It has been at least one thousand years since the dehabitation of the planet Earth. A small team of scientists and populace launched several expeditions. One to Mars, another to Saturn - and it's many moons - and a last to Venus. All the years have past, and now, Mars is the capital of the Empire of humanity.The Empire has had a succession of great Emperors, expanding the territory all the way up, and including Saturn and anywhere within it's vast orbit. But three threats rose in this 'wars of pacification'. Earth has survived after a nuclear war that lasted a hundred or so years, and the men that littered it's vast, spoiled ground were changed, into great monsters and even greater fighters. Venus had also become independent. The storms of the planet were a perfect ground for a war like humanity, and years of fighting have changed the men in worse ways then the nuclear battered-earth. On the fringes of the galaxy, a nomadic tribe of war-mongering lizards and intelligent insects have broken into the star system, from seemingly nowhere. And swiftly claimed Neptune and Uranus as part of their domain. Jupiter is now a world of war and battle between the cohorts of Saturn and The alien swarms, fighting over it's moons and satellites.Now in the reign of the 'young emperor' of only sixteen, the Empire is most threatened, soon to be attacked on three flanks, it will be one of the greatest tests and endeavours of any united coalition of humanity. This war will require the need for the greatest soldiers in generations, and the willpower of every able man in the Empire.
'We will either win, and conquer, or lose, and perish. It is up to you to decide our fate...'
- The First Emperor, adressing his men before the battle over Olympus Mons.

Empires of Saturn, Part One
Humanity has long since spread from Earth, colonizing numerous nearby planets, moons, and even neighboring star systems. A united, peaceful expansion enjoyed by all of humankind. But those days are gone. Billions of years have passed since the first ships left Earth, stars have burned out and been replaced, the colonies lost or divided, rising anew thousands of times in history; now each one is united on its own surface, but every colony of mankind is isolated from the others. Earth has just overcome a cataclysm, Mars has undergone an uprising, the colonies across other stars are gone. Only Sol has shined forever. The focus shifts to the moons of Saturn, and those who reside there. Colonized eons ago from select groups of settlers from Earth and Mars, the six inhabited moons of Iedra, Feirro, Eympas, Alrotha, Torhindred, Titan, and Lyriptus- formerly entitled Enceladus, Mimas, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan, and Iapetus- each stand alone, in a perpetual feud started long ago. Some care not at all for the others one way or another. Some are too weak to meddle in the affairs of their neighbors. Some are so strong they are feared. Others still seek domination, and will do whatever they can to get it. Sol's light shines on the fatherworld, far away. Tensions only rise. Unity or division? Is there a difference? When the clouds loose the lightning, who will know from where and why it strikes?Complete

Humanity Endures
Desperation, ideals, greed, and hope - they all have a role to play in tearing the galaxy apart. The human race finds itself at the precipice; a mysterious, monstrous force threatens everything in the cosmos, and all the while, the unity of humanity's Empire threatens to shatter just when it is needed most. Never before has extinction been so tangible a possibility, and never before has exceptional courage, intellect, and luck been more needed. This is a story about more than just people, their ambitions, and their conflicts: it is a story about crisis, set in a universe where survival, for any side, and for anyone, may be impossible. It remains to be seen if the popular patriotic saying, "Humanity endures," will remain true - even for a week. -- If you wish you purchase a paperback version of this novel, you can do so on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Humanity-Endures-Evan-Peter-Armstrong/dp/B08P8QK86H.

At the end of the day when the sun goes down we are still the murderers who took the lives of hundreds and sometimes thousands. We are still the ones who have orphaned children. And you call us saints but no, soldiers are murderers who hide behind patriotism and lies. -Lorelei Jameson WARNING THIS IS A SEQUEL. Go read Journey before you read Ascension.

A Link To The Past [Nikke x Legendary Commander]
Humanity once stood on the top of the world. They ruled the planet with an iron grip. Their rise in technology, industry, engineering, and science were quickly growing. However, an invasion on a worldwide scale had occurred in late 2023. Though there were initial successes in repelling these unknown, mechanical entities. They would eventually start to gain ground through quick adoption of newer variants of their beings and adjusting to counter common military tactics. However, more was needed, so came the introduction of Nikkes, an experimental female soldier that would be the first cybernetic frontline soldier. Even though there were attempts of converting males to such a task, they would become unsuccessful, as it was found out that males were more susceptible to cognitive dissonance and suicide. And so, females ranging from 18 to 30 years of age would remain the main source of Nikkes. As the war raged on, more variants of Nikkes would reinforce or replace the quickly diminishing forces of the world. There would be a significant breakthrough in the Nikkes, with the introduction of the Grimm models of Nikkes. Five Nikkes would be produced by a now defunct company. This squad would be called Goddess. They would be commanded by a special forces Captain Nicholas Miller, and through their first missions, they would further prove the effectiveness of specialized Nikkes and even push the Raptures back some. However, even their efforts would not be enough to stop the tithe of Raptures from encompassing Europe. After many years of fighting, there was one last desperate defense of a structure known as the Ark. Unfortunately, humanity would end up underground where they would spend the next 5 centuries fighting the raptures in smaller scale battles, skirmishes, and special operations. All while the fates of Goddess squad and the now legendary Captain Nicholas Miller had remained a mystery.Complete
