Three-hundred years after the Calan race leave Humanity to fend for itself, the Universe is in turmoil. Corruption breaks economies, assassins dethrone monarchs and wars threaten the unprotected. Meanwhile a mysterious, celestial object materialises in space at the same time as thousands of individuals disappear without trace. The Human colonies are struggling to maintain order along the planetary system borders, as the Universe can feel a storm brewing.

Professor Kalet Steale of the Leonis Chapter grapples with his Calan faith, as disaster strikes his esteemed Astronomy Institution. Carlos di Gunga of the Aquarius Chapter interrogates a criminal supposedly responsible for the downfall of an entire civilisation. And Liúlàng Zhě of the Draconis Chapter seeks to defend a technologically deficient nation from the threat of invasion.

Meanwhile, Llywydd Cyson Tywysydd, leader of the immortal Calan race, attempts to reform the bond that once existed between the Calanau and Humanity. However, the discovery of a weapon designed to destroy Calan undermines trust, leading them to regret the decision they made three centuries ago.

A Gathering of all Humanity's chapters might be their only hope, as deceit on all sides clouds sensibilities.  But the question remains: do the Calan wish to be bystanders to chaos, or interfere in the political minefield of Humanity once more...?All Rights Reserved

Gods of Garran by Meredithskye

--Only an ancient power can fight an alien race.-- Once the Borrai, the Gods of Garran, walked among the people, taming the wind and the fiery mountains. Then invaders came from the sky and killed the gods--destroying all who opposed them. A hundred years have passed since the Invaders came from the sky--an advanced alien race known as the Chanden. Now, having suffered many grievances at the hand of the aliens, the tribesmen rise up to find the god-stones and revive the ancient powers of the Borrai--and reclaim their world. As a son of the clan chieftain, Morrhan can't do anything right. His father disapproves of everything he does. When his father decides to seek revenge on the technologically advanced Chanden, once again Moorhen finds himself in opposition to his father. The fate of his tribe hangs in the balance. Should Moorhen follow his conscience-or his father? Meanwhile, when the Chanden learn of the search for the god-stones, they send a spy to infiltrate the Garrans--a young woman named Asta, who has her own reasons for hating the Garrans. She begins to realize that they are dealing with a real power and not a superstition when they get close to finding the god-stones. Could the Chanden be in the wrong? ________ This novel is complete here on Wattpad.

World Beyond: Charting the Infinite [ Startrek x scifi & fantasy ] by earthfatking

For centuries, humanity battled its own demons-war, destruction, the ever-present shadow of extinction. But against all odds, it endured. Nations united, wounds healed, and a single banner rose above the entire Earth: United Earth Government and later the United Federation of Planets. By the year 2288, humanity had transformed from a fractured species into a galactic civilization. The Federation stretched across the stars, its influence reaching every corner of the Milky Way. It was an era of peace, progress, and unmatched technological triumph. And yet... they were alone. No matter how far their ships traveled or how many worlds they surveyed, there was no sign of other intelligent life. The universe vast, ancient, and beautiful remained eerily silent. Theories once whispered in academic circles, the "Great Filter," the "Rare Earth" now loomed large and terrifying. Was intelligence a cosmic accident? Was humanity the only one to make it this far? Then, everything changed. On the eve of humanity's historic voyage to Andromeda (M31). As their science vessel prepared for its journey across 2.6 million light years, something unprecedented occurred. In a flash, space itself seemed to twist and fold, as the Milky Way merged with another galaxy in instant, one far larger and older than their own. Now, in this strange, limitless frontier, humanity's greatest adventure was only just beginning. Would they adapt and survive, or uncover something beyond their wildest understanding? Only time would reveal the truth... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Heavily influenced by Nihonkoku Shoukan by Minorou, Anime GATE and various nation summoned novels here in wattpad.
