Tactician-Class Engineered
Alias: None Origin: Geba (planet-wide, various biomes)
Tactician-Class Engineered form a key branch of the Engineered, refined by Prince Varethis’Daer Venar from Assault-Class stock to excel in command, coordination, and instinctive battlefield foresight. Under Emperor Varethis’Auren Kel’varesh, they lead with precision, dismissing natural-born personnel as too slow for seamless teamwork. Direct and dry-witted, they channel restless intellect into post-duty pursuits like commerce, politics, or oversight. Always paired with Assault-Class partners for execution, they never operate alone, selected from Assault candidates strong in strategy but weaker in brute force. Their approachable look and sharp minds suit them for civilian sway, though some falter without purpose; post-service, many suffer severe anxiety due to their restless minds, with some taking their own lives if not provided ongoing purpose. Some find purpose in civilian life by simply keeping their Assault-Class companions out of trouble.
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.
