It is the year 2500, and humanity has expanded its reach beyond the confines of Earth. In a distant sector of the galaxy, a young man named Erich "Silber" Jaeger is born into a dystopian empire that tightly controls the lives of its citizens. Growing up in a society rife with discrimination, Erich faces an uncertain future as he approaches military conscription. He will spend the next two decades of his life serving in the Armed Forces of the Germanic Star-Empire, fighting against the many enemies of the authoritarian state. As he navigates the treacherous landscape of interstellar warfare, Erich must grapple with his own ambitions and loyalties. Will he rise through the ranks to become the next dictator of the empire, or will he meet a gruesome end on the battlefield? Join Erich on his journey through the Interstellar Age, as he confronts the challenges of war, politics, and personal identity in a universe filled with danger and intrigue.
The destruction of the Hive Fleet Terminus caused a massive commotion within the Milky Way Galaxy. In Erich's past life, the Galaxy was practically lit aflame with the news that the Germanic Star-Empire had managed to defeat a Naraku Hive Fleet practically on their own.
But in this timeline, it was so much worse. After all, the Hive Fleet was decimated before it could even descend on the first Dvrakian World. Any recordings of the event showed a flash of light appearing out of thin air that destroyed the Queenship.
The aftermath was a simple and expected turn of events. Without access to the hive mind, the Naraku Hive Fleet turned on itself, and during the ensuing chaos, the GSE and its allies swept in and mopped up the survivors.
