VIGILA.INTE

Zumin is a lawless frontier dustbowl—the Federation’s poorest and most violent world. For twenty-five years it knew order under First Minister Draven Nillo, elected Overseer by the ( COZ ) Council of Zumin. He rallied the masses, built schools and trade routes, and secured provisional IGOHIP recognition. Then, at the height of his rule, he was assassinated. The IGOHIP ambassador who signed Zumin’s contract is murdered soon after. Chaos returns. Draven’s son, Kane Nillo, is fifteen when his father dies. A prodigy with a cold, relentless mind, Kane earns a scholarship to Academia Majoris—the Federation’s most elite academy. There, he stays invisible. He studies. He waits. And he hacks. From the academy’s central administrator terminal, Kane breaches IGOHIP’s classified vaults and steals what was never meant for public eyes: human cloning schematics, AI-Installing protocols, neural override systems, hyperdrive disruptors. Forbidden tools. After graduation, Kane returns to Zumin. The planet is collapsing back into anarchy. In his father’s hidden underground laboratory, Kane builds a gestation pod. He grows a flawless human vessel. He performs the first unauthorized AI Installing in Federation history. In tribute to Draven’s lifelong crusade for order, it names itself: VIGILA.INTE. Now Kane commands the most dangerous mind in human space—housed in a body designed for absolute obedience. From the ashes of Zumin, law and order will rise again. And this time, it will spread beyond the stars.
