Forty-eight years ago, the ship had departed Earth on a two hundred year voyage to 82 Eridani. "Our eyes will never gaze upon the new world," the original crew had told their children, "but we will be the giants upon whose shoulders those who see it, will stand."

Born onto a ship they never boarded, raised in a prison they can never escape, and destined to bequeath that fate to their own children, "the talk" becomes a touchstone moment of both childhood, and of fatherhood.All Rights Reserved

But luckily, Astro-scientists have discovered an Earth-like planet that can sustain our people. We began an expedition. * * * Our eyes, Foro and his sister Lorra, who is one of these researchers, are the lucky few to venture through the cosmos and land on this mysterious planet.

Sidereal by clary__frost

{COMPLETED} Samantha hasn't touched Earth in 16 years. She has always dreamt of finding her biological family on Earth and meeting them for the first time again. But she can't. Samantha can't dream anymore, she is apart of the cause to save the human race. The year is B35 and the Earth is becoming overpopulated every day. The governments have combined forces to try to find a solution before Earth is too crowded. They have tried sending spaceships into space and leave some of the population up there, but the space crafts required to have humans live there forever is not possible. They have tried making underwater pockets so people can live under the sea, but the underwater pockets are too fragile to maintain and easily every citizen can drown. Hope was almost given up. Until scientists found a planet only couple light years away that is a sister planet to Earth. No one has ever been on this planet before and is unsure what will people find there. So on the year B18, all children born within that year were taken from their families and sent into a spaceship to be trained and prepared for the landing of this new planet. Samantha and her squad are flying through space and preparing themselves both mentally and physically for the adventures of this new planet. No one knows what is going to happen when the spaceship lands on this foreign land.

The Man That Lived by thepicklegod

"Gaze upon the stars my son. Some see within them death, fear, hope, a future, and many more things. But what you see is the most important. Because YOU will be the one to make a difference son, I just know it." Little did my father know, that I would be instrumental in humanity's survival. **** I plan to do some editing later on. So if you could bear through any cringe with spelling and Grammer errors that would be great! ****

INVASION: Wildest Game by VEIILLL07

20 years ago, the world was on the brink of extinction when the Galactic Federation saved Earth. Since then, humans pledged their loyalty to serve them. Human's connection with one of the higher beings in the universe, resulted in Earth's civilization rising to a higher level. Two decades passed and new generations rose. I, Alexa Stanfield, a 20-year-old college student, found out that the Galactic Federation saved Earth for a dark purpose. For two decades, we've been conscripted and nurtured under the guise of care, only to unveil our grim fate as pawns in an Intergalactic conflict, thrust into a war we never signed up for. The previous species that Galactic Federation sent were annihilated quickly. Therefore, they were forced to use us, as their new human army, opposing the plan's timing. My friends and I were selected as candidates with the resilience to withstand mind manipulation. We endured an intense training regimen that was more like a deadly game of survival. The Federation believed that this was the only way to prepare us for the war since they have no time to waste on conventional methods. My friends and I share an unbreakable bond and loyalty, soon to be challenged by the most harrowing trials. Armed with only our school learning and raw life experiences, we'll face murder, death, sacrifices, and betrayal. A kid, old, man, or woman, there's no exception, regardless of age or gender. Our training ground? Safira, a verdant moon planet. This is the story of our involvement in the most intense training of our lives.

Red Eden: Homeworld Bound by ME2007Vigil

In the year 2085, Enoch Truss, Father of Mars, led our ancestors to the red planet in pursuit of liberty. One hundred years after the Exodus, Martian satellites detected multiple nuclear detonations across the homeworld. For the first time since dawn of the twentieth century, Earth fell into total radio silence. But on Mars, our ancestors endured. They thrived. Today, two hundred years after the Exodus, our population is eleven million strong and growing. We stand ready to retake our homeworld. In preparation for our journey across deep space, we have sent drones to monitor Earth. To our surprise, we have discovered that human society has re-emerged from the ashes of nuclear war. These societies are in the earliest stages of development. It is as if time has been set back five thousand years. My name is Jack Hanlon, and I'll be joining the First Expedition. Our mission: to rebuild human civilization and lead humanity to the stars.

Dimensions by PhoenixPresentbooks

Humans always believed that there was nothing before the Big Bang. They were wrong. Before, there were two races living in harmony. The humans, and the red skinned, humanoid aliens that were the Deviann. But then they disappeared. A massive explosion, a blinding light. They were separated into two separate dimensions. And each forgot the other existed. Until now.
