TL;DR
BoredGamer narrates the lore history of the Nexus system in Star Citizen, focusing on two key 30th-century events: Kellar's Run in 2931 and the brutal Waltzer Massacre of 2935, in which the Horizon crew slaughtered everyone aboard OP Station Demien. The story centers on 14-year-old Arjen Waltzer, whose 50-minute comm to his mother alerted authorities and ultimately doomed the Horizon crew's takeover plan.
Key points
1
Kellar's Run in 2931 exposed the UEE's lack of control over the Nexus system, prompting a Senate-approved military campaign to reclaim it, starting with Nexus 3.
2
The UEE's pushback scattered outlaw factions, including the Horizon crew, who were then rebuffed by larger syndicates and forced to fight to reclaim their territory in Nexus.
3
On January 10th, 2935, the Horizon crew silently seized OP Station Demien during a security shift change, executing every person aboard in what became known as the Waltzer Massacre.
4
14-year-old Arjen Waltzer discovered the assault, stayed on comms with his mother Advocacy Agent Emily Waltzer for nearly 50 minutes, documented the attack, and alerted local law enforcement before being found and killed.
5
UEE Marines retook OP Station Demien in a 6-hour battle, destroying the Horizon crew, and the station remains a symbol of the ongoing effort to tame the Nexus system.
