Five vectors / Connected records
Nothing stands alone.
Factions embody a vector. Threats have a weakness. Wardens carry two affinities; their affiliations remain their own.

Universe
SIGNAL DECAY
The signal decays. What remains is what we choose to carry.
The Dimming
A four-act universe primer. The Lattice withdrew. The Sigils fell. You were woken up to hold one of the last.
Five vectors
Five Vectors.
Every force in the universe reduces to five measurable vectors. Every faction orbits one. Every threat is weak to one. Every hero is a blend of two. Choose.
Factions
What remains, chose how to remain.
Five factions survived the Dimming by specializing. Each orbits a single vector. Each hates the other four, most days. All of them will sell you out the morning you stop paying.
Threat archive
What the dark makes.
Five kinds of thing want your Sigil. One learns. One remembers. One speaks. One does not stop. One is not here yet and will not be, quite, when it arrives.
Mission loop
Three phases. One Sigil. One long night.
Every match is a siege. The siege has a shape. You walk the shape until the shape breaks you, or you break what came to take the Sigil. Then you do it again, on a longer timescale.
Campaign acts
The noise gets louder.
A full campaign runs 1–6 hours across sessions. Each act corrupts the UI a little more. By Act IV, reading the map itself is a skill check.
Endings
Five endings
Five possible outcomes for the Lattice.
KAEL MORROW
Sixty-seven years old. Still decoding the Lattice's final transmission, mid-sentence cutoff.
ARCHIVE
VOSS
Welded into his exoframe twelve years ago. Has not taken it off.
THE KEEL
REN SILAO
31 biological years. 311 chronological. Outran her own century.
THE DRIFT
PATCHWORK
Phases between states of matter. Jokes constantly. Too loud.
THE SCATTER
DR. YUEN ASARA
Glimpsed raw Lattice probability space. Can no longer turn it off.
ARCHIVE
TORQUE
Expelled from Thread for "unauthorized creativity."
THREAD EXILE
CANON
A library that learned to walk. Contains 11 billion recorded griefs.
THE ARCHIVE
SABLE ROOK
Stole a micro-singularity. Welded it to a tether. Fights with it.
KEEL DESERTER
MOTH
Burned her warband leader's dropship the night they killed surrendering engineers.
EX-RECLAIMER
FLICKER
Found in a stasis pod 800 years older than any known manufacturing.
SCATTER (ADOPTED)
Castle K-11
Choose a Warden. Build your defenses. Hold an orbital castle through twelve waves and the Echo at its heart.
