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.
Retrofits
After entering the new ship, Erich and his crew stopped by Tia's world, to undergo a retrofit, where she would ensure that every aspect of the exploration craft was outfitted with the best technology in the galaxy, technology that the artificial intelligence had designed herself.
And while the vessel underwent extensive modifications, to the point that it was stripped down to the bare bones, and reassembled with a new hull, Erich finally got a tour of Tia's barren world. Without the subterranean complexes, life would not be capable of surviving on this atmosphereless world.
But for the sake of keeping her test subjects alive, Tia had installed extensive life support systems in a series of bunkers, tunnels, that more closely resembled a subterranean city than they did anything else.
