Interstellar Age
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.
Leading the Charge
From the moment Erich's pod landed on the planet below, he found himself surrounded by his own soldiers. They had set up a base camp within an area of the world that they had effectively conquered. At least on the surface.
There were issues beneath the surface of bugs congregating and popping up causing mayhem in the past, but these had been largely resolved by various strike teams which cleared out the tunnels beneath the encampment. As it stood, this was effectively the safe zone established on the world.
Upon seeing their emperor emerge from a pod, the entirety of the armed forces within the immediate vicinity saluted him, while an officer stepped forward to coordinate with the man he presumed would be taking charge of the war effort.
"Emperor! We were not expecting your presence. Are you sure you should be here right now? The fighting is thick just outside the barrier which protects this outpost!"
