Scout-Class Engineered

Alias: None
Origin: Geba (planet-wide, various biomes)

Scout-Class Engineered represent the masterpiece of Prince Varethis’Daer Venar's bioengineering, a sensory-dominant lineage of Engineered humans optimized for mapping uncharted lands, unassisted survival, and undetected terrain surveillance. Augmented senses detect broad light spectra, atmospheric shifts, scent trails, and subtle movements via anticipatory muscle cues, rendering them independent of unreliable tools. Their cognitive framework masters spatial archiving and multi-layered sensory recall, often isolating them as only peers comprehend their amplified reality. They distrust Tactician-Class leadership because Tacticians prioritize logical deduction over direct sensory input, which is the opposite of how Scouts rely on immediate, unfiltered perception. They excel at camouflaging in harsh natural surroundings, but they are the only common class completely unable to pass as natural-born among humans. The Tactician-Class appears ordinary at first glance, only revealing their superhuman intellect through speech and reasoning; the Assault-Class, while massive and towering, share faces identical to any natural-born human, allowing them to pass among people despite their size. The Scout-Class, on the other hand, cannot blend in due to visibly distinct traits: they range from standard human height to just under seven feet, with cranial structures showing slight nonhuman proportions like elongated ocular ranges and subtle skin translucency over the temples; their eye pigmentation shifts in unstable light, and muscle tone appears leaner and denser, often startling or scaring those who encounter them for the first time. Experts in improvised camouflage and prolonged stillness, they deem combat as a scouting lapse. Post-duty, some track for landowners or syndicates, others retreat to remote outposts like Saethera's brutal south alongside devoted Assault-Class companions. Their supreme vigilance unlocks untamed frontiers, indispensable for expedition threat evaluation.

About Vesselborn

Vesselborn is the story of Geba — a world that has carried an empire for six thousand years.

It begins with Vaer’karesh, who unites five nations into the first empire and fixes a common language and law. Across the ages, the empire fights and finally breaks Thazvaar, welcomes Jeyrha through engineering and diplomacy, and liberates Berinu by choice. In Ngorrhal, the people of the mountain passes lose their ancestral name and are permanently renamed the Frost Sentinels, whose strength helps secure imperial rule. The Haavu cannon systems cement that dominance.

At its height, the empire spans continents and raises relay towers that bind cities, coasts, and passes into one network. Assassinations and civil wars follow — the Fracture — but the answer is not a vacuum. The Shadow Rule forms from imperial networks and manufactures peace, ending the warlord broadcasts and taking the world back from collapse. They are the empire made quiet: continuity without ceremony.

Today, the Shadow Rulers still govern from the background while the Energy Wars — covert struggles over power grids and relays in uncivilized regions — decide who controls energy, transport, and culture.

Stories range from relay-field defenses and inland recoveries to city governance and frontier resettlement; from rail lines and air programs that stitch regions together to festivals and work crews where culture and politics collide; from Frost Sentinel memory to families choosing the safety of hub clearings or the risk beyond the grid.

This is Geba.
It began in silence.
It has not yet ended.
