1 Prologue

It´s the year 2033

Nearly 3 Years since the launch of the MMORPG Galactic Infinity.

Galactic Infinity is a massive online roleplaying game where you can build your own spacecraft or base on a planet and explore a few Galaxies. It is still the most popular game despite being released three years ago because of its freedom to build and roleplay. The game has a player base of over 4 billion people. Players could form civilizations, nation´s and guild´s, build their own company or establish their own territory or sphere of influence.

Of course, they could also conquer other players territories and it's no big surprise that there were intergalactic wars happening like the famous three-day war. Where Players of German nationality and their Intergalactic Republic called "Bismarck" surprised attacked and conquered the French Intergalactic Kingdom "Napoleon". That was quite a funny and lightning-fast war, later thousands of memes circulated in the internet about the iconic event and especially their fast surrender.

(Author Note: Please don´t be offended as I will try to put in funny jokes and cliches in my novel to make it more interesting, more about that at the end of the chapter)

Many Players of their own nationality banded together and reconstructed their dream countries. Well, I was no exception I was a player in the intergalactic principality of Austria and guild owner of "Order of Moonlight Emerald" together with same minded people we created a lot of spacecrafts and build a few cities and space stations with ports for various spacecraft because of the huge freedom the game offers, players could reconstruct famous monuments and spacecraft from films or series as long as it was working according to the dynamics and physics or had no major design flaw or it could backfire and cause the whole object to be destroyed. As you might have guessed the principality is a very close ally of the republic of Bismarck.

Over time I and my crew had various failures on our first attempts to build anything but over time we got good enough that our items we build could work normally and be completed. Thankfully the game provided a system where our designs and plans could be analysed for their feasibility but if the plan was a failure it would be scraped directly by the system and the frustrating part is that most of the time we could not even know why. Our guild even supplied the players in charge of the government and stability of the principality and had our fare share of participating in wars and battles where we commanded our spacecrafts and formed huge fleets consisting of hundreds of players.

For myself I even created a small Fleet of Star Wars ships from the famous movies. It was quite hard to reconstruct the spacecrafts with their exact appearances and abilities but in the end, I succeeded and made even improvements to their classes. The fleet consists of a modified Resurgent-Class Star Destroyer as the main flagship with one starfighter wing of 120 TIE space superiority fighters, one starfighter wing of 120 Droid starfighters, 100 AAL-1971 Troop Transporters, 2 Light Cruisers and numerous ground vehicles. Then two modified Imperial I-class Star destroyer, two modified Venator II-class Star destroyer and 1 modified Interdictor-class Star Destroyer each with most of traditional armament of the movies. Instead of a Crew to operate for the fleet I build in a powerful AI which controls the flight trajectory and the main systems of each ship.

By the way I have given the AI the name Minerva (also known as Athena) as the ancient goddess of War and Wisdom a fitting name for an AI that controls star ships with high firepower. In addition, the fleet contains 20.000 BX-series droid commandos as the main attack force, 100 Q-series droidekas for support, 50 IG-100 Magna Guard as personal bodyguards and 5 ST-series military strategic analysis and tactics droids as the main commanders of each spacecraft and their droid crew each with fitting names as follows Vincent, Konstantin, Bill, Leon and Victor. Well, there was manly one reason why I build droids instead of clones they were simply more cost effective because in the game building an NPC was very high, so a lot of players diverted to robots.

Well I myself decided to build star wars ships because of their stunning appearances although my guild was medium sized and I had to build the fleet myself by gathering the resources I am quite proud of it. Although I know I can not really call it a fleet.

"Finally, after 3 Years my Resurgent-Class Star Destroyer will be completed tomorrow afternoon. Then my whole Fleet will be completed. Those thousands of hours of pain strikingly gathering resources and planning and designing hundreds of plans will be worth it." I thought while looking at the progress bar in the factory.

[Author Note: Well, well you have come quite far that must mean you have read my Prologue, Congratulations that you didn´t skip it. "Ahem" Welcome Readers this is my first novel and since I have no clue how to write one don´t expect to much. Also please don´t be offended by jokes or other meanings I put into the novel. Feedback and criticise is always welcome. Also please leave recommendations. Don´t expect to much from the quality as this is ma first novel and English is not my native language. The story will have similarities with other Sci-Fiction books as I will use them as reference or use elements from them, for example Star Wars the Ships. I´ll try to create an interesting story that you can enjoy reading and not tormenting you. If I can call you, you. Yours truly the Author, Bye]
