The Bastion Games
A Grand Tournament of Nations. Where Strength Honors Unity.
An official call for competitors, issued by the Diarchy [ event will begin on may 15th]
ABOUT THE GAMES:
The Bastion Games are a ceremonial military tournament designed in the spirit of ancient galactic traditions—where war is suspended, and strength is celebrated through competition. Hosted on the fortress world of Bastion, these games offer a rare opportunity for the galaxy's factions to showcase their warriors, doctrines, and unity in an arena of structured, non-lethal trials.
Factions across the stars whether allies, rivals, or neutral powers are invited to field their finest personnel. These include elite infantry, starfighter squadrons, commanders, and specialists, each competing in events that reflect the full spectrum of modern warfare: endurance, precision, leadership, and coordination. From urban combat to fleet maneuvers, every challenge is a testament to discipline and design.
The Games do not reward chaos or brute strength alone. Instead, Victory Points are awarded based on performance, cohesion, and ingenuity. Every event contributes to the total faction score, with additional recognition for exceptional tactics or sportsmanship. At the closing ceremony, the faction with the highest cumulative total will be honored as the Victor of the Bastion Games a symbol of supremacy not through domination, but through excellence.
These games are not just a competition they are a spectacle of culture, strategy, and honor. They are a proving ground for the leaders of tomorrow, and a celebration of what disciplined militaries can achieve together without the bloodshed of war.
