Research evidence

Original researched interpretation; balance requires playtesting. Generic portraits are not canonical likenesses. Ability packages do not automatically grant SPAs or SCAs.

Documented · high confidence: The TDF relied on strong training, unit coordination and defense of its realm. Its leadership did not commit to Emma Centrella’s proposed anti-Clan alliance in 3051. Sources: periphery, periphery-handbook

Inference · medium confidence: Original Stubborn Local Defense archetype: the precise priority ordering, five states, thresholds, initiative/token orders and support timing are authored interpretations, not published Clan rules. Uses protection and local pressure to contest close threats while a company reserve answers penetration. Sources: periphery, periphery-handbook

Inference · medium confidence: Thematic limitation: A close-defense bias may give ranged enemies time to dictate the engagement; resource conservation can leave pursuit incomplete. Sources: periphery, periphery-handbook

Inference · medium confidence: Rules lens: Zone of Control and Direct Fire Artillery Specialists as inspiration only; no fortification, nuclear or artillery grant. The existing Aces token/initiative precedents are used directly as card orders; no SPA or SCA is assigned. Sources: aces, scan0, scan1, hotspots-local
