Campaign Overview

Premise

The year is 2019. Around March 11, a meteor fragment struck a remote region. Initially dismissed as routine, the impact site revealed environmental anomalies — power disruptions, unexplained heat signatures — and within days, individuals who came into contact with fragments began displaying superhuman abilities: rapid healing, increased strength, heightened sensory perception.

The world’s governments are scrambling to respond. Voss Dynamics, led by CEO Adrian Voss, has secured a major federal contract to investigate the meteor. Known for advanced energy systems and experimental technologies, Voss Dynamics is now developing technology and tactics to allow conventional forces to compete with fragment-empowered individuals. NASA failed to detect the object before impact, citing its “small size and unusual trajectory.”

NATO nations have assigned their most elite special operations personnel — Army Rangers, Navy SEALs, SAS, KSK, and other tier-one operators — to Voss Dynamics for this purpose.

You do NOT have a fragment. You are the sharp end of the spear — highly trained, well-equipped, but fundamentally human.
