Interstellar Age

Chapter 365 War is Our Way of Life

War... War was a natural part of the human existence. It was, in a way, the pinnacle of humanity's struggle to survive in this universe. And while there were some species across the galaxy that were the exact opposite in humanity, insofar as they were pacifistic.

Their civilizations did not tend to last long, as peace was contingent upon all parties agreeing to such a concept. But the Germanic race was a breed of humans most well known for their capabilities on the battlefield.

For thousands of years, the Germanic peoples fought wars among themselves and their neighbors. Mastering the ways in which another man can be killed, and spreading their lineage across their home continent of Europe.

Only to grow bored of such efforts and instead sail across the Earth's vast oceans. Where the other nationalities they had spawned fought within every jungle and desert known to man at the time.

There they Conquered the majority of human civilizations that existed at the time, and forced the others to submit beneath their influence. And once the Germanic peoples and thier bastard offspring had finished spreading their power and influence across the Earth, only then did they turn on themselves and fight two of the most destructive wars in human history.

Two wars I might add that not only ended European hegemony, but broke the German warrior spirit that had so encompassed their culture for over 2,000 years. To understand the Germanic Star-Empire, one must first understand where they had come from. And how they had evolved into an empire that was commonly referred to as "An Army with a State."

It was perhaps because of these violent origins that the concept of peace was alien to the Germanic Star-Empire and its people. Rather than disdain war, and the loss of life it resulted in, the GSE celebrated it. They reveled in it.

Few of its citizens would ever consider their time in the armed forces as anything other than a glorious period of their lives. And though Erich was one of these men, he had learned to overcome his dread, and instead look forward to the power and prosperity of his people. Something that could only occur through war.

After all, the universe may be a vast place, full of infinite resources, but there were many civilizations competing for these resources. And one could only make use of the resources they possessed to expand their society.

Thus, when Erich, who had only been Supreme Leader of the Germanic Star-Empire, called upon his people to march to war. They did so with fierce resolve in their hearts and minds. Once Lunaria had given Erich permission to wave the banners of war, only then did he send his fleet into the hostile territory of his enemies.

What resulted could have been anticipated by those few who knew of Tia's existence, and how she had been secretly upgrading the Germanic Star-Empires and its capabilities. Primary of which was its capacity to engage in violence.

In his past life, Erich had directly participated in the battle which broke the Ennochian Fleet. It was a battle that spanned across half a day, and resulted in not only the loss of 3/4s of the Ennochian Navy, but decimated those of their vassals as well.

The result in this timeline was shocking, to say the least. While the Geramnic Star-Empire and the Ennochian Theocracy were both rated as Tier I Regioanl Powers by the Galactic Power Index. It was abundantly clear that this ranking failed to consider the overwhelming difference in military power the GSE had over its "Peers."

If not for the small scale of their empire, and the finite resources within it. The GSE would easily rank among the lowest rungs of the Sub-Galactic Powers. Or so one would have thought. But in this timeline, a battle that everyone knew would result in a Germanic Victory, turned into a massacre.

By the time the Ennochian Fleet and that of their vassals made contact with the Germanic Fleet, it took all of fifteen minutes for every single one of their ships to be annihilated. The entirety of the Ennochian Navy, and those of their Allies, was obliterated without leaving a single dent on even the lowest level of Germanic Capital Ships, which was, of course, their Corvettes.

The entire system had been turned into a starship graveyard. Truly becoming a salvager's wet dream. And immediately after claiming their victory over the Ennochian Theocracy, the Germanic Star-Empire did not, in fact, lay siege to the world that existed at the farthest fringes of their borders.

instead, they spooled up their warp drives and jumped deep into Ennochian Space, heading straight to their capital in order to bring the Ennochian Government to its heels with a surgical strike on their homeworld.

As for those other civilizations which watched the war unfold from the safety of their own domains. They trembled in fear at the military feat which the Germanic Star-Empire had accomplished on this day.

In fact, many of the more powerful civilizations across the Milky Way, had begun to suspect that the Germanic Star-

Empire, and the Alfheim dominion were lying when they claimed the GSE's overwhelming victory against the Terminus Hive Fleet, was the result of an ancient weapon which had been destroyed in the battle.

But this was just the beginning of the war. Once the Ennochian Theocracy and its Allies were knocked out of contention, which would happen within a span of a single day by the standard of the galactic calendar.

Then, the Germanic Star-Empire would turn its sights on the Sub-Galactic Power known as the Yokai Ascendency, and in doing so send a message to the Ghimderi Trade Union and any other civilizations which sought to destroy the Empire and its way of life.

"War is our way of life..."

Something that the galaxy would have to remember if they ever thought they could compel the Germanic Star-Empire and its new Supreme Leader into submitting with a simple threat of conflict.
