Mass Effect: Imperialis  by WilliamKillian
11 parts Ongoing Mature
(AN: I plan to conquer the Milky Way galaxy.) In the aftermath of the Great Galactic War, the Sith withdrew into the uncharted depths of the unknown regions, their empire splintered and fractured by infighting. Amidst the chaos, a force-wielding noble of House Thule, Adrian Thule, rose as an unlikely savior of order. With charisma, tactical brilliance, and a vision of unity, Adrian rallied those disillusioned by Sith tyranny. Over two decades of brutal civil war, his armies crushed the Sith remnants, forging a new empire from the ashes of discord. This new empire chose secrecy, its leaders deeming the greater galaxy unworthy of their renewed strength. They withdrew into the vast void, colonizing and conquering the unknown regions of their home galaxy. Unshackled by external interference, they built a civilization both advanced and unyielding, guided by Thule's principles of discipline, power, and order. The galaxy they left behind forgot them, but they did not forget the galaxy. Two and a half millennia have passed since Adrian Thule's ascension, and the empire, its strength unmatched within its borders, has turned its gaze outward. The unknown regions are no longer a frontier-they are the empire's dominion. Driven by curiosity, ambition, and an innate sense of destiny, their explorers have begun probing the borders of other galaxies. The Milky Way is their first discovery. A galaxy teeming with life, its fractured alliances and diverse civilizations present both opportunities and threats. The empire, watching from the shadows, prepares to make its move. Will the Milky Way prove to be a theater for conquest, an ally against the unknown, or a stage for a cataclysmic clash of civilizations? The echoes of Adrian Thule's legacy resonate through time as the empire stands at the brink of a new chapter, poised to redefine the fate of two galaxies. The question is no longer whether the galaxy is ready for the empire-it is whether the empire is ready for the galaxy.

~PARAGON CINEMATIC UNIVERSE: PHASE 3, BOOK 6~ *This novel serves as the 6th novel of Phase 3 and a sequel to "Paragons: Rise of the Dark Scions".* "That is but a TASTE of our fury! In one week's time, the Cosmic Armada's beloved figurehead shall arrive within orbit of this pitiful planet. And then, you will either surrender this world to us.....or we shall wipe it from the face of the universe!" -Dark Inquisitor Lizala Three years after the Paragons' formation and the beginning of their watches over the United States of America-and the Earth as a whole-the beloved superhero team faces what could possibly be their greatest challenge yet. Dark Inquisitor Lizala, acting commander of the Cosmic Armada-a near-endless army of galactic conquerors who have decimated entire planets' worth of civilizations in their past-has struck, with an invasion so brutal that it threatens to bring about the end of humanity as we know it......and following her top lieutenant Shade's death after a pyrrhic success in their earlier invasion of the Elemental Realms, she is all the more determined to complete her goal in his name. Further complicating matters is the inevitable arrival of the Cosmic Armada's mysterious figurehead, who is currently making her way towards Earth after being summoned there by a special beacon of the Armada's making. The planet's only hope lies with the Paragons, who must join forces with the other allied heroes-and even some anti-heroes-around the globe in a high-stakes mission to find and safely destroy the summoning beacon, while evading Lizala and the Cosmic Armada's army all the while. And if they fail......the final hour could fall on all of mankind. • Cover designed by @Castiment

However, amidst the celebration of unity, a lingering threat persists: the Foxrins, a cunning race of humanoid foxes resistant to peace. As tensions escalate, Captain James Thorne, a seasoned explorer, stumbles upon an ancient relic with the potential to alter the course of history. Known as the Star-Providence, this enigmatic artifact holds secrets that surpass the imagination of even the most visionary minds.

Guided by the ancient wisdom contained within the Star-Providence, Captain Thorne must navigate political intrigues, interstellar conflicts, and the ever-present threat of the Foxrins to unlock the relic's true power. Alongside a diverse crew of allies, each with their own motives and backgrounds, Captain Thorne embarks on a perilous journey into the uncharted depths of space. As the quest unfolds, the boundaries of reality blur, revealing the interconnectedness of civilizations and the threads that bind them to the cosmos. The fate of the Milky Way hangs in the balance, and Captain James Thorne becomes the unlikely harbinger of a new era-one that transcends the limits of human understanding and propels the galaxy toward an unforeseen destiny.

❖2021 Watty Awards Shortlist❖ Kevin was just a normal 10 year old kid until he saw a woman vanish right before his eyes. This made Kevin just a little bit different. He paid more attention to people now. Little did he know that this little difference would kill him the next time he encountered another alien about to return home. It would tear him apart, cell by cell, until he was unmade. His mind being transported away. --- So distantly far away there is a race that advanced to the point where they built dyson spheres to house their civilizations. In their continual expansion, they seeded galaxies with pods and connection satellites. Over time they upgraded their dyson spheres into matryoshka brain Cores. Imagine a computer powered by a star. Citizens of Cores no longer age once they upload their minds into the virtual living system of the Core. While they didn't age, most still choose to cycle through life and death though at a different scale of time compared to our lives. Citizens can visit other planets and live there as if they were on a "vacation". Mercury is Earth's hub connected to the closest Core and Earth is a remote vacation spot for wealthy citizens. When the main character was 10 he witnessed a citizen returning to the Core. The story continues 10 odd years later when he again witnesses a similar situation unfolding and manages to touch the person returning to the Core. This causes him to be swept up in the transfer as well and for his mind to join as a "Guest" user of the Core. As a Guest he has limited powers, a starting balance of zero cr or Citizen credits, and no idea how he can get home. He is the first human to ever become a Guest of a Core. Where money itself is the highest form of their science.
