A star-faring religious cult has created an army of robotic zealots designed to follow holy scripture. As the robotic menace spreads across the galaxy, it takes prisoners to be 'excommunicated': hooked into a neural simulation of eternal torment. Captain Rolland Barron leads the Sol Federation Starship Excalibur on a diplomatic mission. Cassia LaCroix is a wormhole hunter, earning a living scouring the galaxy for valuable tunnels through space-time. Prince Zoojin, a psychic alien from a distant galaxy, must prove himself worthy of the throne of Paxis Prime. The paths of these characters converge as they pursue their own motives, leading them towards the mechanical legion that is sweeping across the galaxy. COVER BY: rentachi AUTHOR'S NOTE: this is an early draft of the novel. I am very grateful for your readership and your feedback, which I have taken into consideration for a major rewrite. The new novel is completely different. If you liked the book, then please look forward to the release of the finished novel.

VEGA Fleet Commander David Grest is shipping cargo from a Helium-3 field orbiting a planet across the galaxy to another one. Recently, Rebels have been rioting, attacking every VEGA Federation fleet they see. The relatively simple job goes sour as a Rebel fleet sits and waits for them. David and his crew must form a strategy to defeat the Rebel fleet. This is a short story based on the real time strategy game VEGA Conflict (play on mobile or Steam). I obviously don't own any rights to the game: I'm not that good of a programmer. If you play the game, you'll enjoy references and the intensity of gameplay in a story form; if you haven't played the game, perhaps this will excite you enough to try it out. Enjoy!

The New Republic has finally won the war against the empire. Force wielders and as such Ahsoka were valued again. There was a new threat lurking in the dark however. A threat more terrible then the empire. A path of terrible destruction lay behind it. Destruction to the extent, that the source had ebandoned it and created a void around it. The dark side had the task to destroy the threat and as the New Republic would not be able to stand against it, the dark side had to create a power which could stand against that threat. And the dark side used Ahsoka to create that power. Obviously, it's plans extended beyond the mere destruction of that threat.
