Broken Empire: Volume 1

Humanity has spread to other worlds, yet in its ambition it's unity shattered, if it was ever even there to begin with. Humanity's domains remain split between the United Alliance of Planets and the Conglomeration of Corporate Authorities. The two governments lash out at each other in ceaseless conflict, at the cost of countless lives. Furthermore, the war has left a power vacuum closer to home, as a terrorist organization known as the Syndicate rises to power. However, they are nearing a turning point in the war. Ryan Kent, Greg Clarkson, Kelly Clarkson and Stacey Black are among those graduating from Apium Academy into the UAP Navy. They begin to see that there is more at play as graduation comes and passes, and the real war reveals enemies not before perceived, and factions not yet revealed.
