History
The story begins when this system was first discovered about three centuries ago. It was a pristine paradise of planets orbiting twin stars that became irresistible to space explorers and wealthy tycoons who saw an opportunity to expand their wealth. A relatively short but merciless war soon ensued with the first settlers of Psamathe and the IMC (Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation). IMC, no stranger to taking what it wants, ended up rallying much stronger.
The crown jewel of Psamathe and the most compelling part of its story is the City of Angels. Built according to a contemporary architectural vision, it encapsulated the charm of paradise in its surroundings. The city served as a haven for the rich and powerful from across the star systems, and its towering skyline conferred privilege and grandeur.
But Angel City isn't Psamathe's only claim to fame. Its repertoire includes Solace, one of the brightest planets known to man, and Samathi, the dark planet that harbors the explosive secrets of the IMC. With the Outlands emerging as the new focal point for Apex Games, Psamathe's historical significance embraces a new chapter eager to uncover new stories hidden among the celestial beauty.
Background
However, this was not always the case. Psamathe was originally a barren, desolate planet. The transformation began under the leadership of the great Chevrex family, which founded Olympus. His unwavering dedication has made Olympus a hotbed of innovation, a playground for the galaxy's brightest minds.
But beneath the shiny surface of Olympus' grandeur lie many untold stories. Wrapped up in these stories is the downfall of the first family, the Chevrexes. The family's fortunes took a dramatic turn when Newton Somers, aka Horizon's son, and his babysitter mysteriously disappeared. It is thought that the disastrous phase shift that later hit Olympus had something to do with this unfortunate incident.
Now Psamathe is trapped in an intriguing paradox of grandeur and decadence. Despite unsolved mysteries and looming danger, gladiatorial combat thrives on Olympus, the infamous Apex Games. These brutal yet thrilling games attract champions from across the galaxy, creating a colorful and unforgiving landscape.
The historical record of Psamathe is not only about rise and fall, but also about survival and courage. With each sunrise, the inhabitants challenge their limits and demonstrate their resilience, making Psamathe's story a constant chorus of triumph and turmoil in the Apex Legends universe.
