AUTHOR'S NOTES
Well, hello-hello, and thank you so much for reading this far!
Not sure if this is as effective as simply writing an A/N on the sections of every chapter, but I prefer to do something like this to keep the story flowing.
First things first, I really have to give thanks to the guys helping me with the writing and advising regarding military tactics, terminology, and other things a civilian like me would screw up (as I very much did the first time I wrote this). Nighthawk, Cpl. Isaac, and several others who've given suggestions and just great overall assistance in bringing this story to life. Also, big thanks to Mashiroarts for the art. He's helped bring the work to life in a way I never expected to even a year ago.
So for those wondering, yes, this is a very similar concept to a certain anime series and was originally a fanfiction for said anime. However, I always felt a bit constrained when it was written as a fanfiction and decided to try to expand on it as an original work. The idea of two eras clashing, while not necessarily new, is one I don't really see done as often, and I wanted to try my hand at presenting an interesting story within this scenario, perhaps mixed in with a bit of Alternate History and Cold War drama because... well, who doesn't like a bit of Cold War drama?
Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this first volume. I generally like to give my thoughts on every chapter, but I do think this format works a bit better. If not, feel free to let me know. Really, let me know about any issues, grammatical or plot-related that you may have had with the story so far. Characters from Orville to Hilaire, or Octavious to Thule, the combat, the politics, I want to hear your feedback both to deliver a better story and to improve my writing so, again, do let me know!

With that said, I think that would be it for this volume which... hmm, I wanted to release in full over the course of ten or so weeks originally, but let's just say life finds a way to mess with that.
When is volume 2 coming out?
Hopefully, the wait isn't too long. It needs some reworking, and I prefer not to give a date on something I can't guarantee, but I promise I am going to continue this, and I hope to get some nice art to go with it.
I really hope this story is as enjoyable to read as it's been so far to write, and I thank you all so much for reading!
Until the next update,
DFMR (Frank)!

As a result, they slowly became tyrannical and started to use terrorist tactics to maintain control across the Andromeda Galaxy.

Genso Suikoden: Worlds Collide
The story is set in the Queendom of Falena, the universe of the JRPG game Suikoden V. Though technically a monarchy, the aristocracy holds so much power within Falena that their squabbles and power-plays threaten to de-stablise the whole country. Complicating matters is the presence of the Sun Rune, an royal artifact of apocalyptic power and one of the 27 True Runes in the world of Suikoden. The main character is the Prince of Falena, Freyjadour, who is an unimportant figurehead not in line to the throne. During one of his royal inspections, he meets Natsu, Happy, Gray, and Erza who are a part of an alternate universe (Fairy Tail) and helps them find a way back to their home. Little do they know that it's not only them who came to this world… [This is basically a novelization of the game but with different twists due to the multiple crossovers. Therefore, there is no need to know any of the fandoms involved in this story. This will read like an actual novel itself. The universe and the characters are not owned by me.]
