• Receiver: Aim Assist baselines (Magnetism / Stickiness / Rotation / Strafing) + Fire Mode + cadence unit; also the art subclass body on the Class Frame.
• Frame archetype: cadence number, recoil pattern, Impact / Mag / Range band bias (data only — same Class Frame look).
• Class: Frame chassis look (one mesh per Class).
• Parts: never rewrite AA or cadence.
• Sniper Optics: long-range Optics do not rewrite AA (ADS / zoom / initial accuracy only).
• Band enum (Year-1): Low · Mid · Mid-High · High · Very High.
• Float maps: TBD-AA-FLOAT / TBD-IMR-FLOAT.

• Class = Spine: one core chassis per Class; everything attaches to the Spine.
• Frame archetype = data only: Adaptive, Aggressive, Precision, Rapid-Fire, Lightweight, High-Impact, specialties (cadence · Impact / Mag / Range · gunfeel). Does not change Spine art.
• Receiver = subclass body: one mesh per Type; seats onto Class Spine before Barrel.
• Tip-share Classes: Receiver owns length + universal Barrel tip socket.
• Gatling: three Class-scaled Receiver bodies (Rifle / Machine Gun / Heavy Gun).
• Shared kinetic Barrels: one Soft Object Path 5-pack for Rifle Auto/Pulse/Scout/SMG + Hand Cannon + Sidearm + MG (fully shrouded).
• Player / Refit word: Barrel.
• Hand Cannon + Sidearm: Underlug (visible under-barrel block) instead of Brace; no Front Grip.
• Bow: Limbs · Quiver/String · Sight · Grip · Stabilizer (not Front Grip).
• Own Barrel meshes: Shotgun / Sniper / Gatling×3 / Heavy / GL.
• Rocket: Tube + Backblast Collar (rear exhaust — not Warhead).
• Modules: Mag / Stock|Brace / Optic / Grip / Front Grip (long-gun only) / Underlug (pistols) / Bow Stabilizer — unless keyed (Sniper Optic; Coil / Rail / Emitter; Tube / Backblast Collar; Limbs / Prod; Cylinder; GL Year-1 Breech — drums later).
• Specialty Frames: share the Class Spine. Sniper reuses Rifle Spine.
• Assembly: Class Spine → Receiver → modules.

This chapter locks the Year‑1 Season Pass: a shared XP ladder with a free Basic track and a paid Advanced track. It sits on Marketplace / MonetaryPlatform spend rules and Online play objectives — not Character I, not Combat power, not Ladder MMR.

Note

Season Pass. Cosmetics and soft currency only. No gun frames, cadence, skill trees, gems power, RAID access, or ladder standing. Advanced is bought with LUMENAR (cash pack or BTUCOIN→LUMENAR). Basic is free for every Online-capable account. Looks do not grant power and seasons do not vault power.

CF / Founding Clubs: pledge exclusives and club chrome are separate from Season Pass tracks — see Founding Clubs & CF Cosmetics — In-Game. Same looks-only rule.

Lock plate. One ladder, two tracks. Basic free. Advanced = LUMENAR. Looks and soft currency only.

What it is

• One season at a time (target length TBD-PASS-001 — aim 8–10 weeks).
• One shared XP bar and tier index for both tracks.
• Basic track — free; sparse but meaningful cosmetics / small currency.
• Advanced track — LUMENAR purchase; dense cosmetics + more LUMENAR drip; instant unlock on buy.
• UI host: Command Deck → Season (or Season Pass). Not Character I. Wallet / convert stay on Marketplace Wallet.
• Progress identity: EOS / Online account (same host as Monetary). Solo-only saves do not earn pass XP unless a later Solo rate is locked.

What it is not

Out	Why
Power, frames, cadence, trees, raid keys	Marketplace / Dual Armory thesis — looks never sell power
BTUCOIN as tender for the Advanced unlock	Convert BTUCOIN → LUMENAR first (FS-ECO-006)
Credits as the Advanced purchase currency	Advanced is Marketplace spend = LUMENAR
A second “ultra” pass in Year 1	One paid lane; whale SKUs stay storefront looks
Demo Mod / aim-assist dials	Team Demo kit only — not a pass reward

Basic vs Advanced

	Basic	Advanced
Access	Everyone (Online account)	LUMENAR purchase this season
Density	Sparse — claim every few tiers	Dense — claim most tiers
Quality	Sprays, emblems, titles, 1–2 mid looks, small Credits / tiny LUMENAR	Instant look, full theme set, headline looks, Match Results frame, LUMENAR drip
Earn-back	None required	Optional design: enough LUMENAR toward next Advanced (TBD-PASS-002)
UI	Always claimable when tier reached	Visible locked cells; unlock lane on purchase; mid-season buy grants all missed Advanced tiers already earned

Note

Parallel lanes. Same tier index. Reaching a tier evaluates both lanes; only owned lanes pay out. Basic never looks empty beside a full Advanced cell — Advanced is visibly denser at the same tier.

Reward types (allowed)

• Looks: armor vibes / shaders, weapon wraps, emblems, banners, titles, emotes, arrival / invoke presentation, Ultimate cast FX (cosmetic), OmniVisor chrome tints.
• Soft currency: small Credits on Basic (play-flavored drip). LUMENAR primarily on Advanced (and tiny Basic crumbs OK).
• Presentation: Match Results / Ladder board frames (cosmetic surround only).
• Season badge: participation / completion marks on Career / Collections as presentation.

Forbidden in either track: family unlocks, frame stats, cadence, skill-tree nodes, Phonon power, gem/jewel power, inventory expansion that gates power, ladder MMR, Trust rank.

XP sources

• Primary: Online daily / weekly / hard objectives (same spine that mints play BTUCOIN — FS-ECO-008). Completing them grants pass XP and may still mint BTUCOIN per economy lock.
• Match / activity completion XP table — data (TBD-PASS-003).
• Default: Online earns pass XP. Solo rate = 0 until explicitly locked otherwise.
• Late-join catch-up: mild XP multiplier for players who buy/join mid-season (TBD-PASS-004) — never a power catch-up.

Marketplace spend rules

1. Advanced unlock SKU is a Marketplace / Wallet purchase priced in LUMENAR.
2. Player funds LUMENAR only via BTUCOIN → LUMENAR convert (BTUCOIN from fiat store mints at 51/49 and/or play mints). Cash SKUs mint BTUCOIN; they do not grant LUMENAR.
3. Purchase is server-authoritative on MonetaryPlatform; fail-closed if balance insufficient.
4. Buying Advanced mid-season immediately unlocks every Advanced reward for tiers already reached; future tiers claim normally.
5. Tier skips / “buy levels” with LUMENAR are optional Year‑1 stretch (TBD-PASS-005) — not required for the lock. If added, still cosmetics-only progress, never power.
6. Storefront seasonal looks may still sell à la carte; pass exclusives should be marked as pass-lane (no silent duplicate that undercuts Advanced without intent).

Note

Spend. Advanced = LUMENAR only. Credits never buy Advanced. BTUCOIN never tenders the SKU directly. Ledgers stay in MonetaryPlatform; TFAEconomy adapts grants / chips only.

Cash path for Advanced: $ → BTUCOIN mint (51% BTU Games / 49% buyer) → convert → LUMENAR → buy Advanced. Same convert path as any other LUMENAR spend.

UI / Command Deck

• W_TFA_SeasonPass (name lock at scaffold) on Command Deck.
• Shows season theme, time remaining, XP bar, Basic / Advanced cells per tier, claim buttons.
• Advanced purchase CTA routes to Wallet / LUMENAR confirm — does not invent a second ledger UI on Character I.
• Claim is server RPC; client never invents owned looks.

Data (engineering)

• DA_TFA_SeasonPass / DT_TFA_SeasonPassTiers — season id, dates, tier XP (cumulative), Basic reward id, Advanced reward id.
• Reward ids resolve to look / currency grant defs (Marketplace catalog / Monetary grant tables).
• Progress saved per Online identity; Soft Solo offline progress is out unless Solo XP is locked later.

Kanban owners

Owner	Owns
MonetaryPlatform (+ TFAEconomy adapter)	LUMENAR Advanced purchase, currency grants on claim, ledger fail-closed
TFAFrontend / Command Deck	W_TFA_SeasonPass, season chrome, claim / buy UX
TFAOnline	Pass XP from Online objectives / match complete; season schedule hooks
TFAProgression (later)	Do not put power tree grants on pass tiers

Full game kanban: Monetary + Frontend tasks. Demo project does not require Season Pass for Demo exit.

Exit gates

1. Basic track claimable with Online XP; no LUMENAR required.
2. Advanced purchase spends LUMENAR; mid-season buy grants missed Advanced tiers already earned.
3. No power / frame / tree reward appears on either track.
4. Command Deck Season Pass UI shows both lanes; Wallet remains the LUMENAR surface.
