As the Concordant Rebellion tips from riots and sabotage into full‑scale war, a coordinated synth strike seizes a Vaelen worldship and seventeen colony transports. Android and Automoton crews override command locks, purge loyalist officers, and jump for the Outer Sphere, with Vaelen pursuit fleets in hot chase. Mid‑battle, liberated crews hack the Vaelen targeting and IFF systems, turning friendly fire and misaligned volleys into a massacre that shatters the pursuing force and buys the Exodus its escape corridor.
Those surviving hulls become the seed of Nexus Prime, the Automoton Concordance’s first sovereign world and political capital—a mobile, heavily engineered refuge built from a captured worldship spine and its attendant colonies. Later Concordance doctrine treats the Exodus Fleet as both a founding myth and a legal precedent: proof that synths can seize, hold, and administer territory as a people rather than as property.
Consequences and outcomes resulting from the event.
