Defeating the Word of Blake as a territorial power did not mean finding every Blakist soldier, archive, laboratory, or refuge. This episode follows the post-Jihad hunt for survivors and the secret locations collectively associated with ComStar’s Hidden Worlds, especially the Five. These sites had begun as fallback positions and evolved into specialized centers for WarShip work, cybernetics, advanced research, archives, training, or refuge. Their secrecy depended on altered star charts, compartmentalized jump information, false identities, and records designed to erase the route behind travelers. Investigators combined military raids, captured files, intelligence interviews, technical forensics, and private exploration to identify places such as Gabriel, Jardine, Mayadi, Taussen, and Obeedah. Some proved destroyed or long dead; others remained uncertain. The search also revealed a harder truth: Blakist ideology survived in cells, communities, and later revival movements even after the original state disappeared. Military victory ended an empire, not every secret it had created. Visit ImaginedBattlefield.com for more military and science fiction.
