                                Chapter 1: Grim Reaper

    The year is 2186. Mankind has developed true space travel, with the
ability to go just beyond the speed of light. With the ability to create
air, water and gravity, they could now truly explore space.

You make it sound as if fast travel lets them create matter and gravity.

    And so the people of Earth colonized planet's and moons in the solar

"planets"

system. Every planet except for Mercury that is, due to intense heat and
unpredictable conditions.

Conditions on Mercury are very predictable.

    And so then came the political problems. There was a civil war from
2132-2136, where Earth Government fought a faction called the Outer
Republic. Finally, after six years, the war ended with a stalemate, and
a peace treaty. The Outer Republic controlled the planet's of Pluto,
Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter and Saturn. While Earth government got a hold
of Mars, Earth, Venus and Mercury.
    And so in this year, 2186, the story begins..........

thousand people. It orbited the moon around Earth. Blue and white colors
were spread across the station, showing that it was most likely a Earth
Government space station. And this was confirmed by the large yellow
stars painted on the station in a circular shape.

    And so the ships docking engine's came on suddenly in blue jets of

another ship.

That is one word.  

    The ship opened fire in crimson beams of energy. The Alexander and
galaxy 1 had no time to defend, and therefore were destroyed in only
seconds. Explosions were heard and seen from miles upon miles away.
    After the explosion had stopped the hip vanished again, leaving only
