In the Edwardian Coalition, all is well. The mass turmoil from the ancient takeovers is now considered ancient history, occurring roughly thousands of years ago. In this now-unified galaxy, multiple variants of the human race live in harmony with the scarce other independently evolved sentient races. The freed Hydrean race is in the midst of integrating itself into normal society. In this advanced world, a broken man lives. His name is George Stone, and he works for the totalitarian ruling entity Edward, a sentient and godlike computer being. The taciturn man lives out his life peacefully, captaining one of the many cityships prowling the galactic edge, keeping the rim populace well aware of Edwardian rule. One of the many people living and breathing within the massive ship is Aeren Vestraadi, a who's fate is intertwined with Stone's. Together, they shall travel to the one place in the galaxy where no one has attempted to enter: the Empire of Lights. Their intention is to destroy it, by diplomacy or force. But things shall not go as planned. A sci-fi space opera with a hint of romance; entire fictional universe/paracosm made by me. The story is a work in progress, expect updates every so often with a couple pages each. Please note that the cover is a work in progress, and that I do not own it. Cover is concept art for the album Orakel by Savant, which is pretty fantastic. I intend no copyright infringement by using it, it just suited the story. A manga is in the works for this story. It is currently in the very early stages, but hopefully itll do well and we can release it to you guys. a link will be put up when it begins production.
