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.
Like the previous timeline, Wang Jia-Li had been selected by her older brother to act as the personal representative of the Wang Dynasty to the Germanic Star-Empire. However, unlike the previous timeline, this wasn't a double play at diplomacy.
After all, Erich had already conquered the Confederation of Human worlds and annihilated the overwhelming majority of its population. With only those of a certain heritage and moral standing being permitted to live as second-class citizens within the Empire.
Earth had been reclaimed and rebuilt in the image of the Germanic Star-Empire. The decrepit and degenerate society that once existed was nowhere to be found. Its monuments torn asunder, and its cities demolished entirely.
Earth had become a bastion of Germanic culture, and it was populated in the billions by migrants from Germania. The home of humanity had been reclaimed by its favored children. Or so the Germanic propaganda espoused.
