// ABOUT SPLIT-S

Pick a route, stake your operating funds, and launch. Short missions weave SIDE, QUAD, and MOON into one campaign run. Complete the job and make it home to prepare for the next hop. Reach the vault before you go broke.

THREE WAYS TO FLY: Bank and loop in SIDE. Fly a quad over isometric server complexes in QUAD. Drift across crater fields and aim independently in MOON. Each mode has its own flight physics.
A DESKTOP BETWEEN RAIDS: Plan routes, dial into the board, and spend earned tokens on hardware. A run can end in bankruptcy. Purchased hardware stays with you.
A NETWORK IN PURSUIT: The Swarm is tracing you. Optional uplinks, jammers, and interceptions shape the trip to the vault.
