Children of the Hollow Stars

In the far reaches of space, answers are currency—and some truths were buried for a reason.



After unearthing fragments of ancient cosmic intelligence—the Hollow Stars—humanity was invited to join the Silver Council, a ruling force of ancient, enigmatic power presiding over a fragile interstellar order of the universe's intelligence species. Their gifts: protection, prosperity, and a place among the stars. Their price: silence, secrecy, and servitude.



To maintain this order, the Council tasked its protectors.

Enforcers maintain planetary peace.

Blades chase lawbreakers across galactic borders and their starlanes.

But few ever return the same.



Sergeant Pierce Gage, a “Blank” whose mind lacks the spark of humanity, leads the Cloudjumpers—an elite Sword Company unit with a reputation for success and scars to match. His team includes a sharp-tongued Martian engineer, a loyalty-driven AI pilot haunted by human emotion, and soldiers forged in warzones no one talks about anymore.



As their missions spiral deeper into the undercurrents of empire, Pierce begins to suspect the Council’s protection may be little more than a gilded cage—and the Hollow Stars might not be dead history, but something still watching.



War is coming. Not between species or nations, but between those who know the truth...

And those still willing to chase the lie.
