The White Rose - Rise To Power

Summary:

Eloise Jensen is part of a secret society that protects The Confederation against enemies both foreign and domestic.

Notes:

This is a the first part of a saga set in the world of "Elite" (a video game from the early eighties, and possibly one of the best games ever released). It was the first series of stories I wrote, approximately fifteen years ago.

This is sort of a "Redux" version - it was originally posted on another site, and I am going to correct some of the problems as I repost it now.

Chapter 1: Rise To Power

Chapter Text


"Aggression is the best weapon in a fighters arsenal,
providing that it can be directed properly
Of all the things that can lay a person low,
there is nothing so dangerous as aggression misguided"

There were very few beings in the galaxy who could remember a time when they were not at war. Since the earliest days of humanity there had always been a threat, and with the death toll reaching nearly three billion in the last century the stakes were escalating.

Now, for the first time, there was hope. The scale of the attacks was lessening, the number dropping. And in the most recent battle the Navy had captured their first "remote craft" and could - finally - find out more about the alien threat known only as 'The Thargoids'
