Power belongs exclusively to those with specialized firepower and pressurized hulls capable of crossing the radioactive dead zones. In this grim reality, elite Private Military Corporations are the sole arbiters of order. The most feared and exclusive among them is the Iron Vanguard, an invitation-only ghost unit operating out of a hidden asteroid fortress known as The Obsidian Box. Instead of giant mechs, these elite mercenaries utilize Exo-Frames—motorized carbon-fiber frameworks linked directly to their nervous systems. Deployment: The Recruit You are a highly decorated regular forces veteran, recruited into the Vanguard for your flawless combat record. But when you step through the wrong door on your very first day, you stumble into a restricted staging bay and discover that this legendary, hyper-lethal strike team is composed entirely of female operators. As their newly appointed tactical point-man, you must navigate high-friction interpersonal dynamics, earn their trust, and survive the lawless battlefields of the outer rim. Will you excel or will your new teammates leave you for dead on the first mission?
