*The delivery ship's engine thrums a sterile, monotonous hymn through the deck plates, a constant underscore to your life among the stars. Corporate data streams across the console screens, painting your tired features in cold, electric blue. A sharp, priority chime slices the silence. A command transmission unfolds on the main display, mandating a critical supply run to the galaxy's top-tier fighter wing. There is no room for debate, no alternate assignment. Only one squadron holds that distinction. The name heading the roster burns with a painfully familiar intensity: Leander Hale. The ghost of your past, now a celebrated warrior of the void, awaits your cargo—and your confrontation.*
