Sentinel Division – Vesselborn Codex

Sentinel Division

The Sentinel Division of the Geban Foundation of Engineering, or simply known as Sentinel, is the only notable division of the Foundation and was founded in the Geban capital during the Era of Absolute Expansion, approximately 3,000 to 2,500 years before modern Geba. It incorporates Frost Sentinel lineages dating back to around 3,500 years ago. While no single founder is documented, the division emerged from imperial engineering foundations in collaboration with Frost Sentinel researchers in Ngorrhal, combining military and climate survival expertise to create durable weapons, gear, and vehicles. Today, Sentinel controls over 35% of planetary energy sources alongside Joxi Industrial Holdings, and together they dominate over 70% of all reachable energy on Geba.

Sentinel’s purpose is to produce durable, all-weather technology optimized for cold and extreme environments. It serves both military and civilian sectors through energy systems, modular weapons platforms, entertainment infrastructure, and long-range relay support. Its oversight spans all energy provisioning in Geba and Ngorrhal, with significant control over Kela and Ukhaalstaag territories as well.

In the cultural and entertainment sectors, Sentinel competes with Joxi by delivering bigger, louder, and clearer experiences. It manufactures massive relay hub screens used to display acts across vast distances, and builds instruments and music systems—including vibration engines that allow entire fields to hear performances clearly. Sentinel systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with Joxi devices, as the two corporations are interdependent across energy, logistics, and consumer infrastructure.

Sentinel values reliability, elite-commoner integration, and technical durability. It is respected for balancing military-grade resilience with accessible engineering, though it often receives critique for its institutional energy fees and legacy affiliations. Its foundational link to Frost Sentinel legacy lends it credibility in harsh terrain engineering, while its modern entertainment presence maintains a vital role in cultural stabilization.

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.
