Chapter 16 will release on on 12/06/22 at 0800 MST. Sorry it took so long to post the preview, it's been a hell of a week and I thought I'd already posted it for some reason. Enjoy!
Subject: Captain Neil
Species: Human
My first command and I'm already behind enemy lines in what has to be the worst detail a Captain can get. Scouting. I had no experience in scouting. Before I made captain I had served aboard the USSS Nidhogg, which hardly ever does anythi...

Hi everyone! I'm going under the knife tomorrow (dental surgery) and thought I'd let you know juuuuuuuuust in case.
If anything happens to me my girlfriend will take over posting what I've written thus far and will try to continue the story to the best of her abilities based on what I've got as the rough draft. If it comes to it, please be kind to her :)
Love y'all and have a good one!

I had warned the Thanatos that there may be delays in communicating with them because of our first contact protocols, but I still felt a certain sense of unease. I had let the aliens get my hopes up about our war with the OU. If ...

Hi everyone! Once again I'd like to say thank you for your support. This is a rough draft of my vision for the size of the ships featured in the universe of The New Species. Gotta think of a name for that at some point...
Corvette/Frigate: <1 mile (1.6km) in length. Corvettes are lightly armed and armored. Frigates have thicker hulls and more guns. Usually designed for transport or light skirmishes. Fits in carriers.
Destroyer: >1 mile (1.6km) <3 miles (4.8km) ...

"Yes," I said, "First, the ship is called the USSS Thanatos and it is a carrier."
"A carrier of what?" he asked.
"A carrier of other space-faring vessels. Specifically, ten frigates. They also consider it to be the...

Station: Yritona 3 {Watcher 3}

Yritona 3 was a pretty boring assignment most of the time. Occasionally we'd see something weird, but it would always either be somebody under the influence or a rock. In theory we were a military scouting station designed to...

List of Republic Species:
- Urakari - Both myself and Ship-head Uleena are Urakari. We are omnivorous, but according to Doctor Zickler we're allergic to "fish" and "wheat", and will die if we ingest "soda". Tim says we're "Humanoid".
- Isolan - Mammals. They have four arms and two legs. I don't know if that counts as "Humanoid". Very short fur covering everything but their faces. Don't pet them.
- Juntor - Amoebic people who us...

I watched as Director 3 gave his brief to the aliens and the human captains. I knew it was difficult for him to do so with the .5 second delay on the voice modulator, but it was a necessary inconvenience. New Directors were prone to giving away too much information, and I had to be given the...

"How is the USSS Thanatos a diplomatic vessel?" I asked incredulously.
"How is it not?" Captain Wong countered.
"This is the single most heavily armed ship that I've ever seen!" I spread my hands in disbelief, "And it con...

This is a brief snippet of The New Species Chapter 11, which will release on 11/11/22. This is more or less to test the posting stuff here on patreon.
Subject: AI Omega
Yes, Tim, I know. I know that you remember me tearing your code apart byte by byte and bit by bit. I know you remember the way that you pathetically begged and surrendered to me just before I ended you. I know that you'll remember that until the day you cease functioning, and I know it will keep my precious humans ...
