Space Soldiers has been the home of XANTARES since the end of 2014. Engin "⁠ngiN⁠" Kor and Ahmet "⁠paz⁠" Karahoca joined the side at the start of 2016 while the duo of Engin "⁠MAJ3R⁠" Küpeli & Buğra "⁠Calyx⁠" Arkın joined in at the start of last year.

Most recently, they attended the FACEIT Major New Challengers Stage where they had to play with Canpolat "⁠hardstyle⁠" Yıldıran as ngiN was unable make it to London, and BLAST Pro Series Istanbul where they finished in fourth place. They are also competing in ESL Pro League Season 8 Europe where they have a 5-3 record.
