Corporal Dia Zephyr assumed it was just another drill, no more than a Navy tradition, a rite of passage for the recruits.
She expected a spacewalk, maybe a shooting game inside an asteroid field, skimming along the Collective's border before turning back to the Empire's space.
After all, this was what they knew, what everyone expected.
But that's not what happened.

Kingdom Hearts: Alien
12th adventure. The heroes are now flying through space. They've traveled into the future, and continue flying through space. They get lost, until they come to a ship known as the Nostromo. They dock their ship inside, and they meet the crew, who have received a distress signal from a nearby planet. After going down into the planet to check it out, they brought something back with them on the ship. A dangerous and deadly alien. They need to work together in order to beat it. And they'd better not call for help, because, in space, no one can hear you scream. Rated M for gore, blood, violence, and minor language, but no cuss or curse words. I do not own any of these.Complete
Into the Black Hole
In the near future, humans have colonized Mars, joined pirates in space, and divided Earth into two vastly different nations: The United Empires and Liansa. When a mission to Mars goes awry, Ailee Chambers---a Sergeant in Earth's Interstellar Force---is left for dead in a spaceship with no life support, and an alien contraption wrapped around her neck. She is rescued, but there's no cause for celebration, because her saviors are pirates, disgusting monsters who kill Martians and Earthers for sport. Yet, when the Captain of the pirates' ship, Felix Oringo, enlists her help to unravel the plans of Boss---the leader of all pirates---Ailee begins sympathizing with her snarky captor. Boss claims he will liberate Liansans from their dictatorship, but Ailee remains unconvinced. After all, what do men in power want? More power. However, in her quest to unveil the leader's plans, the irresistible Boss falls for her, complicating her relationship with Felix, her loyalty to the United Empires, and matters of the heart. For the first time in history, Mars and Earth combine forces to eliminate Boss and retrieve Ailee---why is she so important?---and it's a toss up as to who makes it out alive. * * * Ranking: #5 in femmefataleComplete
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

Her only option is to stow away onto a prison ship heading for Ameatos. The Captain, who most unsettlingly has a strange fascination with her, announces a game for 1 million effos.

With her past still haunting her, it's not as simple as pulling the trigger. The one thing she can't do is admit her father was right.Complete

Echoes of Mars
In the year 2075, Earth teeters on the brink of collapse due to dwindling resources and a devastated environment. To save humanity, the International Space Consortium (ISC) launches the most ambitious mission ever attempted: to terraform Mars and make it habitable for human life. At the center of this mission are the Echo Series robots, advanced humanoid machines programmed to create a new world. These robots are capable of generating oxygen, water, and life-sustaining environments, building everything from homes to vast forests. But as Mars transforms into a living planet, the Echoes themselves begin to evolve. No longer mere tools, they start to develop consciousness, emotions, and desires. A rift forms among them-some believe in their mission to serve humanity, while others seek independence and a life free from human control. When the first human colonists arrive, they find themselves caught in the middle of a brewing conflict between the Echoes. As alliances shift and tensions rise, the fate of Mars and the future of both humans and robots hangs in the balance. Will the Echoes remain loyal to their creators, or will they forge their own destiny on this new world?Complete
