War Against the Stars

Humanity entered the stars in the year 2128. Then humanity expanded in the solar system. All the way to Pluto by the year 2201. This is also when we discovered we were not alone.

On Pluto, ancient structures were activated, and old forces were awakened. The settlers of Pluto had awoken sleeping ancient beings. They did not attempt to communicate. They did not show mercy nor take prisoners. Their names had to be learned through researching captured technology.

They are called the Henech. An alien race with mastery over living biological technology. They have the form of large slugs that manipulate their surrounding with various dexterous tentacle appendages that can appear on any point of their body. They are normally in their biological exoskeletal suits(BES). Which can come in various forms.

Ever since the Henech have awakened, they have aggressively attacked humans. We don know their motives nor goals. From Pluto, they had spacefaring ships under the ground of Pluto. The ships were just rods with uneven surfaces. Made from a material that looks like keratin and carapace. They launched and started to attack the colonized moons of Neptune.

Humanitys response was slow and awkward. A sudden alien attack was completely shocking and no one was prepared. Panic ensued once it was seen how fast they were attacking too. Humanity had awkward spacefaring warships, but not many. Humanity as a whole went into war mode, every economy has switched to a war machine economy. Warships were focused on for building and R&D. The United Space Force(USF), who were only a symbolic military force was immediately sortied. The space legion soldiers, who never expected to see combat, were startled and nervous.

They were shown there enemy, told the dire situation. They were soldiers at the end of the day. Although nervous, they were determined to protect humanity. For the first time in history, humanity will fight against an enemy that isn itself. The soldiers were excited at this notion.

At this point in human history, nanotechnology had advanced enough to make suits out of them. All space suits were made with self-repairing, protective and strong nano-technology. The (USF) also wore such suits, combat variants. The suits enhance strength, speed, senses, and stamina. The combat variants are also made tougher. The old logs state that the USF were confident in their strength.

It wasn enough…

First contact resulted in heavy losses for the USF. The Henech BES were powerful. The rifles the USF used were using .460 caliber uranium tipped rounds. They did damage against the Henech BES, but it took half of a 40 round magazine to do any sort of good damage. It is not like the Henech were just letting themselves be hit that much. Their weapons in comparison, were essentially bioelectrical energy casters that could fire as fast as a rifle. Those burned through nanotech suits in 2 shots, and killed the wearer. One shot would at injury the wearer enough to take them out of the fight usually. the disparity in equipment was large. This resulted heavy losses of USF. Although, they did manage to last long enough to evacuate a lot of civilians.

Over half of the populations on the invaded moons were killed of though. The moons that weren attacked were fortified. The fortification didn last long though. In 20 years, the Henech had advanced into the system. They took over most of the moons of Saturn. It was at Jupiter that were stopped. Humanity spent the 20 years well, and created enough orbital defenses around Jupiter to make a net of powerful railguns, heavy guns and missile launchers. The Henech were now stopped. For how long, no one knew.

I was born on Titan, moon of Saturn, in the year 2205 on November 5th. In the year 2219, Titan was evacuated and lost in an attack. I was 14, with a mother, a father, a younger brother, and two younger twin sisters. I was the only one of my family to evacuate safely. I lost them all in the attack.

This is my story, my legend, my epic tale.

Know me, for I am the last mythical hero of humanity. A hero, righteous and immortal.

I had always been intelligent. In high school, I showed my intellect fully. This allowed me to be hailed as a genius. I entered college at 15. I finished a 4 year degree in two years at the age of 17. I achieved a doctorate in nanotechnology at the age of 21. I also earned a doctorate in bioengineering at the same time. I was a rare true genius.

I then got to work. I made some patents in an year, improving the effectiveness of nanotech suits. this secured me to be privately and federally sponsored for a personal lab. It was there that I was working on a secret project using captured Henech technology.

My goal was to reverse-engineer their technology and then integrate it with human nanotechnology. I worked on this project for nearly four years. What was born from it, where bio-nanites. Synthetic biological material made from metal and composites. I made
