How to Build a Starship: a base-building harem adventure

Written from the point of view of Mark, a young man inches away from graduating as a Robotics engineer in the Echelon system's most prestigious university. Given his humble background, it's nothing but sheer talent and hard work that has brought him this far. And it's about to pay off with a future only the children of royals and nobles can typically dream of. That is, until his transport ship crashes, and he's left with nothing but an outdated spacesuit, a small box of tools and his wits to survive. Oxygen is ticking down, let alone food, water, heat and shelter. He's never been too fond of conflict, but in this lawless, eternal darkness, it's either fight or die. Struggle down to the last drop of blood. Raid broken starships for groundbreaking technology. Improvise machines from scavenged parts, construct a mech suit capable of bringing down a warship, and strike deals with AIs capable of a hundred times the cunning of any mortal man. Mingle with talented and mysterious women with beauty only royal-class genemodding could produce. Chip implants made for imperial soldiers, interface with weapons never meant for the eyes of man. Build a base, build a starship, build a harem and take control of the darkness between the stars. In the end, it's an infinite universe full of secrets, and Mark is just some innocent guy with a lion's heart. A love letter to the game Rimworld and the light novel Reborn as a Space Mercenary. For no particular reason, there's many instances of cute, silly creatures like space robot cats and marketable plushies. New chapters released every Sunday morning.
