Callsign: Phoenix

Mason Satrev grows up in the foster system with fragmented memories of his past. Haunted by trauma and dreams of fire, his early years are marked by isolation, except for a mysterious girl named Olivia Compostal, a fellow child in therapy with whom he shared a powerful bond. After losing touch with her, Mason drifts through life, eventually reuniting with Olivia during high school on Skrylimpo-7, sparking dormant memories and emotional recovery.

Now older and seeking purpose, Mason joins the Corvenian Military Space Corps (CMSC) Academy on the planet Corven. He's paired with Simon Petrogev, a tactical-minded yet sarcastic cadet with a harsh upbringing in a militarized research colony. Together, they begin orientation, learning the CMSC is a meritocratic, high-pressure institution where only the most capable cadets advance.

Mason is determined to forge his path, not through privilege or luck, but by enduring and excelling. With the academy grading trials looming, Mason and Simon steel themselves for the battle ahead, knowing that survival in the CMSC isn't just about making it through training-it's about becoming something more.

Beneath this military coming-of-age story lies a deeper mystery: ancient temples, powerful god-like phoenixes, and a galaxy on the brink of something darker. As Mason trains to become a soldier, forgotten truths from his past begin to stir.
