    The Terran fleet, vastly outnumbered by the sleek, heavily armored warships of the Vanduul, seems pitiful. The Vanduul, a race known for their arrogance and overwhelming firepower, charge in for an easy victory. But humanity, underestimated and ingenious, has a secret weapon: a massive network of undetectable mines hidden throughout hyperspace, sown by their nimble, expendable ships. The Vanduul, trapped in a kill zone of their own making, must face the wrath of a human race fighting for survival.

    Ignore those complaining about you asking people to subscribed. These are the type of people that when given $20 from a complete stranger when spend the rest of the day complaining and in a bad mood that it wasn't $25. You're putting out good stories in a HUMAN voice and just trying to grow your channel. Best of luck.

      Nah. The reason to ignore them is... because it works. Plenty of youtubers have shown statistical data to show what happens the moment they say it as opposed to not. It.
      Works.

      @@pheonixblue01 With some sort of explanation it can be done well. In Ralt's Bloodthrone's First Contact series the tech to herald your fleet's arrival is in use my many factions. My favorite is the terran fleets. Who somehow make flat surfaces resonate out the battle cry "HEAVY METAL IS HERE" when they enter the system and are going to throw down.

    Those complaining about the mid vid msg: I totally understand but people skip the beginning and end msgs/requests. By putting it in the middle most of us are just listening not looking at the screen and their request will actually reach the audience. It’s also very efficient, words are chosen carefully so the interruption is only a few seconds. I think we can spare a few seconds for one of the few quality storytelling channels.
    Have a heart guys.

    I completely agree with jstone4351. Ignore those who complain you are asking people to subscribe. Your requests to subscribe are appropriate and tasteful. And asking for the customer's business is a time honored and accepted tradition. So is a commercial in a TV show, and you only ask once. You do a really great job with your human voice. So in the words of my generation (60's-70's),
    KEEP ON KEEPING ON!

    Curious thought came to me...why didn't the crew of the Dauntless secure the power units from the escape pods? Certainly would have given them time to perhaps make critical repairs? Good story, I am binge watching all your stories, about 90% better than any others.

    I admire your work. It is very well done.
    I wonder if you have ever considered that occasionally earth wins because of wily, somewhat questionable tactics? I mean -- what if galactic predators, the bane of the galactic council, were running rampant, subjugating races and destroying things let earth alone because it appeared neutral, but had a secret agreement with the aliens to build the ships and war materials for the aggressors? The aggressive aliens were making more and more inroads, taking more and more territory and the galactic council was weak and unable to cope.
    But after a century, the alien predators slowly faced equipment and system failures. They started small, but grew and grew worse. In less than a decade, the villains of our story were losing badly, their fleets in disarray, equipment behaving badly, communications sketchy at best, until....
    Well, things started blowing up. Fusion reactors ignited and wiped out massive portions of the home planets of the aliens. In another decade, they were grounded and pounded back to the stone age.
    And earth remained neutral. It was prospering more than ever.
    It turns out that earth corporatism saved the day (or, in this case, the century). You see, in order to make more profit, the manufacturing facilities of earth catering to those horrid invaders, used cheap shoddy materials, skimped on processing costs and shorted the quality control inspection processes -- but they did it in such a way that there was an undeclared shelf life of... you guessed it: 100 years.
    The behind the scenes look at the end would find conspiracy collaboration of corporatism where the government and corporations became totally corrupt. Of course, they still made very high quality lasting products, but kept those on earth. Presidents and CEOs insured the directors and supervisors would hire just the right low level poorly trained employees for minimum wage in the factories of the off planet divisions making these poorly made highly engineered products guaranteed to work perfectly right up to the end of the warranty. Dissatisfied customer aliens? We're so sorry, your warranty has expired. We don't make those parts that failed any more.
    The galactic council prospered and never knew why. Earth was finally allowed to join, but only as associates because the council was suspicious of the relationship the earth seemed to have with those pesky invaders, little knowing that earth was the hero and saved them, but quietly remained anonymous in their efforts to save the galaxy through subterfuge.

    So, a so ship drops mines behind it and suddenly the ship is inaccessible from any other direction? What happened to going around the mines? Or did that mine field bisect the universe?
    IMO, you'd be better served finding original, public domain, stories than relying on AI generated fiction. I pop in periodically because i think it's interesting to find the glaring plot holes and heavily tortured metaphors. Regardless, good luck with your channel! I hope you're able to discover that magic combination of factors that makes it successful.

    I would take a little tiny engine from like a computer council or something like that. To recharge. The battery in a bicycle fashion. Would you give fashion a make and have some pedal? A bike for a couple hours to get a kilo. A lot of battery and it keeps off switching and out of my key in the place, using 450 W of it to make. And then from there. I use lighting systems which I use private but 25 W for a light and find out how to fix the ship. One system at a time, starting with the controls and engines, as well as medical. Which would end up using a lot of Watts? But for now, you can charge several batteries and of people bicycli'm just quite easy to make something out of a computer little motor thing and some magnets. Of course, you'd have to use prior electric record for a bicycle, pedal or chain, I should say.
    OR you do something in that factor?
