What remains of history, or the small percentage of people that have managed to write down and keep track of it since the world went to hell is dicey. It's split down the middle as well. Some texts talk of what remains of the government (known now as "The Organization") and how they declared martial law to keep the people of what was once the grand United States of America safe. And others praise the leader of The Rebel Alliance, Clara Andres, for doing what's right and trying to overthrow the tyrannical government that trapped us in the memory of the once-great nation. Whether you believe The Organization or The Rebellion is your choice, but if you find yourself on the wrong side of either of them you're good as dead. But when it's either them or death... you're left asking yourself the age-old question "What's more important to me? My freedom or my safety?"

The Way It Is
I am not from this planet. Hell, I am technically not from this galaxy. However, that doesn't change the fact I am here now, and my job is to save what I can on this forsaken planet and what's left of its inhabitants. The problem is that not everyone wants to be saved. I know what you're thinking. You can't save those who don't want to be saved. I bloody well agree. The ones who sent me don't care what you or I think, though. All they care about is numbers. They need a certain success rate to continue to get funding for their "expeditions" and "peacekeeping" efforts. I use both terms loosely here. However, that's what they put on their records, and it's what sounds good and looks suitable to their investors. So this is the way it's going to be. So be it! Oh, did I forget to mention the Universe decided I was the lucky girl to help find the one person who could save us all from self-destruction? Yea, that is a shitty idea, but once again, no one cares what I think.Complete

My father, the commander of the elite group chosen to live amongst the stars, brought me along for the journey. And everything was going smoothly until I unexpectedly woke up on a new planet, one with an ethereal glow and an eerie resemblance to our old home as the commander of the military space force, my father tasked his men with exploring this new world. But what they discovered was far from welcoming. This new planet was already inhabited by terrifying creatures, and they were not happy with our presence. His men fought to survive against these beasts, I couldn't help but wonder why they were so hostile towards us. That's when one of them approached me, defying everything we had been warned about. Instead of attacking, it watched me pick flowers before later saving me from a fiery blast. Now it's my turn to save him. Please read the prologue in the beginning before going to Chapter 1.

Mod Maker's Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
Star Wars is owned by LucasFilm & Disney. I do not particularity like the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy so I will make my own remake base on the ideas from the actual films and fan theories. I will keep the same titles, characters, factions as the actual films. I will tie it in to the past six episodes. There are two years in between each episode in my Sequel Trilogy. Making Episode IX exactly seventy years after Episode I. It will tie the 2 previous trilogies and the only 2 good cartoons (The Clone Wars 2008 & Rebels 2014) together into one story. This is a more satisfying end to the Skywalker Saga. MM's Episode VII: The Force Awakens 30 years after the battle of Endor. Luke vanishes but starts a race to find him for winning Jedi training from him. While his nephew, Kylo Ren/Ben Solo starts the First Order from the ashes of the Galactic Empire to destroy the New Republic which formed from the Rebellion. MM's Episode VIII: The Last Jedi 2 years after Rey started Jedi training from the last true Jedi Luke. Rey is starting to get frustrated that Kylo said that she is "significant" and Luke confirmed this but does not tell her because she is not ready so she starts to think that joining Kylo Ren might be a better bath. MM's Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker Mortis. Enough Said.Complete

The Last Ship (18+)
Highest Rank: #1 Alien 6-21-21 WARNING: This contains Xenophile (Alien / Human smut) If you don't find interest then that, this is not the place to be. Thanks! Or Skip the chapter. 18+ ______________________ The year is 3999. Nearly a thousand years after a alien infection was set loose by the intelligent lifeforms know as Irinaut. No one knows exactly how they were able to make such a infection, but it was capable of destroying nearly all life on Earth. Those who couldn't hide or make it to the ships to escape their home planet, were left for the Irinauts. These alien lifeforms were capable of controlling human bodies, infecting them with their black dust, impregnating fertile human female's, and growing the Irinaut's massive companions, the Yeti's, a less evolved version of the Irinaut. Earth is gone. Nothing more then a ball of dust. After the people fled on ships, they traveled to their new hope. It was a place of solitude. The human race was able to flee from the foreign infection, but for how long? Luna was frozen on the ship. For nearly a 200 years, their ship had traveled. Many people had been placed in a cryogenic state. That of which kept them from aging as they made their way out of the infection. For them, a place of safety, The Solar Sun. The Solar Sun space ship was the closest landing unit in the solar system. Many others would have to be traveled to after refueling and preparing for another two or three centuries of being in a cryogenic state. For Luna, the girl hopes that space would be her escape from the aliens that destroyed their Earth, but that was only the beginning. Upon arrival, the ship is found infested. Luna and a small team of scientists had come in hopes for finding a cure for the strange virus, only to find the virus had taken over most of The Solar Sun, following a few escaped Irinauts. The Solar Sun is their last hope, and their last escape from these beings, but what's to be found there will change everything.Complete
