They want decisive victories. ASN can give them the killing blow they desire."[^1] - Arkangel Leadership "In a world so often mired in darkness, Arkangel shines ever brighter."[^1] - Arkangel Leadership <br> ### Description The Ascension Satellite Network (ASN) was a 2048 military initiative launched by [[Arkangel|Arkangel Corporation]] and marked the first significant effort since [[Codex/Key Events/The Blackout|the Blackout]] to reestablish a global satellite network. Deployed by Arkangel's elite unit of [[Arkangel Legion|Legionnaires]], this real-time tactical data acquisition system was designed to give fighting forces strategic advantage on the battlefield. ASN worked via accessing troop telemetry sensors and harvesting crucial battle information, which in turn offered combatants access to greater firepower. Ahead of its global rollout, initial tests were conducted in Czechia during the [[Battle of Zlín]] and proved successful.
