It originated as a Web Serial Novel and was published by GC Novels in Japan. A manga adaptation drawn by Shinichi Matsui is also in production. The novels and manga are being translated to English by Seven Seas Entertainment.Captain Takahiro "Hiro" Satou was your typical Japanese salary-man whose normal routine involves going to work, coming home, grabbing a bite to eat, spend an hour or two on his favorite MMO, Stella Online, and then going to sleep.Except one "morning," he wakes up shivering cold in the cockpit of a spaceship that matches his on-line ship, the Krishna. As soon as he gets his ship warmed up, he gets jumped by pirates.Fortunately for him, looting the wrecks that result from his successful battle nets him a plausible cover story, the layout of the star-system he's in, and the credentials he needs to become a very, very successful mercenary.See also Survival in Another World with My Mistress! by the same author.

Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! / int_12dd1d4c	comment	Rape as Drama: Prisoners are not segregated by gender, so Prison Rape is a persistent issue, especially if a Merc finds herself being shipped off to a Penal Colony when a fine too big for her to pay gets slapped onto her. The space-station colonial slums are worse. Attractive women who wind up there tend to be gang-raped and drugged, forced into prostitution and then abandoned when they're no longer profitable, left in puddles of their own waste and facing the withdrawal symptoms.

Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! / int_1a8dc238	comment	Underestimating Badassery: The Krishna and, later, the Black Lotus both weaponize this, with their weapons folding away into concealment, so that they look unarmed at first glance. When a pirate thinks heâ€™s found some easy prey, then the Krishna suddenly deploys a compliment of heavy lasers and flak cannons. The Black Lotus takes this even further, being made to look like a standard cargo or mining vessel, before it unfolds its own compliment of powerful weapons, including a high-power railgun, while also deploying that aforementioned Krishna. One of Hiroâ€™s favorite tactics is to play at being a merchant or miner to lure pirates in, then decimate them as soon as they take the bait.

While the concept of not inheriting a parent's debt exists, it requires legal action within a time limit, which Mimi didn't have the expertise or assistance to deal with.

Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! / int_28b2f93a	comment	Slavery Is a Special Kind of Evil: While the legal slave trade in the Grakkan Empire is very, very strictly regulated, and people often willingly throw themselves into slavery to improve their social standing, actively resisting being freed, the primary reason piracy is universally hated is because pirates care not a whit about the well-being of their "merchandise." Pirates raid tourist liners, merchant vessels, colonies, and even entire planets, take their slave cargo by force, and then put them through unseen "processing" that completely crushes their ego and free will, making them little more than flesh based robots. The chances of rescue and recovery are so slim, Hiro equates it to a divine miracle. In fact, Serena Holz actively tries to rescue a pirate controlled slave-colony outpost in the Theta System arc only to learn it's all but suicidal, as the slaves in question charge the marines as suicide bombers. She, regretfully, has to call off the rescue and then bombard the base into oblivion.

Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! / int_2bdae2ae	comment	Awesome, but Impractical: Several prominent cases. The White Swan heavy frigate. It has great specs, focused on speed and maneuverability, but it's not only wildly expensive to maintain and repair, but is extremely difficult to pilot. Even Hiro couldn't do it in Stella Online. The biggest drawback though is that under the right conditions, it will go "berserk," which means it will ignore all input and accelerate in a straight line until it runs out of fuel, and then explode! Poor Elma learns this the hard way, and only survives because her Swan collides with a police ship and is disabled before it runs out of fuel. Anti-ship counter-reactive torpedoes: Hiro starts the story outfitted with four of these. They allow his Simple, yet Awesome fighter to punch way, way above his class, even on screen blowing up a heavily armored and shielded battle-ship. However, they are wildly expensive, at 500,000 Ener each, on the cheap side, and are extremely rare to boot, they are also easy to shoot down with point defenses, so it takes a truly talented pilot to use them properly. In chapter 100, web novel, the suppression ship is introduced. They're light fighters that sport a battleship's shields and generator, are designed to drill into an enemy battleship's hull, and offload commandos, but cost 50 mil each and are so impractical that the Grakkan military calls them "Noble's mobile coffins."

Turns out, they actually do have a logical real world reason for it, and it's pretty similar to the videogame one. The buildings are mass manufactured, and uniqueness is too much of a luxury.

Serena Holz has even been trying to set up a deniable privateer force for special military operations in the war with the Belbellum Federation.

Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! / int_3b39c254	comment	Dystopia: The disparity between the haves and have-nots is enormous. Buying a planet-side house costs hundreds of millions of Ener (roughly the same value as US dollars), just to be a citizen and buy the place. Everyone else (roughly 80% of all people) lives in space-station colonies as officially registered second-class citizens, unless a tragedy occurs, where the unfortunate get dumped into the slums, and have no rights whatsoever, and piracy is an ever present threat. Even wiping out a pirate base is only a short-term fix, as other pirates will soon move in to fill the void. As if that wasn't bad enough, the government officials in charge of those space stations are rife with corruption, and there's apparently no courts or legal system to which a civilian can file an appeal.

Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! / int_4054d97e	comment	Hero's Slave Harem: Played with. Hiro rescues Mimi from an attempted gang-rape, buys out her debts, and hires her as a trainee crew member to work them off. Mimi insists on sleeping with him that night; he's initially reluctant but she succeeds in seducing him. A similar situation plays out later with Elma, an experienced mercenary pilot who incurs massive fines in an accidental collision. It's not until way later that either girl bothers to explain to him that, by local custom, if a man hires a female crew member, she's consenting to be his doxy in addition to her other duties; they mistakenly assumed he already knew. He's a little shocked by this, but decides that what's done is done, and the fact that both girls do actively love him and enjoy having sex with him doesn't hurt.Once aware of the custom, Hiro specifically recruits only women whom he's mutually attracted to and who have useful skills, and makes sure to be clear that sharing his bed is strictly optional. He accepts the android Mei (designed according to his own sexual fantasies) onto his crew after the Cierra III resort management AI has her built for him as a marketing ploy, tries to hire the buxom Dr. Shouko as chief medical officer (she initially turns him down), and then contracts for the dwarf engineers Tina and Wiska to be placed on his crew by their company. He also actively refuses Serena Holz and Chris Daleinwald: Chris is way too young for him (not to mention her powerful grandfather would probably have him killed), and unfortunately for Serena, he finds her personality repellent.

Less than 5% of mercenaries reach Gold (after which they're considered a One-Man Army) while only 13 have achieved Platinum, which is treated as a noble title equal to a viscount. Hiro is outright stated to be Platinum-tier after his first pirate-subjugation mission.

Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! / int_70ade2c4	comment	Culture Clash: The protagonist, Hiro, comes from modern Japan and has no ulterior motive for inviting Mimi and Elma into his ship as crew-members, because the two of them were on hard times and genuinely needed his help to get back on their feet. He later learns that when a woman agrees to enter a man's ship, she's implicitly signing up to be his sex-toy, for which she gets a salary based on a percentage of his income. He doesn't learn this until after both Mimi and Elma have thrown themselves at him, and he accepted their advances. Coming from a democratic society, Hiro is extremely put-off by the Feudal Future society of the Grakkan Empire he finds himself in, and has to be educated about proper customs and warned that pissing off a noble for any reason can end up with him being stabbed by a sword, beheaded, or thrown in prison forever, as nobles are considered to be above the law unless they pick fights with other nobles.

The crew are able to get real food when they vacation on a resort planet in volume 3.

In particular, no one knows how their singing crystals somehow summon them out of nowhere, even though this research could probably be useful for improving Faster-Than-Light Travel.

Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! / int_b7475a74	comment	Bothering by the Book: In volume 2, the vampish Serena Holz tries to force Hiro into going on a date with her by casting it as a working lunch (he's currently contracted to her as a trainer for a Navy pirate-hunting task force). Hiro turns it back on her when Elma calls his terminal at an opportune moment: having not seen them in a couple of weeks due to his current contract, he invites Elma and Mimi to lunch with them, reasoning to Serena that if it's work-related, there's no reason not to bring his crew members along.

After shopping on Cierra III, the first clothes Mimi buys for Hiro look just like Kanji's default outfit. In the light novel, Volume 2 Chapter 7's title "Lieutenants Have Layers" is a reference to the "ogres have layers" conversation from Shrek. When told that Imperial nobles in full battle rattle can deflect gunfire with their swords, Hiro is immediately reminded of "J*di". The crew settles on the name Black Lotus for their mothership in volume 5. Hiro comments that it makes the ship "sound strong and expensive" in a reference to a notoriously overpowered Magic: The Gathering card.

It has great specs, focused on speed and maneuverability, but it's not only wildly expensive to maintain and repair, but is extremely difficult to pilot. Even Hiro couldn't do it in Stella Online. The biggest drawback though is that under the right conditions, it will go "berserk," which means it will ignore all input and accelerate in a straight line until it runs out of fuel, and then explode! Poor Elma learns this the hard way, and only survives because her Swan collides with a police ship and is disabled before it runs out of fuel.

Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! / int_f9f2c33	comment	It's a Running Gag that other men, especially mercenaries, are jealous of Hiro having attractive women in his crew. They're also bewildered at all the amenities he can afford and one has a Heroic BSoD upon seeing the latest model of auto-cookers on Hiro's mothership.

Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! / int_fbe1f324	comment	The crew settles on the name Black Lotus for their mothership in volume 5. Hiro comments that it makes the ship "sound strong and expensive" in a reference to a notoriously overpowered Magic: The Gathering card.

Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! / int_fc225bec	comment	Artistic License â€“ Physics: While the science in this series is normally pretty soft, one thing it gets right is that carbonated beverages don't behave well in microgravity. Hiro can't remember the details, but the Real Life reason is that carbon dioxide bubbles don't float to the top in microgravity, which can cause soda and beer to become a foamy mess. This is much to Hiro's annoyance, since sodas were his Trademark Favorite Food on Earth, and motivates him to save to buy a house planetside just so he can have one. The problem with this plot point is, everywhere the cast goes appears to have Artificial Gravity of some kind. Soft drinks would only make a mess if that failed for some reason—believable on a spaceship, but the first Space Station Hiro visits is a bicycle-wheel style that appears to generate Centrifugal Gravity.

Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship! / int_fcf6bca9	comment	Robosexual: Mimi had an ex-boyfriend who lost all interest in her after being gifted a Maidroid, which is exactly what it sounds like: a Ridiculously Human Robot in the form of a Meido. She is therefore not pleased when Hiro is given a custom Maidroid of his own by a resort planet's AI after going a bit nuts designing one during downtime (without planning to actually place an order), though Mei is able to win her over soon enough. In the same book, we're told that robot fetishists were partly responsible for helping resolve a past Robot War with a settlement that guaranteed civil rights protections to "machine intelligences".
