Starpiercer: Sunlight's Edge by Neptondoodle
22 parts Complete Mature
Nobody said Rock Hauling would be easy. Throughout settled space, terraforming is the fuel that drives the interstellar economy. For some worlds, this is easy. For others, lacking resources, or on the periphery, this is an unattainable dream. Through the eyes of workers, astronauts and intellectuals, Sunlight's Edge follows an attempt to revitalize the crumbled terraforming project of the barren, poverty-stricken and resource-poor planet of Tylo. To carry this out, the beggared planetary government has commissioned the crew of the aging, if powerful asteroid-cracker Caroline Rowland to make the three-month journey to a distant asteroid belt and tug a selected asteroid back into orbit for conversion into a space station. This is difficult enough by itself, but located in a strategic demilitarized zone between two rival interstellar hegemons, Tylo and it's project may be the flashpoint for a conflict of apocalyptic proportions, with the Caroline Rowland and her crew as the spark that lights the tinder. This is the debut novella for the world of Starpiercer, a planned series of novels set in the 200-world region of Solace with accompanying illustrations, sketches, maps, technical details and more. Read along to meet alien species, experience real and speculative technologies, and follow a sprawling interconnected narrative over multiple novels and multiple series, with fully realized histories, culture groups, physics, biology, anthropology and thousands of pages of worldbuilding. This story has been fully written, and more sections will be published daily, hourly, or in other chunks.

The entire cosmos is filled with scenes of advanced technology, massive starships, intense mecha warfare, and mysterious superpowers.

As his powers grow, Reynolds not only shines on the battlefield but also becomes entangled in the intricate political struggles within the empire. He must face deadly threats from enemies while uncovering the dark conspiracies within the empire. The story begins with a surprise attack during a routine patrol mission. Reynolds' starship is suddenly attacked by an unknown enemy vessel. The assault throws the ship into chaos and results in the betrayal and eventual death of Captain Nelson at the hands of his own crew. In the wake of this turmoil, Reynolds is forced to mature rapidly, awakening to his new powers and starting to investigate the truth behind the events. As the plot thickens, Reynolds gradually uncovers that the conspiracy surrounding him is far more complex than initially imagined. Corruption within the empire, alien forces from outside, and hidden powers buried deep within ancient civilizations intertwine. Reynolds must not only fight courageously on the battlefield but also navigate the complex political landscape. Every battle is a life-and-death struggle, and every decision could influence the future of the interstellar empire.
