The Tale of The Ghost Dreadnought by Sege05

!!Disclamer!! The story, ideas, and details are created by me, the chapters were turned into text by OpenAI's ChatGPT-4o "In the depths of the galaxy lies the Ghost Region, an enigmatic void where the laws of reality twist and break. At its heart drifts the Ghost Dreadnought, a relic of untold power and terror, whose ghostly fleet prowls the spectral expanse. Legends tell of ships torn apart by its wrath, of crimson-marked vessels defying physics, and of whispers that chill the soul. As explorers, criminals, and the curious alike are drawn into its deadly orbit, one truth becomes clear: in the haunted reaches of space, some mysteries are better left undisturbed."

Objective~Zero by pinkil0v

This story follows some teens and young adults going on a ship together for years. They were sent because of the main idea of a fun trip. What they didn't know is that some of the people on the ship were injected with a type of infection that would have a deep effect on them later on. Cannibalistic type effects to be exact. No one knows about this, not even the captain has any clue that this is all a test for NASA's new," Treatment for youth". They soon find out that the ship is slowly crashing down while they are being chased by man-hungry victims. They also learn that to survive, they have to try and vote out the cannibalistic murders before they kill everyone off the ship. Everyone is the enemy, they have to learn that, but basing off of some people on the ship, that's not likely to happen. Who are the infected of the ship? Who will die or get voted off? How many people will survive this test? Read to find out!👨‍🚀💉🔪🔌

Galaxy Pirates by TamunaTsertsvadze

In a distant future, mankind discovers they're not alone in this universe. Aliens arrive, and the Earth gets engulfed in space wars, where humans turn out helpless and defenceless, regardless of their nuclear and biological weapons. One of the strongest and the most aggressive species of aliens - the Reptiloids - turn Planet Earth into their slave-trading colony. Soon the population of humans drastically decreases, so that they are on the verge of extinction. Gods, deities, fate, light - everything seems to have forsaken them. Violet Hawthorne is one of the few surviving humans, sold as a slave. The nineteen-year-old girl works in a pub on Planet Irahor of the Radenoids (the species that created humans millennia ago). She is treated worse than an animal and laments about her cruel fate. Yet, unlike other humans, Violet has not given up on hope - she knows that there somewhere, across the stars, roams a man who can reverse the course of fate - the Young Captain of the Galaxy Pirates. Violet dreams to find this legendary man and enter his crew of audacious pirates fighting against the cruel world, in the hope of getting their help to save her planet and people. --- Available for sale on Amazon on the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YN1JRJF

Customs inspector Jinsin Koel is used to having guns pointed at her head - but not ones attached to weapon-heavy cyborg insects who consider her lower on the food chain. The Xykeree, past enemies of humanity, should never have been allowed to dock at her home port. And they're just the start of her problems. Throw in a hereditary neurological illness and a secret society of soldiers genetically tailored for psionic combat and she has herself a whole new level of trouble ... the kind that could destroy her personal foundations and imperil billions of lives.
