on . Posted in AE Stories

The Fall of Cybele by SchrödingerAdmiral Archibald couldn’t believe this. They seemed to have popped out of nowhere. A thousand Leviathans… Enough to blast away every habited planet of the Empire ten times over, Archibald deliberated over the thought. But a thousand Leviathans? Archibald still couldn’t shake off the idea that this…

A Day in the Life of a Pirate

on . Posted in AE Stories

A Day in the Life of a PirateI got my ship the same way most pirates get theirs, "inherited" from the previous captain.  Captain Johns was a pickle of a man, craggy face full of warts, with a sour personality to match.  God rest his soul.  Only time I ever missed him was when I needed the control codes to ship.  It was a pain reinstalling the operating system, but well worth having command over the ship.  The HMS Redoubt is the finest of the line...that is, when she was built.  The Reddy, as she's called by the crew, (I once tried to get them to call it "The Ready" to signify she was always ready, but it didn't take.  Pirates, what can you say, have no sense of style.) is an over-thrusted destroyer.  She's undergone several...alterations...over the years, and not the finest work. Originally captured as a "prize" during a successful raid of a shipyard in a back-water planet, she had already seen the measure of her years.  Sold to the lord of the system for what I'm sure was a "very good price", she was well past her prime and ready for retirement.  But starships aren't cheap, even ones that aren't capable of extra galactic travel.  So I'm sure that's why she was in the shipyard for the thirteenth time undergoing a refit and repairs when she was captured, lucky for us, unlucky for them.…

Memories of a death star

on . Posted in AE Stories

Memories of a death star I am what people call a legend, I am what people call a god, I am what people call a demon. People call me many things, I don't care. I know what I am, I'm neither a legend nor a god. I'm a human, a captain. I am the captain of a Death Star! A ship that only the most strongest of men, can set foot on. A ship that only the strongest of men can build. A ship that is as large as a moon and as powerful as a god. A ship that can devour planets, like suns. In my life, I have experienced many thing. Saw the fall of many empires and kings. Truly, everything has an end. My name is Captain Victor Angelo, people call me the Angel of Death! For so long, I've commanded my Death Star. It's not only my spaceship but also my brother. I've never had a brother, I've never had a family!…
