Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com.

For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Chp-65: Negotiations(Threats)
At one point early on during my tenure as a governor, I cursed the universe upon my realization that I would have to engage in politics.
This was, of course, after I had a mental breakdown or three in my room over being dragged into another reality, never to see...
Chp-64: Kailin
Abraxas Thorne
Minda System, Ugea, Accordia
There were many streets in the city of Accordia. 1,758, to be precise. Of those, 1,382 were named streets, boulevards, roads and thoroughfares. The remaining 376 were unnamed alleys, side streets, and sky-bridges.
Like the ones that...
Chp-63: Green Reckoning
You know who I never expected to have to fight?
Darna.
Not in a real fight, no. I went down to the range once and saw her there. Whipping a blaster pistol around like a cowboy faster than I could blink.
No, instead I’m forced to call her because she doesn’t want to...
Nah it hasn't been listed just yet. In terms of ships properly slated for construction, there is a pre-order list of around 300 ships in total. Most are corvettes and frigates, some are cruisers. The current ships planned are the Vigil-Class Corvette, Raider-Class Corvette, and the Imperial...
Chp-62: A Thorne in My Side
My neck craned upwards as I watched the Lambda-class shuttle fly downwards towards the landing pad.
Well, I say landing pad, but it was really more of a hangar at this point. The capitol building tower seemed to always be growing, partially to handle administrative...
Chp-61: A Mountain of Flimsi
Trade. Deals. Politics.
The kind of stuff that was actually decently interesting, the kind of stuff I liked to mess around with in 4x games. Not that I was very good at them. My Endless Space 2 save files can attest to that.
Hell, if my reincarnation/isekai...
Chp-60: Schemes Galore
???
Minda System, Ugea, Rolling Greens
They walked through the city, observing the thriving marketplaces and well-kept roads.
They saw the miles and miles of farmland stretching out from the city, stopping only at the base of the mountains that surrounded the valley. On...

Chp-59: The Unseen Hand and the Iron Fist
Darna Sabrir
Edin System, Highreach, Edinspire
Once again, Darna sat at her desk wondering how the Governor ever did it. Edin’s population was barely half of Minda’s, but the amount of work she had to do felt monumental.
Sure, there were countless...
Chp-58: Two Kinds of Battle
Myr'thos, Kaela
Minda System, Ugea, Accordia
Right jab, left cross.
Both dodged within centimeters.
Grant lashes out with a low kick, and Myr'thos deftly jumps over it, nary more than a light hop.
Now, a counterattack.
Myr'thos's posture lowers, ancient muscles...
Chp-57: The Weight of Judgement
So many projects. So much work.
If all the reports, contracts, and various other documents I was dealing with were physical in nature, I would have comically large stacks surrounding me at all times.
The kind that falls over in cartoons.
Thankfully, printed...
Chp-56: Refinement & Reconnaissance
Yop Calio
Minda System, Ugea, Accordia
Walking down the hallways of the R&D department, Yop considered his current assignment.
In the meeting hall down at the other end of the building sat a group of engineers from RHE. Apparently, the Governor had been...
Chp-55: The Blueprint of Tomorrow
I stared at Oioro.
She stared back.
Neither one of us spoke for a few seconds.
“...How much?”
“9 billion.”
“How.”
She smiled this smug little smile that tore me between wanting to pinch her cheeks or punch her in the face.
Honestly leaning towards the...
Chp-54: Spy’s and Tie’s
Darna Sabrir
Edin System, Edinspire
A few taps of her terminal, and a mercenary company was doomed to financial failure.
They had reached too far. Gobbling up contracts, then completing them half-assed. Rude to Guild Staff, and there were some among them that were...
Chp-53: Wood and Work
Commander Kaela Grant
Minda System, Ugea, Accordia
For the first time in a while, Kaela walked around the Mindan capital on foot. Without her armor or uniform.
Only her holdout pistol remained in her boot.
It was…strange.
It had been a week since her…breakdown…in the...
