TAKYON is a base primarily formed by VetoTheNeato, with most members consisting of former members of Sigil. It features some of the server's most respected players, but details retaining to the base are hard to come by, as the members are very secretive on information. While members remain adamant that pictures and videos will be shown in the future, none such documentation exists at the moment. The name "TAKYON" is derived from the tachyon, a hypothetical particle that, if it existed, would be able to reach speeds faster than light. This name was translated into shorthand slang and became TAKYON. Some members, (namely Nddragoon), insist it is to be called Tachyon, while VetoTheNeato prefers to call it TAKYON (in all caps, always). This argument is the only case of internal conflict at TAKYON.

Founding
The idea for TAKYON came from VetoTheNeato who was stricken with grief following the loss of Sigil. Sigil was another of Veto's bases, which shared many members with what would come to be TAKYON. The base showed great promise, but was destroyed and abandoned after the events of The Sigil Conflict, where Lord1 began killing players indiscriminately after someone placed a sign on his build. In a fit of rage, he began revolting against all Sigil members. When Ostrich1414 logged on, flew to Sigil, and began fighting back against Lord, Lord fled. He later attempted to grief Shitstania, a small public spawn base. The grief wasn't effective in the slightest, and Lord fled again, remarking on how he had better things to do. He did not.
After this incident, VetoTheNeato did not want to lose the great team that made up Sigil, so he began asking certain members individually if they wanted to be a founding member of a new base. Everyone he asked said yes, and TAKYON was born.
Districts
Below is a list of Takyon's districts, in order of their addition to the base.
Takville
Takville is the overground portion of Takyon. It is both the oldest and most expansive area of the base. Featuring classic imperial architecture and dense, tightly-packed neighborhoods, Takville is truly a sight to behold.
Notable Structures: Unnamed Castle, VetoTheNeato's House, Takville Town Square
Notable Contributors: VetoTheNeato, Jtov
The Underground
The Underground is a network of advanced, complex redstone builds housed within an expansive underground labyrinth. Inspired by bases like [[Estevez], the underground features numerous automatic farms and utilities. The most notable of which being the villager breeding/trading center. Housing well over 100 villagers, this trading center is one of, if not the most complex and definitive trading centers on Simpvp.
Notable Structures: Numerous automatic farms, villager breeder/trading system, gunpowder farm

Notable Structures: Portal hub, Bikini Bottom
Notable Contributors: Nddragoon, VetoTheNeato, DiGGing4gold
Takistan
Takistan is the city-themed portion of Takyon, modeled around cities such as Yittrium, Struthio, Segoria, and Nos Aterna. It is separated from the other districts by a large mountain resemblant of Mount Rushmore, with multiple Takyon member's heads featured rather than various presidents. This district is the fastest-growing out of all of Takyon.

History
Motivated to start a new Simpvp superpower, VetoTheNeato took his last two Diamond Blocks and flew millions of blocks out over multiple days of travel. His plan was to start close to a Guardian Temple, but he abandoned this plan when he found a mountainous area with stunning, snow-capped mountains and surrounded by a vast ocean. He constructed the portals, but was horrified when they didn't work. Did he break the chain? After some panicking, he realized he had built the portals out of blocks of coal rather than obsidian. Over the next week, all members would arrive and begin contributing to the base.
