Four years after the epic Battles of Sol and Epsilon, a deceptive calm cloaks the galaxy for the Federation. The Republic has aligned with the United Federation of Nations, marking a newfound peace for humanity. The imposing Dyson Sphere stands as a hopeful emblem of rebuilding, as societies begin to heal from the scars of war.

Yet beneath this tranquil veneer, chaos brews ominously. The Alliance, once a ruthless and power-hungry faction, is now engulfed in a civil war that reveals the dark reality of its nature. Formerly portrayed as a united front, their alliances were built upon enslaved populations, and now the factions clash violently in a desperate scramble for power, with trust a distant memory.

In the shadows, the Legion relentlessly pursues the remnants of the Alliance, annihilating any opposition with a single-minded ferocity. Their ambition is boundless, and as they hunt down their enemies, they threaten to plunge the galaxy back into despair.

Compounding the turmoil, unsettling whispers hint at the reemergence of three ancient civilizations. These long-forgotten powers are stirring from slumber, possibly bringing untold knowledge and technologies along with them. Their true motives remain cloaked in mystery, igniting fears of impending catastrophe across the stars.

As the galaxy-and the multiverse-teeters on the brink of upheaval, the Federation unexpectedly stands at the center of these tumultuous changes. Unaware of the brewing storm, they must confront the echoes of the past. The question lingers: will the Federation rise to face the enigmatic challenges ahead, or will they succumb to the shadows that threaten them?All Rights Reserved

Intergalactic Affairs [FINAL CHAPTER OUT NOW!!] by jack-ofalltrades

In a war-torn universe, the peacemakers are seen as weak, and those who would see the galaxies ripped apart have the power to make it so and take what they would from the aftermath. Amidst a battle for the very soul of the Universal Government, there are a select few willing to stand up for what they believe in. Though they each know exactly what their choices may cost, four individuals stand against the wrongs of an unjust war. An alien girl with a mysterious past, willing to sacrifice all for those she loves; a general's son, born a healer yet forced to serve as a soldier; a kind human who will give her all to aid the quest of her friends; a gifted space-girl who risks everything to do what's right; together, a mismatched group united by the sufferings of war and the belief in peace.

"An adventurous story filled with wonder and excitement, but mystery and turns that will make you yearn for more." -flygirl1, author of Kiros "...A twisting, turning roller coaster of a story. The characters are relatable and the plot wonderfully exhilarating." -WingSeeker (Highest rank 57 in adventure)

Star Wars: Rise of the Fel Empire by WilliamKillian

STAR WARS: Rise of the Fel Empire Forty-six years before the Battle of Yavin... The Galactic Republic, ancient and vast, governs millions of star systems. Its Senate is increasingly paralyzed by factionalism, procedural delay, and the growing power of interstellar corporations whose influence rivals that of entire sectors. Along the Outer Rim, disputes over trade routes, taxation, and security escalate faster than the Republic can respond. Entire regions fall under the control of commercial alliances, while local governments appeal-often unsuccessfully-for aid from the Core. The Jedi Order, stretched thin across the galaxy, is dispatched to contain rising instability. With no great war to fight and no Sith threat believed to exist, the Jedi serve primarily as mediators and investigators, attempting to preserve order in a Republic showing signs of strain. Beyond the Republic's borders, in the uncharted depths of Wild Space, long-range exploration missions push farther than ever before. Unaware of what lies ahead, the Republic stands on the brink of first contact with a power hidden for millennia- a meeting that will quietly, irrevocably alter the balance of the galaxy.

Blood Impulse by SRCraven

Humanity has an inherent tendency toward self-destruction. Drowning in hate and hedonism, the worlds of humanity have not seen a true peace since the end of the Hydrian War. It has been decades since humanity saw any true technological advancement. Ruled by a decaying republic, for most of humanity, absolute loyalty and real morality no longer exist. This is the declining state of the Ariean Solar Year 4249. Sickened by the state of the worlds, Charleston Reeter knows he and the rest of humanity were meant for something better. With the aid of a powerful AI harboring her own intentions, Reeter's New Era Movement will accept only perfection. People believe he will lead them to a future that is nothing less than heaven. Admiral Gives has seen hell. To him, it's any day he's forced to work with reporters or politicians. There is nothing worse for one of the most hated members of the human race. It is not his business if the worlds of humanity want to tear themselves apart, provided they leave his ship alone. But humanity came to hate him for a reason: given the chance to save the worlds, Admiral Gives refused. The rest of the human race never forgave him for it. It rendered him and his haunted battleship the embodiment of every evil Reeter has set out to exterminate. Welcome to the dark side of human nature. Welcome aboard the Battleship Singularity. ...... Guts, gore and cursing galore, Blood Impulse explores a galaxy where morality has disappeared. Inspired by Battlestar, Firefly and Star Trek, if you miss the glory days of TV space opera, this all-original work is for you. Step aboard if you dare, and don't forget to leave a vote!

Struggle for Olympus: Guardsmen by Akkenbosch

The year is 2547. The Third Solar War grinds into its thirtieth year, a meat-grinder of ideals and bodies, fought across the bones of dead worlds. The Socialist Initiative is breaking. The Earth Defense Directorate, vast and unrelenting, closes its iron grip around the last resisting systems. Amidst this collapse, Master Sergeant Aken Rourke, a genetically engineered Guardsman born of doctrine and sacrifice, fights not for victory, but survival. There is no art now. No ideology. Only flame and steel, ash and silence. But war has always been a mask , and something else is watching behind it. A threat stirs at the edge of known space, and with it comes a reckoning older than humanity, colder than policy, and hungrier than any doctrine. The future of mankind will not be decided by heroes or visionaries. It will be carved by the last, furious breath of the damned, by the stubborn, the broken, and the betrayed... and not all of them are human. (This is a project I've been working on since 2010.)
