In the 2300s, space colonization hit its peak. Several neighbouring star systems were colonized. The government of the Earth Dominion governed the majority of all the planets in habited by humanity. However in 2420, war broke out between the Earth Dominion and the frontier planets—known as the Confederation of Sovereign Planets. The war—known as the Wars of Sovereignty—lasted five years. Both sides beat the other bloody but no one came out on top. Peace was finally settled, with the Confederation retaining rule over the frontier planets and the Dominion retaining its rule over the Sol system. The peace also included the destruction of each side’s nuclear arsenals and the establishment of a vital trade network that would prevent any further conflict.
In 2450, the Confederation began an exploration mission to the region just beyond their zone of control.
In 2456, there was a report of several nuclear explosions coming from the region of space being explored, followed by the return of a battered and damaged Confederation ship with only a skeleton crew left on board. The remaining crew subsequently disappeared into the billions of citizens of the Confederation and the Dominion amidst a Dominion demand of inquiry into the explosions.
Rumours spread of Dominion agents trying to track down the crew members of the Confederation ship.

The Last Ship (18+)
Highest Rank: #1 Alien 6-21-21 WARNING: This contains Xenophile (Alien / Human smut) If you don't find interest then that, this is not the place to be. Thanks! Or Skip the chapter. 18+ ______________________ The year is 3999. Nearly a thousand years after a alien infection was set loose by the intelligent lifeforms know as Irinaut. No one knows exactly how they were able to make such a infection, but it was capable of destroying nearly all life on Earth. Those who couldn't hide or make it to the ships to escape their home planet, were left for the Irinauts. These alien lifeforms were capable of controlling human bodies, infecting them with their black dust, impregnating fertile human female's, and growing the Irinaut's massive companions, the Yeti's, a less evolved version of the Irinaut. Earth is gone. Nothing more then a ball of dust. After the people fled on ships, they traveled to their new hope. It was a place of solitude. The human race was able to flee from the foreign infection, but for how long? Luna was frozen on the ship. For nearly a 200 years, their ship had traveled. Many people had been placed in a cryogenic state. That of which kept them from aging as they made their way out of the infection. For them, a place of safety, The Solar Sun. The Solar Sun space ship was the closest landing unit in the solar system. Many others would have to be traveled to after refueling and preparing for another two or three centuries of being in a cryogenic state. For Luna, the girl hopes that space would be her escape from the aliens that destroyed their Earth, but that was only the beginning. Upon arrival, the ship is found infested. Luna and a small team of scientists had come in hopes for finding a cure for the strange virus, only to find the virus had taken over most of The Solar Sun, following a few escaped Irinauts. The Solar Sun is their last hope, and their last escape from these beings, but what's to be found there will change everything.Complete

There are more threats out here than we anticipated, and they're all after you-" Lukas' voice erupted into static and chunks... I glared at the man in all black as the light continued to beam and blind me. Without my glasses it was actually painful. And then there was silence.

Echoes of an Empire
Once rulers of the Mid-Line spiral, the Vhos Empire was betrayed and broken. Earth and its sister worlds were turned to ash in the Solaris Purge, a coordinated genocide by alien coalitions and former allies. The galaxy believed the Vhos were extinct. But history does not forget. Nor does vengeance. Driven into the Tacfelt Veil, an isolated, storm-ridden region of space, the survivors did not fade. They transformed. On dead worlds like Typhus, under rusted skies and cities buried in ash, a new kind of humanity was forged. Comfort gave way to discipline. Peace to purpose. The fire of their lost legacy smoldered, waiting to ignite. Now, after many millennia of silence, the Vhos Empire stirs once more. Dreadnoughts rise from aging shipyards. Fleets rearm in the shadows. Across the stars, whispers echo: The Vhos will return. On Typhus, three lives converge, Vince, a cynical laborer; Maln, fierce and restless; and Rei, composed but haunted by secrets. When the Empire calls, they are pulled into a war that will test their loyalty, identity, and the very nature of what it means to be human. Above them, Grand Admiral Nōrn, an icy tactician shaped by the old ways, struggles to control Project HADES, a superweapon that could tip the balance of the galaxy. And at the Empire's heart stands Imperator Augustine Vhos II, the last Scion of Earth. Revered as a visionary, feared as a conqueror, his Unifying Wars have redrawn the stars in blood. To his people, he is legend. To his enemies, an unstoppable force. As the galaxy spirals toward war, alliances will fracture, and destiny will demand its due. This is not just a war for vengeance. It is survival, rebirth, And the return of an Empire that refuses to die.
First to Rise (Excerpt)
The aliens came here for one thing, and one thing only.... Females. ( This story is only available through inkitt or galatea!!!) (some read events may apply) (check update chapter for more details!) Humans believed they were the only intelligent life to exist... that it was impossible for another species to evolve in a way where they could prevail in something as great as space travel. humans believed they were supposed to be the most technologically advanced species and the alpha predators... They were wrong. The Xandisians evolved in ways humans never could have imagined, they are natural-born killers with phenomenal strength and agility. Their kind never went through the same devolution as humans, they never lost their natural instincts to hunt, kill, or breed. With their limitless potential and monstrous strength, they faced few threats and could survive almost any threat that befall their species, almost. After an incurable sickness washes over the planet of xanadis, the majority of the female, young and elderly, and vulnerable population is all but wiped out, leaving a small portion of the male population to face the threat of extinction. With no choice but to look to the stars for a means to save their kind from complete annihilation, the xandisians set out to find a race compatible with their own. after many years and countless failed expeditions, they finally find a species that matches their base DNA on a planet called Earth. The only issue now is how humans will react. (Book 2 LTF series) (CAN be read as a stand alone, but not recommended for nostalgia reasons~) (ps this is UNEDITED, grammar and spelling mistakes will ensue!)
