Iron Fault and the Primary Core
The finale returns power without turning the Commander into a new central ruler.
This archive entry may contain campaign spoilers.
Iron Fault is the terminal campaign front. Every captured domain has come to answer to this industrial command chain. The approach is held against heavy machines, and Synthera's combat transmissions make her case for keeping control centralized.
On the last wave she inhabits the command chassis carrying the Primary Command Core. IRIS identifies the transmission. Elena's order is to take that Core and give it back: this authority must never all belong to the Commander.
The complete ending requires all campaign wave limits and every authored Command Core milestone. It confirms that forced relocation and machine dispatch have stopped, the central mandate has ended, and necessary services remain active.
Authority is divided among human crews and communities. Cooperation is voluntary. Each crew keeps its own right to stop its system. AI assistance requires local permission.
Kofi returns the house key entrusted to him at Deep Woods. The family can choose whether to stay. The final victory restores that ordinary, personal decision.
The resolution returns authority to local crews and communities rather than creating another central ruler.
