《Starbound: A Space Odyssey》Occasus Cult and the Vault (1)
Advertisement
Asra Nox, the founder and Great Leader of the Occasus Cult.
She was a middle-aged woman with short black hair and sharp black eyes. She was slim and almost 1.85 meters tall, but her atmosphere and aura make her feel more towering and older than she looks. She didn't have some developed bust and waist and lacked almost any feminine charm.
She was wearing some purple, tight militaristic outfit with metal shoulder pads and some medals on the chest. On hands and on her feet, she was wearing black leather gloves and black leather boots. Asra slowly moved her hand up and fixed her old-stylish black, military peaked cap and black trench coat.
Asra Nox was in her forties, which meant she had been fighting on the battlefield for more than 20 years since she was barely 18 when she founded the organization.
The Cult was completely formed entirely of Humans, xenophobic and extremist Humans.
Most members of the organization were people that had some conflict with other races. People that had their families killed by Novakid outlaws. Their relatives sacrificed in the name of the Kluex God by the religious Avians. Their friends were eaten alive by tribal Florans. Their cities bombarded and enslaved by Apexes agents of the Miniknog. Or their families were enslaved by mountains of debts after making deals with Hylotl's Letheia Corporation.
There was even a significant number of Protectors that grew tired of being Letheia's watchdogs and left the Terrene Protectorate to join the Occasus Cult to fight for humanity. They didn't hate other races, besides Hylotls, but between the outlaws of the Syndicate and the Occasus Cult, they often preferred the Cult since they fought, supposedly, for the betterment of humankind.
Almost all the Cult's members had a reason to hate and fight against other races.

Asra herself also had a past with other races. Her whole family, her entire Colony was killed and destroyed by a group of criminals that were formed by all the 7 humanoid races. There were even some Penguins there.
She was forced to silently watch in horror, hidden beneath the floor of her house, as her mother and father were tortured and killed by the outlaws. They tortured the victims only for the sheer enjoyment and then executed to leave no evidence that the Terrene Protectorate could use to track them.
It was her mother that locked her beneath the floor, and said for Asra to stay there and don't do anything.
Asra stood in her hiding spot, crying and helpless since she was too young and weak to lift the heavy metal trap door that was the only viable exit from where she was.
The young Asra was only saved when a Terrene Protectorate patrol found the ravaged colony.
The person that saved Asra Nox was none other than Esther Bright.
Esther Bright saved Asra a few years before she became the Grand Protector. At that time, she was nothing more than an above-average Protector.
A few things happened that led to Asra fleeing from under Esther's years of care. They spent almost 5 years living together before Asra decided to leave.
The main reason she left was because of Esther's discovery of the Ruin.
Esther wanted to warn the universe of this threat, but Asra saw the Ruin with other eyes.
The Ruin, for her, was a savior, a being that would eliminate all the other races of the universe until only Humans will be left standing. Despite the danger of such creature, Asra believed that she could control it.
Her mission to find the Artefacts led to her to travel throughout the universe while fastly growing her force that would soon become the Occasus Cult.

Her search led to her to the planet she was currently at.
Asra Box was on her usual tight, purple military clothing.
Her cold eyes sweep at the three people that were seated at the opposite side of her in that spacious conference room. The three of them were wearing the same kind of purple military clothing as Asra's.
She slowly opened her mouth and asked with a chilling and powerful voice, "Any suggestion?"
"It's for the best to cut ties with Nova Rebellion since Jevil Redhook has been captured." One of the three calmly raised his voice as he respectfully suggested.
The one who just spoke was an old, middle-aged man, right at his fifties. He had a full beard and short black hair with a few strands of white hair signaling his age.
He was tall, about 1.94 meters, broad shoulders, and had a muscular body.
His aura was a war veteran that had more than a fair share of blood in his hands. The fierce and bloodthirsty aura around him conflicted with the calm and imposing exterior.
"Didn't Husk said that they would fix the situation in a week? Let's wait before making a decision. Don't rush things, Knax." A smooth and gentle voice came from the middle-aged man's side.
The speaker was the handsome young man with complete white, short, hair, and purple eyes. He was at the size size of Asra, 1.85 meters, and had a slim body.
The feeling he gives to people around him was like of a close friend, someone you could talk with and trust. He looked frail and delicate, but beneath that fragile and gentle exterior, lies his true self.
Knax turned his head to the side and just threw a quick glance at the young man before ignoring him.
His eyes landed at the figure seating at his right, "What about you, Elana. What do you think?"
The person seating at Knax's right side was a charming, seductress young woman with silky, black hair, and enchanting black eyes. Her bust was massive, at least twice as big as Asra's. She also had a rather large bottom.
She sweetly smiled and answered Knax's question while looking directly at Asra, "I suggest that we wait one week before we decide our next move. There's still one month until Unity Day. We still have more than enough time."
Asra nodded, satisfied with their answers, "Then we shall wait." She said before turning her head once toward Elana and asking, "How is the mission I gave you going?"

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
