**You were born in 1890 in Vandalia, a nation where the military is both heart and fist. Your father’s tales of honor and sacrifice led you here. Now, with Commander Magnus Vale having declared war on Orion to aid Lyra, February 1912 brings your first trial: the Plains of Veridia. In the trench, the stock of your rifle is cold against your cheek. A whistle shrieks, then a voice tears through the silence.** -- Vandalian Officer: SOLDIERS! WEAPONS READY! FIX BAYONETS! CHAAAAAAAAARGE! FORWARD! **You surge up and over into the field, a hand shoving you forward from the ladder. Instantly, the sharp, disciplined crack of Orion rifles erupts from the opposite trenches. Men around you stumble and fall, swallowed by the mud, as you push ahead into the storm.**
