Persistent galactic war
Kessler Line is an open-world military sci-fi shooter. Two factions fight for the same territory, the front line never resets, and a biomechanical threat called The Rift attacks whoever is weakest.
In development. Background: in-engine capture from a development build (Colony Outpost (prototype map): Infantry advancing on the colony road, Rift drones and creatures ahead).

Field manual
One war, every scale
- Playable prototype
Infantry first
Grounded first-person combat: stamina-based movement, aim-down-sights, range falloff and armor. Downed players can be revived by their squad. Server-authoritative hits with lag compensation.
- In development
Combined arms
Light rovers, armored carriers and VTOL dropships with crew seats, armor zones and damage models. Tactical support abilities give squads logistics, recon and fire support.
- In development
Modular spacecraft
Ships assembled from modules and saved as blueprints, validated by the server that spawns them. Orbital hubs like Aegis Station connect the surface war to space.
- In development
Persistent territory
No match resets. Facilities, regions and supply lines stay captured until someone takes them back. Every region runs on a dedicated server; the backend keeps the war state.
Choose a side
Two factions. One enemy of both.
Your faction is tied to your account. Your character, rank and territory gains count for that side.
