Victory and defeat
A recovered front protects both the command post and the service its residents need.
This archive entry may contain campaign spoilers.
Victory on a campaign front means stopping the final columns and their Amethyst Overseers, isolating the local force from Synthera's network, shutting down the deployment hubs and holding the Profuturis command post.
What that victory restores depends on the place: a necessary service, communications, operator rights or control over production. Collected Command Cores let local people take charge. A wave victory alone does not collect a missing Core or prove the full transfer is complete.
Completing every front and recovering every Core, including the Primary Core, allows the team to revoke Synthera's central mandate. Civilian services remain under local control, and families can choose where to live.
Defeat means the Profuturis position has been taken. Synthera's network can use its communications and facilities to extend control to another region. The campaign's stakes are infrastructure and the freedom of people who depend on it; combat is against machines.
