Important NOTES : This novel contains some difficult to understand terms, but don't worry! I'll be posting several definitions of them through the Auxiliary Volume.

So maybe 300 or more? Second, this one is considered as Yuri, GL Third, I'll be using real-life aviation movements during dogfights (please correct me if I'm inaccurate). Fourth, there would be sensitive materials such as brutal scenes, gore, and sex scenes (I mean it). Finally, there would be YouTube links at the beginning of each chapter that would recommend music that I handpicked so you could feel the atmosphere of the chapter. *I do not own any of the music, if you are the creator and you want me to remove them, feel free to comment, and I shall do so [This original novel is highly inspired by various materials such as star wars, mass effect, stellaris, and my own love for space]
