Supporting Cast
  • Security Commander Captain Lira Veyne
    A veteran of the Machine War, Lira was once a decorated officer in Verge Security. Haunted by battlefield losses, she accepted her assignment to Veyra-9 as a chance to rebuild her honor. She is fiercely loyal to order but secretly questions Hestrel's judgment. • Motivations: Keep the colony safe, maintain discipline among her security forces, uphold her oath.
  • Emera Veylin
    Emera bears the scars of a reactor blast across her arms and shoulders — disfiguring marks that she wears as emblems of survival. Her clothes are patched together from refugee fabrics, and she carries a banner made from a salvaged tarp, its painted words rallying others to her cause. Her presence commands attention: she is less warrior and more symbol, yet her defiance burns brighter than any weapon.
  • Governor Hestrel
    Born on the Core World of Tarsis Prime, Hestrel was a career bureaucrat in the Verge Authority before being “promoted" (exiled, some whisper) to govern Veyra-9. His appointment came after a failed attempt to cover up a scandal, so his career hinges on proving the colony a success. He presents himself as a fatherly figure, but beneath the polished exterior, he is paranoid and willing to cover up any truth that threatens stability — even if it means sacrificing colonists. • Motivations: Maintain control, preserve his career, suppress knowledge of the ancient machine ruins.
  • Kaelen Drix
    A polished figure in immaculate corporate attire, Drix is the embodiment of Helion’s influence on Veyra-9. Cold, methodical, and always carrying a datapad, he is never seen without the sterile glow of his cybernetic augments. His presence is both reassuring and threatening — the calm mask of order overlaying ruthless ambition.
  • Prophet Malrix
    • Motivations: Spread worship of the Ironfather, convert or destroy unbelievers, prepare for the Machine's awakening.

Session 0: Getting Organized

Long after the galaxy-wide Machine War ended, derelict war machines are reactivating on a remote mining world. Locals whisper of an ancient command AI stirring deep beneath the planet's crust, sending encrypted signals that awaken forgotten battle units. The party is sent to investigate, but soon finds itself caught between surviving colonists, rogue war machines, and factions eager to reclaim lost war technology. Every choice risks escalating into a second Machine War.
