When the finest fleet commander in the Revani Empire dies fighting an alien threat, he wakes in the body of a seventeen-year-old ensign on a forgotten frontier station. Armed with a lifetime of tactical brilliance trapped in a teenager's frame, Cael Ashwick has one advantage: the military binding system just classified him with a designation it hasn't issued in three hundred years.
A tactical military science fiction LitRPG with fleet-building progression and strategy you can follow.
Assigned to the worst corvette on the worst patrol route in the sector, Cael must build a fleet from nothing. Capture enemy ships. Recruit crews from the people he defeats. Restore a dead destroyer that everyone wrote off. And dismantle an entire pirate network using tactics from a civilization that fell three centuries ago.
Every victory makes him stronger. Every engagement report broadcasts his impossible performance to the empire's intelligence analysts. The system is tracking him. The question isn't whether they'll notice. It's whether he can build enough before they come asking questions.
