A ragtag pirate crew just snagged a prize so hot it could ignite a multi-dimensional war. Stirred up by alien threats, all kinds of humans spring into action - spies, shady fences and military assault teams all struggle to get their hands on the loot, each for their own purpose. Can the pirates navigate a web of lies, hidden motives and intergalactic politics before the aliens unleash their wrath on their home, a refuge of humanity on the fringes of the galaxy? Intergalactic is a unique SciFi setting telling the story of humanity not as the dominent species. It explores an alternative answer to the question "where is everybody?" that puzzles contemporary astronomy. It also visits derelict space stations, multi-dimensional space and some of the amazing (many taken from real science) things that exist out there in the universe. New chapters are posted every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
