CRONOS I The battle was bloody. Human and Orc corpses littered the battlefield. The humans were overwhelmed at every battle line. The overwhelming numerical superiority of the Orc Empire on the battlefield threatened to consume them, forcing the Federation to a desperate strategy of resistance. The Orc species was known for its aggressiveness, and this was on full display on the battlefield. The Orcs' physical aspects and their violence terrified the human foot soldiers, who were quite physically…-

TERRA—FEDERATION SECRET SERVICE HQ—UNDERGROUND BUNKER Two men stood around a table. They were General Ralfot and Supreme Chancellor Souley, at this time the two most important men in the entire United Federation of Planets. Chancellor Souley consulted some documents and said, "Are you sure?" General Ralfot replied, "There is no doubt about it. Our sources have clearly identified those responsible for these attacks. Without exception, they are all Eternals." The chancellor seemed troubled as he…

Before long, Lotus received a response signal originating near the former capital of Tyo. MK.2, 3, 4, and 5 landed near the mountains beside the former capital of Tyo, not far from the Zetark shipyard. This was where, in the mountains, the bulk of the Federation resistance was organized—over ten thousand soldiers and a hundred officers! In theory, Lotus had no authority over them, since she wasn't part of the Federation army. However, she could exploit the ambiguity of the situation, especially given…

ERA PRIME SYSTEM Four corvettes, bearing the Eclipse guild's emblem, exited hyperspace over Planet Era. Once a beautiful Gaia-type planet with rich flora and fauna, the arrival of the Eternals had resulted in Era being completely devastated by nuclear strikes. In fact, after the first conflicts between the Eternals and the Federation, the planet was reduced to a radioactive desert. Nevertheless, it wasn't a terrible environment for space-faring humans. After the extinction of the Tyotting people, a new…

TRANSPORT SHIP ABOVE THE BATTLEFIELD Apophis stood beside Colonel Zareil. Below them, the battle raged on. Hundreds of thousands of laser beams illuminated the battlefield, evidence of the violent conflict between the infantries. The air itself sparked and glowed with the release of Ascensionist energy due to PvP fight between players, and shock waves rocked the transport ship as heavy artillery fire swept the ground of the deserted planet. All that remained where the battle moved was blood, corpses,…

Landing shuttles flooded the black sky of Cronos I. Hundreds of thousands of anti-aircraft guns opened fire without hesitation while alarms blared frantically all over the planet! Meanwhile, one brave player broadcasted the events live. "Heeey, this is Pro-Streamer! Here on Cronos I, the ground battle is about to begin. The loud noise you hear behind me is the sound of anti-aircraft guns and alarms! Here on the western continent, madness reigns! "The first skirmishes have already taken place! Our…

CRONOS I—ONE HOUR BEFORE THE BATTLE The MK.1 landed in a forest at the planet's north pole. Apophis and his crew disembarked and followed the instructions General Ralfot had given them to find the Federation command bunker. It was located ten kilometers deep at the planet's pole, an interesting place to put a command center. As the planet was mostly a desert biome, the north and south poles had a relatively temperate climate. Apophis wore his new Federation colonel's uniform, a sober uniform with a…

CRONOS SYSTEM Several million ships exited hyperspace at once. The Orc landing fleet had arrived! There were over six and a half million landing ships—that is, an invasion force of six hundred and fifty million soldiers. Unlike warships, which were very expensive to manufacture, landing ships were far more basic. They were made up of only landing engines, and so were escorted by a warship which allowed them to move safely through both realspace and hyperspace. The Orc Empire had managed to assemble…

HYPERSPACE—ECLIPSE GUILD FLEET—MK.1 Apophis sat in the captain's office, reading a book on ground combat strategy, when he received a message from Lotus telling him to look at the "Horus" forums. Apparently, some major event was taking place right then! While in hyperspace, all communication and information networks inside the game were disrupted, so the forum was all Apophis could access to learn news about this event. He quickly scanned a few topics, leaving comments and following them to check…

On Terra, the sun hadn't yet risen. With its population of one trillion, though, the streets were already full, including in front of the Federation Senate. The Senate's role had always been to hold the Federation together, despite the thousands of systems under its control and the billions of different xeno citizens in the nation. It was considered the most politically important place in the Federation, even more so than the Chancellor's palace. The senate was the Federation's symbol of democracy and…
