Having done so, the humans thrived within their new empire. Until the Koriddians attacked. They came from beyond The Reach. A ring of anomalies and space debris among other dangerous things that had barred in the Human Empire for centuries. Having been outnumbered and faced with superior technology, the humans have been pushed back and are making a last stand at the military fortress of Za'ar.
Captain Jace Andrew Mercer stared out of the view port of his vessel at the slaughter that was the Battle of Za,ar. They had fortified this world to the best of their abilities. It seemed to be of no use, they were too smart, there were too many of them. When one dies another one is there to take it's place. Suddenly, a shout broke his focus. "Sir! The shields are down 60%!" Jace sorted through his brain for the tactics drilled into his brain. Nothing, they were not prepared for this. "What about the backup shields?" The Officer shook his head " These are the backup

Murder Drones: Specters
In the year 3049, humanity faced a cataclysmic event known as the "Assimilation," a disaster brought about by the emergence of an entity referred to as the Absolute Solver. It is an extremely advanced, hostile, eldritch intelligence of unknown origin that seeks to consume all life. It also has the power to create singularities that destroy entire planets. The Absolute Solver manifested on Earth when a drone self-rebooted after its termination and improper disposal, possessing its body, and setting its plans in motion by converting all of the drone servants of humanity into disassembly drones who were programmed to hunt and prey upon humans in its goal of exterminating humanity. Meet Corporal J. Anders, though his teammates simply call him Jake. He is a Specter, an elite breed of super soldier designed for one purpose-fighting the unstoppable. Specters were engineered into three specialized divisions: Jaegers, masters of frontline combat; Neuro-Cybernetics, enhanced with cutting-edge cybernetic augmentations; and Recon, experts in stealth, infiltration, and intelligence gathering. Now, humanity has discovered a way to fight back against these relentless machines-a hastily developed but promising program designed to sever the connection between the Murder Drones and their master, the Solver. It's far from complete, an unfinished prototype with the potential to turn the tide of war. But time is running out. Our mission is clear: get the program back to our new bunker world, the last refuge of humanity, where it can be perfected and mass-produced. If we succeed, we might finally have a weapon strong enough to cripple the Murder Drones once and for all. If we fail... there may not be a second chance.

ARCHIVE-XC9: TERRA
For centuries, humanity believed itself to be alone in the universe. The stars were distant, silent, and indifferent until the silence was broken. When a deep-space exploration vessel, UFS Pioneer, was attacked by unknown hostiles when they arrived to Alpha Centauri B. Two decades later, another deep-space exploration vessel, but this time unmanned and armed, arrived at Alpha Centauri B and makes an unprecedented discovery, an unknown civilization with human DNA identical to their own, everything humanity thought they knew about their origins is shattered. As star-faring nations scramble to unravel the mystery, tensions rise, alliances fracture, and the race to uncover the truth begins. But in the depths of the cosmos, beyond the reach of human understanding, something stirs. Ancient ruins whisper of lost empires. Unseen forces bend the very fabric of reality. And lurking in the void, an enemy waits-an anomaly so vast, so consuming, that it threatens to unravel existence itself. As humanity ventures further into the unknown, one question echoes through the corridors of power, the minds of scientists, and the whispers of those who dare to seek the truth: "If we are not alone... then what exactly are we?"
GATE X NHS : Thus the Galactic Imperium Enforce Peace
In the vast expanse of the cosmos, the Galactic Imperium stands as the bastion of order and civilization, its legacy stretching across a millennium. For a thousand years, it has defended the known galaxy against the relentless onslaught of alien invaders and cosmic terrors, holding steadfast against the chaos that threatens to engulf the cosmos. But in the year 3981, a monumental event unfolds at the heart of Neo Constantinople in the Deneb Prime system of the Deneb Sector. A mysterious structure materializes, defying the laws of space and time, its origins shrouded in enigma. This anomaly, dubbed the "GATE," heralds not just a new chapter in the Imperium's history, but an unprecedented era of expansion and discovery. With the emergence of the GATE, the Galactic Imperium finds itself presented with unparalleled opportunities and challenges. Beyond its borders lies an uncharted galaxy ripe for exploration and conquest, teeming with ancient secrets and untold dangers. As the Imperium ventures forth into this uncharted realm, it must navigate treacherous waters, facing foes both familiar and alien, while unlocking the mysteries of the GATE and harnessing its unfathomable power. Thus, amidst the stars, a new saga begins for the Galactic Imperium-one that will test its resolve, shape its destiny, and redefine the very fabric of the cosmos. (AN: Each chapters would be very long. So I suggest you read this while relaxing. Maybe with snacks or drinks, if you will. Or tucked in comfortably in your bed. Whatever you prefer.)
Separated By a Wall
August 14, 3044. It was a future where humans didn't have to advance because technology did all the work for them. A future where children couldn't visit their parents after a certain age and you barely know the route through your own house because your teleporting from the bedroom to the kitchen. A world where you're practically mind controlled. It wasn't always like this. Humans used to have diversity and freedom to think for themselves. But on August 14th, 3044 a new species called the Anoch landed on our planet. The humans immediately categorized them as a threat and split the world into two halves by a stone wall. Humans on one side, Anoch on the other. Everyone seems to have adjusted to this change and go on with life as if everything was normal. But not me. I was only six when it happened. It's now the year 3054 and I still find it all strange. The new life the humans have been forced to live. The way the Anoch are treated as if they're some sort of experiment. And it seems like I'm the only one who cares enough to find the truth. I'm the one who snuck out. And you wouldn't believe what I found behind the wall.Complete
