Introduction

Hi friends,

Today, we'll be covering the lingering ghost of the galactic powers. Even more so than the JFN. Yup, it's the Goa'uld Remnant.

The Goa'uld Remnant

As its name implies, the Goa'uld Remnant is the last vestiges of the old Goa'uld Empire. Its name however is a very good indication of how far the Empire has fallen. Once the galaxy's dominant power, now it is reduced to a relatively small collection of holdings in the Outer and Scutum–Centaurus Arms that amount to a mere 8% of the Empire's holdings at its height.

Despite these losses and the radical changes that have swept across the galaxy, it still rather pretentiously behaves as if the old Empire would. With the remaining System Lords reorganizing under their new Supreme System Lord, Ba'al, laying claim to the whole galaxy and its people. How this reorganization took place is not fully known due to the often byzantine nature of Goa'uld politics. Not even Nimue is fully sure.

What we do know is that after Anubis' defeat, Ba'al found himself in command of his Kull which he proceeded to use to great effect in assassinating his rivals and rapidly securing a power base. He combined this with acquiring a large portion of his former overlord's advanced technologies as well, raiding numerous secret bases that he had been privy to. As a result, despite being one of the weakest System Lords at the time of Anubis' fall, he quickly became the most powerful.

With such a cunning leader at its head, the Goa'uld Remnant's threat level cannot be underestimated. Especially as it still possesses truly formidable fleets and large Jaffa armies. Though these are steadily getting ground down by the relentless attacks from the Chiropteran Swarm, Albion and the Jade Empire, who after years of failed attempts to crush it outright have now resorted into a prolonged war of attrition that the Remnant have little hope of winning to destroy their most hated foe. This is known as the Long War.

With this Book 3 of The Wars of Legends is done! That's incredible. I must admit that when I started this project, I had doubts I would get this far but I persevered and did it. I'm a lot more confident now of completing this entire project. So I hope you guys stick around for it.

Writing this book was also quite a ride. I honestly could see my improvement as a writer as I worked on this. It was humbling and exhilarating at the same time. I hope you guys agree with me on this point.

So I'm likely to be busy at my usual release time tomorrow, so I'm gonna release early instead.

The first chapter of the next book Bridging Interludes should be up in a bit, so look forward to that.

Well, that's it from me for now. Till the next book, ciao!
