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

Fracture - Book One of the Glass Galaxy Trilogy by ChampionofNight

Book one of the Glass Galaxy Trilogy Almost a century ago the very stars disappeared, leaving space a black void for three long hours, and when they returned, they weren't the same. The galaxy had changed. Old constellations were gone, well-known planets nowhere to be found, and new inter-galactic nations replaced the old. Only a single star system didn't change. Kalani, a now ex-naval officer, has been wandering this new and unfamiliar galaxy for most of his life, searching endlessly for both his fiancé and the solar system they called home, but he has found nothing, and he grows more disheartened with each passing day. He has nothing but himself, his ship, and his companion AI in a galaxy that grows ever more dangerous, and if he doesn't adapt soon, then he will fall prey to the harsh circumstances that have overthrown his life. It's a good thing, then, that he will do anything to find his long-lost love.

Black Star: Odyssey Beyond Infinity by Hazelnut_N

I... was an enemy of humanity, and somehow, humanity is the enemy of mine. --- Or rather, they thrust me into the whirlwind of accountability for a mistake, a disaster, that pushed us beyond the borders of Earth to "save the human race" yet again, as we had probably stained the great humans' great intentions, and great reputation. As I soared into the exhilarating vastness of space, embraced by dazzling stars and swirling galaxies, I had uncovered a haunting truth - one that reshaped everything I thought I knew, unfolding the mysteries of the universe and my very existence. It was the 23rd century, the world was supposed to reflect a Golden Age, but nothing could be perfect... --- Highest rankings: 3rd in Betray

A genocidal alien alliance hell-bent on the utter destruction of man-kind.

An ordinary young man living an ordinary life finds his society crumbling apart at the seams due to an ever-intensifying plague of insurrection that seems to spread faster than it can be quelled. After joining the Marines to make a difference, to bring stability to his society, he soon realizes that he's no more than a minuscule cog in a very large machine. Harvest. A major farming colony at the edge of UNSC-controlled space goes offline. Just as Gray thinks he'll coast out his short-term service in the Corps, tragedy strikes, and a new player enters the field. Now Gray must desperately juggle the responsibilities of maintaining his relationship with the girl of his dreams, raising a future family, surviving the Covenant onslaught, and most of all: Keeping his humanity.
