Year 3502 in the Cosmopolitan Cosmos.
The Parisian Empire is on the cutting edge of warfare, colonization, sciences, but especially fashion. All of these combined into apex couture, embodied within a single person: Svalbarda Whishbis.
The Fashion Psionics Division or FPD had decanted her for purposes of predicting the course of both fashion trends and war stratagems. Nextical Awareness became the entire focus of the division. Many prototypes had failed, but each drew closer to the total success that was Svalbarda Whishbis.
Her successful predictions during the Spitsbergen offensive lead not only to total capitulation of the entrenched forces, but also to a runway walk off with the rebel commander that was the talk of the surrounding galaxies. Glacis inspired epaulettes became an absolute must wear for the next fashion season.
