Humanity stands on the precipice of an unprecedented milestone: securing a permanent seat within the esteemed Galactic Community. This monumental achievement has opened the gates to the once-restricted Terminus Codex Archive 12, now available to the public for the first time. This archive offers a detailed chronicle of the Terran race, documenting their storied history and meteoric rise to prominence among the stars.
In this captivating volume of the Chronicum Ab Astris, readers will traverse the epochal journey of humanity, from their nascent steps on Earth to their ascension as a formidable galactic power. The archive is a treasure trove of renowned accounts, chronicling pivotal events that shaped humanity's path to enlightenment, their relentless expansion across the cosmos, and their daring ventures into the unknown.
However, their saga is not without turbulence. The narrative takes a dramatic turn as humanity faces a sudden and existential crisis. Political turmoil, social upheaval, and cosmic threats culminate in a period of banishment and rebellion. These trials and tribulations test the very fabric of human resolve and unity.
Yet, through the crucible of conflict and adversity, humanity emerges resilient and undeterred. The Chronicum reaches its crescendo with the triumphant unification of the Terran race, a unification forged in the fires of struggle and tempered by the enduring spirit of cooperation and hope.

Exodus Nebula
In a small, Positivist-controlled city, Gireiah Copeigh of Yun, a renowned astronomer and theoretician, witnesses a revelled and worshipped event of deep antiquity: a Vanishing. Of the twelve stars visible on the celestial sphere, eleven remain. Following the event, a strange yet deliberate phenomenon splayed across the sky--mysterious astronomical activities with perhaps principally scientific interpretations, or perhaps the chiseled, fleeting abstractions of gods... In this distant space and time, Gireiah sets out to find an old reclusive friend, an aid to help uncover the truth about the world's newly molested skies, as well as the purpose and mechanism responsible for the Vanishings themselves. The paths of others like himself cross, and in these trekkings, an awful truth of their universe is revealed. This is Exodus Nebula, a novella of about 55,000 words, or twenty-four chapters. The mannerism and syntax of the writing can be a bit... dense. You'll have to excuse me for that. This was never supposed to be a serious attempt at a completed story, yet here it is. At about halfway through, I decided I didn't like the mannerisms at all and that it would be better off as a story entirely rewritten. Instead, I kept up with it anyway and made amends nearer the end. It was a mistake now learnt. If you choose to read past, oh, chapter five, where the story begins to pick up momentum in my opinion, I hope you enjoy. I've included a lot of themes I find intriguing and attempted to make the world wholly open for the reader's interpretation--which was the intent of this project, more or less: a practice of worldbuilding. Thanks, and again, enjoy! Exodus Nebula Copyright © 2018 Brayden M. Fox All Rights Reserved Cover art by BMFComplete
