Chapter 1
Nychus

I stared lazily at the holo screen, slouched over in my seat. Combatants of both sides of the war, a red tide of Ssik and an ordered mess of Allies. I poked around the screen, zooming in and out of different parts. If I tapped one of the higher ranking Allies and the most infamous of Ssik, I could find their Skinta data file. Trrok Vnesh. Species undocumented, referrs to self as a Flinnis. 251 Years old. *This scarred veteran has a mysterious past and a future in the Allies hall of fame*. Polonuter Fytonol Torusolo. Isthisox. 5 years old. *Polonuter is a new recruit. His kind has an average life span of fifteen years.* Marcus Nychus the 999th. Nychus. 37 years old. *The current ruler of the Nychus monarchy and head of the Allies council. He came into power at the death of his father in 120972 at the age of 28. Nychus prefers to fight alongside his men, rather than strategize behind the scene. More info?* I stopped myself from grinning. My father was really a great guy. Our monarchy had lasted almost 60,000 galactic years. That's almost half the known galactic history. I figured I'd check who he was fighting. Ssik'Liih'Hmmal-Thox of the Mandibular Moon. No further information. Man, those Ssik had long names.

As I pondered the Ssik and their titles the unthinkable happened. Hmmal pierced my father's throat with his blade. I watched, unmoving, unthinking as my father's hologram fell before my eyes.

My dad was dead.
