"Up next to the bat in Number 42, Jakie Robinson." David McLain announced over the speakers and Luke Orson cheered with the crowd. Since he was young, Luke watched Robinson play baseball better than a lot of the guys in the league. He knows so much has changed since the Exodus and humanity reestablishing itself on this world. Luke wasn't alive when the war ended, but he knows the stories. Everyone knows the stories. Mindless destruction that spread all across the Unknown Region which humanity calls the Terra Region. Luke wishes he'll see his parents home one day. Till then he'll watch Dodgers beat the Red Sox.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower was reading the files of the latest on the Stock Market. Ever since the crash back in 1931, the economy was in shambles, but President Franklin D. Roosevelt changed everything and brought the economy back up again. Now years later since the man's death, the economy is still recovering, but better than before. All he could do now is to hope that the States will come up on top.

"This is Tengo Beta Four reporting in. Enemy site spotted. Lattitude 73 degrees South, Longitude 145 degrees West. Five miles out. Copy?" Sergeant George Watts reported to command.
"Copy Tengo Beta Four. Bomber ten minutes out. Copy?" Command asked.
"Copy Command. Tengo Beta Four Out." George replied. For almost two years now Crusados has been in a civil war between freedom and Communism after a year of independence from Great Britain. Now the U.S sent military aid to the Confederate Democratic Republic. George leads a squad of clones on dangerous missions through the forest of this world. He watched the enemy soldier go along their business while he knew what was going to happen. One missile, followed by death. Weapons have gotten advanced since the Second Earth War. Long-range missiles, Planet range missiles, Hyperspace missiles, anti-EMP plating, Orbit Bombardment Cannons, AT-TS Walker, and so much more. His favorite was, of course, the SA Suits. The suits are similar to Stormtrooper armor but is a one-piece with the front armor being able to open and seal airtight, has little storage units for ammo where it opens up and pushes an unloaded gun in the unit then pull out to open fire again, piston gauntlets, and the torso and the helmet is made out of a light Beskar alloy called Besa which is able to withstand blaster fire.
"Command. Tengo Beta Four copy?"
"Copy command." George replied.
"Bombers five minutes out, requesting ground cover over."
"Over. Tengo Beta Four out." George said as he motioned Snip over. Snip is one of the best snipers in the 31st Combat Company. "Take out anti-air gunners."
"Yes sir." Snip replied as he laid on the ground and ready his rifle. The clone spent a minute adjusting the scope. "Eyes on four guns. Empty."
"Put a bullet in anyone who tries to arm the guns."
"Yes sir." Snip said and an alarm echoed across the forest and the enemy barked orders to each other. Snip fired four shots. Seconds later four more bullets left his rifle. As his last two bullets left the rifle the bomber soured over the enemy, before a large explosion replaced the enemy site. George adjusted his built-in binoculars to see the enemy was wiped out.
"Tengo Beta Four. Command Copy?"
"Copy. Enemy status." Command asked.
"Flames. Heading back to base. Tengo Beta Four out."

When Starlest Yekheba Umb walked onto the bridge of his ship the crew bolted up and place their lower arms to their chest and lowered their upper arms to the ground. "Glory and honor to the Rebiks!"
Yekhaba lowered his arms to the ground and tighten his upper tusks, "Honor to the noble soldiers!"
"Loyalty to the Star Keepers!" the group yelled in unison before returning to their duties for the Great Imperialx. The Starlest eyed his men knowing that all would die for Star Keepers. Yekheba knows that his ship holds an important task for his people, the Rebiks. A native species that lived in the Andromeda Galaxy since the beginning. When the Allies found them, the Rebik had control forty sectors called the Rebik Region. The Rebik has four arms with six fingers one each, scale skin like a snake, and four tusks, two pointed up on the forehead and two pointed down from the corners of their mouths. Yekhaba's ship was shaped into a spear-like structure with anti-fighter cannons across the hull, fourteen anti-ship cannons placed on the sides, and the Starlight Beam on the front of the ship. An untested weapon that could destroy entire ships.
"Starlest. Jiuk starcraft exiting hyperspace." Waver Hebreka Wou reported.
"Ready all weapons! Leave no survivors!" the Starlest ordered. The Jiuk was another native species of the Andromeda and live long enemies of the Rebiks. The insect-like Jiuk had a slim build, six arms with spikes on the elbows, pinchers near their mouth that could piece metal, large bug-like eyes, and some had wings while others don't. Those with wings could shoot acid from thirty yards away. The strongest among them were soldier drones while the weaker ones were worker drones for their queen. No Rebik had ever seen a Jiuk queen alive or dead and when the Queen dies, the Hive's drones will fight more furiously and commit suicide runs to destroy the enemy, but never needlessly. Some spectate that they have a Population Queen that commands the Hive Queens, though there is no evidence to support it. The Rebiks considered them as primitive bugs and nothing more.
The two species had fought each other in an endless war for centuries. Then the humans found them and managed to piece together a truce by some miracle. Then the Cold War came and each species had to choose a side. Capitalism or Communism. The Rebiks chose the U.S.S.R while the Jiuk chose the Americans. Since then many battles were rage between the two sides and the Americans, French, and British always give aid to the bugs. So no major war was declared. He hopes that they go to war, so he could end the bugs for his father, Star Weeper Queka Umb. He never knew the man for he died in the Battle of the Er Cluster. Since then, Yekheba thirst for the bugs blood. Now, this is his chance.
A dozen rock coral-like ships appeared in front of them and hundreds of bug fighters left the firing ships. The enemy fire molten rock and metal from destroyed ships and terraformed worlds. The ship's shields held against the primitive enemy weapons. "Open fire!" Yekheba ordered and the cannons began to blast the enemy apart. Within minutes the capital ships were destroyer but the fighters charged at the mighty cruiser only to be destroyed by the guns or crashing into the shield. When the battle was over Yekheba pulled out a knife, followed by his crew. "Glory in Rebik victory arms!" they all said in unison is they craved the sacred symbol of victory in their palms. An x with a triangle over it leaving blood to dry up and create a scar. The deeper the scar, the more honor a warrior will receive is deepened on this symbol. This scar can only be received through a victory in battle. "Death to Rebik enemies!"

Minister Beept kneeled to the Supreme Queen. She wasn't large as building like many thinks at first, but a big as an Earth car. She was six legs to crawl around and four arms with blades attached to her hands. She had no pinchers but had two tusks that twist around each other as she aged. She only gives birth to future queens so that they might grow the Empire. All Jiuk respect the near ancient queen. Today she requested the Ministers of each Hive Colony to the main Hive. Hundreds were already in the Queen chambers when Beept arrived so he was in the far back. The old Queen moved to the center pedestal that overlooked the crowd. "My Ministers of the Jiuk. Today is a special day for us. Today is the day I step down from the duties of Supreme Queen." she said and sadness engulfed the crowd. "Don't be sad. Today is the day a new Queen hatches from her cacoon and claims my throne so that we can expand. In my reign, I have seen war claim many of my daughters and many of my daughters claiming the worlds of the Rebiks. I was not alive during the times of the beginning of the war, but I know from what has been taught that we were judge based on our appearance. But during my reign, we had a small time of peace between our enemies. I hope that my new and last daughter will see peace like that again." she continued motioning to a cacoon hanging from the ceiling. "Today I die. So that our future remains bright."
Beept saw the Queen laying down as her soul left her lifeless body. All of the Jiuk from the far reaches of space could feel it. The present Jiuk bowed down to their dead queen. Their only hope now is the cacoon above them.

Laurel McMiller is an Ambassador for the United States with the purpose of keeping a fragile peace with the Des. The reason why it is fragile because they did not the American government but hates the Soviets more. So Laurel constantly travels to Hindale. She unbuckled her seat and float towards the cockpit. The sight still seems strange to her. The world was in between two suns where ships must be careful to not stray away or else they will get caught in one of the sun's gravity. The black and red world has two giant towers that connect to a dockyard ring that circles each sun. As she looked at the impressive structures, the ship swerved to avoid a collision with Fex. One of the five moons that orbit this world and is the most random. Some days it's slow as a turtle, others it is fast as a fighter jet and the orbit is constantly changing.
"This is Slamdal Steller Space Command. Transmit your codes or be fired upon." a native ordered over the comms.
"Transmitting codes." the human pilot replied as he clicked several buttons and Laurel went back to her seat. Moments later the native gave them the go-ahead and the U.S shuttle landed on a Hooverstation. She felt the gravity pull her down even if it is light as air but she is used to it. When Laurel exited the shuttle, Killoux Seltx stood in the hanger. The Des stood nearly ten feet tall and scale-like armor covering their bodies similar to the SA Suits.
"Greet Laurel." Killoux greeted Laurel. The Des knowledge of English is limited to a few words due to their vocal cords so a Protocol droid is always with an Ambassador. "Besa shipments on time."
"That is good to hear. How are you mining operations in the Heart, Inner, and Outer Core?"
"On time."
"Good to hear."

Nikita Khrushchev watched as the American shuttle landed twenty yards in front of him. For seven days now the U.S has blockaded the planet Checklyskia from receiving eighteen Chinson Series Four Cruisers. No one wants another war. Ever since the fall of Earth and exile to the Andromeda, humanity been through two wars and six conflicts. The current one is the Crusados Conflict. Nikita doesn't want humanity to destroy itself. He believes in Communism, but believe that they can work with the Capitalist in peace. As the American female ambassador walked towards the Russian with two bodyguards by her side. "Good morning Ambassador Tina Lenard. It is a pleasure to see you again."
"The pleasure is all my. It has been fifteen years since an American step foot on Russian soil?" Tina asked.
"Yes I'm afraid. Now you are here. This is a pleasant turn of events for both of our nations."
"For the whole Galaxy." she corrected.
"Yes. For the whole galaxy. Let me show to your rooms you're be staying for the talks." the Russian offered.
"Thank you Nikita." the American said as the two walked inside.
"I hear that your brother is doing an excellent job with the Jedi Order."
"He has. He hopes that once the Cold War calms down, he'll move the Order to an isolated planet."
"I hope so. The Jedi being on Coalition, a Capitalist world makes a common Communist feel like that the Jedi are evil men and women."
"Believe me. They are not evil. In the Empire's eyes, they are, but in the eyes of the free they are good."
"I hope you are right." Nikita replied. "May I ask you a question Mrs. Lenard?"
"Of course."
"Have you ever wonder when humanity will take back the Earth?"
"Everyday."
"It'll be a bloody fight. A fight that needs the U.S.S.R and the U.S united for."
"On that, we agree. A Galactic wide war between us will only strengthen the Empire."
"If there is still an Empire." Nikita replied and noticed Tina's puzzled look. "There were rebellions in the Empire and sooner or later they would be united and if lucky enough. Destroy the Empire. I hope that has happened."
"I hope so too."

Petty Officer Third Class Hugh O'Regan was in an anti-fighter gun on a Stellar Battleship. From his view, he could see the new E.S.S America III. Everyone knew the story of the first E.S.S America as the ship that saved the Earth. But everyone will always remember the E.S.S America II. During the First Andromeda War, it fought against the Lizarils. A reptile-like species that had a larger population than Earth due to the many clone facilities and high birth rate. They had control of two dozen systems when humanity found them. They had millions of ships for war. Evidence from after the war shows other intelligence lives that went extinct to the reptiles. The Allies barely hold them off on their world, thanks to the E.S.S America II. During the Battle of Lizaril Prime, the ship destroyed half of the fleet before it's reactor overheated and exploded. Unlike the destruction of the E.S.S America I, the blast radius engulf another quarter of the enemy fleet. From there, the Allie fleet engaged the enemy fleet, wiping them out. The last world with those monsters is their home. Lizaril Prime. That taught them a lesson. To be wary of the native of the Andromeda and to prepare for war.

Jhath Jol was told that Marine training was going to suck. Her father immigrated to the U.S from Serpent Dawn before she was born. When she became the age for Mandalorian training her father began to teach her the ways of a Mandalorian. She refitted her father's armor to her fitting when he passed. Now she wants to serve her nation and joined the U.S Marines. Everyone told her it would be hard, but she did not imagine the labors work they put her through or that they will force her in a gas chamber so they could release tear gas on them. Her father told her that the Mandos make the best soldiers in the Galaxy but after the several weeks of Marine boot camp, she is beginning to think that the Marines might be better than the Mandos. Jhath had a gas mask on as she walked into the chamber. When the recruits were all in the chamber, Drill Sergeant Malcolm closed the door and turned on the gas. When the room was filled with the gas, Malcolm gave the signal to unseal the masks. Jhath unsealed her mask and the tear gas engulfed her senses. The pain was unbearable. When the door opened minutes later, she ran out and tore the mask off. The fresh air felt relief to her and she smiled knowing that this was going make her an ultimate weapon.

Barney Bailey watch as the wielders wield the wings to a T-E65 X-Wing Fighter when someone tapped his shoulder. He turned around to see Lena Harper behind him. "What is it Lena?"
"New London wants more fighters to be produced as soon as possible." Lena answered.
"Why?"
"Don't know. Cold war tensions I guess."
"Whenever we talk about the Cold War, I wonder about Earth and how they are doing?"
"Same here." Lena replied. "Do you think we'll ever see it?"
"I don't know. I was a year old when humanity left. I hope to see it one day."
