Chapter 1 – Captain Uchiha
The EVE universe known as New Eden is divided among four distinct factions, the Gallente Federation, The Caldari State, The Minmatar Republic, and The Amarr Empire.
Champions of liberty and fierce guardians of the human spirit, the Gallente Federation (my personal favorite) is the only true democracy in New Eden. Some of the most progressive leaders, scientists, and businessmen of the era have emerged from its diverse peoples. Pioneers of artificial intelligence, the Federation once relied almost entirely on drone fleets to defend its beliefs and borders. But the limitations of this technology and the lack of a human element—both in terms of a military strategy, and as a means of spreading influence—eventually reached a critical point. Today, Gallente starships are manned by some of the bravest men and women of New Eden.
Founded on the tenets of patriotism and hard work that carried its ancestors through hardships on an inhospitable homeworld, the Caldari State is today a corporate dictatorship led by rulers who are determined to see it return to the meritocratic ideals of old, and buttressed by mega-corporations who try their hardest to divide the State between them. Ruthless and efficient in the boardroom as well as on the battlefield, the Caldari are living emblems of strength, persistence, and dignity.
Of the four major races of New Eden, none has endured more turmoil than the Minmatar. Once a thriving tribal civilization, the Minmatar were enslaved by the Amarr Empire for more than 700 years until a massive rebellion freed most, but not all, of those held in servitude. Modeling their recovery after the Gallente Federation's success, the Minmatar Republic was born. But despite rising to prominence on the world stage, more than one third of the present-day population remains enslaved. The Minmatar people today are resilient, ingenious, and hard-working. Many of them believe that democracy, though serving them well at first, will never restore what was taken from them so long ago. Instead, they long for a government truly reflective of their tribal culture, and remain deeply attached to their enslaved kindred. They will forever resent the Amarr, and yearn for the days before slaver ships ever reached their home skies.
The Amarr (the empire I loath) people inhabit a vast Empire, the largest and oldest of the four empires. Ruled by a mighty Empress, this vast theocratic society is supported by a broad foundation of Minmatar slave labor. Amarr citizens tend to be highly educated and fervent individuals, and as a culture adhere to the basic tenet that what others call slavery is in fact one step on a spiritual path toward fully embracing their faith. As a result, the Empire remains the most stable and militarily powerful nation-state in New Eden, despite several setbacks in recent history.
For Sasuke Uchiha, graduating from the Gallente Military Academy at the head of his class must have been what his brother felt receiving the Star of Olympus (The Gallente Military's Medal of Honor). Sasuke was dressed in his black cadet uniform with the cobalt blue stripes that ran down the front, over the buttons of his jacket, and down the arms. His black pants were the same, the cobalt blue stripes running down the side, his formal black cadet shoes.
Sasuke's parents, Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha both served in the Gallente Navy before Fugaku was killed in action during a surprise raid on an Exequror-class cruiser by the Amarr.
Lieutenant General Mikoto Uchiha is a senior member of the Gallente's General staff, and the reason Sasuke would be packing an HK-2 Scrambler Pistol when he got out there in New Eden.
The next day, Sasuke was escorted to his personal quarters by his big brother, Lieutenant Sentinel Itachi Uchiha.
The room was the basic room for Gallente soldiers, a king-sized bed with a navy-blue and white blanket, and a navy-blue pillow, a touch-screen computer, a large couch in front of the TV, a bathroom, a man-sized mirror, and everything you'd find in a normal bedroom.
"This is your home now brother," Itachi said as Sasuke dropped his bag on the bed, this was his home, he was now a Gallente military soldier living by himself in a very nice apartment.
"Thanks bro," Sasuke said as he walked around the room once, and then stood behind the couch.
Itachi placed a hand on Sasuke's shoulder, "I'll see you in the field." Itachi said.
Sasuke placed his hand over Itachi's, and felt his brother's hand leave his shoulder.
Sasuke was now alone, it would be a while for him to get situated in the station before his first mission.
All Gallente soldiers are given a Velator Frigate as their first ship, it's not a very powerful ship, but it's got enough space to store enough food for a single human to survive in space for a standard month, and it has enough firepower to hold off another Frigate. But even without the weapons, they make excellent transport and trading ships.
Sasuke undid the buttons on his jacket, and hung it up in his closet, located behind the mirror.
After removing the rest of his clothing, he stepped into the shower, and turned on the water, he then placed two hands against the shower wall, and closed his eyes as the water ran down his body, and down the tattoos he had on both his arms.
Sasuke had both his arms tattooed as result of a dare his fellow cadet back at the academy Naruto came up with. Sasuke's right arm was a 'Prototype' sleeve tattoo that covered his entire arm. His right arm was another 'Drone' sleeve tattoo that also covered his arm.
He often had ideas about this one girl he met at the academy: a beautiful pink-haired cadet with gorgeous emerald green eyes, her name was Sakura, the name of his mother's favorite flower.
He would although have to get passed his ex-girlfriend who was constantly jealous.
After washing himself off, he pulled on a pair of black pants, and walked over to his desk to answer his watch-phone, "Talk to me," Sasuke said as he answered the call.
"Sasuke," Sasuke's fellow recruit, Naruto said over the other line, "I noticed you're on the station."
"Naruto," Sasuke said, "How did you get this number?"
"Your brother gave it to me," Naruto said, "There's a cantina in the central tower, got a few nice-looking women in there."
"Count me in," Sasuke said, "Let me get dressed, you caught me fresh out of the shower."
Sasuke walked over to his closet, and picked out his clothes, his special underwear, a pair of black and gold Men's 'Commando' Pants, a white-colored Men's 'Form' shirt (basically a white tee-shirt) which he covered with a black Men's 'Sterling' Dress Shirt, and after putting on his Men's true black colored 'Lockstep' Boots, he fixed his hair, strapped his HK-2 to the holster attached to his leg, and walked outside where Naruto was waiting.
Naruto was dressed in a pair of brown camo Men's 'Commando' Pants, a brown Men's 'Street' Shirt (basically a brown tank-top), which was covered by a gold-leather Men's 'Sterling' Dress Shirt, and a pair of tan Men's 'Trench' Boots. Naruto was born blind in his right eye so his uncle who raised him had it replaced with a golden Odin Synthetic Eye, so the iris of his right eye was gold, while his left eye was blue.
"Naruto," Sasuke said as he approached his military-school friend, and embraced him, they pulled away, and looked at each other, "Damn it's good to see you!"
"Likewise," Naruto said as he slapped Sasuke on the shoulder, "Dude you look like you just got yourself a new wardrobe, I've never seen you out of that cadet uniform."
"Fuck you," Sasuke said as he slapped Naruto on the back, "Let's get to that Cantina."
Sasuke and Naruto walked to the Cantina which was a very nice place, styled to look like an English pub like back on Earth with some nice folk music playing.
Sasuke took his seat across the table from Naruto as a robot waiter came, and asked them their order.
"Beer, clean glass, no ice." Sasuke said.
"Same here," Naruto said as he leaned back in his chair.
The robot walked off, Sasuke sat back in his chair, and looked up at the ceiling, "You still thinking about that pink-haired girl?" Naruto asked.
"I am," Sasuke said, "It's hard not to."
"You know you've got to get by Ino first," Naruto said, "She just refuses to let you go."
"She'll have to accept that I'm not hers anymore," Sasuke said, "I broke up with her."
The robot brought over the beer, and placed it at their table.
Sasuke picked up his, and held it out, "To the Gallente Federation," Sasuke said, "And to our new careers."
"I'll drink to that," Naruto said as he tapped his glass against Sasuke's.
After having a few beers, Naruto and Sasuke went back to their rooms.
As Sasuke entered, he threw his jacket down on the couch, kicked off his boots, pulled off his shirt, and plopped onto his bed.
Sasuke then pulled the covers over himself, and he closed the cover to his bed, and opened the blinds.
Sasuke looked out at the universe spread out before him, tomorrow was his first mission, he was now a Gallente Federation Military Officer, and ready to begin his job.
What do you think? Should Sakura enter in the next chapter?
