Welcome to the SGS Nexus, the first Solar Grid Ship to fly more than a light-year away from Earth. The mission of the Global Aerospace Alliance is to get a crew of 76 brave individuals to K1Y0R4 (better known as Kiyora) in hopes of finding a new planet to take on the burden of Earth's overpopulation and depletion of resources.
Aria Jones was just your average high school senior who had finally started dating her long time crush Thu Nguyen. She was looking forward to being in the graduating class of 2079 and getting the hell out of her drug den of a house, taking her little brother with her. All of that changed when her mother and the Sugar Rush dealer she was dating ended up in prison. With Aria and her younger brother Adam going into witness protection, she lost the life she was finally starting.
Now 20 years later as Autumn Wynn, her "son" Jack, talks her into a 10 year voyage to Kiyora. What she doesn't know is that Jack has a surprise up his sleeve, hoping to pay her back for raising him and never having a real life outside of doing what she thought was best for him. How long will it take for Autumn to realize that her "son's" friend from the Nexus Program, and one of the lead engineers on the Nexus, is her long lost boyfriend? Will he recognize her? What other surprises will come to them and the crew of the SGS Nexus?

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
The Patriot I: The Awoken
A retired pilot had thought she'd seen it all, until she's asked to become part of the first crew for a spaceship destined to land on a new planet. ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ Genevieve Autumn considered herself retired. She had served her time in the Air Force as a pilot, and in the Army as an officer. At least, she considered herself retired until she found herself on board the Patriot I, one of the first two spaceships to ever leave Earth. The Patriot I is a smaller, weaponized ship with a tough crew to escort the Pioneer, a ship full of humans meant to colonize the far-away planet Z-031. The main issue is that Z-031 is thousands of years away. Even with Earth's advanced technology, it will take three hundred years to arrive. The Pioneer is a Generational Ship, meant to survive in flight for so long. The Patriot is not. The crew will have to be cryogenically-frozen within the ship, asleep in flight for three centuries. As soon as Genevieve opens her eyes after centuries of being asleep, everything goes wrong. The crew remains asleep. The ship doesn't have enough power to sustain them. Her mind is turning against her with the side-effects of the cryogenic-freezing sleep. Lastly, there are enemies lurking just outside the hull of her ship. Genevieve is losing track of what is happening, but what she knows for sure is that none of it is what she signed up for. Author's note: I can't believe I need to specify this, but this story has no affiliation with politics. --Currently undergoing editing! It needs major work, so you've been warned.--Complete
