The other option was service in the Angel Fleet. While not as popular an option as becoming a badass Demi, Fleet work was an equally crucial part of the war effort.
The job of Fleet hand varied greatly depending on aptitude. From the same assessment group there could be someone moving on to officer training, another several going to receive instructions on how to man our nation's legendary Poly-class cruisers, and yet another number of people moving on to become part of a squadron of Knife-class fighter ships. While not quite as densely populated as the Demis, when fighters were being drawn from entire planets' worth of people, the end result was still an enormous force, and one with a slightly better survivability chance.
Still, in every propaganda video I'd seen of our heroic Fleet there'd been a good number of Fleet hands and pilots shown whose ships were suddenly turned into their fiery coffins.
In the end, I couldn't decide by myself. I let the memory of my grandfather be my guide, and just like him I decided on....
