"Humanity's late discovery of FTL travel secured its rightful place as the leaders of the galaxy. How the simple method of FTL was oversight for so long...I can only give it to God's plan for humanity."

FTL is looked upon as the epitome of technology. To break the boundaries of physics and go far beyond what was meant to be. A race which harnesses this power must surely have technology far beyond anything we can imagine...right...?

What if FTL was simple...so simple that a mere child could accidentally put it together in any point in time? How would things change? What if the galaxy had more intelligent creatures than humans.

This is the story of humanity discovering FTL...in the year of 2070 after a rather unexpected first contact.All Rights Reserved

Colony Wars 5: Tales of the Galaxy by 0____T____0

Imagine that the universe is not just a mass of swirling gases, blazing stars and giant spheres of rock. Instead, look at each Galaxy as a massive living entity, with its own consciousness, its own perception of time and its own goals. Each Galaxy has about one hundred billion stars contained within it, and of those stars, around a hundred thousand of them would have planets that could support life. Only a few hundred of those worlds will have life forms that develop higher intellect. These intelligent life forms are the Galaxies children. The Galaxy wants to be able to choose its favourite offspring and give it pride of place above all its other children. It wants to give it lordship and dominion across the Cosmos. These are the stories of one such Galaxy and how the races that came to exist in it were created, how they grew and moved on from their native home worlds, how they discovered the other races of the Galaxy, how they interact with each other and how eventually one race wins the Colony Wars.

A Starship Called Starsong by CrystalScherer

Computer updates are simple, right? That's not always the case when it involves a Spaceship's AI in the middle of deep space. We have always relied upon technology to travel through space, but sometimes that very same technology develops a mind of its own... *** Rachel, a junior assistant in the cargo bay, wasn't prepared for the spaceship's AI to gain awareness during what should have been a routine update, nor had anyone expected it to take exception to the crew and the crates of illegal cargo aboard. Rachel races against time to try and get life-saving systems back online while stranded in the middle of deep space. Unfortunately for her, the AI can access every system, door, and airlock. As truths emerge, the AI realizes that even computers can make miscalculations, and it focuses on the young woman who had dared to confront it. Rachel is left floundering when the AI decides that she would make an excellent captain, albeit one in need of training. As she struggles to learn her new duties and dodge shady government groups, she must ultimately discover what it truly means to be a Starship Captain. ------- There is no romance in this story.

Even Stars Go Cold by TheFuriousAngel

Back cover In the late twenty-second century Humans have reached the stars, and they are not the first. Ancient technology has literally propelled them into the galaxy, and they find themselves far from alone. Three civilisations, more advanced by millennia, rule vast areas of space by cooperating with each other as the all-powerful Citadel. There are many other, less powerful species; Humanity is forced to join their ranks, low in the pecking order. As they explore and colonise new worlds, the Systems Alliance of Humans encounter the Batarians. Skirmishes ensue, avoiding an all-out war that might draw the attention of the Citadel. On a frontier colony, tragedy strikes time and again. Growing up knowing little else, eager to avenge a mother's death at the hands of Batarians, a youngster's journey begins to "be all they can be". But that may be something other than Human - and the shadow that falls across all of the Systems Alliance may be from within as well as without. This is the story of Sam Tarot, becoming an agent of the Systems Alliance Special Operations - on a mission to defend Humanity against all enemies. --*-- Want to know more? Please comment so I know you're out there. New chapters will be coming regularly (aiming for one a month). I apologise to anyone looking for a story about Shepard or any other "canon" characters from Mass Effect, you won't find that in here. --*-- This novel is now complete, but I do intend to bring more volumes. If you're interested, feel free to comment. Hope you enjoy it.

Monotone | ✔️ by asphyxiaxx

"If we were so riveted in the spectrum of nature, why did we stand, petrified, as we became corrupted by idle technology, stupefied by glowing screens, stolen from life as we know it from enemies right under our noses? Why did we relent to this obvious threat when we did have the capability to change, and prevent our peaceful hierarchy from being razed? It was the consequence of this stupidity that condemned us all to slaves, servants of a towering race of robots and data." The year 2096. Robots rule the world. Their grip seemed impenetrable, the extent of their control unknown by the humans. Society is blinded by the splendour and wealth of all the technology. "We live in mere fear, unable to access any computerised knowledge for fear of being discovered. We're convicted to the old ways of living, our specialists abilities unable to be used. It puts a very ironic twist on the definition of being free." COMPLETED --

Earthrise: 2176 [Published - Sample Only] by WillFlyForFood

What if we were the first in our part of the galaxy to discover the secret of faster than light travel? What if this discovery was 10,000 years before it was supposed to be? Our neighbors had been watching for centuries and were surprised with our early arrival into the Web of Worlds... The Year is 2166: To the people of Earth, the universe seemed to be a very lonely place. Astronomers have discovered tens of thousands of planets; many had indications of organic life. SETI had been searching for signals for over 200 years. There had been a few tantalizing bits of radio or radar energy received but nothing ever proven to be of intelligent origin. But there was an alien civilization out there, in fact many of them linked together in a Web of Worlds. They were watching us quietly, carefully and patiently. It had long been the prime directive of the Web that no developing civilization be contacted until that civilization made it into interstellar space on their own; and that always took time, lots of time. Most Web worlds took 1,000 years or more to go from steam to the atom and none had made it from the atom to a sublight stardrive in less than 5,000 standard years. Every civilization of The Web had proven that faster than light travel was impossible, so there was plenty of time to watch the Earth... The watchers were astounded with the speed of progress of human science and also horrified at the periods of violence. By 2076 nuclear fusion power was widespread on earth. By 2100 the first interplanetary fusion ships explored the Sol system. The men and women of the Anglosphere Alliance began their first missions in ships approaching 0.1c. At that velocity, manned flight to even the nearest stars would take a lifetime. What would happen if a beautiful engineer and a brilliant physicist stumbled upon an artificial gravity field which would make a faster than light drive possible...

Kahari : The Scarab Reign (PART ONE) by DeanKutzler

Power across the known universe vanished. Billions of galaxies left in the dark, crippling worlds-forcing people to fight for survival. No one knew why or how. Then the answer came: The Scarab. A mysterious alien race with technology and power unseen ended the way of life for countless beings. Now they've come and taken over the federation (UFWA) to instill a new supremacy over the universe, selling power to worlds that can afford it. The price? Slavery. A quota of humans must be met if the lights are to stay on. The Scarab need workers to mine gold. Why? No one had the courage to ask or go up against the Scarab-until Saren Thorn, Commander of the warship Avenger, made a stand. She had a plan, and it was simple. They took it all away-she'll take it all back.
