2026 Dispatch Archive: January – October Review
Q1: The Void, The Sector, and Foundational Mechanics (January – March)
Launch of the Leo Galaxy Sector Campaign: Deployed the deep-space framework powered by the Trinity Engine, introducing navigational grids, crystal drive mechanics, and starfaring hazard tables.
