Diplomatic Chamber and Holding Cell

Aldea First Unit Chamber

The Aldea First Unit Chamber stands as a stark, austere enclave within the enigmatic planet Aldea. White walls stretch bare except for ancient tapestries that whisper forgotten histories under cold lighting. This confined, spartan room throbs with tense negotiation and fragile power, hosting solemn receptions where Aldean leaders confront Federation officers with desperate ultimatums. It doubles as the grim holding cell for abducted children, where uneasy hospitality masks a culture on the brink of extinction. The chamber’s oppressive atmosphere tightens with every confrontation—echoing whispered betrayals, fragile leadership struggles, and the crushing weight of survival against time. Every shadowed corner reflects the planet’s fading hope and the fraught dance of diplomacy and defiance that unfolds within.
