 - No levels, experience points, or OP MC.

Fun little fact: Cratenia was a fictional country created by the Brazilian Army to act as OPFOR for the operation Suruamu, one of the first operations to feature the new light infantry heliborne brigades, a true combined arms exercise, some conspiracy theorists say that the whole operation was actually a coverup for a black ops operation against the CIA in the border with French Guiana, but that’s beyond me. <<less

Author's note (and kind of a disclaimer):
So this is my first time making a "short" story of some sort and I finally found the courage to go ahead and... more>> post it online. This story was based on my extreme love for anything sci-fi-related. If this gets even a tiny amount of interest, then I'll consider taking the general synopsis and turning it into an actual book. I would appreciate getting any type of feedback, whether good or bad -- and if there are any grammar mistakes, please feel free to point them out.

Update #1 (6/30/21) - I put quotations around "short-story", as it is a little long. It's probably going to separate into 3 parts (or chapters), and for now, I'm going to put in the first part and see what kind of feedback I get. Hope you guys like it. Also, the title is a working title, as I'm not too sure about it either.

What if the great war never ended? For 70 years, the major powers have fought across the Earth. The United Allies, The Kingdom Alliance, The Central Empire, the big three nations. They destroyed our homeworld with their bombs, their gas, their nuclear fire. Now we've pushed out into the stars, beyond our planet and then our solar system. The year is 1991, and the Great War rages ever more fiercely in the asteroid belts, on the moons, deep in the labyrinthine halls of industrial orbitals, and in the strange mud of distant planets. For every colony and station destroyed in the war, two more take their place, full of desperate people trying to survive. That's... more>> life for many an unfortunate, slaving away in mines, factories, Agri-stations, or onboard merchant ships desperately trying to stave off starvation for one more day in some far flung system.

There are others too. Outlaws, exiles, secessionists and rebels. They live in the fringes, on the edge of the jump gate system. They're either hidden from the major powers, or ignored for lack of strategic value. Space stations that were forgotten long ago, failed colonies, asteroid mines that ran dry. This is the type of place where Marauders are born. Pirates, terrorists, free men and women, what they are is up for debate, but it can be said with certainty that their numbers are growing. This is the story of one of those Marauders, his first foray into the wide world of stealing from and shooting it out with the major powers. Hero? Villain? It doesn't mean much at the edge of nowhere, Guppy just wants an apartment and a cheese burger. <<less
