- 147th Rapid Reaction Force: Join the fight!
- The Deep. It began with a transmission. A sudden, constant signal broadcast throughout space, to every planet, to every corner it could possibly reach. In its early days, no one heard it; it did not wander from signal to signal, nor did it reach to ones pre-existing. Then the signal-surfers found it, and it was shared as the curious wonder that it was. It gained many names, but the almost urban legend never shared a common one until the line itself declared a title. The NovaLine. What it was, or what its supposed purpose was, simply evaded those who tuned in. Dare you seek out the origin of the NovaLine?

- Redfall: the successor to the The Song of Whitemeadow plot with several tie-ins. Redfall happens approximately twenty years after the conclusion of Whitemeadow. Redfall follows the crew of the titular ship, the KPS Redfall, a civilian merchant vessel involved with the Wings of Heled, a shipping, postal, and occasional salvage company operating out of Kowloon.
