Far into the future, humanity has vanished from the Galaxy. Nobody knows why, or where they went. Earth wanders the galaxy in the dark, kept alive by unfathomably powerful technology, remaining as a pilgrimage for those who seek to understand those who came before. 

Legends speak of a great battle from a threat beyond the horizon of the galaxy, and of the ultimate sacrifice - but the truth is lost to time... To all but one. One who will tell his fantastic story to anyone willing to hear, including a young girl and her father, visiting the ancestral home of humanity to reflect on their losses and what it means to carry on without. 

Sit and listen with them, as K'Tal, the Last Hyperion, weaves a tale of hope and endurance, love and loss, meaning and sacrifice... For these are The Things They Left Behind.All Rights Reserved

U.S.S.A Umbra by Umbralmen01

In the distant future of the 28th century, mankind survived near extinction and made it into the wider galaxy, with almost no other sapient life in the milky way to stop humanity's expansion. Space was ripe for the pickings. Now mankind and the enigmatic Voidrians formed the U.S.S. The (United Solar systems Alliance). Before Mankind became the dominant force in the Milky way Earth was in shambles, natural resources were nearly depleted, disease was rampant and most of Earth's population was in poverty.

Earth and humanity were saved. The little planet that was to thank for their salvation was named Umbra. Corporal Damien Kurosawa is a marine for the United. Solar. Systems. Alliance. his girlfriend, Alice, and he are hired to work aboard the famous transport ship that saved humanity, the U.S.S.A Umbra.

My Past or Present! by background21

A Past and Present definitely involve the people in it, but they both have more than that to offer. The situations, the choices made for you and the choices made by you in the past were and the choices would be made for you and by you in the present are as important as the people. Is it possible to fight everything in the past and engulf the present? Or will the external factors will delay the desired result of such fight even after going through the fight? The story of another confused person who is self misjudged and misjudged by others in a whole level or maybe only partly. Let us see whether the light can reach the person's heart while giving it to the other due to just a coincidence like the person thinks. --------------- note: need to read Past or Present to under stand this better...

The New Generation by EriAeternum

"Our entire lives led us to this moment, only for us to lose in the end. We aren't a team, a family, we never were. We are just a bunch of puzzle pieces that were forced together but don't really fit." When it was all said and done, they all agreed, they were never meant to win. They watched as the world around them burned, a world they fought so hard to protect. In the distance, a tall figure stood with pride watching his chaos morph into victory, there was nothing left for him to do but watch his enemies perish in the flames. . . ---------- It's the fight they have all waited for their entire lives. The New Generation is ready to defend their family, their friends, and their world from Itri who will all but destroy it if he gets the chance. They know their parent's stories were the start of a battle, but they are here to win the war, as one, as a team. They are meant to work together to defeat their enemy. Ten people united by the most unlikely circumstances, five daughters whose futures are predetermined, and only one chance to make things right. It won't be easy, they must make allies, face new enemies, rely on one another and try not to die in the process, but when new truths come to light, a divide is placed between them as their trust for each other falls apart. Friends become enemies, one team becomes two sides and their enemy only gets stronger in the process. Once upon a time, they thought they can do anything together, but how do you change a future that has already been seen? How can you rely on someone you no longer trust? How will you save an entire universe if you can't even save yourself? You can't hope to win if you're already destined to lose. . . but then again, you can't win at all unless hope is present and that's what matters most. ********** An Aeterian Story- Final Book
