1 Chapter 1 - Nothing so refreshing as plasma in the face

Endless darkness and silence. Even if you listen closely, you will hear nothing but your own beating heart. But in this infinity there are many lives some believe that they are the most important beings, not even suspecting that they are just a speck of dust, and maybe even a small microbe in this universe. They believe that they can not even be compared with others because they control their own kind they are lions, alphas are those who dominate. Others call them simply rulers, tyrants, emperors, kings, presidents. In this infinity there are many lives some believe that they are the most important beings, not even suspecting that they are just a speck of dust, and maybe even a small microbe in this universe.

Maybe they do influence this universe in some way, maybe, but what they do influence is the fate of their worlds and nations.

In earth's history, there have been many historical events that have influenced the direction of people living on this small green globe, wars, diseases, great discoveries.

But nothing united Earthlings so much as the desire to conquer space. Ancient people looked at the stars and wanted to be among them, people of industrial society studied the cosmos with the help of tools to understand it, people of the future tried to penetrate this main mystery of all people.

Already in the 1960s, people learned to visit space. In 2000, Earthlings were able to do with a large percentage of success. In 2042, space ceased to be just a costly scientific project, people learned to transport people in large numbers, colonized the moon, opened a bunch of commercial projects on the Earth's satellite.

In 2050, for the first time, the means to travel through space over long distances were discovered, other planets were colonized, thanks to this, not only technical/mechanical knowledge, but also biology flourished. Gene modifications have been developed, cures have been found for most Earth diseases, and new strains of space diseases have been discovered. It seemed that people's enthusiasm for space exploration could not be stopped.

In 2063, humanity first encountered alien races, as most would assume there would be a war, but no.

Both civilizations were careful, but later they managed to establish a stable relationship

The nations of the Earth decided to change the UN system and transformed humanity into the Unification of humanity's Outer space

UHOS

In the same year, a rapid exchange of information began between the alien state calling itself the Republic of Lavren and UHOS.

In 2065, new alien civilizations found in the vastness of space joined this cycle of information.

In 2071, the Space Federation was created, which included many civilizations including UHOS.

There were many differences between the races, some had 4 arms or 2 heads, some were 6 meters tall, and some were even shorter than humans. But what they all had in common was their greed. Each race wanted the best for itself, and the rest for others, so even in peacetime there were always small conflicts. Therefore, the era of prosperity of piracy and mercenaries began. Which continues to this day.

Year 2318 according to the Earth calendar

Outer space Validos system.

In the Validos system, there are only 3 planets, 2 of which are famous for their tourist attractions. The planet Validos-1 is a huge water world with various marine species from which great delicacies are made, popular in all nearby systems. Validos-2 compared to the first planet is a planet with the purest air and huge fields covering 63% of the surface of this planet. The attractive thing about this planet was that here and only here grew plants that help cleanse the body of foreign energy, radiation, pollution, and in general they just produced a relaxing aura that visitors liked so much. But the planet Validos-3 was completely different from its brothers. This is an icy planet located on the outskirts of the system, but on this planet there was a military base UHOS, and all because there is a rare resource even by the standards of the entire universe – Hyanite. These are Purple crystals used for the production of a reinforced version of fuel, and also with the help of hyanite, various new products are produced: metal, plastic, etc.

Unfortunately for UHOS, the Validos system is located on the border with 4 other civilizations famous for their militarism and xenophobia, because of this, there were often skirmishes. Given the tourist ships on Validos -1.2, this place was a haven for piracy, but also for mercenaries.

Space battleship GH-Alexia.

A man with brown hair, in which small gray fibers are visible, with green eyes, with a rather broad face, at the moment smeared in some oil blots. He looks to be in his mid-forties, wearing the gray uniform worn by all members of the UHOS Space Force Engineering department. However, his form differs in that on his chest you can see 3 stars indicating that he is not just an ordinary engineer, but the head of the engineers on this ship. At the moment, he is busy adjusting the steel exoskeleton of the battleship's assault troops.

- Hey, Victor, how long will it take for you to finally adjust this armor., I'm already sitting here for 3 hours, if I knew that this would happen, I would go better to train the brats on the training ground.

- Oh, come on, sissy, who's to blame for getting into trouble when you're supposed to be standing in the back and giving orders to the soldiers, so no, our great Lieutenant Grey Marocoso has to get into the thick of the battle.

- What could I do, these damned pirates are climbing and climbing into this fucking system, as if it were anointed with honey, so I was still in the morning from General Malkovich, for the fact that I drank a little yesterday, well, you know me. Imagine how I felt when these bastards were constantly yelling around, and my brats spent a whole fucking hour and a half on these scum.

- Yeah, maybe the plasma in your face helped you get rid of the tension. Victor grins, looking at the broken helmet of armor lying next to him, which shows a huge molten hole in the center.

- Heh, nothing so refreshing in the morning as plasma in the face, my friend.
