Background
In the near present, the state of Kastovia stands as one of the countries that never truly stabilized after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Caught between Western influence, internal nationalism, and competing regional power interests from the east, Kastovia has spent decades in political limbo. Corruption, weak institutions, and recurring unrest have defined the state, particularly in former industrial regions left to decay.
One such area is the Zorya Complex — formerly a dense industrial complex that, a decade earlier, became the epicentre of a short but violent episode of urban warfare. When the fighting ended, the complex was officially evacuated and declared uninhabitable. It became a gray zone: too abandoned to police, too strategically valuable to ignore.
In recent years, Kastovia’s central government has steadily lost control over large parts of the country. Security forces are fragmented, loyalties uncertain, and the state’s monopoly on violence exists largely on paper. In this vacuum, paramilitary formations, private military contractors, and local militias have flourished — some driven by ideology, others by profit.
Against this backdrop, an unknown intelligence service have established an unofficial facility within the Zorya Complex. Officially, it does not exist. The site serves as a temporary hub for signals intelligence, meetings with local assets, and monitoring of regional actors. Security is provided by a small but highly capable unit, reinforced by contract personnel and vetted local assets.
The facility was never intended to be permanent.
It was never intended to be defended.
When Kastovia’s already fragile central authority abruptly collapses following a failed political settlement in the capital, the situation deteriorates within hours. Communication infrastructure fails. Roads and airports are blocked. Armed groups begin moving freely through the area around the Zorya complex — some with clear objectives, others acting opportunistically.
Local assets go silent or disappear. Intelligence reports suggest multiple militias have become aware that “something of value” is in the area. Who knows exactly what the site is — or who merely believes they do — is unclear. It is enough.
An evacuation order is issued, then delayed. Airspace is contested. Support forces are tied down elsewhere. The small unit on site receives no clear directives, only fragments of situational awareness and an implicit message:
You are on your own — for now.
The threat is no longer limited to the facility itself. Nearby communication nodes must be secured simply to maintain any external contact. Local assets risk capture or execution. Hostile elements mass in the surrounding forest, moving through factory ruins, ruined structures, and underground access routes.
This is not a fortress defense.
It is a fight for freedom of action.
Survival depends on repeatedly leaving the relative safety of the site. Missions must be conducted outside the perimeter: extractions, reconnaissance patrols, quick strikes against enemy gathering points, and the establishment of improvised fallback positions. Every movement carries risk. Every return is uncertain.
The enemy is numerically superior, fragmented yet adaptive. There are no front lines. Engagements are sudden, close, and resolved brutally — or not at all. Ammunition, medical supplies, and endurance are finite resources.
As night falls over the Zorya complex, it becomes clear that this is not about holding ground or seizing terrain. It is about keeping the force intact long enough for an evacuation window to open.
If it does.
