Struggle for Olympus is a project I have been working on Since 2010. It was an idea I started on 16 years ago. Its a dark Sci-Fi setting taking place in 2457, detailing a humanity more grounded in reality in tone than most Science fictions. Where there are no clear cut "Good" or "Bad" guys, where "right" and "wrong" depended on perspective and ideology.
The Idea started out as back drop for a mod for a game called Decent: FreeSpace. Me and my a friend of mine started modding project for shits and giggles. I wrote most of the background writing, and in game mission writing.
However like most projects, we became disinterested part of the way through. And I ended up with documents full of background fluff and nothing to do with it. A year after we abandoned the project, I started writing short stories from the setting, which I've never posted anywhere, and eventually forgot about it... at least until about 4 months ago.
I've put aside most of the shorts and figured it was time to make an actual story out of all this stuff I had laying around. I might still post some of the shorts later, or use them for something else. But Struggle for Olympus: Guardsmen is the child of those old documents I had, and I'm glad to now have the chance to share this with everyone. I'm hoping to have this completed by New Years 2026, but who knows.
I hope you all enjoy.
