A host ship to several colonies of humans and aliens is attacked in deep space. Irreparably crippled, they float for years just barely maintaining life support. Their societies and collective sanities both deteriorate until finally, the last few of them are able to guide the ship into landing onto an unknown planet. Their chaos then spills from the ship onto the surface as the survivors struggle to establish a settlement on land. Waiting to greet them though, is a paranormal creature far horrifying than anything they ever endured while in the hell of deep space and it comes with an unholy demand.

ALIEN: EREBUS
Set between the events of Prometheus and Alien: Romulus, Alien: Erebus is a harrowing tale of survival, corporate greed, and the unimaginable horrors lurking within the deep reaches of space. The story follows a new crew aboard the USCSS Erebus, a research vessel originally sent to explore a mysterious anomaly on the fringes of known space. Decades after the ship's disappearance, the wreckage of the Erebus is discovered by a salvage crew seeking to cash in on the corporation's latest lucrative find. As the crew begins to investigate the abandoned ship, they quickly discover the truth behind its fate. What was supposed to be a routine mission becomes a nightmare as they uncover the remnants of a dark experiment-one that was directly linked to the Prometheus expedition. A dangerous alien organism, born of the Engineers' ancient experiments, had been secretly transported aboard, causing the Erebus to crash in the void. The crew, desperate to escape, failed to destroy the creatures, and the ship became a floating tomb. In the wake of the ship's rediscovery, the salvage team, along with a handful of survivors, must navigate the haunting ruins of the Erebus as they face an all-consuming terror that has only grown stronger over the years. But what they don't know is that the horrors aboard the Erebus were not just biological-they were also tied to Weyland-Yutani's insidious plot to weaponize the Xenomorphs, using the alien DNA to manipulate human physiology and enhance their military assets. As the creature within the ship awakens, the survivors must battle their inner demons, face corporate betrayal, and contend with the terror that stalks them through the ship's wreckage. But their escape may not be enough. In the darkness of space, no one can hear you scream-especially if the Xenomorphs have learned to adapt. Will the creatures be eradicated, or will humanity be left to face a new, more terrifying chapter in its history? Only time will tell-but it won't be easy.

Earth, our home. But... something is wrong. As the nature of reality makes itself known, watch earth react, and change, with fear, hate, progress, and love.

Amongst the Stars
My lungs and muscles burned. Everything in my body begging me to stop but I had to keep moving. I had to get away. I rather die than go back to that lab but this building was a maze! Never ending hallways and big metal sliding doors that you see in space movies. All I could hear was the patter of my bare feet, heavy breathing, and my heart beating in my ears. "Hey!!! Stop her! Whatever you do, do NOT let her get away!!" A man yelled after me but I couldn't look back. Even as I heard the whoosh of metal doors opening and the thudding of boots chasing after me.Complete
Hybrid: The Awakening

And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.Complete
Illiya - Taylor Neeran Chronicles #1
A.D. 3485 Missing out on the next semester of university was the least of my problems. Getting stuck on an alien planet was infinitely worse. It could have happened to anyone, really. Except they don't generally invite university students along to survey new planets. There are probably good reasons for that, but, well - the captain of the ship was my absentee mother, and an exception was made. I was supposed to have two whole months to get to know her better while I sharpened my Xenobiology skills in a verdant paradise. With any luck, I would graduate early. Then I messed up, big-time. Now I'm lost, alone and struggling to survive, stranded ten thousand light-years from home.Complete
Your Wings Will Betray You
In a distant future where humanity has abandoned Earth in favor of colonizing the entire universe, the dangerous job of piloting ships has been delegated to androids. When one of those pilots goes on a murderous rampage, it's set to be decommissioned by the Magnus-Barlowe corporation. Unfortunately, this AI is self-aware, and the engineer is an idiot. A scientist staging a prison break steals both a ship and the android to be its pilot, hoping to escape the claws of capitalism. An opportunity to do just that is presented when the mismatched crew is presented with a task: rescue the kidnapped daughter of a black-market salesman and be granted safe passage to a planet without a single MBC colony to bother them. Even though making deals with thieves is generally regarded as a bad idea, there doesn't really seem to be a choice for these wayward souls. With a crew made up of human and synthetic criminals, getting one measly kid from a space station full of scientists can't be too hard. Right? on hiatus
The Cave
Five co-workers and a guide struggle with a creature, a live relic from the past and from another dimensional plane. The creature is simultaneously lizard and birdlike, while also having anthropoidic characteristics. Once upon a time, this alien race made contact with a lost human Civilization in the region. The two races initially made an alliance, but the greed of some of the humans caused a war to erupt. The discovery and cursory inspection of the cave by one of the characters results in an impromptu, amateur tour. During the journey through the cave one of the co-workers, through a combination of stubbornness, curiosity and willfulness, becomes separated. He stumbles upon a cache of interesting artifacts inside of an oddly inhuman room with alien technology. It is in these confines where he unlocks the being whose last memories of human interaction are still freshly stinging its memory. The group grapples through the tenuous caves trying to escape the creature's vengeful wrath. The ensuing mad flight from the cave to relative safety results in a battle for survival.Complete
