WORLDS AT WAR
12 independent lorecasts connected by a shared military problem
A browsing collection of standalone lorecasts centered on invasion, occupation, resistance, civil war, apocalypse, and planetary survival.
How this collection works
A DISCOVERY MAP OF INDEPENDENT LORECASTS.
Worlds at War organizes twelve independent lorecasts around conflicts fought for control or survival on a world: invasions, occupations, insurgencies, civil wars, institutional collapse, and reconstruction.
Shared historical lens
THE MILITARY PROBLEMS THAT CONNECT THIS COLLECTION.
Individual lorecasts remain independent, but these recurring questions make the settings useful to explore together.
Occupation
Control, collaboration, coercion, resource extraction, security forces, and the politics of ruling hostile populations.
Resistance
Insurgency, underground networks, sabotage, intelligence, sanctuary, morale, and the survival of organized opposition.
Civil and Factional War
Competing governments, warlords, ideological movements, fractured militaries, and violence within divided societies.
Apocalyptic Warfare
Biological catastrophe, machines, alien threats, social collapse, and campaigns fought after normal institutions fail.
Planetary Survival
Fortification, logistics, population protection, resource scarcity, reconstruction, and the meaning of victory when extinction is possible.
