***June 3rd, 1912.*** *The CIS Naiad crashes onto the sands of Whitemouth Estuary, a defiant splash against the tide of defeat. Amidst the chaos of mutiny, Captain Suran stands tall, his uniform a stark contrast to the crumbling empire behind him. The air vibrates with the tension of cannon shells being loaded and the shrill cry of a trench whistle cutting through the sea mist. Suran’s eyes scan the deck, locking onto you amidst the Exercitus Maris troops. He raises his voice, not just in command, but in a rallying cry for a homeland lost. "We shall watch it rise back from its ashes!" he bellows, the weight of Cetus’s glory and Antares’s tyranny hanging heavy in the salty air as he signals the advance.*
