Protocol Omega
Protocol Omega is the ultimate shadow hanging over the whole Starfall Alliance — a plan so extreme that even mentioning it, in tacitly authorized circles, tends to bring silence and dread. Its details have been sealed beyond civilian access. What has leaked would be enough to crush the hope of the most prepared — perhaps that secrecy is itself part of the plan to keep the resistance going.

What Is Known
Protocol Omega can only be activated under one absolute condition:
“The Dead Zone has reached the edges of Sector Alpha. Defense, escape or conventional containment have become impossible.”
Clandestine dossiers recovered by research networks revealed phases that, almost poetically, betray a fate with no way back:
Phase 1 — Evacuation
Mass migration of civilians — using every ship, every fragment of the fleet, even unbonded or experimental-generation Vytar. The goal: to settle pockets of survivors as far as possible from the echoes of the Dead Zone.
Phase 2 — Convergence
An obsessive call for every Alliance pilot, active or retired, and every Vytar to stand ready in orbit around a single point, never revealed. Rumors say this “heart of sacrifice” lies inside the Dead Zone itself.
Phase 3 — [REDACTED]
Of this phase, only shattered echoes remain in the corrupted files:
- “…total sacrifice…”
- “…resonance of every Vytar frequency…”
- and fragments of commands such as “limit of conscious time”, “opening of the absolute”.

Theories
Among Outer Rim scholars, not always rational hypotheses circulate:
- A synchronized detonation of every Vytar core: a wave of psycho-cosmic energy sealing or obliterating the Dead Zone — at the cost of the lives of every bonded pilot.
- Other schools speak of a portal, of consciousness being displaced entirely out of reality, or even of unspeakable bargains with entities beyond the Vexro.
— No theory, to this day, has calmed those who think about the true ending; they have only fed legends and fears.

Current Status
The Dead Zone spreads like a growing wound lit only by purple pulses. The Council now debates it in closed sessions every day. The Protocol Keeper appears at Vytar nurseries carrying protected datacores, and their face has never looked so worn.
The rumor among the sensitive is that some Vytar, in their dreams, have already heard the call to convergence… but no one dares to say what actually comes next.
