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.
A year passed, and during this time, Erich had maintained the fragile alliances that he had built. Whether it was with the Federation, the Dominion, the Cabal, or the Theocracy. Erich did his best to ensure that everyone was properly prepared for the war that was to come.
In the mean time Erich would often consult with the sages, exploring the depths of his abilities, and working hard to unlock hidden secrets that had long since been a mystery to those who had similar capabilities.
Mirage spent every day preparing the manned mission for Andromeda, one which was designed to deal a substantial blow to the Naraku Hivemind, and hopefully buy them some much needed time.
But something strange was happening to Ayumi, something that Erich did not initially notice. She had begun entering trance like states, completely becoming devoid of thought for moments at a time, only to come back into reality not being the slightest bit aware that she had blacked out.
