Star Citizen Online: Isekai Edition

"Interesting that there were so much information about their background in the data banks of the pirate ship. Also, what are the so-called scourges of the space that you mentioned?"

He then asked as the holographic projection of his A.I. continued her explanation.

"Basically, two species are categorized as Extragalactic Scourges of the Stars. Namely the Arachnid Swarm and Mind Flyers. Both of them are extremely dangerous and only a few Civilizations and Nations have enough power to repel them entirely.

Even some of the largest interstellar empires were brought down by a single Hive Fleet of Arachnids or by powerful Mind Flyer Warlord."

Hearing this made him a bit nervous because this was an entirely new addition, as within the Star Citizen Online, there was not even a single word about something like space bugs devouring entire civilizations or Mind Flyers enslaving entire worlds.

"And the Veredan Republic?"

Right now, there were only two possible choices for Arcturus to go, either to the Eternal Imperium of Asuryan or to the Veredan Republic.

The Crystallis Hegemony was basically a no-go because it belonged to the Crystallis Race, a Lithoid-Humanoid Species, and he didn't really wish to go to any other Type 2 Civilization that was in the vicinity.

And he wasn't very interested in going to the territories within the Type 1 or Type 2 Civilizations at all; with their primitive technology, there was no way, that they would even have the ability to provide fuel to his starship.

"Veredan Republic is a congregation of several species functioning on the democratic government. It is a huge opposite to the society of the Asuryan; their technology level is high, but not on the level of the Imperium, though they have far larger territory.

At the same time, it is to be noted, that the Republic is a deeply corrupt nation and highly ineffective; as long as one has money, there is nothing that is impossible to buy within the Republic, which leads to many unscrupulous elements getting into the power.

Right now, they are facing severe problems after the recent invasion by one of the Archanid Hive Fleets. Around ten years ago, they lost entire Star Segments and several thousands of planets of various Classes to the Arachnids, mainly due to their incompetence, but they managed to repel the Hive Fleet with the sheer numbers."

This wasn't really surprising; most of the democratic regimes became degenerated and corrupted as hell; at the same time, hearing that they only barely repelled the Arachnid Hive Fleet wasn't something that he wanted to hear.

While he was cutting his way through the pirate Light Cruiser, Alice was supplying him with information about the galaxy...

And the Arachnids were one of the scourges of the space and stars.

Nobody knew where they came from; aside from that they didn't originate from either of the mapped and known galaxies and were basically Extragalactical Species that were devouring everything in their path.

The lesser bugs were as stupid as they could get, but their upper caste was as intelligent as some of the most advanced Artificial Intelligences. Due to this, Arcturus didn't want to create a base in a nation that could be wiped out at any time.

From what he heard from Alice, the Republic paid a very hefty price in repelling the Hive Fleet and destroying the Hive. For that, the Asuryans were a much safer place, because their planets and space was much more secure.

At the same time, once he got the Citizenship of the Eternal Imperium of Asurya and as the Highborne at that, he would have a much easier time living in the Imperium.

While living in the spaceship wasn't actually that bad, he wanted to have a home on a real planet, not on a metal floating in the endless space. Perhaps after some time, he could even buy his own private planet...

That didn't sound bad, having a nice private world just for him, where he could build his home and enjoy some peace and solace.

Arcturus was intrigued by the society of the Eternal Imperium of Asurya... he knew that if he took the Gene Template Serum, he would get the Race Change to the Asuryan Highborne, meaning that he would fit well with the Imperial Society.

Race Changes within Star Citizen Online were very rare; most of the items that allowed the Race Change were extremely scarce and one could obtain them only through a very small number of missions.

Though some of the most advanced star nations had the ability to change the other species into their own, but such ones could be counted on one hand.

This, counting together with the fact that he would obtain tremendous bonuses and benefits to his physique, would also greatly lessen the number of opportunities as not many species liked them...

"So... what do you think is the best course of action?"

In the end, Arcturus decided to ask his Central Artificial Intelligence for advice, even though right now, as Alice was, her computing capabilities were nothing spectacular; she was still hyper-intelligent Artificial Intelligence.

"According to all available data, it would be best to set course for the Imperium. If Master is considered Asuryan Highborne, he will get a lot of benefits from the state, even if working as a Star Mercenary. or Bounty Hunter.

At the same time, if Master wished to have land and estate on the planet, then the Imperium is the best choice, as their worlds are best defended against any possible threats."

In the end, Arcturus decided to use the Asurya Genetic Template Serum because the physical specifications of the Asuryans were too high and too tempting for him just to pass the things.

"Set course for the nearest outpost of the Eternal Imperium."

He ordered the A.I. of Obscurus as he departed to his chambers to inject himself with the Asurya Genetic Template Serum. This little thing was one of the main reasons why he decided to go into the Imperium because it would give him even more power.

And increased limits for even greater heights, something that he was very greedy for.
