What a fantastic idea for a story. I love the concept of a pirate ship roaming space too. There is certainly enough in this overview to make me want to read further.
My two questions (and of course they don't need answering, they are just my thoughts) - are...
Firstly - Is 100 years really enough for a monstrous war to just be a page in a history book?
Secondly - I assumed Julius and Laina to be human, if they stumble on the relic which hold a secret that could bring about the return of the wars - why would they protect it and not destroy it.
Did you intend the reader to be asking that last question?
I was SO not expecting the twist at the end, what a fabulous, devastating end to your tale.
The strength of this writing is in the idea, the pull of this very real love (which we can all related to) and then the powerful punch at the end - dealing with loss and grief.
If I was to be VERY picky I'd say that some of your word choices make this slightly more 'cheesey' in places whic possibly detracts from the emotional integrity of your writing.
Hope this helps... Please ignore if not (!)
