos. Spawn affairs became important as well, and Porkington, using his alt not_pippenger, focused on recruiting new players and bringing them to the team's recruitment center, Grasstle. Master_Xybot would typically stay back at Estevez, however, and much of the growth of the base during this period was due to him.

In early January of 2018, the three invited fellow ally Cinnablaw to Estevez, where she would begin working as a new member of the team. Shortly after, despite being nameless for almost three months, the team chose the name The League, and formally announced it to the server, and adorned Estevez with the team's signature banners and memorabilia.
