Episode 13 – Shadows of the Void Fleet

Location: Deep Void, Sector 93 – Hidden Space Dock "Eclipse Nest"

The stars drift silently outside a hidden asteroid belt.

But inside the black rock?

A massive forge glows.

Hundreds of invisible drones, AI welders, and engineers work non-stop on something terrifying.

> A fleet.

Not of defense—

but dominance.

The Birth of the Void Armada

Aarav stands inside the command room of Eclipse Nest, wearing a matte-black suit.

Holograms float around him—designs of warships, carriers, and stealth jump drives.

His system speaks:

> [PROJECT: VOID ARMADA]

Objective: Universal Trade Control

Method: Interstellar presence, fleet intimidation, stealth conquest

Stage: 12% Complete

Special Blueprint Unlocked: Celestial-Class Dreadnought Carrier

Aarav points at the main ship design:

> "No windows. No flags. No names.

Ghost ships in the dark.

No one should know who we are… until it's too late."

Liora's Role – Face of Peace, Shadow of War

In the City of Lumora, now the most advanced and independent city-state, Liora announces new "peace trade corridors" between systems.

She smiles on screens across the solar system. A diplomat. A hero.

But what the galaxy doesn't know…

> Behind her broadcast,

three Void Carriers jump to orbit silently, ready to enforce new trade taxes under the table.

And those who disobey?

> Their transports vanish in "accidents."

Their moons suffer "resource leaks."

They fall in line.

Aarav's Secret Empire Begins

Aarav sets the system's commands:

> [Create 12 Void Fleets]

Each with its own stealth carrier

AI Fleet Commanders

Quantum supply chains

Cloaked resource collectors

The System responds:

> [Processing…

Estimated Time to Galactic Shadow Presence: 19 Solar Days]

He smiles:

> "The universe will think it still runs on politics and diplomacy…

But in truth… it runs on fear.

My fear."

Final Scene: Testing the Power

A small planet blocks trade routes and refuses his influence.

Liora offers peace talks.

They laugh.

3 hours later, an entire moon near the planet disappears—pulled into a black hole created by an experimental Void Weapon.

> No fingerprints. No signals.

Just silence.

They surrender the next day.

Aarav adds a new rule into his system:

> [VOID PROTOCOL 03: "No One Knows Who We Are. Only What We Can Do."]
