Urgent Bulletin — Unidentified 1:72 Aircraft

Operatives are advised that the aircraft catalogued as MFN-072-019 ("Nightjar") remains unaccounted for despite three recovery attempts. Sightings continue to be reported from the Compressed Air Dimension. Any operative encountering markings resembling the Broken Compass insignia near a 1:72 build should file a report immediately through Transmissions and should not attempt an independent recovery.

Welcome, Cleared Operative

Dimensional Recovery & Cataloguing Archive — for operatives cleared to Tier One access.

If you are reading this page, your clearance has been processed and your terminal access has been granted. The Miniature Frontier Network exists to recover, document and safely study miniature vehicles, aircraft and vessels that arrive in our world bearing no explainable origin. You are one of a small number of operatives trusted with this archive. Read carefully, and report anything unusual through the Transmissions desk.

What the Network Does

Every scale of model — 1:12 down to 1:700 and beyond — corresponds to a dimensional sector. We hold that these are not simply hobbyist conventions but genuine boundaries between worlds, and that an unusual number of kits, part-built models and unidentified small machines recovered by operatives over the past two years did not originate on any production line we can trace. The Network's task is to recover these artefacts, classify them by sector, and record what we can before the trail goes cold. Full detail on how the archive works is kept on the About the Network page.
