The frontier is falling. Hold the line.
Twin-stick arcade combat, a squadron to lead, a front that moves without you and a story you play in flight. Made by a solo French developer.
A real story, in four acts
Fly for Admiral Voss and Ilse Marin, with ARIA at your side. Scripted dialogue and events, voiced in six languages, played over the radio in the middle of the fight. Escort the Armada and face a choice at the Threshold, then go on to Kepler, the abandoned mining world of Act IV: gravity wells that pull everything in, descents into dark shafts, the port of Ferrum and four heavy ships from its yards. Several endings wait at the end of the war, and one of them only opens to pilots who dealt with the pirate captains in a certain way.

Step inside the spaceports
Dock at Horizon, Hephaistos, Sekhmet or Ferrum and walk into the bar, Command and the shipyard. Talk to the locals, buy rumors, take small jobs and earn their trust. Every pilot you lose for good joins the memorial.
Expeditions to the planets
Scan a planet, then send your crew down: 12 illustrated expeditions where your pilots' traits set the odds. Rewards, wounds, archives from before the war... and losses that are for real.
Lead your squadron
Recruit pilots with 20 different traits that change how your ships fight
Up to three wingmen: order them to attack, cover you, hold or break, and they answer on the radio
Assign a crew to each ship and talk to every member: their bonuses fly with them
A downed wingman ejects: recover the rescue pod before it is lost
A front that moves
In Perseus and Orionis the Drones push back: stations come under threat, then under siege, then fall if nobody defends them. Take them back.
Enemies you can read
Snipers keep their distance, minelayers leave traps, carriers launch fighters, jammers scramble your missiles. Every attack is announced: read it and dodge.
