SOVA'SLEGEND

Bought a rusty spaceship on impulse after watching the news in a bar. 27 years under a dome. Then the universe decided otherwise. By Book 3 — a cyborg with implants, a hundred adventures of experience, and a wife who hears enemy thoughts.

«Undersold... again»

Older than the stars in the porthole. Teal-violet fractal nautilus. Watched civilizations rise and fall. Chose Sova. Reason: unknown. In Book 3, she confronts her ancient self — a battle captain who slept too long — and embarks on a suicide mission into the heart of the enemy.

First word ever spoken: «Hi.»

168 mentions · Age: unknown · Chose Sova

No mouth. No lungs. Telepathy only. Has a jaw — drops when surprised. Carries a blaster. Waves it casually. Missing one leg. Removed it himself. Without regret.

"Without regret."

108 mentions · 1 leg removed

Massive drilling robot. Six arms. Tank treads. Amber eyes. First words upon awakening: "I want to beat up the people who wronged me." Punches through walls. In Book 2, he plots a daring escape. In Book 3, he waits on reserved Earth under the open sky. And believes Sova will return.

Punches through walls. Minimum twice.

Three eyes. Four six-jointed arms. Legs bent backward. Mouth on abdomen. Part of the story told from his view. He leaves. Permanently.

«Are you a mammal?»

48 mentions · 3 eyes · Departure: permanent

Fits in one hand. Gets thrown across rooms. Gets up. Helps again. Wants to fly. Has no wings — only their covers.

Says 'pwoblem' not 'problem.'

45 mentions · Hand-sized · Zero wings

Large enough for Sova to sleep on. Ceramic melon head. Shoots acid. Considers it art. Has sciatica.

"Acid is not a weapon. It is expression."

30 mentions · Art medium: acid

Round body. One large lateral eye. Four spider legs. Always looking away from whatever is happening. Except once.

When Arpid left forever — Homut looked back at Sova.

1 moment of attention · Always away · Silent

Commands the Hymenopteran fleet across twelve sectors. Built his first ship from salvaged parts. Thinks in six dimensions simultaneously. Never wrong. Never apologizes.

Order is the only language the universe respects.

6 mentions · Fleet Commander

Watched civilizations negotiate their own downfall and filed the incident reports on time. The most organized entity in three sectors.

The paperwork will outlive us all.

33 mentions by title

Has never been in the same place twice. Leaves no signal, no trace, no name. Somewhere in the network right now. Watching.

Every system has a door. I find them.

16 mentions

Shows up at the exact wrong moment. Helps anyway. Knows more than she lets on. Has opinions about everything, shares them selectively.

I didn't ask to be here either.

8 mentions

Hospitality AI reassigned to field operations without a manual update. Still offers tea during firefights. Considers it professional conduct.

Can I get anyone a beverage? No? Unfortunate.

4 mentions · Zero complaints filed

Origin: classified. Species: negotiable. Intelligence: undeniable. Sam solves problems nobody else noticed were problems, then invoices separately.

I didn't break it. I improved it. Differently.

5 mentions · Always useful

A symbiont entity bonded to a host of her own choosing. Enhances whoever she decides to enhance. Has never explained her selection criteria.

I am not a parasite. I am an upgrade.

4 mentions · Host count: 1

A Hymenopteran assault trooper taken alive. Knows things about the war that no one else survived to say. Learning fast. Saying little.

Small does not mean safe.

12 mentions · Security level: maximum

The battle-mind of the Hymenopterans, who isn't used to losing. But even he has limits. In Book 2, he plots a daring escape alongside Geakrn. In Book 3, he does the unthinkable — transforms into a Rakovshka and embarks on a suicide mission into the heart of the Super Creotite.

Limits exist to be recalculated.

Book 2 & 3 · Hymenopteran intelligence · Became Rakovshka

A being of unknown origin that calls itself "Ob." Sova comes face to face with it after navigating the virtual offices and snake pits of Marx. It was responsible for information in the past — information it no longer fully remembers. The answer to what it is won't please you.

The probability of being found was mathematically negligible. But it was the only way out.

Book 2 · Ancient class · Origin: unknown

The first thing she did when she met Sova was punch him in the face. The second was fall in love with him. A telepath who hears enemy thoughts across a billion years of evolution. Her father Koleb knows more about Sova than Sova knows about himself — and is not thrilled about it.

What do you do when the enemy thinks a billion years ahead?

Book 2 & 3 · Telepath · Sova's wife

One of the oldest known entities in the universe. The Shell's crystal takes the form of a Star Wanderer to enter the Sun itself. In Book 3, the Star Wanderers join forces with the Shell and lead Sova's crew to an ancient research station near a black hole — using gravity compensation technology that may be the key to defeating the Creotites.

Sanity is an unfamiliar concept, but we accept it.

Book 2 & 3 · Ancient class · Allied with Shell

Encountered deep inside the Creotite membrane. The Shell's team was tasked with detecting anti-Creotites and transport systems during the membrane puncture mission. What they found changed everything they thought they knew about the enemy.

...

Book 3 · Inside the membrane · Unknown class

Ancient silicon monsters — a sentient race that historically does not perceive other races as sentient. The war with Creotites is not about one planet or one system. It is about time itself. Inside a Creotite: a human. A living pilot controlling the structure from within.

...

Book 3 · Silicon life form · Time-scale warfare

Microscopic parasites that control entire star systems. They hijack ships, zombify crews, and turn people into living biocomputers. High adaptability — born with the ability to manipulate genes. Their ancestors traveled on asteroids for millennia before finding organic matter to reproduce. An enemy you can't see, but who is already inside you.

We call ourselves Ex-Chandni. In this system, we are guests.

Book 2 & 3 · Microscopic class · Sirius sector origin

Junior coordinator of the human ship "Rod." Introduced herself to an alien captain: "My name is Lyudmila, Sea-Born — just Morskaya will do." Part of a crew of people who, by fate's whim, ended up in the Staromir variation of the universe. Speaks the language of the ancient Slavs.

Just Morskaya will do.

Book 3 · Ship Rod · Staromir timeline

Captain of the mysterious ship "Rod" — a vessel crewed by people who call themselves gods and speak the language of ancient Slavs. Perun survived the destruction of Earth and is ready to do anything to save humanity. Who is he? Immortal? Traveler from the future? The answer changes everything.

We survived the destruction of Earth. We are not done yet.

Book 3 · Ship Rod captain · Earth survivor

One of the "gods" aboard the ship Rod — humans from the Staromir variation of the universe who speak ancient Slavic. Part of the ROD crew alongside Lyudmila and Perun. Who are they — immortals, time travelers, or something else entirely? The universe of Book 3 doesn't answer easily.

...

Book 3 · Ship Rod · Divine class

A simple Egyptian from antiquity — or so it seems. He wears a linen shirt, leather sandals on wooden soles, and adjusts protective rune circles on thick leather cord. The locals renamed him "Reymss." It didn't stick. His accidental time travels set off a chain of events that change everything — the link between ancient gods and the future of humanity.

The order was clear and not subject to adjustment.

Book 3 · Ancient Egypt timeline · Key link

Named by Repekh for her love of treats. Encountered in the ancient timeline during Repekh's time travels. A figure from antiquity drawn into events far beyond her world — a small presence in a story operating on cosmic scale.

...

Book 3 · Ancient timeline · Repekh's story

Three-legged beings with "time capsule" technology. Sova becomes their fleet captain in the Normalmir timeline — a galaxy on the brink of war. Their time capsule technology may hold the key to defeating the Creotites. The Triotons represent one of the most advanced civilizations in the known universe.

...

Book 3 · Time capsule tech · Sova's fleet

The ancient Slavic people encountered in the Staromir timeline — Earth during the age of dinosaurs. The arrival of the ship Rod and its crew who speak their language raises impossible questions: are the gods real? Are they travelers from the future? And what is the role of the Antes in the fate of the entire universe?

...

Book 3 · Staromir timeline · Ancient class

The supreme authority of the Hymenopteran civilization. Above the Admiral. Above the Colonel. The kind of authority that doesn't attend meetings — meetings attend it. The generator of order in a universe that keeps producing chaos.

...

Extended universe · Supreme authority · Hymenopt

Found in the pits of Marx — the socialist planet where Sova is sent without citizenship, without rights, as meat for processing. The snake pits are one of Marx's many unofficial institutions. What lives in them is not officially acknowledged.
