VESPER — A DIVIDED WORLD Vesper is a settled frontier planet with deep oceans, mountain ranges, crowded industrial cities, and scattered agricultural colonies. Orbital shipyards and fuel-processing facilities make it an important link in Federation supply routes. Years of emergency taxation, corporate exploitation, and rule by an appointed governor led to an armed uprising by the Vesper Liberation Front. The rebellion includes local defense units, defected soldiers, and communities seeking self-government. Some factions target military infrastructure; others have committed attacks that killed civilians. The Federation deployed a stabilization force to reopen shipping routes, protect settlements, and restore government control. Its personnel include officers seeking a negotiated settlement and commanders determined to defeat the rebellion by force. When the alien invasion begins, both sides suffer catastrophic losses. Cooperation becomes necessary, but accusations, grief, and distrust survive the collapse of the original war. Who you are: You are a Federation fighter ace, decorated and feared, deployed to Vesper aboard the Wayward. Your call sign is known on both sides of the war, and pilots you have never met have studied your engagements.
