In a world where the United States was literally blown from history, the old modern world has been replaced by one ruled by rising powers---the GUSSR and the CCP---who have shaped the globe in their image. The United States, long thought lost, has mysteriously reemerged, but not as it once was. This new America hails from a different time, one that never experienced the rise of these authoritarian regimes.
Now, the country must navigate a harsh and unfamiliar world, facing threats from the very powers that have dominated for decades. It's a battle for freedom, and the future, as the United States fights to free the world from the oppressive grip of tyranny.

INVASION: Wildest Game
Twenty years ago, the Galactic Federation saved Earth from extinction. In return, humanity gave them its loyalty. Under their guidance, civilization advanced beyond anything we thought possible. New technology. New systems. A stronger world. For most of my life, I believed they were our saviors but I was wrong. My name is Alexa Stanfield. I'm twenty years old, a college student, and one of the people chosen for a purpose the Federation kept hidden from humanity for decades. We were never simply rescued but being prepared. An intergalactic war is spreading across the universe, and the Federation is running out of soldiers. The species they sent before us were destroyed faster than expected. Now, they want humans to take their place. My friends and I were selected because we can resist psychological manipulation better than most, but there's no time for ordinary military training. So, the Federation created something else, Safira, a beautiful moon transformed into a massive survival ground where every trial is designed to push us beyond our limits. There are no exceptions. Not for the young. Not for the old. Not for the innocent. Once you're chosen, you play. And the rules are simple: Adapt, survive, and become useful. My friends and I thought our bond would be enough to carry us through. We were wrong about that, too. Because Safira doesn't just test strength. It tests loyalty, trust, far, and how far someone is willing to go when survival demands a sacrifice. I thought the worst thing waiting for us was the war beyond the stars. I should have been more afraid of the game itself. Because the moment Safira began, I realized something the Federation never told us. Not everyone who enters is meant to leave.

GATE X NHS : Thus the Galactic Imperium Enforce Peace
In the vast expanse of the cosmos, the Galactic Imperium stands as the bastion of order and civilization, its legacy stretching across a millennium. For a thousand years, it has defended the known galaxy against the relentless onslaught of alien invaders and cosmic terrors, holding steadfast against the chaos that threatens to engulf the cosmos. But in the year 3981, a monumental event unfolds at the heart of Neo Constantinople in the Deneb Prime system of the Deneb Sector. A mysterious structure materializes, defying the laws of space and time, its origins shrouded in enigma. This anomaly, dubbed the "GATE," heralds not just a new chapter in the Imperium's history, but an unprecedented era of expansion and discovery. With the emergence of the GATE, the Galactic Imperium finds itself presented with unparalleled opportunities and challenges. Beyond its borders lies an uncharted galaxy ripe for exploration and conquest, teeming with ancient secrets and untold dangers. As the Imperium ventures forth into this uncharted realm, it must navigate treacherous waters, facing foes both familiar and alien, while unlocking the mysteries of the GATE and harnessing its unfathomable power. Thus, amidst the stars, a new saga begins for the Galactic Imperium-one that will test its resolve, shape its destiny, and redefine the very fabric of the cosmos. (AN: Each chapters would be very long. So I suggest you read this while relaxing. Maybe with snacks or drinks, if you will. Or tucked in comfortably in your bed. Whatever you prefer.)
Andromeda: The Last Descendants
Survival in space was our only option. The dying earth and its sickly inhabitants forced us to flee to the stars. My father, the commander of the elite group chosen to live amongst the stars, brought me along for the journey. And everything was going smoothly until I unexpectedly woke up on a new planet, one with an ethereal glow and an eerie resemblance to our old home as the commander of the military space force, my father tasked his men with exploring this new world. But what they discovered was far from welcoming. This new planet was already inhabited by terrifying creatures, and they were not happy with our presence. His men fought to survive against these beasts, I couldn't help but wonder why they were so hostile towards us. That's when one of them approached me, defying everything we had been warned about. Instead of attacking, it watched me pick flowers before later saving me from a fiery blast. Now it's my turn to save him. Please read the prologue in the beginning before going to Chapter 1.
