The year is 2418, and the Second Dominion War has been raging for thirteen years.  Fighting alone and plagued by incompetence and corruption, the Federation is slowly, but steadily, losing grounds to the Dominion.  When a highly decorated and respected war hero seizes power on Earth in a coup d'etat, promising an end to government corruption and a path to final victory, Admiral Oliver A. Lee, commander of the Kalandra Sector, who would have preferred the life of a historian and scholar to that of a Starfleet officer, finds himself faced with an impossible choice: save the Federation or save its ideals.  Meanwhile, amidst the chaos of war and civil strife, a young woman struggles to find herself, love, and the affection of a distant father.

Blood Impulse by SRCraven
173 parts Ongoing Mature
Humanity has an inherent tendency toward self-destruction. Drowning in hate and hedonism, the worlds of humanity have not seen a true peace since the end of the Hydrian War. It has been decades since humanity saw any true technological advancement. Ruled by a decaying republic, for most of humanity, absolute loyalty and real morality no longer exist. This is the declining state of the Ariean Solar Year 4249. Sickened by the state of the worlds, Charleston Reeter knows he and the rest of humanity were meant for something better. With the aid of a powerful AI harboring her own intentions, Reeter's New Era Movement will accept only perfection. People believe he will lead them to a future that is nothing less than heaven. Admiral Gives has seen hell. To him, it's any day he's forced to work with reporters or politicians. There is nothing worse for one of the most hated members of the human race. It is not his business if the worlds of humanity want to tear themselves apart, provided they leave his ship alone. But humanity came to hate him for a reason: given the chance to save the worlds, Admiral Gives refused. The rest of the human race never forgave him for it. It rendered him and his haunted battleship the embodiment of every evil Reeter has set out to exterminate. Welcome to the dark side of human nature. Welcome aboard the Battleship Singularity. ...... Guts, gore and cursing galore, Blood Impulse explores a galaxy where morality has disappeared. Inspired by Battlestar, Firefly and Star Trek, if you miss the glory days of TV space opera, this all-original work is for you. Step aboard if you dare, and don't forget to leave a vote!

Shattered Symmerty by Geminitea26
17 parts Ongoing
In Symmetria, a city obsessed with looking perfect while everything underneath is falling apart, the cracks are getting harder to ignore. The leaders? They're more focused on keeping their polished image intact than actually running the place. But chaos is brewing, and guess who's making a comeback? Ravi, the power-hungry dictator with a tighter grip on the city than ever. And trust me, things are about to get messy. Enter Sunaina, a sharp, determined force of nature, and her loyal (but definitely not boring) friends Jenna and Marcus. They're caught in the middle of all this chaos, trying to save Symmetria from Ravi's iron fist, while dealing with the fact that trust is about as rare as a flaw in this so-called perfect city. Betrayal? Oh, it's lurking in every corner, and hidden agendas? They're sprouting like weeds in a manicured garden. The trio needs to figure out who's on their side-and fast-because the clock is ticking. In this city, loyalty is more fickle than the weather, and ambition? Well, that'll lead you straight into disaster if you're not careful. With the cracks in Symmetria's perfect facade getting deeper by the day, the leaders will have to face not just Ravi but also the enemies within their own ranks. As everything unravels, one question remains: How far are they willing to go to protect their "perfect" city? And who can they actually trust when every choice could pull them deeper into chaos-or worse? Buckle up for a wild ride. Power, ambition, and loyalty are about to collide in ways no one saw coming. Because in Symmetria, nothing's as perfect as it seems, and every move could be their last.
