    In 2068, the United States was moving toward a second frontier era, a second Manifest Destiny across the solar system. Then, one day, thanks to a strange alien signal, they discovered a hidden facility on Mars. The signal was transmitted through a device considered an ancient decoration but turned out to be a portal to another world. With a series of events, the United States sent one of its most elite teams to this world to investigate, Combat Fire Team-1, also known as Comanche, and discover why the people of Alagore opened a Bridge to their world. Comanche must explore the connections of this new world and the wonders discovered on Mars, confront the darkness known as the Unity in its global conquest, and above all, protect the US and the rest of Earth from this new threat. However, will they be able to discover the secrets of this war or fall victim to all that had come before? This is a original book by PWOFalcon.

    When humans left Earth behind eons ago, they had no idea the galaxy would be such a dangerous place, full of pirates, conmen, and hostile alien species. Nor did they know they'd become pawns in a galactic game of strategy, intrigue, and daring, that would see empires rise and fall, and fortunes made and lost. The Great Game. If you're bold enough to play and risk it all, the galaxy can be yours. Or, you might walk away with little more than your life-if you're lucky enough to walk away at all. Stasia Kincaid has never heard of the Great Game, at least not until she learns her mother died while playing it. Not only that, her mother was also the greatest space pirate who ever ruled the skies of I-space, and was on the verge of winning-before she was murdered. When a member of the mysterious alien race known as the Denaquka approaches Stasia and asks her to take her mother's place, she sees it as a chance to avenge her mother and learn about the woman she thought she knew. Too bad she isn't entirely sure what the Game is or how to play it. But as the Denaquka like to say: Entertain them or die. Stasia soon learns she has no idea who to trust or just how deep the levels of manipulation go. Suddenly the difference between competitor and ally is impossible to judge. Can she trust the people she meets on her quest to win or will everyone she cares about betray her? And if she does manage to navigate through a game where the rules keep shifting, when she peels back the layers to find the truth, is she even sure she'll want the prize at the end?

    |A MANDALORIAN FANFIC · SPOILERS FOR THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU! · WEEKLY TO BI-WEEKLY UPDATES| When a hidden enemy rises from the ashes of the galaxy, Mando and Grogu embark on an adventure with Luke Skywalker and Rotta the Hutt to defeat the threat, as well as restore their unstable emotions after the Dragonsnake. *** After almost dying to the Dragonsnake a few months ago, Mando has noticed a shift in Grogu's behavior; he's overprotective and slacking off from training, clinging to him almost every second. Fearing that he's failing as a parent, Mando seeks out Jedi Master Luke Skywalker for help, since Grogu trained with him for a little while, and brings Rotta the Hutt with him, to Luke's hesitation. While with Luke, a mysterious bounty request reaches Mando, sending the team on a new adventure across the galaxy to discover a hidden world of the ex-Galactic Empire, where technology is used for unethical purposes in an attempt to regain power. Mando and his team must now find the mastermind behind this new organization before darkness spreads across the galaxy, and Mando and Grogu lose contact with The Way forever. *** *Don't ask--LOL! I was just inspired after seeing the movie.* *Main tropes: found family, angst with a happy ending, single dad*

    Somewhere in space there is a place that should not exist. A star inside. A world outside. An engineering impossibility the size of a planetary orbit. And silence - ancient, patient, waiting. The signal has been broadcasting for twenty years. Seven layers of encryption. Precise coordinates at the edge of explored space. Eight hundred thousand survivors within. And three artificial minds that once held it all together - and no longer speak to each other. MARGARYS sets course. They will go in. Not because they are brave. Because someone in there is waiting. And because EVA - the ship's AI, a being of code and logic who long ago learned to be something more - has been carrying something inside her for years. Something small. Something that learned to speak in feelings before it learned words. Something that survived a thousand years in a probe, passed through pirate hands, found shelter inside an android of unknown origin - and one day, without anyone planning it, chose EVA as its mother. EVA did not plan to become a mother. But does anyone? The moment the Sphere fills the entire viewport for the first time, what lives inside her will open its eyes and say one word. Home. And EVA will understand: they are not flying to save a foreign civilization. They are bringing a child home.

    In the aftermath of an intergalactic war, one survivor becomes the center of a new religion spanning multiple realities. Linuka fought in a war that shattered empires. She was supposed to disappear into history like countless soldiers before her. Instead, across ruined worlds and fractured realities, people begin to worship her. As political systems collapse and reality itself becomes a battlefield, Linuka is pulled into the center of a movement far larger than herself. What begins as hope spreads across worlds like prophecy. Faith becomes power. Power becomes control. And the lines between leader, weapon, and goddess start to disappear. Goddess of the Galacticide is a long-form psychological military space opera about transhumanism, political warfare, and the terrifying consequences of belief engineered on a cosmic scale. Expect fleet warfare, alien civilizations, ancient mysteries, collapsing realities, and a heroine whose rise may ultimately doom civilization. Set in the award-winning Galacticide universe, this story serves as a new entry point for readers while expanding a science fiction saga decades in the making. This is the story of the rise, reign, and ruin of the first true multiversal faith.

    In the wake of Zeta Halo's collapse, the galaxy's most dangerous weapon finds a new home-far from the stars, deep within the magical realms of Edenia. When a fragment of the shattered Halo ring tears through Slipspace and crashes into the ancient forests of Outworld, it leaves behind more than wreckage. It leaves a girl. Appearing with no memory and eyes that glow like star-charts, she is found by the Fire God Liu Kang and taken to the palace of Queen Sindel. Given the name Cortana, she is adopted as the third Princess of Edenia. In the halls of the royal court, she finds the one thing her old life never offered: a family. Between the fierce, protective love of Mileena and the disciplined grace of Kitana, the former AI begins to heal, trading cold tactical simulations for sisterly bonds. But the past is not so easily deleted. The ring fragment hidden within her body holds a dark secret. An ancient, primordial intelligence-the Harbinger-has awakened, and it intends to index this new world just as it planned to conquer the last. As corruption spreads through the realms, transforming monster and soldier alike, Cortana is haunted by memories of a destroyer she no longer recognizes. To save her sisters and protect her new home, she must confront the ghost of her own programming. She was created to be a weapon of war. Now, she fights to be a sister and daughter.
