Dystopian Wars: Enlightened Starter Set [2026]

The architects of the Dystopian Age, the Covenant of the Enlightened wield their formidable intellects to sweep aside those ignorant or deluded who stand in the way of Scientific Progress. These masters of technology covet knowledge above all things and believe that it is only they who can steer humanity on a path to enlightenment. With their wondrous war-engines, the Covenant of the Enlightened take every opportunity to demonstrate their technological supremacy. The discoveries that were intended to herald a new era for humanity are instead used to punish those who would misuse them. Only when the Covenant are lauded as the rightful leaders of the Earth in this new Dystopian Age can the world be brought into a new dawn of achievement and prosperity.

This Starter Set allows Admirals to easily begin or expand their naval forces and to further the scientific advances of the Dystopian Age. Lovelace Cruisers are built in large numbers in every Promethean Complex of the Covenant and form the backbone of any Enlightened fleet. The Copernicus Heavy Cruiser, meanwhile, mounts devastatingly powerful, but unpredictable, experimental weaponry, capable of obliterating enemy agressors with a concerted blast. The Chatelet Drone Cruiser allows Admirals to launch screaming squadrons of Scythe Fighters in support of the fleet, whilst retaining enough firepower of its own to still earn a place in the battleline.  The Agora Command Cruiser is a stabilising presence that brings order and control to the illogic of battle, its onboard scientific equipment and technicians manipulating local spacetime to devastating effect. Merian frigates are ideal for scouting ahead, hunting as a pack, or for accompanying larger ships adding to their firepower. In the skies above, Endymion Dyad Rotors range ahead, providing accurate targeting data to allies whilst unleashing a withering hail of fire on enemies below. 

Dystopian Wars is a naval tabletop wargame that uses highly detailed miniatures to represent huge engines of destruction on, above, and below the high seas. Set in the Dystopian Age, an alternate late-nineteenth century of our own world, the Great Powers of the globe use super-science and alien engineering as they clash over resources and power. Battleships and cruisers sail the surface of the sea while sky fortresses and dirigibles soar in the sky above. Submarines lurk beneath the waves alongside squid automata and colossal mechanical knights. Fighters and bombers circle, waiting to dive upon their prey. All of this combines for an intense, tactical experience.
