The Timeline
From London to the edge of the solar system — the moments that define Book One, without giving away what waits at the end.
The People
Series One is Erin's story. But the world around her is populated by people with their own agendas, loyalties, and reasons to want — or bury — what she's found.
The Power Behind the Mission
The signal doesn't exist in a vacuum. The solar system's competing powers position themselves to control what comes next.
The Factions
The Ripple does not respect faction boundaries — it runs through the infrastructure every faction depends on. Each responds according to its interests. None of them fully cooperates.
Manages the political response from Lake Geneva. Attempts to coordinate without ceding control.
Operates the Celestial Horizon mission that carries Erin into the outer system.
Built and runs the Aether Network. Holds the most data. Shares the least.

Scientific voice in the inter-factional response. Operates Sirocco in the outer system.
Mobilises military assets toward the Kuiper anomaly. Chimera Redstar and Tianlong converge on Eris.
Launches reconnaissance drones from Astraea Station. Reaches the Eris corridor independently.
