The Anchorage
also: the Anchored
A network-opposed movement that traverses in order to disrupt traversal.
In full
A political and operational movement that holds research at parity with the Brief on the documented harm of the Seam. They steal institutional tech, run a clandestine patchwork-hull fleet, and still cross the Seam — to stop others crossing it. The mainline holds the 2127 Bergen Charter absolutely: act against hardware, never against persons. Splinter cells reject that patience, and the mainline disowns them. Priya Okafor's six novels are their literary canon; they call the Wound the Drag, or the Cost.
