Collegia Titanica: From Vengeance to Industry

The Fall of Virgil scarred humanity. Among those bearing the deepest wounds were the survivors, many of them children, who coalesced into the group known as the Vengeful Children of Cyrene. Driven by righteous fury, they initially sought only retribution against the Vanduul. Their early years were marked by fierce, often reckless strikes, fueled by grief and a burning need for vengeance. They earned a reputation for tenacity and ruthlessness, becoming a thorn in the side of Vanduul raiding parties.

However, the harsh realities of interstellar warfare soon became apparent. Revenge alone could not sustain them. Their ragtag fleet, cobbled together from salvaged ships and stolen supplies, was constantly on the brink of collapse. They learned a brutal lesson: vengeance required resources, and resources required a stable foundation.

A schism began to form within the Vengeful Children. While some remained committed to direct military action, a growing faction, led by a pragmatic strategist named Anya Volkov, argued for a new path. Volkov, a former engineer from Virgil, understood that long-term survival against the Vanduul required more than just anger. It demanded logistics, manufacturing, and a robust economy to support their military endeavors. She envisioned a future where the Children controlled their own destiny, not through desperate raids, but through self-sufficiency.

Volkov’s vision resonated with many, particularly those who had witnessed the devastating impact of resource shortages during the Fall of Virgil. They had seen firsthand how a lack of essential supplies could cripple even the most determined resistance. This group, believing that true vengeance lay in securing humanity’s future, broke away from the more militant faction and formed Collegia Titanica.

Collegia Titanica, named after the indomitable spirit of the Titans of myth, shifted its focus from direct confrontation to industrial development. They established hidden shipyards and mining operations, leveraging the skills and knowledge of their members. They became masters of salvage and reverse engineering, turning captured Vanduul technology into their own. Their initial focus was on supplying their own needs, building up a stockpile of ships, weapons, and essential resources.

However, Collegia Titanica was not simply a manufacturing conglomerate. They understood that their industrial strength was inextricably linked to their military might. They developed advanced defensive technologies, shielding their hidden bases and protecting their vital supply lines. Their military wing, while smaller than the original Vengeful Children, was highly trained and equipped with the best technology Collegia Titanica could produce. They specialized in defensive warfare, protecting their assets and ensuring the uninterrupted flow of resources.

Over time, Collegia Titanica grew into a powerful force in the shadows. They became a vital, if often unseen, supplier to other anti-Vanduul groups, providing them with the resources they desperately needed. While they rarely engaged in large-scale offensives, their influence was undeniable. They became the silent backbone of the resistance, a testament to the fact that true vengeance could be forged not only in the fires of battle, but also in the forges of industry. Their history is a reminder that survival in the face of overwhelming odds requires not just courage and anger, but also foresight, strategy, and the will to build.
