Starforger's Legacy

A brilliant mind from a lost technological golden age is reborn in a desolate future, trapped in the body of a lowly mechanic. On a wasteland planet littered with the ruins of a fallen galactic empire, he is armed with a complete library of forgotten science—his ultimate advantage in a society where innovation is heresy. To survive, he must climb a rigid hierarchy of engineering mastery, challenging the corrupt dynasties that hoard knowledge and control society. From scrapyard repairs to forging starships, his singular ambition is to reignite the fires of industry and lead his people back to the cosmos. But the dark secrets that caused the first collapse still linger, threatening to extinguish humanity's last hope for good.
