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.
Let it Burn!
Erich sat alone in the darkness for his quarters for some time. Though he was used to having a shared consciosness with Tia. This was different. It wasn't just a shared mind with Terminus, and the other unhatched larvae that were currently being incubated.
No, he felt as if his very soul was melded into one with the others. It was a strange feeling and haunted the man to the core of his being. He contemplated for some time how he had been led to this situation. Better yet, how he kept finding himself in such predicaments.
One of the key reasons behind his repeated failures was frankly his own ignorance. He was born and bred to be a dumb grunt, sent against the enemies of the empire to repeatedly die in battle until either his luck had run up, or he had been deemed no longer useful by his superiors.
