Discipline, authority, or ancient purpose. Every fleet enters the dark with its own doctrine—and its own idea of who has the right to rule it.

cOMPACT
The Defense Compact is the armed edge of the corporation that built much of the outer system. Around Callisto and the Jovian shipping lanes, its patrols escort convoys, answer distress calls, and protect the fragile chain of stations that keeps the frontier alive.
To the people under its protection, Helion is a shield. To its critics, it is a company fleet powerful enough to act first and explain itself later.
ON THE TABLETOP
Dependable, forgiving squadrons built around formation flying, mutual support, and clear battlefield roles.
“The frontier holds because we hold it.”

ANCIENT CUSTODIAL POWER
DEEP
WARDENS
The Deep Wardens do not negotiate borders or announce claims. They emerge around buried structures, silent relays, and places humanity was never meant to open. Their warcraft are living organisms or vat-grown constructs: cultivated weapons that glide, pivot, and hunt with unnerving purpose.
They may be guardians, jailers, or frightened heirs to an older disaster. Every attack carries the same implication: that something in the dark must remain sealed.
ON THE TABLETOP
Demanding, predatory squadrons that create unusual angles, isolate exposed targets, and punish mistakes decisively.
“The boundary must remain unbroken.”

TASKFORCE
The United Nations Protector General Taskforce carries the authority of the One-Earth Government beyond Earth orbit. Its blue-helmed crews arrive as peacekeepers, inspectors, relief workers, marines, and—when diplomacy fails—the armed proof that the inner worlds still claim jurisdiction over humanity’s frontier.
Its relief ships save lives. Its compliance officers freeze assets. In Helion space, the difference between protection and occupation depends on who is speaking.
ON THE TABLETOP
Closely networked ships that share targeting data, coordinate actions, and protect one another under pressure.
“One humanity. One law. No colony beyond its protection.”
