Bastion Of Voltaris (Ion Veil)

By Christopher Thabani Mandawa

Captain Aria Dray was forged in war. A decorated officer from the Helion Front, she served during the Siege of Kallix-9, where entire cities were reduced to ash by kinetic rail strikes. To protect her unit, she volunteered for Project Aegis-a classified military program fo-cused on energy manipulation.

The result was Ion Veil, a living bulwark encased in an electromagnetic latticework. Her body now generates powerful energy barriers capable of absorbing, redirecting, or nullifying kinetic force-from bullets and shrapnel to tank shells and orbital drops.

She can project domes around entire squads, launch repelled force as concussive blasts, or create moving shields in the heat of combat. Aria is the team's anchor-disciplined, grounded, and fiercely protective. But her ability is tethered to focus and clarity. Distraction, emotional disruption, or psychic interference weakens her shields, sometimes fatally. Years of battlefield trauma have left scars beneath her controlled exterior, and maintaining emotional balance has become a daily battle.

Still, she fights not for glory, but for those who stand behind her. Ion Veil is a fortress with a hu-man heart-a commander who bears the brunt of war so others don't have to. And as long as she stands, the line does not break.
