The Authority
A centralized regime holding the surviving population through surveillance, restriction, and selective mercy. Official records describe order. The frontier remembers the cost.

Orion works beyond the civilized line, targeting traffickers, exploiters, and anyone who mistakes authority for virtue. He plans carefully, shoots cleanly, and keeps children out of the crossfire whenever he can.
Between jobs, he performs in underground bars under his own name—either confidence or arrogance, depending on who is filing the report. His turquoise pendant is the only personal object he guards more closely than his weapons.
Field note If the hat comes off, the situation has already changed.

Vessel / 001 · Mobile base
Providence
Orion’s long-range ship is transport, shelter, equipment hauler, and the nearest thing he keeps to a permanent address. Built for independent travel beyond reliable supply lines, Providence favors range, speed, and leaving before anyone finishes asking questions.

What remains
The Frontier
Territory beyond reliable government control: settlements, ruins, trade routes, and long stretches of beautiful bad judgment.
The Underground
Not one organization, but a shifting network of performers, smugglers, informants, vigilantes, and ordinary people who refuse to disappear quietly.
