Star Wars: Crossover Saga
Star Wars: Crossover Saga - Terran Mandate's technology versus the Force and clones. After the Interlopers were defeated and the Seven Horses of the Apocalypse were prevented from causing any further disruption, life on Terra returned to normal, with a few hiccups along the way. Many members gradually returned to civilian life. Over time, some major events occurred, but ultimately, humanity prevailed. As faster-than-light engines, reverse-engineered from the Interlopers' databases, improved, it became possible to explore and colonise space beyond our vision. However, this also meant that threats from outer space could reappear and endanger humanity. Over time, the intricate machinery of humanity's new fleet of space warships - with each nation having prioritised their own due to mistrust shortly after the Siren Wars - eventually led to the Kansen being either revived or conscripted back into military service. They were the vanguard of many space colony ships, venturing deep into the unknown. Some discovered barren but habitable planets, while others found that former lifeforms had ceased to exist due to mismanaged wars and climate change. However, one fleet, the Ironblood Space Exploration Armada, stumbled upon a massive war spanning hundreds of thousands of planets. They faced off against battle droids, clones in white armour and people wielding lightsabers. They even encountered pirates who quickly regretted entering gunnery range, as well as simple bureaucracy that could end everything. So, will the Ironblood and Terra emerge victorious, or will this lead to an even bigger war than we can comprehend? Or will the Force prevail in the end? Please note that the battles cannot be arranged in chronological order, as the series never made it clear when events occurred. Don't expect a great show; just be aware that the initial battles may be confusing. This story is still a work in progress. Characters and crossover factions will appear at a later date.

Starpiercer: Sunlight's Edge
Nobody said Rock Hauling would be easy. Throughout settled space, terraforming is the fuel that drives the interstellar economy. For some worlds, this is easy. For others, lacking resources, or on the periphery, this is an unattainable dream. Through the eyes of workers, astronauts and intellectuals, Sunlight's Edge follows an attempt to revitalize the crumbled terraforming project of the barren, poverty-stricken and resource-poor planet of Tylo. To carry this out, the beggared planetary government has commissioned the crew of the aging, if powerful asteroid-cracker Caroline Rowland to make the three-month journey to a distant asteroid belt and tug a selected asteroid back into orbit for conversion into a space station. This is difficult enough by itself, but located in a strategic demilitarized zone between two rival interstellar hegemons, Tylo and it's project may be the flashpoint for a conflict of apocalyptic proportions, with the Caroline Rowland and her crew as the spark that lights the tinder. This is the debut novella for the world of Starpiercer, a planned series of novels set in the 200-world region of Solace with accompanying illustrations, sketches, maps, technical details and more. Read along to meet alien species, experience real and speculative technologies, and follow a sprawling interconnected narrative over multiple novels and multiple series, with fully realized histories, culture groups, physics, biology, anthropology and thousands of pages of worldbuilding. This story has been fully written, and more sections will be published daily, hourly, or in other chunks.Complete
