    For centuries, humanity battled its own demons-war, destruction, the ever-present shadow of extinction. But against all odds, it endured. Nations united, wounds healed, and a single banner rose above the entire Earth: United Earth Government and later the United Federation of Planets. By the year 2288, humanity had transformed from a fractured species into a galactic civilization. The Federation stretched across the stars, its influence reaching every corner of the Milky Way. It was an era of peace, progress, and unmatched technological triumph. And yet... they were alone. No matter how far their ships traveled or how many worlds they surveyed, there was no sign of other intelligent life. The universe vast, ancient, and beautiful remained eerily silent. Theories once whispered in academic circles, the "Great Filter," the "Rare Earth" now loomed large and terrifying. Was intelligence a cosmic accident? Was humanity the only one to make it this far? Then, everything changed. On the eve of humanity's historic voyage to Andromeda (M31). As their science vessel prepared for its journey across 2.6 million light years, something unprecedented occurred. In a flash, space itself seemed to twist and fold, as the Milky Way merged with another galaxy in instant, one far larger and older than their own. Now, in this strange, limitless frontier, humanity's greatest adventure was only just beginning. Would they adapt and survive, or uncover something beyond their wildest understanding? Only time would reveal the truth... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heavily influenced by Nihonkoku Shoukan by Minorou, Anime GATE and various nation summoned novels here in wattpad.

    The New Republic is fracturing. The First Order is rising. Svenja Kroenke, a young officer, talented yet humble, trained in robotics and command systems, is pulled from Earth - by an ancient mysterious Order older than the Jedi - into a conflict where victory is never clean and every decision leaves a residue. Across the board stands Thrawn: brilliant, patient, and convinced that stability matters more than mercy. His enemies are gone or cornered, and the galaxy is running out of room to stop him. This is not a story of chosen ones or easy triumphs, but of strategic warfare, political friction, and the quiet weight of responsibility. For readers who enjoy competence-driven science fiction, moral complexity, and space battles where outcomes are shaped long before the first shot is fired. Svenja vs Thrawn is not a story of easy heroes or simple battles, but of intelligence under constraint, institutional pressure, and the moral weight of decisions that cannot be undone. For readers who prefer restraint over spectacle, and consequence over comfort. Note: * Will be published on RoyalRoad as well

    The galaxy believes Lyra Valen is dead. Darth Vader believes it too. But death is not always an ending. Hidden in the shadows of a rising Empire, Lyra awakens-fractured, changed, and severed from the Force bond that once tied her to the man she loved. While Vader rises as the Emperor's most feared enforcer, hunting the last sparks of rebellion across the stars, a new presence begins to move in secret. They were once bound by destiny. Now they are divided by silence. As whispers of a "Phantom Queen" begin to spread through the Outer Rim, the Empire tightens its grip. Vader feels something missing-but cannot name it. Lyra feels something broken-but refuses to let it define her. And when the past begins to stir... The Force itself may tremble. The Phantom Queen is the continuation of The Forsaken Oath, Book II in the Shadows of Fate trilogy-a story of love turned legend, power turned prison, and the dangerous hope that survives even in the dark.

    She survived the end of her world. Katayaa Sovijess should have died with her people. Instead, she wakes in an enemy prison - her body broken, rebuilt, and no longer entirely her own by the very people who are working diligently to wipe her species from existence - now they hold her captive, watching, waiting... as if she matters more than she should. With no way out, Katayaa turns to the one skill she's carried since childhood: The Shorta'Diel-the Memory Dance. Through it, she can relive her past with perfect clarity. Every moment. Every choice. Every fragment of a life that no longer exists. But as she begins to piece those memories together, something doesn't fit. The events of her life up to the destruction of her world wasn't random. It was precise. Intentional. And somewhere within her past - buried in moments that once seemed small - are threads that connect her to what happened. Not as the cause... but not entirely separate, either. As her captors close in and the truth begins to surface, Katayaa is forced to confront a question she can't outrun: "If her past helped shape the future that destroyed her people... what does that make her now?" "..and why are they keeping her alive?"

    Two planets. One broken world. A war with no clean answers. When the artifact that once held a civilization together was shattered by two warring kings, a single planet became two - and the conflict that followed has never stopped. A-2148 built X-N1X for one purpose: to win that war. Engineered, briefed, and deployed, Nix believes in the cause completely. It was made to. But belief is a strange thing to build into something that was never supposed to feel. 2148 is a sci-fi story about loyalty, identity, and what happens when a war machine starts asking questions it wasn't designed to ask.

    She never asked to lead. She never wanted to be followed. Now, across countless worlds, they call her goddess. Set in a fractured galactic empire after interstellar war, this is a long-form space opera exploring transhumanism, faith, and power across multiple confirmed realities. In the wake of cataclysm, a reluctant figure rises from the ashes of war. Linuka-soldier, survivor, symbol-becomes the unexpected catalyst for something unprecedented: a belief system that spans not just worlds, but entire realities. As her image ascends, so does a movement-one that grows into the first true multiversal religion. You don't need to have read the Galacticide trilogy to begin here. But you're stepping into a universe decades in the making-rich with history, conflict, and consequence. This is a new beginning, and a bold saga in its own right: the rise, rule, and eventual unraveling of an idea powerful enough to unite, or destroy, all that remains. Goddess of the Galacticide blends space opera with psychological drama, mythology, and political warfare on a cosmic scale. Whether you're just arriving or have walked these ruined galaxies before-welcome. The next age begins now.

It disappeared. A standalone story set in the Taemi universe - no prior reading required.

    Prepare for a Martian story of Hard Science and Painful Majic so explosive you'll have to change yourself just to be ready for it. Don't worry, it'll take us four years to get there from Earth, and in the process every cell in your body, now Homo Sapien, will gradually be replaced by Homo Martianus. I wish this deeply queer process alone could prepare you for the harsh nature of the surface. It won't. But, because of it, there is a chance that you'll survive. The systems that govern the planets however; they crumble around our would-be heroes. Human ambition rains from the skies as the foundations of the old world collapse. Write a song of destiny, find your players, and together form a ritual to transmute the reality of the planet Marsha itself into a rousing conspiracy thriller in which every chapter evolves alongside you, and every act is the sometimes uncontrolled demolition of the corrupt old world. When the Coda ends, what will be left of them? A new life on Marsha awaits. It will not be comfortable, but it will be alien. Vivit Terra Nova! Vivit 'l Tera-Rust!

    A millennium into the future, the universe is bound by the Resonance. A sacred frequency that governs both soul and star. In an age shaped by the promise of universal peace, the Alliance of Worlds stands as humanity's greatest achievement. But beneath its harmony. And the unyielding law that sustains it. Something is rotting. N'Avira is the Prophet of the Resonance. Feared, absolute, and the only one who can feel the truth beneath reality itself. When she senses an aberrant frequency spreading through a techno cult known as the Volut, an entity engineering gods in pursuit of a twisted immortality, she uncovers a truth that the Alliance cannot survive. To stop it, she must form a forbidden alliance with Ca'Aro. A battle-hardened prince who rejects her faith and trusts only in logic and grit. Enemies by nature, they are forced to confront a reality neither religion nor science can explain. Because the truth is far worse than either of them had imagined. The very systems meant to protect humanity have become the host for something else. Something that seeks to erase the soul itself. Together, they must tear down the illusions of both religion and technology before the Volut becomes the only reality left. And humanity is remade into something unrecognizable.

    In a galaxy struggling for its very survival, the Planetary Order is facing a stalemate with its longtime enemy. With resources thin and allies exhausted, the P.O. turns to what they believe is a small group of pirates to toss into the fray. The man called the Pirate King has a small fleet but rumors persist of his power and exploits. Brooding over the death of his wife and child at the hands of a mutual enemy, he has little to lose until he found her on a Planetary Order vessel filled with those who don't trust him. Trigger warnings??? not really. Lots of four letter words (This, That, said, steel etc) but no profanity. I don't include explicit scenes of a sexual nature in my stories. Some people get mad and spaceships blow up if that upsets you for some reason.
