Description
Few ships adorn the jutting piers of Tasagar. The old station built to guard the outermost bounds of Urengol has been left nearly deserted in the wake of the latest expansion. Supply convoys, colony- and surveying ships have passed it by, the patrols of the Last Commonwealth launch from outposts further toward the frontier. What remains is a staunch garrison, soldiers and pilots determined to prove their worth, so that they may join the general advance.
The squadron leaders stationed at Tasagar are certainly not short on ambition. Watching the shift in strategic importance and prestige unfold, some made sure early on to be assigned posts on the next fortress on the frontline. Others were more patient, seeing an opportunity to shine now that the focus of High Command has moved on. As the complement of fighters and officers in charge of defending Tasagar station is cut down, every individual takes greater responsibility. The chances for a commendation are increased among the ever-smaller group of remaining troops, where a more tightly-knit network of contacts is formed.
While the Last Commonwealth Cosmo Forces place great importance on the chain of command and its strict hierarchy, there is an unwritten codex of brotherhood and comradery among the soldiers, leftover from the age of resistance against the Confluence Tyranny on Terra. The building of contacts and good connections is lauded just as much as a skill of good aspiring officers as any fighting capability. As a result, a good word spoken on a distant outpost just like Tasagar may weigh more heavily than years of dedicated but unremarkable service much closer to home.
