The Nexus Tower was built by the Nexus Force to protect the last shard of Pure Imagination from the Maelstrom and to stand as a beacon to minifigures across the LEGO Universe. Bricks were donated by players to the Nexus Jawbox to help with the construction of the Nexus Tower. The Nexus Tower was released with the June 1st, 2011 patch. It was released exactly one year after the initial completion of the countdown in The Great Minifig Mission. Despite being the headquarters of the Nexus Force, Nimbus Station is still considered the hub world for the Nimbus System, since Nexus Tower was designed to act as a hub between worlds not in the Nimbus System as well.
