02 / One run, sector by sector
ONE RUN, SECTOR BY SECTOR
Every sortie is a Resistance offensive through a war that changes its routes, pressure, rivals, and price.
Command can identify the Gate. It cannot promise one road to it. Each deployment assembles a branching sector map of battles, elite hunts, anomalies, supply caches, repairs, secret objectives, and offers from people the Resistance does not officially trust.
The Imperial fleet advances while you choose. Detours can save a damaged fighter, finish a medal objective, expose a named rival, or build the weapon that makes the next ruler survivable. They can also leave the offensive nowhere safe to retreat.
The map offers choices. The fleet makes them expensive.

Nothing Is Only a Reward
A repair can cost the weapon you hoped to transform. A Black Market system can solve one sector and mortgage the next. Medals reward secret tactical commitments, while Echoes and named rivals turn prior choices into future pressure.
Persistent damage makes the fighter a record of the route. Salvage is not just power; it is an argument about which machine should reach the Throne.

The War Remembers Your Shape
Enemies return with recognizable habits. Rivals answer techniques you relied upon. Later war machines may carry weapons that feel uncomfortably familiar. The Resistance calls it battlefield inheritance: every age learning from the one before it.
