Don't annoy the Yachtya
The Yachtya have been watching the galaxy for a very long time.
It’s probably best to know when they start paying attention.
Follow The Pioneers Saga for new releases, story updates, classified lore, and glimpses of what’s coming next.
Supreme Commander Marcus Roberson
Soldier. Commander. Pioneer.
Roberson led Pioneer One across the stars and into a humanity no one aboard expected to find. His actions reshaped the balance of power—and drew him ever closer to a prophecy he desperately wanted no part of.
His legacy reaches far beyond the crew he brought safely to Alpha Centauri.
STATUS: CLASSIFIED
High Commander Danielle Hatch
Strategist. Leader. Reluctant keeper of the pieces.
Promoted to High Commander after the death of Marcus Roberson, Hatch finds herself carrying responsibilities she never asked for—and holding together an Alliance threatening to pull itself apart.
She brings the same sharp mind, stubborn resolve, and ever-present glasses—always seemingly determined to escape—to a galaxy growing more complicated by the day.
STATUS: ACTIVE
Admiral Lorel Vance
Admiral. Stateswoman. Steady hand.
Lorel Vance has spent her career balancing military necessity against the fragile politics of the Empire. As old enemies move and new threats emerge, that balance has never been more precarious.
Measured when others rush and pragmatic when certainty is impossible, Vance remains one of the Empire's most trusted voices as the galaxy begins to shift beneath it.
STATUS: ACTIVE
Elliot Draven
Observer. Survivor. Something else entirely.
Elliot Draven awakened aboard Pioneer One appearing to be what he had always claimed: a wealthy civilian who had fled Earth's final war alongside everyone else.
He wasn't.
Draven was Yachtya—though not quite like the others. Whatever his purpose among the pioneers, his years living as one of them left the line between observer and participant increasingly difficult to define.
He died in the analysis bay when the truth finally caught up with him.
STATUS: DECEASED
Prime Minister Albert McNeil
Statesman. Pragmatist. A man running out of easy answers.
Albert McNeil has governed through crisis, compromise, and the accumulated weight of a very long memory. He remains an anchor of political gravity within the Empire, valuing stability and hard-earned consensus even as both become increasingly difficult to preserve.
By Fracture, the strain is beginning to show. The galaxy is moving faster, old certainties are failing, and every decision seems to demand a little more from the man expected to hold it all together.
McNeil endures. But even anchors wear down.
