Yes, I know.  It has been a long time since I posted any new chapters.  Unfortunately, this is not a new chapter.  I am officially going to be dropping this story, so do not worry about there being any new chapters.  I am doing this because I realized that it was going nowhere, I had no plans for it, my inspiration was gone and my inexperience when writing this led me to deviate from what I wanted this story to be too much.

     The good news is, I'm going to write a new story to replace this one.  It will have a similar, yet different premise.  Instead of a whole empire to control and expand, it will instead be humanity's first arkship equipped with the first E.R.B.E, Einstein Rosen-Bridge Engine, meant to be the first manned space vessel to travel outside the solar system and go to proxima centauri.  Let's just say, the "UNN Armstrongs" maiden voyage will take it from Earth a bit farther than expected.
