  BlastVector Website

  Created by HELM Coders LLC on 2026-10-27 (Central).
  Purpose: The single stylesheet for BlastVector.com. A cinematic, tactical franchise look: hard edges, HUD frames,
           faction colour coding (Thaevrek red, Aurelian Synod cyan, native magenta) and the Terran Intelligence
           Assessment terminal styling for Universe pages. No external fonts or frameworks.
  Change log:
   2026-10-27 — Website Pass 003: full visual redesign (franchise home, campaign route, threat board, recognition
                tiles, faction terminals, Intel terminal dossier); tighter vertical rhythm; no rounded "card" look.
   2026-10-27 — Website Pass 004A: universe record and Chronicles components (records lists, article blocks, transmission
                log, chapter navigation) and the Universe hub's campaign crosslink.
   2026-10-27 — Website Pass 004B: Chronicles reader — volume landing, cinematic chapter pages (full-bleed scene slots
                with atmospheric fades, serif long-form typography, drop cap, system readouts, inscriptions), reading
                progress, chapter navigation, scene palettes, review-build ribbon and stand-in treatment.
