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.
The Cost of Victory
Erich's heart when he heard how little of a chance the galaxy had in fighting against the Naraku invasion from both Andromeda and Triangulum. After all, these were two entire galaxies full of wriggling bugs which sought to devour and exterminate all biological life within the Milky Way.
How could one galaxy defend against two entire galaxies' worth of enemies? Galaxies mind you that were quite a bit a larger than the milky way? It made sense that defeat was all but certain. In fact, a less than five percent chance of victory and survival was actually rather good when Erich really thought about it.
But when Tia said they had a chance of increasing the odds of victory, albeit with uncertain prospects for the future, Erich was quick to grab onto the robotic woman's shoulders and ask for an answer from her.
"What is it, Tia? What can increase our odds of survival, and by how much?"
