Early-Mid 2015-2016 — C_Corp2002 Started toying with the idea of a Minecraft Server, but didn’t know what it should looklike. (Something Sci-Fi/Space)
Late 2016 — C_Corp2002, ButtonmashTP (Now: Oshwatt), Millycow, Crazymario5, and MusicalDuck (All IRL friends of C_Corp2002) started playing a Mojang-Hosted Realms SMP Server for fun and hanging out.
Late 2016-Early 2017 — The first Realm expired. C_Corp2002 wanted something similar to the experiance we had back with the realm, so C_Corp2002 took it upon themself, and started learning programming/”Code” and how to use many other programs and software. C_Corp2002 started a few small test servers to get a feel for running a Spigot/Bukkit-based Minecraft Server.
Mid 2017-Late 2017 — Colossal Factions was born out a merger between the original concept of “A cool place to hangout after school”, and a “A place where epic battles and nations canrise and fall”. It eventually picked up a few non-IRL players along theway. Most notably Gateway_Guardian (Now: Hoshi) who has became a greatly trusted and valued friend to C_Corp2002.
Early 2018-Late 2018 — Colossal Factions expanded upon the previous concept and grew more into what we can recognize nowadays; A multi-server network with many Planets in addition to Buildable, block-based, Movecraft Vehicles. Colossal Combat was born.
2019-Present Colossal Combat/The Celestial Expanse has grown a lot since 2018, *far too much to write down, But a brief summary of what has been added is as follows:
Custom Randomly Generated Planets with Unique Terrain
Custom Blocks, Mobs, Weapons and Items (Resource Pack required to see most of them)
Movecraft-based Starships and other vehicles. The First Server to achieve fully autonomous, NPC/AI Controlled Ships
*A(n) ever growing Wiki (At long last!)
*More reliable code (Phewh!)
* Primarily because C_Corp2002 is still actively working on The Celestial Expanse.

Planet Minecraft requires that I enter words into the description of the server. Apparently these banners filled with beautiful images and luscious paragraphs were just not enough. Personally I think that’s a bit ridiculous considering actions speak louder than words, y’know? Like, my gigantic screenshots with shaders of our Gallifrey citadel are more impressive than me typing “We’ve got Gallifrey, and we’ve got… uhhh… we’ve got Daleks..”
