On an occupied orbital station near Hadrast, a sabotage team moves through a docking spine to cripple a dreadnought’s lance and break its control network. Exosuit troops begin collapsing inside intact armor as the system turns against its own operators during the disruption.

The infiltration tightens as security reacts, forcing movement deeper into the carrier while the operational window closes. Surveillance, heavy patrols, and unstable systems turn every corridor into a risk as the network begins to correct itself. What starts as a controlled sabotage shifts when the weapon fires anyway...
