STORY DEVELOPMENT ARCHIVE
SQUADRON¶
Book One · a character-driven space military science-fiction novel
Protected Story Principle
A squadron is not defined by the ships flying in formation. It is defined by who chooses to come back for the others.
Current Development Phase¶
FOUNDATION v0.2 — DECISION PASS
We are building the working environment for the novel: locking architecture, migrating established canon, marking unresolved material honestly, and standing up a readable reference. The prose of Book One is not being written yet.

The Active Counter¶
The squadron is tracked by who is still flying. The count is not a statistic — it learns to carry weight.
SQUADRON // 4 ACTIVE → loss → 3 ACTIVE → return → 4 ACTIVE → 5 ACTIVE
How this archive works¶
Every significant story fact carries a canon status. Nothing here becomes true by accident.
CANON accepted and authoritative PROVISIONAL current preferred direction, still changeable OPEN intentionally undecided REJECTED considered and abandoned
Start with the Foundation to understand what the book is, or jump to the Canon Ledger for the fast index of what is currently true. The Decisions log records why each architectural choice was made, and Open Questions lists what we have deliberately left undecided.
Finding things
Use the search box (top right) to search every page. The Master Timeline gives the chronological view; the Characters index is the fast cast reference.
