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.
All across the galaxy, the various civilizations that had access to the Galactic Network watched the videos of the Germanic Star-Empire's last stand. Many of them simply did so because they had nothing better to do, and it was not every day that a regional power collapsed. Others, however, were emotionally invested in the situation, and some had even begun to make bets about their odds of survival.
But, if there was one thing that everyone unanimously agreed upon, it was that the Germanic Star-Empire would suffer a horrific fate, like every other civilization that Terminus had come across so far. Or so they thought. But after months of the Naraku Hive Fleet grinding their way through dozens of Germanic fortress worlds, they had suddenly lost momentum, and finally on the world of Suebi, the devouring swarm had been repelled.
