Chapter 41

As my Grand Ducal Council gathered together once again, I sat in the meeting room waiting for them while reading a report. This one had been forwarded to me by Minister Kowalski on the situation in the Second Principality of Rasalhague. It was an ...

Chapter 11

The Steam Tunnels under the second level of Olympus ain't as pretty as the rest of the damned place in Jackie's humble opinion. Of course, ain't no way that a utility tunnel was gonna compete with the Homes and Temples of Gods on the aesthetics fr...

Prologue

I found myself in a Diner seated across from an older-looking blonde woman. Funny, I don't remember coming to a diner, last I recalled, I'd gone to sleep early to get an early start for D&D Tomorrow, since I had to be on the road by ten to get...

Chapter 19

It wasn't long after the taking of the Fort and the first repulsing of the Gimi immortals before a second attack from the direction of Gimi Port was mustered. Perhaps an hour and a half after, if Bikki had to guess. This time, instead of a simple ...

Chapter 31

Component Storage was indeed a mess. Not ninety seconds after I entered the shattered corridor with its sparking light fixtures and cracked walls, the first hint of what exactly had happened in here manifested itself when a blast door shut behind ...

Chapter 74

Raiden charged and as he did, I leaped up over him. His running tackle missed me by inches and he dove head-first into a table, smashing the solid mahogany in half with his face as he did so. I landed behind him and blurred into a Senshippou as he...

Chapter 71

Downtime between Phase One and Phase Two of Operation: Grass Cutter was only a few days. Mostly, it was spent going over the intel and equipment looted from the Base and healing our wounded, though neither exactly applied to me. Instead, I was bac...

Chapter 90

It was two days before all had arrived, though Jalhabar Xho and Prince Perros were not the last to arrive. Interestingly, that honor went to the Lords of the Three Sisters. Lords Sunderland, Borrel, Longthorpe, and Torrent had apparently decided t...

Chapter 13

The rest of the Week Proceeded in a flurry of socializing, training, and studying. I mostly kept up my training on Occlumency, Leglimency, and the Dead Moment on my own, but also added training in Psychometry in preparation for Sunday's attempt to...

Map of the Sphere: 3026

The Grand Duchy of New Ålborg is the light purple at the very top of the map.

You'll also note the Second Principality of Rasalhague in Ice Blue between the Lyrans and Combine. It's smaller than it would have been in canon due to independen...

Chapter 40

The day opened with bombardment. Aerospace Fighters from the fleet came down en-masse to swarm the Grimfort and degrade its defensive capabilities, while the full might of fourteen regiments' artillery battalions opened up, firing shell after shel...

Chapter 17

As Shi Hou and Evening Rabbit traveled on the back of their phantom steed, they focused themselves on fleeing. The Dragonbloods who were after them would need to recover their Circle Mates and that would give them time. Plus the sorcery that was u...

Chapter 73

South Town was an interesting mixture of cultures. Carved out of the Bayous of Cajun Country, it started life as a French Coastal Fort guarding the westward approaches to New Orleans from English Privateers out of the Tri-Island Area, as the Gover...

Chapter 10

Jackie charged Deimos with the Strong-Maned Pig Charges the Boar Hunter Technique. The Technique was the sorta power that'd multiply damage from attacks coming outta a charge three-fold. Only catch was that it didn't do jack shit for accuracy, so ...

Known Minor Powers of the Milky Way as of Nineteen-Ninety-Eight

Introduction

Now we turn to the known Minor Powers of the Milky Way as of the moment. As previously stated, these would be small pocket realms of up to a dozen worlds each. Such powers rise and fall all the time, as the ...

Chapter 47

As we lined up opposite the enemy near Coronea, I couldn't help but realize how backward much of the Boeotian and Athenian Allied Force was. Very few of them possessed weapons of high-quality iron, and those that did generally did so only based on...

Chapter 70

Shikamaru wasn't too alarmed at the sudden downing of several members of their platoon in a surprise assault by bombs of smoke-type ninjutsu. Sure, the platoon he'd been a part of had been damaged in the opening gambit, but running into someone wh...

Chapter 89

It had finally happened. Civil War was here, and only a month later than canon. Fortunately, it seemed that we would be minus at least one King, as Vizimir had reported that Bronn and his Brute Squad had managed to ensure every person on their lis...

Chapter 12

Today, I had the morning all to myself, then the afternoon was Dueling Club, followed by lessons with Magnus Gamp in the evening. It was a pretty full day after the morning, and I doubted I'd get much in the way of training in once I had to leave ...

Chapter 39

Dadaocheng City was on fire. If not literally, then it was definitely on fire physically as a pair of factions contested the city. Between stragglers from defeated units, fortress troops, and the Ninth Pesht Regulars, Alexander Kurita had pulled t...

Known Regional Powers of the Milky Way as of Nineteen-Ninety-Eight

Introduction

As stated earlier, these regional powers have more than a dozen systems under their control and tend to be organized, advanced, militarily capable, or some combination thereof. At least enough so as to pose a s...

Chapter 30

The Border between Serbia and Symkaria was largely dominated by the Southernmost stretch of the Carpathian Mountains. The Town of Belovo sat in the midst of the Durad Pass, named for the Serbian Ruler who founded the town, as well as the closest M...

Chapter 69

As we headed down the corridor, I couldn't help but notice that the further in we went, the more bats seemed to be hanging off the ceiling. Frowning, I moved over to Saisu and drew his attention to all of the bats. Unfortunately, he just shook his...

Known Great Powers of the Milky Way as of Nineteen-Ninety-Eight

Introduction:

The Milky Way Galaxy may appear to be almost completely dominated by the Goa'uld Empire, but this is not actually the case. While they certainly control a majority of worlds situated along the Stargate Network...

Chapter 16

Shi Hou and Evening Rabbit stayed for a few days in Onehill, gathering supplies and generally getting the lay of the land. Apparently, the Emir of Tulgadan and the Prince of Peshmi were on the verge of war over some sort of recently uncovered Shog...

Chapter 9

Home Base for the Relief Force turned out to be some sorta Temple. The statues of Myrmidons and a specific, helmeted, spear-wielding, Goddess said the whole shebang was a Temple of Athena, but Jackie ain't sure what a temple to the Goddess of Stra...

Chapter 18

Fei-Yan came in with punches at Bikki, rock spikes flying from knuckles, attempting to box the Yonbanjin Prince in, to force him to move in ways that he wanted. Bikki ducked and weaved away from the oncoming storm of missiles, weaving away from ja...
