Evaran Chronicles II

Sometimes it's better to be quiet in a galactic forest. Captain Herix Trellis just wanted to command the UPS Alpaca, not fight to the death against a vicious reptilian alien species known as the Gorkeens. One year after crash-landing on an unknown planet and with his crew dispersed, there isn't much hope of a rescue. One issue is they got there by a portal they couldn't avoid, and now they have no idea where they are or when. Another problem is that over half the crew has been enslaved and used for food. It also doesn't help that another third of the crew escaped and has not been heard from since. Enter Evaran and M, two cosmic beings who travel through space, time, and beyond to help those in need. They, along with Herix and his group, need to rescue the other human survivors and bring justice to the Gorkeens while also navigating galactic politics.

From cosmic destruction comes cosmic justice. Dylan Townsend, Isaac Barret, and Dr. Kate Minter get to travel on their first summons across space and time with Evaran and M. The trip will take them to the Large Magellanic Cloud Galaxy in 40,322 AD, where they encounter a mystery with many moving parts. The United Star Federation, or USF, is a human empire still healing from the aftermath of a visit by Antion, another cosmic being who killed the first Evaran's gang. Antion murdered trillions of humans and shattered the USF into a loose coalition of eighty-one planetary system states. And they're losing on all fronts. Evaran and the gang decide to help the USF, but they've crossed the powerful Krellic United Corporation, or KUC, led by Azaric Krenzel, who wants the USF for himself. In order to save the USF, the gang will need to enlist allies from far and wide, such as a sentient planet and a machine race known as the Tellzik Ascendancy, which is unofficially at war with the KUC. If they fail, then the USF is doomed.

Surprises can come in many forms. Evaran and the gang receive a summons to NGC 3312, the largest spiral galaxy in the Hydra Supercluster, which is 194 million light-years away from Earth. The summons is also from 1,544,322 AD. They encounter a rift endpoint that is one of many in a stable galactic rift network. Accompanying them is Sandas, a former traveling companion of the first Evaran and the gang. The Gazjarik Coalition, or GC, controls the surrounding system and the rift endpoint the gang traveled to. An issue occurs when the gang visits Holoc, a large city on the portal's crust. They begin an investigation with Holoc's city council on the condition they take Partanas Etta Grotto as an investigative liaison. The problem is no one has figured out how to fix the situation the gang encountered. To make matters worse, there is something off with the GC's relationship with the Jannahox, an alien species that can create any form and mines the crust. The gang will need to dig deep across space and time to discover what's going on. If they fail, catastrophic consequences await.
