The Sons of the Serpent seize the GCOA orbital station. The Royal Phantom Corps and Aurora Rangers mount the joint rescue named Operation Celestial Aegis; Blackwood and Gallagher fight side by side; the Prophet is captured.
Someone the players know is on that station. The seizure in 2098 made the Post-LIC Era possible and made the Orbital Era personal; the GCOA's governance has not been 'cooperative' since. The docx credits the seizure to the Void Walkers; the Setting Guide and the Over the Wall bible make it the Sons of the Serpent (CL-015). The rescue keeps its name and its heroes.
Ruled · CL-015
The Sons of the Serpent seized the station. Operation Celestial Aegis remains the name of the Royal Phantom Corps and Aurora Rangers rescue, and the Prophet's capture stands. The Void Walkers attribution is superseded.
