"Don't come back! Don't return!"

That was the last message Tom received from Earth before the signal died. Stranded 15 billion kilometers from the sun, he has enough supplies to survive alone for fifteen years.

But Tom doesn't want to die alone. He wants to conquer.
Desperate, Tom activates the ship’s biological livestock tank. He doesn't breed cattle; he clones himself. When the clone opens its eyes, Tom realizes he hasn't just created a helper, He has unlocked a Hive Mind.

One consciousness. Multiple bodies. Parallel processing.
More clone, more processing power

But power has a price. With twelve clones now awake, his fifteen-year food supply has shrunk to a death sentence: One year.
Forced into a corner, Tom must lead his clone army to the frozen, airless surface of Loshen Star. Armed only with 19th-century steam technology and sheer grit, he must ignite the fires of industry in absolute zero.

He is no longer just an astronaut. He is the Swarm. And he will turn this dead planet into a civilization of one.

This alliance should be a liability for them. After all, they would have many civilizations to protect for no reason. As for the logistical support and production that lower-level civilizations can provide to higher-level civilizations...
