The Stranded Pearl

It begins in the Year 640 N.P of June, fifty years after the last Great War was fought between the superpower alliance, and then adversaries, of The Iron Cross and A.T.L.A.S. The World is finally at a shaky peace, though there are the occasional hiccups of humanity's hubris of the odd terrorist organisation doing mischief here and there, or the other petty territorial skirmish between small or large nations also here and there, or even the occasional planetary dispute of two of the largest powers over territory in the literal nowhere part of space. Either way, despite the organised chaos, it is a much better world than it was prior to that era of peace. Especially in the age of Interstellar Colonisation and Expansion of Humanity. In which cooperation is very much needed to allow humanity to finally break out of its carapace called the Solaris System, and finally give their motherland, Earth, a new green and blue friend. Luckily for them however, humanity isn't doing as bad as predicted in the 21st century of doom and gloom. Humanity has expanded and has reached for the stars quite literally. They have colonised and terraformed multiple planets and moons, used the powers of the stars for near infinite energy, created technologies bordering scientific fiction and the supernatural... Yet... They are alone in the vast stars. No-one is there, but them, and them alone standing at the peak of Everest. At that point, humanity has accepted the fact that they are truly alone. Though there were times of false alarms, there were none. It has even got to the point of, whether or not to dismantle the large military of humanity if the closest threat they got is among themselves and prevent another Great War in the stars. Not that they would though, humanity of course will keep its fangs if threatened. And those fangs were about to be answered, together with whether or not humanity is truly alone in the universe with the presence of one of their colonies, System 698-Beta. Who is about to witness an unexpected and violent First Contact, in the first and most definitely not last, in human history. This will be a slow paced story that will take its time with its characters and their interactions with the environment and to themselves. This include relationships and fights, and since the story included elements of Cyberpunk and Space Opera, the Action genre trails behind close to the two, but will be given time to developed and allow some breaks for the characters to breathe.  Upload Schedule will be every Friday or Saturday Also available at; https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/the-stranded-pearl-og-story.1332971/ https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/the-stranded-pearl-original.159407/ You can also support me either at; https://ko-fi.com/polariskkurose https://www.patreon.com/cw/THE_BARGE
