In this sweeping science fiction saga, Mars and Ares Augustus, brothers forged by discipline and loyalty to a ruthless galactic empire, stand at the center of its unraveling. Trained as elite soldiers, they have spent their lives serving an order that promised stability through control. Now, as rebellion spreads and old truths resurface, duty, loyalty, and survival pull them in opposing directions. Every choice they make reshapes the fate of worlds.

Neptune returns from exile as the most dangerous symbol of resistance the empire has ever known. Once a voice of hope, now a living threat, his defiance ignites fear across the stars and draws the attention of forces far older and more powerful than any army. His fight is no longer only against an empire, but against the gods themselves.

From the abyss, Osiris awakens. God of death and renewal, his return tears at the fragile balance between mortals and immortals. As ancient mythology collides with advanced technology, chaos spreads and the future itself begins to fracture.
At the heart of the conflict stands Hephaestus, a child marked by a rare and dangerous gift. His survival could determine humanity's fate. His transformation may bring salvation, or ignite total annihilation.

Enter a universe where gods walk beside mortals, where war is waged on both the battlefield and the soul, and where courage becomes the final defense against extinction. As the Hoplite Battalion is torn between loyalty to empire and the rising rebellion, one truth becomes unavoidable: when myth collides with machine, no one escapes unchanged.
