The Story Until Now
Everything we know about how the Periphery March came to be — the corporate record, the banned history, and the dossiers that fill in what both leave out. New personnel start here. The short version: a poker debt, a dead colony, a germanium asteroid, three worlds that fed each other through a war, a company that became a state without ever admitting it, and the pirate queen whose execution taught us what the fleet was for.
