MC1 Teaser
Flight log
En route from Regency Ringstation, 2824, year 624 of the Emperor
Traditionalists attacked several convoys of ours, perhaps of retaliation. I ordered the delivery of medical supplies to be cut. If the earthlings want it that way, they can have it.
Our special projects are on time.
Skyscraper project: the slums have been demolished and construction of the foundations can begin. Thanks to Phoebe, the residents can later move into the new apartments free of charge. With her past, i'm not surprised she's so giving.
Leisure ship project: my brother oversees the progress and told me our competitors delivered bad alloy quality, he was outraged. The launch will take place as soon as possible though.
Terraforming: our supervisor demands more ForestBots to work on the surface. I'll have the nearest factory send him a large batch. Cloud seeding will commence soon he added. First animals have been settled.
I'm on my route and getting close to systems I can't stand. I hate it when businesses don't use holographor and I need to show up personally. The next time Zoella sends me from one end of the Empire to the other, I'll have her disassembled. I know I'm overexaggerating, this crazy droid is like inventory, she belongs to us.
If everything is proceeding like now, the seat in the Council of Eternity will be ours. Father will be proud.
We have never been closer to the Emperor.
What could possibly go wrong?
Fifteen minutes later, red lights flashed that were accompanied by a deep, repeating sound.
"In the middle of nowhere? I don't even have identification, what is this about?"
Proximity Alert! E.T.A. three minutes.
What you can expect from MC1
⚠️ Spoiler warning - if you don't want to know anything, stop reading any further⚠️
Space Opera
The novel focuses on the head of a influential family which competes with others to reach an important once-in-a-lifetime goal in an Empire that is fuelled with ambition.
Experience the struggle between the new centre of mankind, Regency, and a left alone Earth.
Shattered by wounded pride and melancholy, Earth traditionalists (also called lunartics by other citizens) reject the idea to leave the solar system and demand the Emperor to return to the roots of humanity.
First Contact
Humanity is in contact with one species alone, the First, as they are sometimes being called.
They have been located by the Empowered at the Great Expedition that took place when humanity entered the Dionysus system.
The First live on Kuul, the sister planet of Regency and consist of three nations, the Muzuno, Soma and Drowor. Another group are the Azidi, First who live in free cities and colonies throughout the system. A friendship evolved, that spans over five hundred years so far.
Verbally it is near to impossible to learn their language that consists of whistles and hissing through their three esophagus, so humans rely on mental connection to them.
Alien name revelation coming soon!
Hard Sci Fi
MC1 is going to be as logic as possible when it comes to technology, society and economy.
Humanity lives in a free, prosperous and saturated society that form an imperial federation led by an Emperor who is loved by many.
Nano-technology allows humans to reach incredible ages. They cherish the youth and call it primarius, the most important time in life.
Humanity profited a great deal though from the alien race they are friends with. They granted humans the knowledge of faster space travel, resource mining and even mega engineering, but never weapons technology.
Soft magic system
Humans have evolved when they bred super cells and connected them to the brain via their adaptyr technology. First unaware of it's capabilities, a small group surrounding the Empowered, learned how to unfold it's mental force.
In three consecutive ceremonies in the primarius, each time one adaptyr is being implemented in the head.
A lot of humans don't use adaptyr and reject it's powers, especially earthlings who call them "magic holes".
Some lost adaptyr users are fed strong visions by cults that either kills them or makes them perfect perpetrators for attacks.
