mercenary military space war

In the aftermath of World War III, humanity has scattered across the stars - not to build utopias, but to export the same conflict, greed, and power struggles that nearly destroyed Earth.

Across hundreds of worlds, brushfire wars erupt over fuel, taxes, and trade. Corporations clash on backwater planets. Colonies revolt against distant rulers. Peace is rare. Profit is everything.

And war? War is outsourced.

Jan Blaszek used to be a soldier. Now he's a mercenary, stuck leading his squad through the chaos of a deuterium war on the colony world of Corinth. Outnumbered, underpaid, and unsupported, he'll have to navigate broken alliances, local militias, and corporate treachery - or die trying.

This is the age of the condottiere. The soldier of fortune. And business is booming.All Rights Reserved

Cyberpunk: Arthur Morgan by GhostParser

(A Cyberpunk 2077 fanfic - when Arthur Morgan steps into Night City...) From steam trains roaring across the wild plains to sleek hovering cars drifting under neon lights. From the untamed cowboy riding under endless skies to the lone biker wandering the edge of the world. One man. Two legends. Arthur Morgan has already fulfilled his destined redemption. But when he faces a world wrapped in the chains of "civilization," how will he survive? In the year 2077, the world is torn apart - half civilization, half crime. Yet even in this so-called age of progress, the heart of humanity remains as savage as ever. From the gunslinger of the past to a drifter two centuries later, can Arthur leave behind his own mark - a drink called The Cowboy - in this ruthless world?

A perpetual winter grips the globe, not with snow, but with a frigid silence that has rendered all but the strongest technology useless. Society, once a sprawling web of connection, has been reduced to millions of isolated lives, each confined within the glowing walls of their personal tech-pods. The world's collective heart has grown cold, and humanity has turned its back on itself. Now, as the great freeze threatens to sever the last digital threads connecting them, a low hum of panic pulses through the global network. With the last remnants of power failing, the isolated masses huddle in their pods, desperately clinging to the final, flickering embers of a world they've forgotten how to live in together.

How to Become Godlike by cerg2791

The distant future. The war between androids and humanity has recently ended. The humans barely won, losing many technologies. A little time has passed, and a new threat has emerged. The emperor of one of the empires wants to enslave everyone, and the Republic of free planets is forced to enter the war. The Republic's scientists invent a new engine, but it needs a lot of gold. One of the ships of the free planets goes to a newly discovered, backward planet. It is inhabited by humans, but communication with other planets has long been lost, and the people have slipped into a feudal-slave system. The scientists on the ship can't directly show their presence because of the rules and decide to turn some crew members into gods so they can collect gold. But first, the scientists decide to organize a rebellion on the planet. The godlike have to face many difficulties.

Saint in Night City (Male Saint's Row Boss(SR2ish) x Cyberpunk 2077) by BetterBeWothIt

Before we start, Read the Fine Print on the Cover art. Click/Tap the Story Cover Art in order to read it, Even then you'll probably have to squint your eyes a little. Oh and yes there will be Furries... They kinda do Exist in Cyberpunk's world. I'm just pushing it to its extreme. You know as Fanfic's often do. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll put in humans somewhere. All Characters are 18+ btw. 1. If you're offended by me not liking the Saints Row Reboot please go back to Reddit/Twitter and continue not playing the game. Just because someone else has an opinion doesn't mean you can bully them into apologizing and saying it's actually great. because it's not. Leave your Political driven messages at Twitter's door, not mine. 2. If you are delighted, Welcome! I'm sure you and I will be able to reminisce about the good old days. Lord knows we need it nowadays. 3. If you're from the Saints Row The Third crowd and you still don't like the Reboot, I welcome you too! Though this will be a bit more serious story I'm sure we'll have some wacky elements too. With that out of the way, I do not own Saints Row or Cyberpunk 2077. Anything and art I do use belong to its repetitive owners. I will attempt to Credit the Artist and Source them When needed(Normally I use e621 because they have Sorce links 90% of the time). Typically this is when I have to edit down Pics. If I don't have to you guys can look up the Artist on whichever media I use(Again, Typically e621). You lot are Big Boy's and Gal's now. I don't need to link the Sorce I credit every single time. You are The Boss, The Playa, THE Leader of the Saints. You took back Stilwater after taking it from the Cold Dead Hands from its previous Owners that made a name for themselves after you got blown up. The Ronin, The Sons of Samadi, The Brotherhood(My Favorite for obvious reasons), and of course Ultor. All that needs to be done is to live the good life... But of course, that's not how this story goes now, is it?

The War of the Future by Communist123

The year is 2050 and humankind is in an age of prosperity. The Sahara desert is now a lush farmland, the amazon is twice its original size, poverty is almost non existent, all cars are now electric, food is grown in huge urban farms, cancer has been cured and great strife's are being made technologically. The future of civilisation has never looked brighter, but in March 2050, a ginormous army of 500,000 people has appeared out of a huge ball of electricity, the size of Manhattan and their leader, General Hunter Padlock, speaks of a world where there are only 1 billion humans left, a world where humanity has fought a 40 year long war with malevolent machines, intent on butchering all humans, a world where humankind is suffering from starvation, desperation, panic and despair. That world is.......2150.
