UNITED WORLDS (Human) – Milky Way.

The second member of Galactic League. When almost wholly conquered by the Neo States at the earth, Felidean comes from space to help, they helped humankind, starting with the giving of super-advanced aerospace technology. Multiethnic mankind's organization was changed to the United Worlds when the space colonies began. They have thousands of colonies from terraformed planet to space station across the Milky Way, with trillions of human populations. Thirteen allies consist of; African Union, Centric Bloc, European Lineage, Kingdoms of Commonwealth, Latin Order, The Outsiders, Pacific Unity, Orient Dynasty, Sinai Ring, Slavic Blood, Southeast Association, Southern Nations, and United of America. A colony can have more than one alliance, while most colonies use two time format; Earth Time or E.T. and their own star system time.

NEO STATES (Neo-Human) – Milky Way.

At the 21st century, humans were divided into two sub-species: Human and Neo-Human. It started from a hidden movement of scientists in the Neogenesis Laboratory—also called The Dark Lab—by a secret institution in the development of Super Genetic Human and was located in Antarctica. The State Company was named Neo State based on the high technology—law of The Corporation-State, were every person abilities and behavior are recorded with limited privilege. States are ruled by skilled people based on their achievement records and not politic. Neo-humans were created with various experiments with almost no bioethics and born with the best DNA. Similar to Vampires' appearance in myth, they have pale skin, long canines, colorful hair even though most are black, and blue-white eyes that glow especially in the dark, with superior cunning abilities, powerful muscles, and incredible night vision—but that makes their eyes and skin sensitive to light. They live on a strict protein diet of meat and fruit. Their ruler was a brown human named the King, who continued to be cloned with new bodies and immortalize.

GAIGA CLAN AND WATCHER (Felidean) – Milky Way.

The first member of Galactic League. Elders of GaiGa Clan was the most tremendous power in the Milky Way. The Elders at Felidean, consisting of seventy individual Felidean leaders in various star systems, communicate through an inter-space-time technology called Telepathy.

Not like an ordinary Felidean, Elders live almost forever with a strict diet of holy fruits. There were only fifty left because twenty elders had rebelled to become Star Rangers. Felideans are creatures like big cats that have many color races; some are tailed and some are not, shaped like humans with elegant bodies and cute faces. There are giants, human-sized, and dwarf Felidean with big ears. GaiGa have guardians of pure giant noble species from the Milky Way called Marvelan or Marvel, which are Pure-Human, Pure-Kian, Pure-Utan, and more.

CYBER AUTOCRACY or CENTRAL (Android) – Milky Way.

The third member of the Galactic League. This AI nation was created by the collaboration between Felidean and Humans. The Androids are smart as the human brain can achieve. They were independent and pure humanoid machines. They became galaxy guards and were made to specifically fight the Star Ranger. Their main weapon was a cyber attack and robotic engineering. They’re all controlled from Central, the main core. With variety of armies like Silver army, Cancri army from the diamond planet, Neon army, etc.

STAR RANGER (Diversified Cyborg of multispecies) – Milky Way.

The machine created by the Elders who rebelled from the Watcher. The rebels are poisoned and live for a short time. They create an automatic factory that manages, makes, and modificate other creatures in the galaxy to become a loyal brainwashed cyborg army, a combination of the best between flesh and machine, with the aim of revenge to the long lifespan Watcher. The Ranger are disciplined by the Mothers. With cyberpunk works, they have much division from STARS—which is a Human cyborg—Wasps—the female’s cyborg—Animals cyborg in any size, and many more.

SANCTUARY EMPIRE (Diversified multispecies).

Called as Constellations Empire by Human. Combined with the power that controls between galaxies, they evolved to replace their elders, headed by an Emperor of unknown origin; they came from a combination of galaxies deep in Supercluster to fight Elders, Dragon, Abaddon, and anything that stand in their way. They are the most progressive coalition of various creatures—with different celestial objects and weapons that have never been encountered by humans—built to conquer. Known kingdoms to human are Kingdom of AzuRa (Amphibian of Andromeda), Kingdom of LaZaRa (Reptilian of Triangulum), and Kingdoms of AvEn (Avian a mixed winged-like species of M81 group). They use madness inter-species breed slave’s army from captured alien of various planet.

DRAGON (Cursed Seraphim).

Hostile invader or cursed heavener. Also called Merc—pure energy creatures, they can possess other species to become Transgon; their spaceship is called Astrogon. The biggest Dragon is named as corrupted Seraphim or space serpent with the scale from an island to a planet, and can live in stars. They want to banish all sins from the universe, including themselves later. With the aim that after all wage of sins is paid, the Creator will forgive the cursed galaxies.

BLACK STAR (Cursed Abaddon).

Hostile invader or cursed heavener. The cell-evolver force. Their Majestic creatures live in force formed from dead stars or bottomless pit, call themselves as Maker, but others called them Destroyer. They control Grimmer (converted flesh) and Harvester (mixed metal and flesh). They love to deceive the outsider with lust and power. They want to convert all beings to become one with their mind, and finally stop all the sins as they dream, with the aim that the Creator will forgive the cursed galaxies after nobody has sinful thinking aftermath.

DIMENSIONAL KINGDOM (Holy Master of the three realms).

Unimaginable mastery system from Heaven realm, Creator of the World realm—the universe, and Underworld realm—the world with no worlds. The Holy Master control all of the realms by Words which is the Master itself. Cursed the Virgo supercluster that contains all troubled factions because of their free will that turned in chaos and sins. Instead of banishing the sinners completely, the Master let them live as example—so everyone else will learn from the sinners mistakes.

OTHER KNOWN FACTIONS WHICH ARE NOT MENTIONED BUT EXIST.

Other Fallen Angels, LheZer Clan (Humanoid Arthropodan from M81 group), MoMo Clan (Molluscan from M101 group, extinct because of Abaddon invasion), Freedom Fighter/FF (Mixed species race from Milky Way), The Warrior/ Bandit/ Avenger (Mixed alien species from space pirate), other Milky Way humanoid species like; Kian the Skinny wood-like yellow alien, Utan the hairy alien like ape, Pigin the big pig-like alien, Gnomen an ugly goblin alien, and much more.

PART 1: BROKEN COMPANY

CHAPTER 1

An order is received for a package to be delivered. But the package must be carried to a forbidden planet called the Apen—far away, a world that was once the best human colonies from the ES Alliance.

On a quiet day on planet Nova Anglia, which is one of the colonies of the Kingdoms of the Commonwealth faction, Marco Polo Domingo was lying on the couch, relaxed while looking at the white computer screen in the lightness of his working room. When the e-mail came in, he immediately sat straight up while looking at the source of the sound; the e-mail was sent from a nearby robot factory.

Marco got up and read the contents of the message: Attention, need a reliable package sender who braves enough for inter-planetary travel and will be paid dearly. If interested, come and meet directly in our office. No phone or mail. Will be paid as much as five billion gold coins credits.

He leaned for a moment on the chair and thought about the offer. He then rushed to meet his friend who was downstairs; as he descended the stairs, he saw Hendrik sitting while thinking.

Marco said to him Hey, amigo, there is a special order at a high price; I got it from our email. They ask us to meet in their office if we're interested.

Hendrik looked slowly at him, and then answered, Oh bollocks. Meet them? Why not just come directly to us? It seems like they have been rejected everywhere or might just be nonsense.

Marco said The address is accredited, came from special net-line and it can't be a scam. Are you sure no one is calling us?

Then their boss—Franky— came and broke down the door of the room and entered with an angry face. Franky said, Bloody hell! Debt collector came this morning. They asked for payment with interest, but we lack orders, and I can't pay them!

Before Franky finished speaking, Hendrik said, Hey, boss, so don't get drunk and lose too much gambling. Ha ha ha ha.

Hearing that, Franky was very angry and started to slap him, but Marco was blocking him. Indeed, their salary was also not paid; Franky, their boss, also had a debt to his employees.

Calm down, boss, we got an offer! Marco yelled at Franky.

Offer? All right, don't shout; I'm almost deaf. Jump to the point, how much is the payment? asked Franky as he quieted his emotions.

Five billion gold coin credits, Marco answered.

Franky became excited, but Hendrik was just silent—not believing—with his mocking laughter.

Where is the package? Is there a down payment? Franky asked excitedly.

No Marco replied, I mean not yet, we have to meet them.

Immediately Franky ordered him into the car, and both went to the address. They passed the night city, with mass tall buildings with the shape of a box and filled by underpass. Nova Anglia was a little bit cold, but the city has the shape of classic European buildings merged with futuristic architecture with lots of beautiful light, and dark tunnel. A big, amazing river divided the night city; their street lamps are very traditional. Their people dress in art mixed with future tech, which leads to the world of true modernization between cultural heritage and space-age—like most colonies. People there use flying motors and fast trains, but mostly wheeled vehicles. A future where everyone dreamed to live—a place full of automatize, free knowledge, innovation, luxury, and rapid technology. The address of the place was not too far away, and when they got there, they saw a large manufacturer owned by an independent, smart Android Robot nation called Cyber Autocracy, or also known as Central. On the inside there was not a single human; there were many strong robot guards inside. They allowed the two men to enter and directed them into a particular room.

* * *

An Android person named Ariana 65 came in; she looked like a human, but had a body of a silver machine. Her metal skin sparks the light reflection with the shape of a woman. They look similar to silver humans, like most Central Androids. They have different helmet shapes on their heads that look like a mixture of animals, but in the coolest way. Ariana with her bright white spectacles and beautiful humanoid face greet them in calm voices. She said, Greetings human. Please sit down. My name is Ariana.

Franky said, It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is . . .

She cut him and said I know who you are. I heard from the officer that you intend to deliver our package—is that right?

That's right, my andro lady; one hundred scores for you! I never heard of female Silver Army; I though they're all genderless, you're such a beautiful creation. Franky answered enthusiastically.

I see your point. Just like those robots, sometimes an android like me where created with extra purpose, she said.

What, extra purpose? Asked Franky.

Ignored his question, she continued, I think you know the risk because it suits the payment. We want the package to be delivered to planet Apen. Don't worry, you will obtain the best spacecraft from Central for your journey, and be tightly guarded under me. Long time ago, my ancestors came from Apen colonies, so I am really exciting."

Under you? Tight like thigh? Under you thickly tight thigh? Sure, sure, I want that, Franky replied.

With seductive look, she said, You're such a dirty man, I would love to you clean every part of your dirty body.

Marco became paranoid and asked, Excuse me, sorry, about the package, then why don't you take it yourself?

Franky grabbed Marco's mouth and said, Oh, shut up. Of course, because it is our work.

The Android continued Our army were banned there by Galactic League current policy. The place is in conflict and quarantined. Only non-faction and neutral people are allowed to enter but at their own risk.

Franky just thought about the money and said, Calm down, robot lady! Delivering packages even in the war zone I often do! It's even riskier than this, after all. Your payment is worth it like no other—another payment is poor. Is there an upfront payment?

When a thirst of money darkens his eyes, a man only thinks of himself; that's happened to Franky's mind, where many of his dreams came to appear in his head—a mind not enough gratitude. Not like another project that leads to tons of papers, this one seems simple.

Signatures First and upfront payment will go into your office account in the amount of ten percent of the total payment, replied the Android.

Franky was pleased to hear that; he signed the contract and thought, Incredible, a signature and all my debts disappeared.

The two then returned. Franky devised a plan to throw a party, but before that he wanted to prepare for the party. He began to invite many of his friends. Arriving at the office, they met two other employees, namely Hendrik and Monica.

Monica said Wait, boss, you suddenly throw a party and pay us three times. Will we be fired?

Franky laughed wide. He said No, have fun, all of you get paid because we got a new job! We will go next week, to a new planet.

Hearing that, Hendrik became worried and said Hey, boss, why not just send a drone or robot there? Why does it have to be everyone? Me, too?

Holding Hendrik's shoulder, Franky said Everything must go well, so everyone must come. This is a big project with expensive fees. Yes, Hendrik, you too, my most diligent man. If you don't join, you don't get paid! You lazy bastard.

That night there were many invited guests; seems like everyone is always ready to party in the night city of New Elizabeth—the office was even closed for the time. Many drinks and food were provided. Everything was made expensive, with many drinks and foods from variety of goods across the galaxy. They all danced and had fun. When the party ended, they all slept on their own room. For the next week, they began to prepare everything they needed. Franky began recruiting additional people and robots. The trip was not long, because the distance between the star-planet Apen system and their planet was not too far away. When everything was ready, Franky and his team arrived at the spaceport.

Marco! I haven't seen you for days, where have you been? Looking for your parents? Oh, my mum made biscuits; they're not very good, Hendrik said.

Days? I only slept for one night Marco answered confused.

Franky then came to greet them.

Franky then gave the name of his new team: The Chicken. Laughing and saying, The name of this team is officially The Chicken! Because after being fried in misery, we will get delicious chicken meat. Hah! Brilliant right?

They got a pretty futuristic and large space ship. The team also bought new equipment, cars, weapons, and several small planes and stored them inside the ship.

One of the crew, Monica, began to meet Franky and warned him, Boss, there is nothing I get.

Get what? Speak clearly, said Franky.

She answered, There isn't any news or information about the planet Apen colony and its territories. It all just disappeared from The Net—something was hidden.

They are in war again, Franky replied irritably. After all, this is not our business. We only carry packages. You know, the last time we heard years ago, there was a war between the United Worlds—which was a human faction—and a Star Ranger who attacked the Apen colonies. No need to worry; I'm old enough to go through things like this anyway. Stay with me; we will be fine.

* * *

Then when everything was ready to go, all goods had been transported. Ariana, who is Android Central, came to see that he was carrying some Silver Army, which was also an army version of Android. In space, the silver army dealt with space situations, their silver metallic skin glowing with the light reflection, like stars that are visible in space at night, a true cosmos being. The reflection of their skin made the chart of stars and moon glow like a glass ocean.

Marco asked Franky Why are there no UW soldiers? Are we not all humans?

Franky got angry again and answered, Never mind, you guys, don't worry. This is between Central and us; why should the UW government participate too, unnecessarily. We are quite legal and official with Central. They are also the closest human alliance against Star Ranger. So shut up and just come along!

Ariana arrived and said, This is your ship; we also follow, but from behind. When we reach the planet, we will meet guards outside the planet. They will allow only you to enter, so we just deliver and watch over you. Understood?

I'm ready boss! Franky replied to her. Seeing that Hendrik was standing near, he said with a tired face, Oh, so she's the boss of my boss, yeah.

Franky brought about fifty people besides his men from his office. They were mercenaries, engineers, scientists, explorers, and some other laborers. With those, Franky made a pretty good personal company—a delivery service company team called The Chicken. Franky also planned to build a more prominent company when he got home.

When all were filled, including a small box which was a package, everything then departed from their planet. Contracted with the same goal, which was only delivering packages.

Planet Apen, here we come! said a pilot of the ship.

Their spacecraft was powered by reliable energy-force power, a revolutionary technology that was only used by costly high-end ships, which were faster through light; with the help of artificial space markers and stars, they could determine navigation. The trip took several months, although the planet was not too far away. Their ship was only three hundred meters long, sixty meters wide and not too fast. Space travel—dreams of humans since ancient times—had now become ordinary traffic for the galaxy's most powerful species; like birds in the sky, the man-made ecosystem made its own journeys and brought back
