The T'au Empire is a proud and mighty federation of planets, a union of many races under the banner of a single purpose, a shared goal known as the Greater Good. They have expanded into the galaxy, seeking new worlds to convert to their superior philosophy of self-sacrifice and collectivism. So far they have had great success and little resistance, but they will not remain unopposed for long. A monster has slumbered in the darkness of the space beyond their star charts, a massive empire that dwarfs the T'au in size and power, the Imperium of Man. In their quest for expansion they have awoken the beast, and now it is upon them with a force large enough to crush their fledgling empire once and for all. Can the T'au survive the wrath of the Imperium, or will the Greater Good perish in the wake of their own destruction?

Commander Caius Atelinas is many things: angel, demon, soldier, saint, and above all, an Ultramarine. A distinguished veteran of uncounted battles, his squad is often sent on some of the most dangerous missions to defend the Imperium of Man from the enemies of Mankind no matter where they show their faces. When he is sent on a mission to retrieve a stranded Tech-Priest on an isolated world at the edge of Imperium Space, he finds himself confronted with something much more dangerous than a downed space craft. Soon confronted by agents of Chaos, an Orkish invasion, and a squad of Aeldari all seeking the Tech-Priest or the ruination of the planet, Caius and his squad find themselves at the forefront of a fight that will put their skills to the test and sets Caius on the collision course with an unexpected ally - Farseer Naudan Bahad of Craftworld Ulthwé, his long-time rival and one-time ally, who has come to the planet seeking out a familiar foe and a mystery that they both believe had faded into the shadows. --- STORIES IN THE SERIES: 0.

When Hope Burns Out, Heroes Ignite. Planet Blackium, a planet woven into the trade and commerce of Dark Matter, relies on the Obsidian Engine as its lifeline. Over generations, the Obsidian Engine has rewritten the DNA of Blackium's inhabitants, granting them the ability to manipulate gravity. Orion Voss, son of Blackium's general-in-chief, displayed exceptional skill in gravity manipulation from a young age. He was destined to succeed his father, but that duty fell on him unexpectedly when the Starborn Empire killed his father despite his surrender to their demands, and his mother succumbed to grief. On that day, Orion vowed never to bow to anyone, no matter the cost. Now, as general-in-chief, he is determined to protect his people and, above all, his younger brother, the only family he has left, whom he loves more than anything. His resolve faces its ultimate test as the Starborn Empire demands control of the Obsidian Engine.

Gate: Thus the Bundeswehr strikes against tyranny by FabMichGloe
33 parts Ongoing Mature
The world of Aurelia was once a small unimpressive world, double the size, width and mass of Terra, but keeping the same gravital pull of our blue planet. But, tyrannical eyes have set upon the small principality of Matador. Once a grand empire that was both respected and feared amongst its adversaries, stretching from one continental side to the other, conquering and subjugating tens of thousands of people and demi-humans, even the High Elfs, it fell due an unknown power appearing from nowhere, with many claiming them to the worst enemy they had ever faced, worse than the rumored Demons in the Unknown, foggy continent. This unknown force, called the infamous "Grey/Black men", clad in two Lightnings and death skull emblems, only made the life of many sub-humans worse, killing dozens per minute or even seconds. Only through the sheer tenacity and change of situation back home, forced the unknown superior military to conceded and retreat back, leaving tales of destruction and heresy back in this now peaceful world. One hundred years later, the newly emerged Superpower of Atlantia has begun expanding its influence in other continents, including the once isolated continent of Aurus, once ruled by Matador. Playing their cards right, they gained sympathisers and backstabbing people amongst the ranks of the elite and hierachy, further strengthening their hold in the new continent. Ravaged by greed they invaded the isolated Principality, seeking to dethrone the Princess and putting her Regent into power, turning the vast continent in one giant vassal, with its minions doing the dirty work. In a last desperate move the Princess attempts to destroy any evidence of the Gate, a connection to two worlds, the black men's home world, but alas, this failed. Consequently, greed had its price and the Gate fell into hands of the Alliance. How will the other side fare and will peace return in this tyrannic world?
THE FOUR SECTORS WARS - Sample Chapters by deancmoore
128 parts Complete
Six hundred years into mankind’s unexpected exodus from Earth’s solar system due to a prematurely exploding sun, humanoid species have spread far and wide to form a trans-galactic empire. This is in part due to the pioneering genius of Frakas and his bioengineering prowess which allows humanoids to accommodate to new planets readily. It is also secondary to special pod ships and spirit ships left behind by long dead civilizations that allow for teleportation across massive chasms of spacetime. But the empire is torn. War rages in four sectors. The wargods governing each sector want to unite the entire kingdom under one banner, theirs. But each of the sectors has unique challenges and pitfalls that stymie the other warlords, maintaining a stalemate seemingly without end. Enter Raikin and his entourage of followers. In his teens, he is the youngest of the hundred year men to intervene in celestial matters, and he may also have his hands the most full. Will he and his followers be enough to upset the stalemate and bring peace to the universe? Or will the intense fusion of cutting edge science and magic he introduces to the equation simply spread these battles beyond this universe into parallel universes, and the multiverse as a whole? More ominous still, there appears to be outside forces influencing matters in the four sectors beyond anyone’s knowledge or ability to grasp. Some of the tech bequeathed to them by long dead civilizations may have a life and a mind of its own, begging the question, are these distant parties relegated to history, or just to a dimension beyond their current reach?

47 parts Complete
[Sequel to 'Imperium'] Following the successful defense of Alamarri and the sudden withdrawal of Hepharion's Chaos Marines, Caius returned to Macragge in time to see the return of his Primarch and receive a new mission from his Captain: find Hepharion and bring him down, no matter the cost, and chase down and secure the remains of the ancient Titan project. At first, resources seem scarce with the Black Crusade taking much of the attention and firepower of the Ultramarines. However, help comes in an unexpected form when an Inquisitor's acolyte appears with an unexpected offer for the men of the Twentieth. Across the stars, Bahad is called before the Council of Farseers of his Craftworld and desperately pleads his case for his alliance with Caius and his hunt for Hepharion. However, this falls on deaf ears when the Craftworld, concerned about his continued association with the Imperium, orders him into a temporary arrest to await further judgment. While in isolation, plagued by his visions of what shall happen without his involvement, he, too, receives an unexpected visitor: a Harlequin Solitaire with a keen interest on seeing him reunited with his Ultramarine. As the two friends journey forth, their paths lead them to one another once again and to the planet of Cosperan, home to a Black Templar Crusade and the most recent spot where Hepharion's Warband was spotted. --- STORIES IN THE SERIES: 0.
