Description
Captain Ravik Neravik expected glory. Born into privilege and bred for command, he was certain his place on the Emperor’s flagship was guaranteed.
Instead, he’s transferred to the Shadow Vanguard, a formidable Special Ops unit. His mission begins aboard the Revenant, under the authority of the cold and enigmatic Commander Zarion.
Imperious, unreadable, and feared across the stars, Zarion sees straight through Ravik’s polished façade. Aboard the Revenant, reputation means nothing. Every mission is survival. Every interaction a test. And the harder Ravik resists, the faster his certainties begin to unravel.
A slow-burn BL space opera about power, vulnerability, and what it means to surrender—on the battlefield and beyond.

IMPERIAL TRANSMISSION // SHADOW VANGUARD
The Shadow Vanguard doesn’t operate in the spotlight.
Neither does this story.
I’m an independent creator who loves building worlds, designing characters, and exploring the tension between duty, identity, and desire. Ravik of Xerion: Rank & Ruin is my way of exploring how an elite unit operates at the edges of the Empire, and how one violet-eyed captain learns that growth rarely comes without cost.
Your support helps keep me inspired and allows me to create additional content: bonus art, character insights, and extra “mission files” that reveal the inner workings of the Empire. It also helps me dedicate more time and resources to expanding Ravik’s journey as he’s tested, challenged, and reshaped by the Shadow Vanguard.
Whether you’re here for the slow burn, the missions, or the characters unraveling under pressure... thank you for standing with me!
