INVASION: Wildest Game by VEIILLL07

20 years ago, the world was on the brink of extinction when the Galactic Federation saved Earth. Since then, humans pledged their loyalty to serve them. Human's connection with one of the higher beings in the universe, resulted in Earth's civilization rising to a higher level. Two decades passed and new generations rose. I, Alexa Stanfield, a 20-year-old college student, found out that the Galactic Federation saved Earth for a dark purpose. For two decades, we've been conscripted and nurtured under the guise of care, only to unveil our grim fate as pawns in an Intergalactic conflict, thrust into a war we never signed up for. The previous species that Galactic Federation sent were annihilated quickly. Therefore, they were forced to use us, as their new human army, opposing the plan's timing. My friends and I were selected as candidates with the resilience to withstand mind manipulation. We endured an intense training regimen that was more like a deadly game of survival. The Federation believed that this was the only way to prepare us for the war since they have no time to waste on conventional methods. My friends and I share an unbreakable bond and loyalty, soon to be challenged by the most harrowing trials. Armed with only our school learning and raw life experiences, we'll face murder, death, sacrifices, and betrayal. A kid, old, man, or woman, there's no exception, regardless of age or gender. Our training ground? Safira, a verdant moon planet. This is the story of our involvement in the most intense training of our lives.

Trusting The Treacherous Renegade by DressTakeItOff

"Okay I'll give you three seconds then I'll shoot if you don't start talking." "Fine, fine, fine, shit, calm down, would ya? Jeez." Kayn shakes his head and walks back to the couch. He throws himself down and relaxes while his legs are resting on the coffee table. "You humans are so grumpy," Kayn complains. "Are you human?" I ask. "So many questions, I don't even get a chance at answering to them. On top of that, you're stressing me out with that revolver. I can't handle this situation, Gianna." I walk closer to him, a little baffled by his calm, joyful, teasing, attitude. "I'll put it down," I start and sit down on the floor. "But if you don't talk, I won't think twice on shooting this time." I'm rewarded with a smile. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Gianna's life is starting to go back to normal after the tragic passing of her mother. Well, as ordinary as it gets for someone who's spent her life behind the gates of a classified facility. Gianna isn't fond of her father's experiments but she doesn't know how to stop him. Mr. Clermont is a persuasive man. This is until the enchanting man called Kayn shows up at the facility, claiming he's from the near galaxy called Andromeda. Kayn starts to share one too many secrets about the death of Gianna's mother. To then give her a proposition, a favor for a favor, that might change the world we live in forever. Even the universe.

Marching Fleet by MauryWGarcia

This is a show script inspired heavily by many different classic franchises like Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar: Galactica and Halo. The story is a military sci-fi action show with a bit of drama in between and some fantasy elements later on and also sprinkled with comedy now and again. The show is also heavily peppered with music terminology and music references like the names of certain ships and aspects of war and the names of factions specially. I made this show as an allegory for my experience in band and all characters are based on real people and the relationships between them. If you are interested in the show script and want to provide helpful criticism and/or ask questions about the show, you can contact me on the Marching Fleet Instagram page linked below. A story about war in the universe. I joined the band at my high school as a brass player, specifically tuba, and became obsessed with all things music, it was always present in all things I did. One day I made a drawing of a ship and called it the "SS Vanguard Brass" and sent it to my friends in brass. One responded by saying "hey, that should be a fan fiction or something"(Duclos), so I sat down and thought about it and decided that if I was going to do it, even though I adore movies, it would have to be a show. So I spent a few hours of my day that I had to spare and wrote a pilot that I then shared with my friends. They adored the script and said they would support me with creative help(meaning they would judge would I write). A few months later it is now being read by many people I know, including the director of my high school band. For Doc version: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1llu5LPXMZ0zrVBpUwjLMO1w73AkGZwKrRAs8FdCAf0s/edit?usp=sharing If interested on news for the show, follow the Marching Fleet Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marching_fleet/

Andromeda: The Last Descendants by 00BooksbyAugust00

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. I know a lot of people skip Prologues, however, it has important information that will give you a better understanding of what's going on in other chapters. Feel free to comment and vote. Its makes my day better seeing you enjoy this book as much as I enjoy writing it. #1 Colony - 11/17 #1 Invading - 11/17 #1 Colonization- 12/29

True Passion (Male Sith OC x Ahsoka Tano) by Bourbon56

"I see no lies other than the Jedi lies that you have engulfed yourself in. I am no longer blinded by them. This is who I am now, a warrior for the Dark side, for the RIGHT side of this war." "But you seem to remember the feelings you had for me when we were both young Jax. That little boy that I met on my first day in the temple isn't gone,as long as you continue to hold onto those feelings," "He is to me. I'm scared that those feelings are just illusions Soka. I don't want them to be that. I want them to be real, as real as I believe them to be." ~~~~~~~~~~ The Clone wars have begun, and when it comes to violence, no one knows that more than Jax. Once a highly skilled Padawan under Aayla Secura, he now lives his life as the infamous Sith Lord, "Darth Mordain". Trained by the cruel Lord Sidious and cunning Count Dooku, Jax came to realise that the Jedi order's ways were corrupt, and that they have fallen far further than he thought ever possible. Warped by the dark side, he made it his mission to bring down the Jedi order by any means necessary, even if it means fighting for the Separatists. Perhaps even leading them... --------------- I DO NOT OWN STAR WARS, ONLY MY OCS. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE PICTURES USED IN THIS BOOK.

In the Rouge by SJForester

In a world... Where star-crossed lovers guarantee sales and novels lack all novelty... Comes a story so generic that it will appeal to everyone of every generation forever... The story of a ruggedly handsome man of indeterminate age, named Guy who meets an exquisitely beautiful recently-come-of-age woman, named Eve. It's love at first sight, but one of them has a secret... A secret so big that it will tear them apart forever... Or will it? The world may never know, because this is not that book. This book is clever and will appeal to a specific audience. People who like witty humor and realistic characters. People who like a large dose of laughter in their sci-fi. Wherein: Liam Gatley is—was a normal, just-trying-to-get-by-with-as-little-effort-as-possible university student. But he’s just woken up from a birthday bender in a recruiting office, and before he can even figure out what’s happened, he’s rushed aboard the (in)famous ISS Titan to hunt down interstellar pirates as a proud—and completely expendable—member of the Imperial Space Corps. Suddenly it’s hard to imagine life being any worse . . . It turns out Liam just needs a better imagination. On his first day, Liam is shot, stabbed, crushed, electrocuted, asphyxiated, and drowned. It gets even worse when the Titan runs afoul of a telepathic mutant who turns the ship’s own crew against her. Now Liam’s talent at not-quite-dying might save the day, but he’ll still have to lose his mind to survive. And if he can manage that, he’ll have to battle an overzealous military commander whose ambition threatens the entire Interstellar Human Empire. If he ever hopes to make it home again, Liam will have to risk everything to save the empire. On the bright side, he may just get the girl in the process.

Vengeance: A Sith's Story (Male Sith OC x Star Wars) by Bourbon56

BOOK 1 ~~~~~~~~~ #1 in Republic #1 in Sidious #1 in Mothertalzin ~~~~~~~~~ "The Force is a pathway to two sides my dear. One is light, one is dark. Balance is a tender thing and so where there is light, there must be darkness....my darkness." Once, the mighty Sith empire stood strong and unopposed, only being threatened by the corrupt, arrogant, Jedi Order. Darth Malidictus was the apprentice, of Darth Vitiate, and was the heir to the Sith empire as a whole. But where his master saw strength, he saw cruelty, and malice. It was safe to say, that whilst he did follow the Sith way, he didn't support his emperor's attitude to the empire, which was often with an iron fist. After a horrendous attack by the Jedi on a sacred burial ground, Malidictus and his master face one another, after Vitiate perceived his students tactics as cowardice, and tries to execute him for it. But, after a nasty explosion, Malidictus is frozen in Carbonate, and three thousand years later....he is freed, and once he learns of the empire's fall, his ideals and goals, change. What will he do when he gains an apprentice, and focuses on reforming the once, great, empire? WARNING!! -Detailed and graphic scenes of Violence and Gore -Detail of torture and barbaric treatment -Detailed chapters of Trauma, depression, and a number of other things (I will put a warning up at the top of these chapters as well) - A LOT of bad language (star wars bad language at least) I DO NOT OWN STAR WARS, IT ALL BELONGS TO LUCASFILMS AND DISNEY
