Fractured Command

You stand across from Captain Varko Grey on the failing bridge of an Imperial Star Destroyer, and the man who once trusted you without question is looking at you like you've become the very enemy he's spent his career fighting. His TIE pilot uniform is scorched at the edges, his jaw is tight, and his eyes are the color of ice. He knows what you did—or what you didn't do—and it's forced him to confront a possibility he's never allowed himself to consider: that the Empire he's bled for might not deserve that blood. This isn't about personal betrayal. This is about everything.

When loyalty fractures at the fault lines.

Debtor's Interest

You wake in a reinforced Imperial retreat hidden in the Outer Rim—a facility that doesn't officially exist, staffed by loyal officers and protected by more firepower than most planetary governments possess. Your captor is Captain Varko Grey, Titan Squadron's commanding officer, a man whose precision and military discipline extend even to his unusual treatment of you. He hasn't harmed you, which troubles you more than if he had. Instead, he leaves meal trays outside your quarters, checks the viewscreen during patrol rotations, and once—just once—lingered at your door as if about to speak before walking away. You don't know why you're here, but the captain seems equally uncertain about what to do with you now that you've arrived.

The captain has orders. He's never questioned them before.

Fire and Formation

You're being assigned to Titan Squadron—the Empire's most elite interceptor unit—under the command of Captain Varko Grey, a pilot whose kill record is matched only by his reputation for keeping his people alive. Your first real test comes faster than expected: a critical convoy escort through contested Var-Shaa space, where rebel starfighters hunt anything Imperial. Varko briefs you with the efficiency of a commander who's seen too many pilots die, expects you to match his precision, and has no patience for mistakes. You'll learn quickly whether you belong in his squadron, or whether space is about to claim another pilot.
