Capital city of Ternis, Pullo's bar
Year 984 746, New Imperial Era
Sarah downed her drink, and sighed as her implant suite, connected to a whole host of augmentations spread throughout her body, pinged her. A security alert ping to be precise.
She double checked the alert, and sighed even more deeply.
Oh you have got to be kidding me, she thought to herself.

Alright, so. This post is to address...a bunch of things at once.
First things first, a lot of you have noticed that I have not been as active as I usually am this month. The reasons for that are simple : earlier this month I suffered what might be called an accute case of writer's block...and at the beginning of this week my internet connection died, and I've just spend the rest of the week running around trying to fix it and all the problems it created. There was an update on discord ...

[Note that this chapter is chronogically set right after chapter 56, and will be released on the 31st. The canoncity of the chapter is...a bit debatable, given that it isn't commented on in later chapters, but I might modify them to do so.]

The UEAG-HEWAV-T6 (Unified European Armored Group - High Energy Weapon Armored Vehicle - Type 6) Mirage tank is a fragile, but speedy and extremely mobile grav-tank built by the Unified European Armored Group (UEAG) for the European Federation Marine Corps in response to the use of laser equipped battle tank by the Pan-Asian Confederacy Interplanetary Army Corps during the Interplanetary Wars.

Hello ! Since there hasn't been any suggestion about character art, and I currently am looking at comissioning an artist for art on some characters, I am taking the liberty of putting this out there to see who you would like to see first ! (Note that Sara and Ella, Emilia's handmaidens, are already slated for comissioning).

[I'm not really happy with how the discussion at the end turned out, or Alexandra's overall reaction, but I'm tired as hell, construction is still ongoing and hammering even through my headset with music at full volume, and my father interrupted me halfway through writing it. So, be warned, this chapter will probably have major edits at some point, or a total rewrite. Don't hesitate to send me feedback about it.]

The EFHA-OCSO-6 (European Federation High Admiralty - Omega-Class Strategic Ordnance) planetbuster missile is the single most powerful weapon ever developed by any nation of human space, and is one of the most tightly held secret of the European Federation. The missile is 560 meters long, and follows the standard space rule of 10x1x1 of dimensions, with 56 meters of width. That totals at a tonnage of 1 756 160 cubic meters, which is more than most frigates and even some older light cruisers. ...

For a second, everything seemed to freeze as the massive yell sounded throughout the town, it's faint echo bouncing off of the mesas, and everyone turned towards the column of golems marching out of the dungeon. Golems that had just combined their voices into a single one, yelling their defiance towards the manticore.
And the manticore heard them.

The High Admiral is the overall commander of the Federation's Armed Forces, as due to the Navy's supremacy (whoever controls the orbitals controls the world) in the interstellar age all other services depend on the navy to fulfill their own missions. Rarely the Federation President also happened to be the High Admiral, although that was mainly due to the High Admir...

Also called 'Contingency-class' for short, Final Contingency-class cruisers were created as part of the European Federation Navy's Final Defence Protocols, and are in fact the last contingency measure on the list. They are simply the last option of the EFSN, when all else is lost. Their goal isn't to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat however, their sole objective is to make sure that if the Feder...
