Some things I wish I had known when I was a new writer: Being accepted by traditional publishers has less to do with skill than whether they think they can sell it. Just because publishers arenโ€™t ready for a story doesnโ€™t mean readers arenโ€™t. Writing the book is the easy part. ๐Ÿงต

medics actually landed on-world, declared themselves a relief fleet, and began the necessary work. There were neither Ty'gjir nor Lupinion casualties during this shaky introduction, and the restraint displayed by the crew of the *In Silence* became famous overnight. The same scenario is now

utilized as a training simulation for all Calaioci relief fleet officers headed into possibly hostile territory. The vessel is still in service, and makes regular rounds between the Acquisition Zone and Aurum for resupply, greeted now with slightly more open arms.

throughout a decade-long civil war fraught with betrayal and outside influence, which ultimately saw the revolutionary armies pacified, the rebel kings executed, and Aras'erak coronated high king of a world at terrible peace. The entirety of the war was later memorialized (read: dramatized) in a

series of extremely commercially successful holo-films which featured Ons'erak as their hero and quickly became the defining cinematic epic of a generation. And now he's here. A king. A conqueror. A hero. And for some reason, a major.

medical staff successfully treated AZ patients numbering in the hundreds of millions. Medical staff are thus viewed--appropriately--as indispensable to the RAD's efforts, and are generally quite well-regarded among their crewmates. Even a superior officer will cede to a medic's order to withdraw,

should savable CSIC lives be in danger. Massive trauma (eg. loss of limb), blood loss, exposure to neurotoxins, or oxygen deprivation are all relatively common causes for a medic to order extraction, as reliable, mobile means of treating such injuries in the field are not often available.

recovery fleets put this equipment to now famous use when the organization was first founded and deployed to the war-torn worlds of what is now the Acquisition Zone. Initially stymied by the volume of injuries produced by conventional projectile rounds (the use of which is currently a war crime),

the sarcaglyptists of CSIC developed new means of non-traumatic foreign body extraction to supplement their technical repertoire, and the technology quickly became the envy of the galaxy. Even faced with alien, Lupinion biology, official records from the post-Unification years assert that CSIC

infantry squads, recovery teams, fighter squadrons, relief units and other discrete operating teams can expect to be connected with planetary comm units linked to a shared server to allow for instantaneous communication between teammates at the scope of most terrestrial worlds. Official comms are

encrypted, but remain vulnerable to sufficiently skilled or technologically advanced hackers, unlike slip transmission, for which the technology to listen in simply does not exist. And hey, you signed up for the RAD? Here's your personal comm unit/planner. It is never to leave your side, recruit.

to send a message from one border to the opposite in matter of minutes. At this point in history, it's also considered extremely secure. Through the use of interdiction fields and frigate-sized vessels equipped exclusively with spectacularly bulky interdiction projectors, the means exist to drag

spacecraft from the Slip and back into conventional reality, but similar efforts to intercept transmissions have succeeded only in scattering the data. Due to this reliability, Slip transmission was quickly adopted as the de facto avenue for CSIC and RAD naval command. On a more local level,

orders follow what one might expect of typical military protocol, traveling down ranks as the specificity of what's required to carry out the high command increases. It is the extraordinarily rare CSIC operative who acts alone. Instead, often, an individual is tapped for their expertise. Petty

Officer Hikari'ro, for example, is the Calaioci's foremost expert on the staggeringly vast and varied catalogue of Lupinion languages, and her unique skills meant that for some time, she was the sole officer assigned to surveillance of the annexed Lupinion Acquisition Zone. And because she is,
