Spacepolitics Stories

A freighter captain, used to surviving by hauling cargo through contested space, takes on an unusual job-not freight, but passengers. What begins as a simple journey soon gets tangled by shifting borders, rising tensions, and the politics of a galaxy on the brink of conflict and by the unexpected connection that forms along the way.

Imagine a world where your level of happiness and health determines your profit, where going out and exercising daily doubles your paycheck. Where automation does all of the hard work, and humans are left to have fun. This is Earth in the year 2875. This is not the world 13 year-old Eksan lives in. Forced to vacate their house, his family becomes homeless, stranded on Drabia when automation took their farm and their future. But when an opportunity for Eksan arises to go with a mysterious man to explore the unknown depths of the galaxy, should he leave behind his family and take it?

Desperation, ideals, greed, and hope - they all have a role to play in tearing the galaxy apart. The human race finds itself at the precipice; a mysterious, monstrous force threatens everything in the cosmos, and all the while, the unity of humanity's Empire threatens to shatter just when it is needed most. Never before has extinction been so tangible a possibility, and never before has exceptional courage, intellect, and luck been more needed. This is a story about more than just people, their ambitions, and their conflicts: it is a story about crisis, set in a universe where survival, for any side, and for anyone, may be impossible. It remains to be seen if the popular patriotic saying, "Humanity endures," will remain true - even for a week. -- If you wish you purchase a paperback version of this novel, you can do so on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Humanity-Endures-Evan-Peter-Armstrong/dp/B08P8QK86H.

Rating: Teen (political tension, implied oppression, legal brinkmanship) Content / Trigger Notes: coercive governance themes, cultural suppression (non-graphic), political intimidation, tense negotiations. For a hundred years, the Galactic Council celebrated Humanity as a "success story": a once- isolated Deathworld species uplifted into the harmony of interstellar law. But the fine print kept growing. Treaty addenda became cultural mandates. Cultural mandates became enforcement. Enforcement became ownership. Then, without warning, Earth transmits a single, immaculately polite missive: Humanity revokes its own membership due to Cultural Irreconcilability. The Council panics- because the treaties were never meant to be escapable... and because the humans wrote their exit clause a century ago.

In a galaxy where everything runs on Nuclear power- Uranium is precious. So what happens when a planet practically made from the stuff crops up? A lot of argueing, to say the least... Joel Hektor is a smuggler, who is roped into a Galactic cold war he wanted little part in. And Cassidy Trynon is a diplomat, and has been in charge of Galactic peace. So you could easily say these two are having a tough day.

Welcome to the Princess Alexa, the pride of the Imperial Diplomatic Fleet. We are pleased that you have been chosen to travel with us to Aarku, the capital planet of the Imperium. (Any stowaways please report to the nearest security officer, so that you may be escorted off the ship and punished severely.) We have detected that you have not had the pleasure of traveling with us before, a short orientation will now follow.

May I remind you that all passengers must adhere to the strict dress policy whilst on board. Also, as per Imperial class rules, communication between races is not encouraged for obvious reasons. If there is anything you desire, you simply need to ask. We at the Princess Alexa hope you have a pleasant journey, we are here to serve you. Long live the Emperor, may we all prosper in his light.

The year is 2889. Three hundred and thirteen years after fleeing a dying earth, the Universe Association has never been stronger. Eight colonized planets, an organized government, and one man at the head of it all are not expecting change. Still, change can spread like fire if sparked in the right place. Daisy Edelweiss, crown princess of Neptune, begins her first year at the Universe Association Academy. Life in a reconstructed Earthen city is as alien to her as her planet once was to Earth, and the invitations to join secret rebellion groups aren't helping. Not to mention the other royals in her class, some of whom can't get off their high horses, and some of whom have the nicest brown eyes... Artemisia McCourt, the youngest senator in training at UAA, must also adjust to life away from the blue planet. Her aptitudes for politics and writing land her a reputation among the Universe Association as either a tool or a weapon, depending on who gets to her first. Everyone's holding their breath for the Little Senator... Terra Solum, crown princess of Mars, is trying to decide whether to give up her crown to her diabolical younger brother, or keep the crown and be forever trapped in a life she doesn't want. A temporary arrangement is made, during which she is allowed to teach at UAA and keep her title while she decides which life she wants. The decision would be far easier without the former crown prince of Mercury and his perfect hair in her way... Royalty, rebellion, and romance collide in Something We Miss.
