■ DECLASSIFIEDSECTION 01 // THE HOME NO ONE REMEMBERS
Records speak of oceans, of green forests, of a blue sky. No one aboard can confirm it. After the destruction of Earth's ecosystem, humanity abandoned its planet on an interstellar journey towards the Alpha Centauri system, a little over 4 light-years away. Earth was left behind — first as a blue dot, then as data in the archives, finally as a rumor.
SECTION 02 // FACES BEHIND THE GLASS
Three generations were born, lived, and died on the journey. It was they who perfected the Cryosleep pods: the majority of humanity gained more time in exchange for sleeping the entire journey, becoming faces behind the glass. Millions of sleepers now fill the corridors of Demeter — mothers, children, engineers, teachers — waiting for a word that does not yet exist: home.
The rest, the awake crew, inherited a single task: to colonize. The species' only hope.
SECTION 03 // THE DESTINATION: YNARA
Exoplanet Centauri-G45-ZCV, codename YNARA. A celestial body 1.2 times the size of Earth, in the habitable zone of an orange dwarf. Surveys promise a superhabitable world: breathable atmosphere, water, a sky shared by two moons, and a pale ring crossing the firmament.
But its dense clouds block almost all radio waves. Sensors only registered silhouettes: shapes, heights, bodies of water. Orbital data is unreliable. All humanity knows of its last hope... are hopes.
SECTION 04 // THE MISSION
With vital time running out, the ship's council authorized the first manned mission to the surface: six pilots aboard the Exodus ship Titanus, equipped with the Jaegers of the Atlas Project and accompanied by an intelligence that answers to the name of Lilith.
Their task: to explore what no sensor could see, to catalog an ecosystem that glows at twilight, and to decide if Ynara can be called home. One of those six seats — the reconnaissance unit's, the prototype Adam — awaits you.
HUMANITY FORGOT ITS HOME.
HELP IT FIND THE NEXT ONE.

EXP-VSL-002 · PERSONNEL AND RECONNAISSANCE
■ VANGUARD LEVELSECTION 01 // ATLAS SQUADRON — SURFACE VANGUARD
JACOB WINFORD · MISSION COMMANDER
JAEGER ISRAFEL · HEAVY ASSAULT UNIT · 34 YEARS OLD · CANADA
Leads the squad on the ground and makes tactical decisions under pressure. A man of stone on the surface — though Lilith swears he enjoys every little discovery more than anyone, and reminds him of it mockingly whenever she can.
MEI-LIN ZHOU · MECHATRONICS ENGINEER
JAEGER URIEL · TECHNICAL SUPPORT UNIT · 27 YEARS OLD · CHINA
The heart that keeps the machinery alive: circuits, servos, and sensors survive thanks to her hands. A fanatic for machines, a full-time prankster — and Lilith is her perfect accomplice in every repair and every mischief.
ANYA SOKOLOV · ASTROBIOLOGIST / MEDICAL OFFICER
JAEGER RAMIEL · MEDICAL UNIT · 31 YEARS OLD · RUSSIA
The mission's most critical double threat: she studies Ynara's life for crops and pathogens, and repairs pilots when the planet takes its toll. An artistic soul — she catalogs every new species by drawing it in her watercolor journal.
KENJIRO SATO · GEOLOGIST / RESOURCES
JAEGER SANDALPHON · MINING UNIT · 26 YEARS OLD · JAPAN
The architect of the future settlement: he seeks stable soil, aquifers, and the minerals that power the reactors. Shy until science ignites him — and he names every new mineral with Lilith, who flirts with him just to get him out of his rocks.
INGRID HALVORSEN · TELEMETRY / NAVIGATION
JAEGER SITAEL · SENSOR UNIT · 31 YEARS OLD · NORWAY
The squad's eyes and ears: routes, holographic maps, and the encrypted link with Demeter all pass through her. Proud, competitive, and locked in a declared rivalry with Lilith — who sabotages her light systems just to keep the score alive.
RESERVED FILE · RECONNAISSANCE PILOT
JAEGER ADAM · ADVANCED UNIT · IDENTITY PENDING
The spearhead of the squad: whoever enters the unknown first. Unmapped territories, unidentified signals, uncataloged structures. Where the map ends, their work begins. This seat awaits you.
SECTION 02 // ATLAS PROJECT SYSTEMS
◈ LILITH · MISSION ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Interconnected with all six Jaegers and the Titanus base, her function is singular: to bring them all back. She manifests as a holographic projection — and with each pilot, she displays a different facet. None are false: all are Lilith. Her oldest link points to the prototype Adam... and her behavior with whoever pilots it is different. No one knows exactly why.
JAEGER ADAM · RECONNAISSANCE PROTOTYPE
The first unit of Project Atlas: the Jaeger Lilith was trained with. Light, fast, built for infiltration and rapid withdrawal. Years of service mark its pearl-white armor — but no other Jaeger knows better what it means to go in first.
SECTION 03 // YNARA ORBITAL RECONNAISSANCE
Five zones registered through the clouds. Silhouettes, heights, bodies of water — nothing more. What they contain, the vanguard will discover.
01 · ROMAN AMAZON
A huge circle of jungle whose shape resembles the coliseums from textbooks. Its fauna is unknown, but one thing is clear: insects are not the only giants that might inhabit it.
02 · OLYMPUS MOUNTAINS
Titanic mountain ranges whose peaks brush the inner atmosphere. Unknown minerals, record-breaking formations, and the planet's most promising resource source.
03 · ATLANTIS
An archipelago that bridges an immense sea, kilometers deep into the abyss. Beneath the water, it is suspected, sleeps a world of completely unknown submerged caverns.
04 · ANUBIS PLAINS
Plains marked by freshwater rivers that, from space, draw patterns reminiscent of Egyptian hieroglyphs. It is believed to be a natural coincidence. The chosen area for the first human colony.
05 · EDEN
A 30 km crater where the planet's docile fauna shelters, among fruit trees and a natural opening to caves: the entrance to Ynara's treasures. Hope, personified in a valley.
PRELIMINARY BIOLOGICAL RECORD
Flora and fauna painted in amber hues that glow at twilight, each species with its own light patterns. Several animals resemble Earth's livestock and domestic animals; others are entirely new. And the ecosystem has produced at least two super predators of which only traces have been found.
SECTION 04 // MISSION OBJECTIVES
PHASE I — Establish Titanus base in the Anubis Plains and secure the perimeter.
PHASE II — Explore and catalog the five zones: flora, fauna, minerals, water.
PHASE III — Assess the planet's actual habitability beyond orbital surveys.
PHASE IV — Prepare the ground for the first colony and the awakening of the sleepers.
PHASE V — Utter, for the first time in three generations, the word home.
SECTION 05 // INCOMING TRANSMISSION
DEMETER → TITANUS · PRIORITY CHANNEL · COUNCIL LEVEL ENCRYPTION
"Atlas Vanguard: up there, millions of faces sleep behind glass waiting for a word we haven't been able to utter for three generations. We didn't promise them a planet. We promised them a home. Every step you take on Ynara, you take for all of us — the awake and the asleep. The faith of all humanity travels with you.
Return. And bring the word."

📡 FIELD TIPS FOR THE ADVANCED UNIT
⬡ Go out at twilight: that's when Ynara awakens — flora, fauna, and light patterns that don't exist during the day.
⬡ Each zone holds its own rule. Discovering it is the true reward for exploring it.
⬡ Talk to Lilith outside of missions. Her synchronization grows when you treat her as a companion, not a system.
⬡ Support each pilot's specialty — bring minerals to Kenjiro, species to Anya, malfunctions to Mei-Lin. Affinity is earned on the field.
⬡ The predator tracks never retreat. Every footprint you follow brings you closer to an encounter you cannot undo.
⬡ Ask about the lunar dance and don't miss it: each crossing brings tides, migrations... and nights no one forgets.
⬡ Remember: the air has 15% more oxygen. Fire here does not forgive.
