Family history of Feldwebel Nikolai Sovok

[Sturmwind]

The Coalition spies on board the Hispania hacked their cryo tanks so that they would wake up earlier than the rest of the passengers. Their plan was to bypass the ship's internal security grid, then sabotage the Hispania's engines before she reached her destination. The escape was to be made with using the landing crafts stashed in the sleeper ship's hangars, destroying any other vessels remaining there after their departure. The same practice was to be applied with all the other sleeper ships aswell, however the Coalition's early arrival to the Pluto planetoid made the Alliance launch their project earlier than it was anticipated. Not only did the Coalition fail to get enough spies onboard the other sleepers, but it also failed to fully initialize the first and last part of their plan.

Andrey Kuznetsov's cryo tank malfunctioned, or to be accurate, it didn't function as the hack was supposed to make it do so. He woke up only as his comrades left the Hispania, leaving him behind with the sleeper ship's passengers, drifting without engines into the unknown. Utter chaos erupted among the Hispanians on board, but Andrey kept his smile up. Regardless of the fact that he was shamelessly left behind to decay by his comrades, he knew that the Coalition triumphed. He remained loyal enough to preserve his ideas of Coalitionist communism and started folding plans to turn the people under the flag of the Coalition themselves, people whose existence was put into certain doom by the agents of this formation. He knew that he would most likely never meet his comrades again as they were light-years away, at best. He realized he had to carry on the war alone.

The Hispania eventually drifted above the rocky, barren world that the Hispanians later nicknamed Crete. Kuznetsov was among the ones who found their chances of survival to be larger on the newly discovered planet than going on with the drifting sleeper ship towards the unknown. He launched with some of the survivors to settle on the barren wasteland and attempt the continued survival on the said planet's surface, but even the hell that awaited them didn't make Andrey what his mission and origins were.
