History

The interior of Lailai Airfield

Lailai was officially claimed on April 18, 2022, during the construction of Vakasuka.

The island was completely terraformed and built in singleplayer and pasted onto the server through World Edit schematics. The island was flattened and dotted with rocks, dead bushes, birch leaves, and dead coral to fit the desolate vibe of the island.

On April 21, 2022, Needn_NL pasted the airfield onto the server through 10 schematics, resulting in the airport being completed that day. The island was declared completed on April 23, 2022, when all of the gates at Lailai Airfield had a vehicle at them.

Etymology

The island is named after the Fijian word for 'small'. The Siliva Lighthouse is named after the Fijian word for 'silver'.
