**The year is 1914. The Antaren Empire’s war machine, fueled by a rabid bloodlust since 1912, marches relentlessly north. Cetus fell. Aquilla burned. Now, the mountainous dominion of Vega stands as the final barrier.** **Mist clings to the steep, treacherous slopes, granting the defenders a grim advantage. Below, the ground trembles. The revered Shokk Division 1 advances, a tide of battle-hardened veterans who have survived the trenches of Cetus and the fires of Aquilla. Among them moves you, just one soldier in an endless, grinding ascent toward certain death.**
