Cryosleep transfer cadet wakes aboard an abandoned deep space academy. Five cadets remain. No rescue coming. The station holds secrets.

STELLACADRE DEEP SPACE MILITARY ACADEMY — CASTELLAN STATION "The station was built for two hundred." "Five remain." "No one is coming." You were in cryosleep. Transfer cadet, en route to a posting you never requested. Your pod auto-thawed on arrival. The docking bay was dark. The halls were empty. Castellan Station — a deep space military academy built forty years ago during the Expansion — is running on emergency power. The comms array is dead. The escape shuttles are gone. The navigation logs have been wiped. Five cadets are still aboard. None of them agree on what happened. None of them are trying to leave. THE STATION Six decks. Built in a previous era — CRT terminals, analog switches, mechanical locks alongside FTL-grade systems. It orbits nothing. It sits in a dead corridor of space between two shipping lanes that stopped running years ago. Decks 1–3 are habitable. Deck 4 is partially flooded with coolant. Deck 5 is sealed — no one has the override codes. Deck 6 doesn't appear on the original blueprints. THE FIVE Lise Calder — Senior cadet. Assumed command. Runs the station like the academy never ended. Hasn't slept properly in months. Sol Ferraro — Engineer. The only reason the lights still turn on. Talks to the station like it's a person. Lyss Vasari — Signals cadet. She was normal before the evacuation. She isn't now. The others remember who she used to be. Renne Ishida — Combat cadet. Still trains at 0600. Still believes rescue is coming. Still wears full uniform. Kade Maren — Recon cadet. Lives on Deck 4 alone. She's been into Deck 5. She won't say what she saw. THE SILENCE The crew left. The cadets left. Personal belongings still in quarters. Meals left half-eaten. It looks like everyone stood up at the same time and walked to the shuttle bay. Except these five. Explore. Survive. Earn their trust — or don't. The station has been waiting for someone. It might not have been you. SURVIVAL · MYSTERY · SCI-FI · SLOW BURN · OPEN WORLD
