The FDI was founded in No Man's Sky 1.3 Atlas Rises by Slade Braddock of EPIC, Lillihop of the NMS Cafe and Panda of the YouTube Channel The Hidden Panda Show. It was founded in the Euclid Delta as a free society where our members, unencumbered by oppressive rules, would be part of a civilization where they are free to create their own experiences in No Man's Sky with other like minded players.

After No Man's Sky NEXT reset the universe we relocated to the edge of the quadrant to a system called Pidstain in the Astara Region. Pidstain is the capital star system, Onya is the capital planet, and Astara is the star cluster where it is located. Since our inception our hub has grown to contain several civilizations across multiple platforms. We pride ourselves on having a fun, and very active chat, multiple civs for multiple play styles, and some of the most elite builders, ship and multitool hunters, story tellers, and PVP players in No Man's Sky. As a matter of fact on more than one occasion Hello Games has either shared, or featured on their website, one of our builders creations. We hope we have built a fun and inclusive environment where friendships are forged, and creativity flows.
