POV: Eamon Thorne. Unnamed system in Grunur space.
The station hung in geostationary orbit above an unnamed continental world. Its vast collection of solar arrays would have covered an area of nearly 50,000 square kilometers if 60% of them hadn't been shattered by the occasional space...
Author’s Note: Here is todays chapter. If you haven’t read the side chapter yet, then I recommend you do. It was fun for myself to write, and the somebodynobody’s writing style is totally different from my own.
You don’t *need* to read it, but there will be mentions of things happening in...
Extras: Sidestory: The Pointy Gate [Anbennar Crossover Prologue]
Hyperion's Note (Cause I'm not the author of this one):
Howdy folks! This side chapter was written by somebodynobody10 and posted over on the discord server. It is meant to be read after Chapter #75, though it isn't strictly necessary. That being said, there will be mentions of things happening...
True, but you would need to supply the people stationed on-base for when those vessels were stationed there. That includes everything from cooks, to trainers, to military police, etc. By the time you're gotten all of that, you have a small city. I'd still say 1 million is an estimate at the...

POV: Ma'chello.
Once again, I shoved the minerals into the scanner, and once again, the results were completely unchanged.
Two days prior, one of my students had brought me the chemical makeup of various minerals discovered on Kaelastrum. He spent nearly two weeks testing the tensile...
BRUH! Where were you when I was writing that chapter. I spent at least three hours finding what was a *technically* correct term, and it still felt like I was missing something.
Thank you!
Author's Forward:
Howdy everyone! Sorry for the hiatus. I'm in my last month of college, and classes are really kicking my ass. I've been keeping people updated over on the Discord and I forgot to give everyone an update over here as well. I don't like just putting out announcements and I was...

POV: Lyra Denith, Dendredan surveyor.
In the short time that the Asgard were helping to move the population of Dendred to the new homeworld of Kaelastrum, they noticed several unidentified structures all over the planet. Before the world was to be completely abandoned, these facilities...

POV: Arthur Sinclair.
"The most recent Celestial Forge achievement is also an achievement that can be obtained in Stellaris." I said as I took my seat at the table across from Arriston. He waited for me to continue. "If the Stellaris achievements count as Celestial Forge achievements...

POV: Eamon Thorne. Unnamed system in former Baol/Grunur space.
As we dropped out of hyperspace, the pilot immediately activated the radio and spoke. "BES-1 to BES-3. You called for us?"
There was a moment of silence before the reply came. "Yeah. We think we've detected a ship in the...

POV: Michael Dresden. Epsilon Pegasus system, Columbus (Epsilon Pegasus IV).
I watched from orbit as a few dozen Bilskirnir-class Asgard vessels pulled out of hyperspace. Each of them pulled at least one Goa'uld vessel. Then the large hole in Hyperspace opened, and out came several more...

POV: Arthur Sinclair.
With a whoosh, the space in the Cybrex Alpha system was torn open; a massive hole almost 600 kilometers in diameter seemed to shred apart the sky. I could just barely make out a couple dozen Bilskirnir-class vessels coming out of the blue glow of hyperspace. The...

POV: Supreme Commander Thor. Othalla, Asgard Homeworld.
With a flash of light, I took my place on the Asgard High Council. I was second to arrive this time, with the Chief Archon already in his seat as I looked around. Over the next several seconds, all the other seats filled in.
The...

POV: Arthur Sinclair.
President Arriston sat behind his desk, staring at me and Slightly Overweight, who was floating at my side. Arriston smiled at the Huragok. “You wished to speak with me?”
Slightly Overweight whistled loudly, and both Arriston and I read from our flexis. “I wish to...

POV: Azaryn. Cybrex Alpha.
For the first time, I took a breath from the wondrous air of the Cybrex Ringworld. I had heard of the Cybrex in passing; they were among the youngest of the extinct precursor civilizations. They predated my homeworld by 100,000 years, and yet their name still...
Threadmarks: Chapter #66: The First Signs of the Succession War

POV: Arthur Sinclair.
I watched as the third XJF carefully hovered through the Stargate. So far, we had constructed 12 of the fighters, though we only had three cloaking devices to install at the moment, and we weren’t quite ready to start mass-disassembling Tel’taks to get the parts...

POV: Arthur Sinclair.
The air was tense. The fleet heading for the Inner Sphere had made its last stop before reaching what is expected to be a habitable world.
At first, it was planned to go straight to Terra. The plan was quickly changed upon discovering what HPGs do to subspace...

POV: Arthur Sinclair.
I once more poked at my nose, only to wince as the cartilage shifted under my ministration. I returned my hand to my side as I followed Elder James into the room. Inside, Arriston and Arktos were waiting.
Ma’chello was busy working on other projects. He had begun...

POV: Thor.
As the communication from President Arriston ended, I immediately called for a meeting of the High Council.
The Covenant. They were an… interesting group. Religious societies were always the most difficult to communicate with.
My transporter activated, and I once more...
