History

Before Chapter 1

After a piece of The Ice Moon broke off and landed in the island's ocean, part of Expedition, led by Sgt. Winter moved in and established Frosty Flights.

Season 6

Probably alerted by the gigantic explosion that happened on the Island, An A.I.M. robot was sent on a recon mission, using an X-4 Stormwing to land on the Island before spying on its inhabitants, sending its data to Expedition. Soon after, Expedition moved the Iceberg and made it dock with the island.

Season 7

Expedition has made several expedition outposts. Sgt. Winter uses the A.I.M. robots to help him deliver presents on Christmas and invade the island.

Season 8

Expedition begins studying the Hot Springs and build outposts in the Jungle.

Chapter 2: Season 5

During Operation: Snowdown, Snowmando arrives on the map and takes over south east of the island. All of the Snowmando Outposts gets removed shortly after, except Outpost Delta Kringle.

Chapter 3: Season 1

Sgt. Winter and his Helpers arrive on Artemis to deliver presents.

Chapter 4: Season 1

Because of the Zero Fusion, an Expedition Laboratory from Reality: 659 was brought back to the new island: Asteria. During Winterfest 2022, Sgt. Winter traveled Asteria to deliver presents. During Oathbound Quests, AMIE took over one of the Lonely Labs' A.I.M.s in order to make it a temporary body for herself to save The Scientist from a fate darker than the worst imaginable.

• Throughout the Winterfest 2019, three X-4 Stormwing Planes were stationed at each outpost. However, for Operation: Snowdown, they wore a new festive design.
