The True Inheritor

In a galaxy torn apart by war, Kia Mercer, a gifted ship designer and mechanic, wants nothing more than to keep his head down and his hands busy. But with the Stellar Union locked in a brutal conflict against the Coalition—an alliance of rebellious human settlements—Kia is conscripted into service, forced to apply his expertise to the Union’s war machine.



Everything changes when a routine salvage mission leads him to the discovery of an ancient warship buried deep within a forgotten world. Unlike anything seen in modern spacefaring civilizations, the vessel is a relic of a lost empire, brimming with dormant technology far beyond the reach of humanity’s warring factions. More than just a ship, it holds the last remnants of a once-great civilization—and it has chosen Kia as its inheritor.



As he unlocks the secrets of the ship and its people’s legacy, Kia finds himself caught between the ambitions of the Stellar Union, the desperate resistance of the Coalition, and those who would see the lost technology erased from history. But the warship isn’t just a relic—it’s a weapon powerful enough to change the course of history. With the fate of the galaxy in his hands, Kia must decide whether to bow to the demands of the present or forge a new future from the ashes of the past.
