This book is a fan work based on the Stellaris mod EVE: The Empire of Ibud. Its plot and content do not represent the mod or the game's content or mechanics, and some parts draw on other mods. The details are not intended to be an accurate reference.
Let's stop deluding ourselves. Countless civilizations are gazing up at the sky just as we are. When we succeeded in making faster-than-light jumps, they didn't stand still either. Unless we abandon our fantasies and unite, we will never survive in this cruel sea of stars.
This is exactly what Eva can attest to firsthand. After she traveled to Flashpoint, joined the crew of the Nevis, and experienced one unexpected event after another, she learned that there would be no more peaceful coexistence.
P.S. This book was written for several steadfast leaders I encountered while playing Stellaris. It was one of those sudden projects inspired by getting emotional over my own imagination while playing. I have very little writing experience, so please go easy on me.
