Mid–Space Era Years 93.
In the sanctum of the New Hope University's Bio-Genetic Laboratory, the quiet hum of molecular instruments filled the sterile air. Then—breaking through the mechanical stillness—came the fragile cry of a newborn girl. Amid the soft blue glow of the bioluminescent incubators, Aelyzabeth von Thors sat upon the Gene-Mother's chamber bed, holding the infant in silence. Her argent eyes shimmered like liquid mercury, reflecting both exhaustion and transcendence. She knew: this child was not merely her daughter—but the living testament to the next step of human evolution.
The infant exhibited signs far beyond natural expectation—neurological, muscular, and cognitive systems that developed at an exponential rate. The same deep-sequence genetic modification once used in Eryss, Aelyzabeth's first prototype of human advancement, had been perfected in this birth. In awe of that perfection, she named the child Saeraess Vilozyver — "She who is born from the stars and the sacred flame."
Ties of Blood and Alliance.
Twelve days later, her distant cousin Minaeva von Skyakolf, consort of Walther von Yigzorch, gave birth to a daughter as well. The wedding that followed, held beneath the crystalline domes of New Hope's grand botanical halls, became a spectacle of unity—science and state intertwined beneath the twin suns. Aelyzabeth, honored as matriarch of the era, presided over the ceremony and bestowed the name Aemma von Yigzorch, a symbol of the bond between the scientific and military houses—two pillars destined to shape the coming age.
The Era of Constructive Dominion (S.E. 94–97).
In the years that followed, Aelyzabeth's influence expanded beyond the frontiers of science. Despite multiple assassination attempts—by reactionary factions and interstellar corporations—her intellect only grew sharper, her resolve more unyielding.
Between Space Years 94 and 97, she bore four additional children:
Aelaena Vilozyver (S.E. 94) — A prodigy in quantum-energy research.
Marya Vilozyver (S.E. 95) — Gifted with exceptional psycho-analytical cognition.
Aeron Vilozyver (S.E. 96) — The only son of the early years, engineered with superior neuromuscular design.
Maximilius von Thors (S.E. 97) — Born with an innate cybernetic-data linkage capability, a mind synchronized with the machines of the age.
By the end of S.E. 97, her personal assets were valued at 632 million Earth dollars, equivalent to 1.6 billion New Hope Dollars—a sum comparable to 149.56 trillion USD of Earth Year 2025, adjusted for an inflation index of 2,650%.Yet she hoarded nothing. She paid every tax in full, donated vast fortunes to the military, medical foundations, and universities, and even redeemed portions of the federal debt. The people began to call her:
"The Idealist Magnate of the Cosmic Age."
Government and the Crossroads of Power.
11th November, Space Era 97Aelyzabeth, now twenty years of age, had become the most influential figure of her generation.President Henry Lindonsen, of the Republican Party, grew increasingly uneasy.The National Assembly Party, led by Aelyzabeth, commanded the loyalty of over 55% of the population, despite its openly anti-liberal, anti-democratic doctrine.To contain her ascent, the administration proposed a compromise—two choices:
Relinquish military command in exchange for a Triple-A Cabinet post: Finance, Transport, or Health.
Retain her military influence but accept a Grade-C Ministry: Agriculture, Labor, or Commerce.
Her reply stunned the nation.She chose Agriculture—and kept full control of her armed divisions.
"Wheat and rice are the arteries of civilization," she declared at her inauguration."If one controls food, one need not control politics."
Within a single year, she restructured the planetary food-production and export system from New Hope to its surrounding colonies.Yields tripled.Famine was eradicated.The federal government lost economic supremacy, and the National Assembly Party rose to the majority of Parliament.
In Space Era 98, she was transferred to the Ministry of Labor, where she dismantled every trade union through a series of deft negotiations and administrative maneuvers.Public approval soared past 62%, and the prospect of a one-party government loomed near.
Alarmed, the Parliament voted to dismiss her from all political offices.
Disappearance and the Birth of the Shadow Force.
Official reports claimed that Aelyzabeth had taken an extended "sabbatical" to the world of Thailang.In truth, she was forging a secret—an autonomous interstellar military order known as theAustunk Wakle Schtuam Scheigle,the Shadow Legion of the Void.
Its ranks gathered elite soldiers, combat engineers, and technomancers from across the known systems.Each underwent training designed personally by Aelyzabeth herself.Their uniforms, reminiscent of the Wehrmacht of Old Earth, were chosen, as she once remarked,
"for their discipline and their austere beauty."
While the central government collapsed under corruption, debt, and civil unrest,the people began to awaken—to whisper her name as both hope and prophecy.
She was no longer merely a scientist.She had become the Symbol of Renewal—the breeze of a Revolution yet to come.
Thus ends Chapter B-XX.
