World's Apart by charlinejoygeduldt

When the Mars missions started to get momentum I never knew I would be a part of it. The red planet was a great platform to gain my freedom from my lost love. I was so confused about the situation that it bordered on obsession with my mentor he was my sponsor for the mission as you need to have one to vouch for your ability to get right all the aspects of the training. The human factor involved in the highly computerized setup was a glitch that set everything out of sink so the mentor system was created to help the astronaut focus on getting the job done. I did the unthinkable crime of falling in love with my mentor. So not cool,so not professional and to top it off embarrassing for me. How do I get away from this problem. Make sure I go to Mars and not have to face him again. Even if it means I never come back again.

When Empires Meet by pada_stories

The world is rapidly changing. On Earth, geopolitical tensions rise to a breaking point, with nations poised on the edge of catastrophic conflict. But far beyond the planet's atmosphere, a different war rages-one that spans the vastness of space. In the depths of the galaxy, two great powers collide in a brutal, unending war. Their fleets clash in distant systems and barren asteroid fields, fighting for dominance over resources and territory. This is a war of empires, driven by ambition and desperation, where survival comes at a cost few can bear. For now, Earth's struggles and the galactic conflict remain separate, their paths unknowingly intertwined. But the threads of fate are drawing tighter, and the actions of soldiers, leaders, and nations on both sides are on a collision course. When these two worlds meet, the consequences will reshape not just one, but the future of all. "When Empires Meet" is a sweeping tale of ambition, survival, and the interwoven destinies of two wars waged across vastly different scales. As the battles rage on, the choices made in the heat of conflict will echo far beyond the battlefield-binding two worlds together in ways no one could have imagined.

The Girl in the Tank: Galactic Consortium, Season 1 by RJEliason

Less than five months ago, lights appeared in the sky. Days later the ships started to arrive. They call themselves the Consortium. They are human, or at least Simian, descending from the same genetic line as humans. They terraformed this planet centuries ago, sent settlers a mere forty thousand years ago. Now they are back, ready to begin the exploration of this galaxy. For Cheyenne Walker, Chief Petty Officer aboard the Cambridge, a USS destroyer, the arrival of the Consortium is just one more obstacle to finishing her final tour of duty and getting home to her kids. The political upheaval forces the US into an uneasy alliance with the Consortium against China, and puts the Cambridge on the edge of a nuclear blast. Cheyenne wakes to find herself aboard the Corelean, a Consortium Medical Evacuation ship. Floating in a medi-tank, she wonders if they really can't repair the wreck of her body, whether these newcomers are friends or foes and most importantly, will she ever make it back to children?

Return to Earth by BobRyan874

This is a completed novel that has been proofed. Editing will begin in April, 2022. Shortly after the first ships were sent to colonize Mars all communication with Earth was lost. The other ships that were supposed to arrive never did. What had started as the first of many became the only ones. Domes were built to protect the people living there, since Mars could not be conquered as the early scientists had hoped. Rather than their dreams of taming a planet, they settled for living with a place never meant for humans. Kierst is one of the descendants of those early settlers and works on the interior of one the domes. His job gives him the solitude he prefers with both work and home. He has no family and no friends, which is one of the reasons he is chosen to learn the truth about what happened to Earth and why everyone on Mars must return. He is among a small group who are entrusted with the greatest secret of his government. If his group fails, there will be no future for those living on Mars. Their secret fate lies with those who must return to Earth.

Love In 2100 by Mads_Pads

In the new year 2100, quite literally anything is possible. Take a shuttle to Earth's half of the moon! Ride the hover train to work! Work at one of the top Space Entity Negotiations companies in the country! Although these things are true, Micah Love's current life as a Lunar Inc lab assistant is best categorized as discombobulated and complacent. After three years of hard work and no promotion in sight, a microaggressive boss, and a coworker who doesn't shut up, what can she do but dryly monologue? She doesn't hate her life, but there is a distinct lack of color and meh that paints every experience. Nothingness is preferred to adversity though. That is until one night, everything's ruined by a surprise at her doorstep. Jump in on the wild ride where Micah discovers the meaning of caring not just for others, but also for herself. However unconventional the ride is to get there! It's short, but fun just like hopping on the good ol' hover! These are all original characters by me, art is also by me! If you'd like to see more of them or just my art in general, it's: @mads_arte on Instagram! Enjoy! Updates every week!

The Space Spinster (Slow Updates) by DomiSotto

A dutiful, ace soldier from Mars faces a dilemma. She can accept an offer from an infuriating gen-eng man from Venus, grab her loyal cat + dig up her inner rebel and maybe become the first human to explore the Galaxy. OR she can keep flying security on the cruise space ships. Did I mention the man from Venus has an unbearable personality and nearly got her killed on Jupiter? Daaaamn! I got cocky and wrote a space opera, yes, with aliens and fast spaceships. Become a part of the audience so small, it's exclusive! First published: long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Now updates as a lite novel with AI art.
