In a galaxy millions of light-years away from Earth, humans, droids and other lifeforms co-exist. After the Great War, which lasted for over 4,500 years, 3 star systems agreed on a treaty, forming the Crescentian Republic and ending the war. The three leaders of the respective star systems decided that the centre of political power would be located on the planet of Dieusia. The population centre of Dieusia, Worf City, became the Federal District and housed the Senate Building and the different government districts.

 One thousand five hundred years later, the Crescentian Republic controlled several of the galaxy's trade routes and the respective 3 star systems prospered. Peace was established within the Republic and the newly-elected Supreme Chancellor Claudine Ghen, a human, introduced the Expansion Plan, which aimed to assimilate other star systems into the Crescentian Republic. This resulted in a massive uproar in the different star systems that were outside of the Republic's control. Leaders of those systems refused to give up their power, leaving Chancellor Ghen with no other choice but to use force.

 The first system that the Republic targeted was the Herranium System, governed by Duke Henry Revern IV. Hundreds of battlecruisers, carrying countless small fighters and troop transporters, made their way to Herranium. The first planet, Veres, was subdued quickly. From there, the Republic forces established a base, and within three years, the entire Herranium System was colonised by the Republic and Duke Henry IV was brought to Dieusia and was executed in front of a huge crowd.
 Now, it seems that the peace within the Republic may be compromised and a potential war may break out in the near future. The colonisation of Herranium only made the Chancellor bolder. Even some of the senators in the Crescentian Senate have secret plans. The darkness within will soon reveal itself, and no one knows when.

"What do you know about the Jedi...?" "I know a lot about them, but more importantly, I can teach you to use your gifts properly. I can show you the way your abilities are meant to be used!" "How?"

"Ask your Chiss friends about the World of Lehon" What started as a simple rescue mission has turned into a mission of survival for Sabine Wren and Ahsoka Tano!

Ezra however, has his own problems. Haunted by a vision received over a year earlier, he is desperate to solve the mystery before times runs out. As he does so, Ezra quickly realises that the following the Jedi way may not be the key he needs to win the war against the Grysk, but the person he has been hearing in his head might be.

The chemical used in the war completely altered her genetic makeup. She stopped growing upon becoming infected and the effects were permanent.

He wore black armor with gold trimming that was protective against attacks of any kind, but was very light making it easy for him to move around. Armored boots adorned with climbing spikes and gloves that exposed his razor-sharp claws. The most distinctive feature of all was the golden skill mask he wore that shown is crystalline blue hues. Giving the illusion that his irises were made of the bluest ice. //WARNING Will contain smut and such// !!!SHORT STORY!!!! Old from computer.
Godlsayers - Pilot (Episode 1) by DavidGoller

Godslayers is about correcting a mistake. A mistake made by three kid geniuses who inherited a Corporate Technology Empire. They attempt to utilize Dark Tech to change the world with a new generation of technologies. Most important of all this new tech was a clean, efficient and totally renewable source of energy given freely to the world, an attempt to usher Earth into a golden age. They never asked their selves if the world was ready. Battle after battle that claimed nations, oceans and a third of the world's population within one year. By the second year, only three factions remained, political amalgams of financial, military and technological interests. High casualty and destructive rates refined combat, and Dark Tech's emerging technologies- unbridled by energy restrictions- were corrupted into a new version of warfare. The BADB Frames took over the battlefield. Exoskeletal marvels- walking tanks. These suits made the soldiers of the future nearly invincible, while giving them destructive abilities of such raw power and precision that conflict was forever altered. The pilots of these suits were almost all pulled from a previously untapped civilian resource: gamers. Suddenly, age was not a restriction. What's left of Dark Tech exists in three Neutral Zones spread throughout the globe. Three "war free" zones that house civilians who wish to remain outside the war. But a shadow beneath what's left of the world's political system upsets this balance and a secret group known only as The Keepers push the factions past their fear of Dark Tech and into the zones of neutrality. Dark Tech unleashes a new faction on the world- a fighting force that has taken high technology and martial skill to a new level. A group of warrior monk gamers that once again change the face of battle and square off against the faction's armies single-handedly.

"There is so much you're missing, you could end all this right now" "Yet you know I won't, so why are we speaking?" "Because I want you to rethink your loyalties, after all, you were brought here on a lie..." "Not likely!" Csilla, Homeworld of the Chiss, has been invaded by a ruthless Grysk army, wanting nothing more than the complete destruction of the honourable race. Trapped on the hostile and frozen words of Csilla with no escape and nowhere near the army they need to hold back the ruthless invaders, Ezra and Sabine must struggle to hold back the invading army long enough for civilian escapees to evacuate the planet. However, as Ezra struggles to lead the fight with his resistance forces, he must try and solve the mystery of a vision he received during a recent battle before the Grysk army can overtake the Chiss capital, fearing that more than just his life depends on it. As he struggles to defend the Chiss, Ezra realises that there is more than an army headed for him and Sabine, but a dangerous new enemy, who has been longing for the chance to kill him, for he took something dear from this unknown adversary, and he wants revenge... Meanwhile, in orbit and unaware of just how desperate her friends are in their battle against the Grysk and the cold, Ahsoka Tano must work with Thrawn, and Ezra's Rakata mentor: Soa, to try and provide much needed support to their allies trapped on the ground.

As the former Jedi tries to save her friends, she soon learns the key to saving her friends and the people of Csilla isn't on the ground, but above, and the Grysk warfleet will do anything to take Thrana before she can save them!

An ordinary young man living an ordinary life finds his society crumbling apart at the seams due to an ever-intensifying plague of insurrection that seems to spread faster than it can be quelled. After joining the Marines to make a difference, to bring stability to his society, he soon realizes that he's no more than a minuscule cog in a very large machine. Harvest.
